Walker Drewett

(1/5) Please allow me to introduce myself! I’m Founder/CEO of @nubrakes, a venture-backed mobile auto-repair company that we’ve grown to 8-figs in revenue. Started the biz when I was 21 y/o out of my grimy college rental house. I love that place! Home sweet home:

@Hybridathlete @thesamparr +1 - completely agree

I think you need someone who will keep it focused on what people really want to hear: what people at that income level actually do with their money. People that are already at that level (the ones you want in Hampton) probably aren't listening to this to hear mostly about how they made their money or built their business. They want insights as to what to do with their money. What's worth the splurges, what's not, where they invest, mistakes they made, tax strategies, inheritance strategies, prenups, etc. And the people that have no shot at that level of wealth also don't really care about how they made their money or built their business. There's plenty of podcasts for that. They are listening purely for entertainment, to hear about a life they will never live. They want to hear about how much some guy spends flying private, or how much he pays a month in landscaping, or how much he spent on a painting on his trip to Europe last year. Biggest problem is, most people (rightfully so) feel like an asshole talking about things like that, so they don't. But if prompted, and if others start doing it, they would likely share a bit more openly. Overall, if the goal is to grow Hampton, I just think you need a more standardized format that keeps it moe focused on their actual numbers, what they spend, how they invest, mistakes, and what changed at what different levels. And you need someone running it that can keep people on track and stop them from turning it into another episode of MFM. Also, I think having a few more younger guests more in the $5-10M range on occasion would be interesting.

I own a podcast called Moneywise. Its a personal finance podcast for high net worth people. It gets 15k-20k downloads an epiosde + 2k-30k views on youtube per episode. I don't have an owner of the podcast in my company. I'm trying to decide what to do with it. Any ideas? Would love to have someone run with it.

@JoshuaBaer @cartainc @AngelList I definitely will not use Carta again. My experience has been the exact same as you described.

I’ve been working with both @cartainc and @AngelList since they started. Carta keeps getting more expensive and crappier. Lots of mistakes, no customer service, 4% annual cost increase. AngelList keeps getting cheaper and better. New products, more automation, cost goes down.

@williampbarnes Awesome work my friend! Excited to see what’s next! 👊

I am proud to announce that we have closed our oversubscribed $40M Fund. karman.vc is a venture firm designed to serve founders who are building the next generation of AI-native companies. We are deeply optimistic about the future and believe AI will have a profoundly positive impact on society. We built the firm founders told us they wanted: move fast, commit early, and actively support with hiring, customer introductions, and follow-on fundraising. Our LPs include 10+ decacorn founders, 10+ GPs from leading later-stage firms, and a 6,000+ person alumni talent network from iconic tech companies. By bringing them together, Karman’s goal is simple: to put our collective experience and networks to work in service of the founders we partner with. How we invest • Pre-seed and seed • $100K–$500K checks • Often the first check Areas of interest • AI application layer • AI infrastructure + developer tools • AI modernizing core industries (healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, finance) • Embodied AI • Founders advancing the American national interest (American Dynamism)

@santinestea @dualentry @lightspeedvp @khoslaventures @GVteam Let’s go!! Awesome work!

@dualentry has raised a $90M Series A from @lightspeedvp, @khoslaventures and @GVteam, bringing our total funding to $100M to date. 18 months ago, we decided to build the ERP that makes sense for today. AI already changed Sales, Engineering, and Legal. With DualEntry, CFOs finally have the modern ERP they deserve. In the last 18 months we’ve: - shipped 350+ features - processed $100B+ worth of journal entries with AI - saved businesses 1000s of hours on implementation - onboarded 1000s of users across all continents - built the world’s most powerful migration engine for a 24-hour ERP implementation Our customers range from high-growth startups to NYSE-listed companies. They close the same day, report in real time, and achieve more with leaner teams. Since switching to DualEntry, one of our customers can run $140M ARR with just 1 controller. Excited to keep building the ERP for the AI age 🚀 Retweet + comment “free migration” and I’ll send over all you need to go live in 24 hours with NextDay Migration.

Excited to share Vibes — a new feed in the Meta AI app for short-form, AI-generated videos.

@JoshuaBaer @peteVII @UTAustin @gauntletai Love this idea! Josh - thanks for your instrumental role in developing and resourcing student entrepreneurs at UT!

@peteVII @UTAustin @gauntletai @WalkerDrewett Open door to CF Mentors, we host it in Captain America.

