BUILD THE WHOLE PRODUCT If you're a startup CEO, you should think deeply about what Frank Slootman says : "Build the Whole Product, or solve the Whole Problem as fast as you can". In 2026, the biggest winners will be companies who realize that fragmented experiences don't serve the customer well, and will solve the entire end to end problem for their customer. Customers are tired of stitching together five tools that each do 80% of what they need. They want one solution that does 100% of what they need. Fearless, visionary entrepreneurs will build a whole solution for their customer segment, even if it means that solution has to compete across multiple categories, including with entrenched incumbents. Now this doesn't mean they will solve the whole problem for EVERYONE from day one. They will choose very specific customer segments (size, geography, vertical, behavior, etc) and solve the entire problem for that segment, and do it 10x better than the customer could do by cobbling together several systems. And then they will expand concentrically from that initial segment. One of the best examples is Square, which took on decades-old incumbents in payment processing, hardware terminals and POS, and built a hardware + software system that solved the entire problem for micromerchants. Not just software, but also custom hardware that the team built from scratch, despite having zero hardware experience. Why? Because hardware was critical to deliver the whole solution. By doing so, they "compressed" the value chain across 3 industries, and instead of the customer needing to feed 3 profit pools for payments, hardware and POS, they only needed to pay one company, leading to a much lower Total Cost of Ownership. If you're an entrepreneur tackling a WHOLE problem and building a WHOLE product, please ping me. I'd love to connect and chat.





nailed it. and captured why exactly vibes are so bad. crypto people didn't want to compete with the real world. they were tricked by the subsidy provided by a neverending rising tide that made crypto apps easy to monetize even without pmf. that subsidy is going away, so they're upset. now they have to beat web2 guys. and that's hard and not that sexy.


trimming some of my $drv here into $aero, will continue to do this if DRV overperforms










We’re doubling down on @Solana. Coinbase is acquiring @VECTORDOTFUN, an onchain trading platform built on Solana, whose tech will plug directly into Coinbase to help better serve one of crypto’s most active ecosystems.
