@_eth0n pu to the series office

nyc is so sick definitely feels like the hub for consumer apps right now founders are literally everywhere like literally if you just build cool stuff tweet about it + post videos meet up with awesome people i don’t think its possible to lose

Random reminder that you never know who’s watching.

The fact I can't go anywhere without seeing Bhavitha Mandava proves the Indian audience is underserved but powerful.

marketing update: ugc works. influencers work. ads work. doing everything doesn't. I wasted so much time trying to diversify funnels when exponential returns start at doubling down on where you have information asymmetry. Don't be a dumbass like me. Do what works.

@mkliku Bro😭

if it was easy it would be called easyvelopment not development

@JayChopra_ I 100% fell for this ragebait

No distractions when it comes to building a startup. That means no alcohol. Poured nearly 20 beers and 2 litres of vodka down the drain. If you’re drinking ur ngmi.

@CalBlockchain @nemild @x402Foundation Holy why does Berkeley blockchain have so many followers😭

Here's what's new with x402: We just had the great pleasure of hosting Nemil Dalal @nemild! We want to share this podcast so you can learn as much as we did about @x402Foundation🔥 the funny t-shirt link mentioned: shirt.sh

@AnmolShips @UMich Tried - not everyone is happy abt it tho

On the brink of failing this semester at @UMich At the start of year, we told the startup world we value staying in school - but right now it feels like school doesn’t give the same support to students trying to do more than the bare minimum.

after studying (and making) consumer apps for the past 6 months i have come to the conclusion that the ABSOLUTE best way to build a successful consumer app in 2025 is to FIRST become an influencer and THEN build an app. everyone knows how amazing influencer marketing is for distribution but influencers nowadays are extremely expensive and not to mention a major headache to work with for the most part becoming the influencer (or doing a equity / rev share partnership with one) completely solves those issues extremely bullish on anyone that is in the trenches making founder led ugc content

@KlausCodes @UMich I just know if I leave it’s impossible to come back.

@acegotchuu @UMich Been there, I took a semester off to work on my startup, that’s the best way to do it imo

You have to drop ATLEAST 100k on your first launch video. Name one memorable launch in the last 6 months that didn’t cost high five figures. You can’t. Attention is expensive now. A cheap launch doesn’t save money - it kills momentum.

UPDATE: This was our highest converting video since the Series Launch Video.

Is it me or has startup marketing quite recently? I’ve been seeing all the News abt big companies raising and big milestones being hit but where are the new guys?

SF is the past. NY is the future.

How can everyone be number 1 in the App Store😭
