Hey X! Not really sure how to start posting, so here's an intro. I'm Kaya, and I do GTM at @usecorgi. I'm new to tech, which means I'm constantly learning, asking questions, and trying new things. This account is where I'll share: → What I'm learning at Corgi → GTM experiments that work (and don't) → Startup life → AI and building If you're building, selling, or just figuring things out too, let's connect.

POV: you're in SF during a once-in-a-generation shift in technology. You just graduated, or you came out for the summer. AI billboards everywhere, models getting smarter every week, equal parts exciting and daunting. And somewhere this summer, you meet your future friends and cofounders. We're bringing them together for a night in SF with @sequoia. You'll be in the room with some of the founders defining this moment too. July 30th. Invite only. DM me for an invite.

Felt good to swing the club this weekend. Any tech folks want to talk @UseCorgi and AI for 4.5 hours on the course? Do people in tech even like golf?😭

To join @UseCorgi after its unicorn round, I need to believe it can go from a $2.6B valuation to many hundreds of billions. Today I shared why with a few colleagues. It may be useful for anyone considering a later-stage startup. First, the market must be large enough and the product disruptive enough. For Corgi, that is obvious once you understand insurance. This is not the hard part. The harder part is avoiding the two patterns that cause unicorns to waste their opportunity. 1. Founders start living post-economic Everyone has seen it. A founder hits unicorn status and starts optimizing for the lifestyle. Luxury purchases, houses, cars, parties, and social circles built around wealth. The hunger fades. That is not happening at Corgi. @nico_laqua still sleeps in the office. He and @emily_yuan_ are constantly there, leading from the front. They are not slowing down or losing focus. They are in their mid-twenties, and it feels like they are barely in the second inning of what they will accomplish. 2. The company hires for polished resumes These are people who focus more on appearances than output. They communicate well, check boxes, and create the appearance of progress. They are B-players who hire C-players. Hire enough of them and the company is finished. The best people are usually not updating LinkedIn or applying to every new unicorn. Opportunities come to them. Great companies hire through their strongest networks or find undiscovered talent. Do not build a company around recruiters and resume screens. Corgi is a motley crew of unusually talented people. Most are so young they have barely had time to build a resume. Our sales intern has a 2200 chess rating. One of the early developers is a 19-year-old who was a hibachi chef. Last month’s top sales closer started as a UX designer. The last two have Corgi tattoos. A conventional middle-manager type would not last a week here. That is a feature, not a bug. I did not apply to Corgi or any other job. I only wanted to work at Corgi. I made a phone call and showed up. That is not a brag. Variations of that story are common across the company. That is why I believe Corgi still has an extraordinary amount of upside left. The market is massive, but the real advantage is the people. The founders are still hungry, and the company is still built around unusual people who can do exceptional work.

i don't understand how we look at partying/going out and being well read to be contradictory, i would suppose they go quite well together good thinking is rarely prudent, and i imagine the best of thinking to emerge from a joyous, well lived life that includes music and dancing

What are the best cafes/coworking spots in SF to lock in at? Ideally near Nob Hill.
