Just a reminder: Investors have no clue which ideas will actually work. Some of the best companies in the world were passed by hundred of investors originally because investors couldn’t see the future. look at what the "hype" was every year versus the companies that won big

Building a startup is amazing because you get to escape your boring 9-5 and finally have freedom. Now you get to do sales, marketing, support, recruiting, product, engineering, finance, and customer success all at the same time.

Hi Twitter!! I need your help. I want to help one Founder raise millions of $ while helping them build in public. We'll document the whole journey - the wins, the struggles, all of it. I've built Stan to $40M in revenue and raised millions thanks to building in public myself. If you know any Founders in NYC looking for this level of help… please have them apply here! Someone who: → Is serious about their success → Has strong fundamentals (solid business, early traction) → Is eager to get after it Would LOVE to make this happen. Apply here (or send to a Founder you know): forms.gle/G4sE12oKYxZMYk…

I'm giving away a FULL course on how to build a managed AI agent business solo using Hermes Agent, Orgo, Obsidian, Codex, Claude Code etc. Here's everything (47 minutes): 1. The offer: unlimited agents, unlimited usage, all infrastructure and security included. The customer gets a digital employee. They never think about tokens or models. You handle everything. 2. Don't niche down too fast. Try marketing agencies, law firms, insurance, manufacturing, real estate. See where the market pulls you. Then go vertical. Diverge first, converge later. 3. Every executive has the same problems regardless of industry. Too many emails, too many meetings, too many follow-ups, too many open loops. Solve those first. Then layer in vertical-specific skills. 4. The stack: Hermes Agent for the agent harness. Codex or Claude Code desktop to build and configure. Orgo for cloud computers so every agent lives in its own sandbox. Composio for one-click authentication across thousands of apps. Agent Mail to give every agent its own email. Obsidian for the knowledge base. 5. Use agents to build agents. Don't stress about setup. Use Claude Code or Codex to install and configure Hermes inside a VM. Use Perplexity MCP, Context7, and Exa for up-to-date docs. Your agent sets up your customer's agents. 6. GPT 5.5 is the best model right now. Efficient with tool calls. Doesn't eat tokens like Opus 4.7. For cheaper tasks, GLM 5.1 from ZAI is the best open source option. 7. Set up watchdogs for gateway crashes so they auto-restore. Have agents email you when cron jobs break or skills fail. Your customer should never have to tell you something is broken. 8. Get customers through content. If someone jumps on a call and already knows who you are and what you sell, that's the position you want. Content is the most leveraged thing you can do in 2026. 9. Keep scope tight. One to two requests at a time, delivered in under 48 hours. Use Trello for customer-facing project management. Send Loom updates at random hours to show you're always working on their agents. 10. If you can set up Claude Code, Hermes, or OpenClaw, you have a skill that 99% of business owners don't have and would pay $5k/month for. You're probably not giving yourself enough credit. shoutout to @nickvasiles from @orgodotai for coming back on @startupideaspod and sharing the full playbook. tools, stack, fulfillment, everything. this type of episode isn't shared anywhere on the internet. this is the alpha people keep for themselves. i will keep sharing if you keep watching. you could watch netflix or you can watch this (link below) youtu.be/BI-MNjm1tTQ?si… watch

update for a16z speedrun- It's now the FINAL week to apply for the upcoming 007 program hosted in San Francisco. Applications close officially on May 17th at 11:59 PM PST. Here's the link: speedrun.a16z.com Why apply? we'll invest up to $1m in your brand new startup. It can be pre-launch, pre-traction, and even pre-idea (for the right teams) and the a16z speedun team works with you to launch/scale If you're reading this, you might be: - hanging out at a job, waiting for your next promo/bonus/X-year mark/etc - you might have a side project, thinking it should be something bigger - you're talking with a work friend about starting something - finishing school, wondering if you should accept your job The thing i’d encourage you to think about is that most startups don’t start with certainty. they start with a feeling that something is pulling at you and won’t go away. A surprising number of the best founders we meet are very early: - no company yet - no deck - no huge insight tweet thread - sometimes not even fully committed yet Don't wait until you have the perfect idea, or feel “ready.” Or everyone around you agrees, so the opportunity cost feels lower. But by then, usually the edge is gone. These insights and windows don't last forever This is the best environment in history for small teams to build massive things. AI has compressed team sizes, timelines, distribution, and iteration speed so aggressively that the old career timing assumptions don’t fully apply anymore. anyway, if you’ve been circling the idea of starting something, this might be the sign to actually do it Official stuff below: - May 17th deadline to apply (this week!) - Official dates for SR007 are from July 27 through October 11, 2026 in San Francisco - We wire funds fast and onboard you to our network of over 250 partnered tools-providers with a total of $5M in credits. - Our stacked team of battle-tested operators who help cover your gaps, without adding headcount. Expect dedicated support and programs from experts across talent, recruiting, go-to-market, marketing, creators, capital network, HR, even visa support. - a16z speedrun is extremely selective. Join an elite community of over 600+ founders who actively support each other and serve as a powerful source of customer introductions and product feedback.

Dear X, need your help. I started this community in 2021. Growth was slow but grew to 185,000+ people. Tons of hard work. Zero playbook. Supporting each other daily! X is now axing communities in 30 days. I'm scrambling to save it but no luck yet... Any ideas? Please share👇