I'm teaching a new class at @UTAustin this fall inspired by @gauntletai. Each week a successful entrepreneur will come give their pitch and show an early demo. Each week students will pitch ideas and demo prototypes that they built over the past week.

@CreatingJas Why not partner with someone who is already doing lights and get a rec share? Or just replicate the local newsletter into another market. Local service business is going to be way harder than any internet business

Update: the business I’ll be starting using my local newsletter is… Christmas Lights! So if you know anyone that does Christmas Lights in a snowy area. Please let me know! Really appreciate all the help and looking forward to documenting my journey.

@TKopelman @AllStWealth Congrats on the continued success!

One of my favorite things to do is look back on the growth of @AllStWealth We just wrapped up our first 3 months of billing of 2025, and it is wild to see the progress made: - Q1 2022 = $21,732 - Q1 2023 = $51,455 - Q1 2024 = $123,485 - Q1 2025 = $307,851 The goal was to hit $1mil in revenue this year But we are currently on track for well over $1,200,000 if we add no more clients (this won't happen as we already have our next 15 clients signed) This means we will probably end up closer to $1,500,000-$1,700,000 With an 80% profit margin In the 4th year of being an RIA Building a business is fun

I've been fortunate to have both Burst Capital, Canvas Ventures & Mike Ghaffary as investors in NuBrakes and can confidently say from first-hand experience, these folks rolls up their sleeves, unwaveringly support, and they are the call you want to make when things are most hard. Geoff Donaker Mike Ghaffary and team have been instrumental in helping us continue to grow NuBrakes. Congrats on joining forces!

@SievaKozinsky @bendopfner & @getvesto are an awesome product - highly recommend!

@ankurnagpal Happy customer over here! My wife and I both have a 401K setup

Feels like 2024 was the first year the Carry.com business started fully working ARR hit $1.5M ($350K last year) Assets well over $70M+ ($11M last year) Meanwhile, headcount only increased by 5 and we virtually broke even in December on a cash basis!

Congrats to @bling0 @kylelui @charliepinto and the team at Bling on Fund IV. Bling has been a huge supporter of @nubrakes and any founder is better with Bling in your corner. Onwards!

@JohnKoelliker @ForerunnerVC @WarbyParker @Chime @glossier @ouraring @faire_wholesale @Zola Congrats John! Excited for you and the team!

Announcing Leland's $12M Series A led by @ForerunnerVC! Forerunner has an incredible track record of backing iconic consumer brands and marketplaces like @WarbyParker, @Chime, @glossier, @ouraring, @faire_wholesale, @Zola, and others. We couldn't be more excited to welcome @eurie_kim to the board and partner with her and Forerunner to take Leland to the next level. Also participating in the round are @gsvventures, inVest Ventures, and our early investors like @FjLabs, @contrary, @PetersonVenture, and @GSBackers. We’re also proud that dozens of Leland coaches and customers participated, in addition to leading marketplace founders, operators, and angels from companies like Instacart, Handshake, LinkedIn, Pluralsight, Mercado Libre, and others. With this fresh capital and support, we're well positioned to accelerate our vision of unlocking human potential by making the world's expertise more accessible. In the past year alone, our coaches have helped hundreds of thousands of people in over 70 countries break into top schools or companies, develop new skills, prepare for interviews or tests, and pursue goals across dozens of unique categories. While a fundraise is never a destination, it certainly represents an opportunity to reflect on the progress we’ve made and thank the community who has helped us get this far. So, THANK YOU! We know the biggest opportunity is ahead of us, and we’re excited to be building a world-class team to go after it. If you want to join us, we're hiring. if you want to partner with us, shoot me a DM. And if you are interested in working with a coach or coaching the next generation, we'd love to have you in our community.

@anothercohen Congrats Alex! 👊

I know my shitposting has suffered lately but I'm excited to share that I'm back in the arena! Today we're launching Hello Patient out of stealth with our $6.3m seed round from 8VC, Bling Capital, and Max Ventures to bring gen AI phone agents to healthcare.

@zack_holland @averi_ai Congrats on the launch! A lot of hard work into this!

BIG news: after nearly a year in stealth, @averi_ai is live on Product Hunt! 🚀 If you've ever been frustrated with the time you're spending on operational nonsense trying to run marketing programs, this is for you. Design strategy, create content, build perfect-fit teams. Would greatly appreciate the launch support: producthunt.com/posts/averi

@KrissBergTweets Highly recommend Balcones Retreat, it would be perfect for this
