been thinking a lot about what the perfect startup soundtrack actually sounds like. we've leaned heavily on synthwave but i'm starting to feel a pull toward melodic house. retro synth still holds up. but the sound of ambition is evolving.

The internet used to be personal. Then we lost that. @zocomputer is building it back — a personal cloud with AI built in for everyone.

Join our next customer dinner!

The best part of this job is getting to serve our customers. This week we hosted our biggest customer dinner yet at Crane Club in NYC. Grateful to have teams like @BiltRewards, @pikkitsports, @zocomputer, @FonziAI, @pika_labs, Loyalist, 222, and more building on Linq. Want to join the next one? Sign up at the link below

@elliott__potter @pika_labs FaceTime is never gonna be the same. The future is literally calling!

FaceTime video support for AI agents through Linq’s API is now in early preview. Your AI assistant, personal trainer, or therapist - available to users through native apps like FaceTime and iMessage. Existing customers like @pika_labs are already building on it. No new apps needed 📈

up and to the right 📈📈📈 🫶

When @interaction started building, they decided to treat messaging as their first-party UI and became one of our early customers. Take a look behind the scenes at the team and origin behind Poke.

@elliott__potter @thelinqapp Let’s goo! 🚀

We’ve raised $27M for this moment: starting today, your agent gets an iPhone and can talk like a friend. Texting is the universal interface. Billions of people text every day, but until now, developers have been restricted from building on the most powerful channel to ever exist. Linq is a single API for iMessage, RCS, SMS, voice, and even FaceTime and Find My. Nothing for users to download. Nothing new to learn. We’re already powering @interaction, @pika_labs, @getlindy, @zocomputer, @joindimension, Tomo (and others we can’t name just yet) to bring this new ecosystem to life. Join them, and start building for free in our sandbox, linked below. Or comment and we’ll get you set up.

We just hosted our first customer dinner in SF. Couldn't be more grateful to have the biggest in the game building on our platform. If you'd like an invite to the next one, drop a comment ⬇️

Being a part of this process has been insane, but I’m glad we’ve got @alexpathoo making sure the entire @thelinqapp journey is documented. Keep an eye out for my scenes in the eventual “The Office” style documentary cut youtu.be/1CgAvTHHeMQ?si…

Most fundraising stories you see are polished pitch decks and wins. But the reality? 24/7 grinding, balancing vc pitches with customer meetings, and constantly questioning if you're making the right calls. I spent time with the Linq founders in SF documenting the pressure of a Series A. Part 1 is live. If you want to see what real startup hustle looks like, check it out. youtu.be/1CgAvTHHeMQ?si…

that moment when you're editing and suddenly everything just clicks... there's nothing like it.

the gap between what you imagine and what you create gets smaller every day

Real creative work happens in the constraints

The last two weeks of my travels taught me the best camera setup is the one you can deploy in under 10 seconds.

@mentality let’s run it soon..! 🖤
