Marc Lou@marclou
I'm going to San Francisco from Apr 28 to May 10 🦅🇺🇸🎉 It's my first time visiting the USA, so I'll organize a little meetup. If you're in SF on May 2nd, RSVP with the link in the next tweet. Would love to meet you! I wanted to do an outdoor meetup at Crissy Field, but ChatGPT tells me I need a permit. Is it true? If so, I'll find an indoor place and update the location later. I'll be at @stripe Session 2026 too, so if you're around, hit me up!

This 18 year old dropout just sold his app for $50M ARR
and now his new company just hit $177k MRR
It's actually the easiest thing to do
Here's how:::
#1 know your CAC and LTV
#2 Stop trying to outsource your work. Figure out how to market yourself and then delegate orelse you're just shooting in the dark for an agency paying for an overpriced service
#3 Ask for feedback and reiterate ALWAYS.

Just a year ago I was rejected from every single Ivy League school. Now, I’ve sold my $50M ARR company. The admissions officers are fuming 😂

‼️BON Credit @BONcreditai is literally paying people to stress test their AI money agent 💸
You can get $25 for FREE to test Bon Credit before they scale
Here’s the catch (and why it’s interesting):
Let AI analyze your real finances:
→ interest you’re paying
→ hidden fees
→ subscriptions
→ credit utilization
Then you push it. Ask hard questions. Break it.
They want real feedback from real users before launch
⏱ takes ~15 minutes
📸 submit screenshots + honest thoughts
💰 $25 per approved submission
👀 only ~10 spots
If you’ve ever wanted to see an AI actually manage your money… this is it

Absolute fire conversation. 🔥
We talked about AI agents & applications, @robiot’s story of building an app used by 310K users, crazy experience in Shenzhen, China and how he became the youngest engineer at @Lovable.
Also - don’t miss the part where Elliott speaks Mandarin.

53% MoM revenue growth in AI security.
The founder isn't on TechCrunch yet. They're on Pond, quietly compounding.
This is what early looks like before everyone else notices.
dylan@ThinksDylan
A startup in AI security on Pond is making $3-4k with a 53% month over month revenue growth. Guess who is this?

In our next podcast, we have a mysterious guest:
- The youngest engineer at Lovable.
- Built software with 310k users at 14 and created the first invention at 8.
- Finished high school programming classes in 3 weeks instead of 3 years.
and I had the best and funniest time talking to him. We have very much aligned on many things in AI, about applications, about agents and about the future human and computer interaction in the AI era.
Stay tuned.
