Some learnings from growing Country Bean as a profitable, bootstrapped DTC coffee brand from 0 to 2,50,000 customers. A thread:

Founders who never give up will ultimately win. Hats off @harshjain85

Bengal has the talent density of Bangalore, the culture of nowhere else, and a cost of living that makes building here a cheat code. The infrastructure story is just beginning to catch up.

@swapan55 Dear Sir, as a fellow Martinian, wanted to congratulate you on your victory! Proud to be a citizen of Kolkata today.

Bengal's best days are ahead.

I'm not a developer. I have an algo trading bot live on NSE, an iOS calorie app in TestFlight, and a content pipeline running on autopilot. Two years ago none of this would have been possible solo. The bottleneck isn't building anymore. It's deciding what to build.

AI is great. But if you don't understand what you are building, you can't scale it.

As a power user of Claude, I'm convinced that Anthropic will be the world's most valuable company in under 2 years.

I shipped more usable software in the last 6 months than in the previous 6 years. Same brain. Same hours. Different tools. This is what people actually mean when they say AI is leverage. Not money. Not output. Time.

Most people I know are spending hours switching between AI tools trying to figure out which one is the best. Just choose Claude and master it. It will put you way ahead of the curve.

@nikhilkamathcio Amazing. Constantly crushing it with S-tier guests!

Howard Marks runs Oaktree, a $120 billion+ firm built on distressed debt, has been writing the memos Warren Buffett opens first for over thirty years, and just changed his mind on AI after a single conversation with Claude — we got into where the $10 bill nobody has picked up is hiding right now, why he picked debt over equity for an entire career, and why the herd is almost always wrong. Full episode drops soon. @Oaktree

We build apps and AI agents from idea to launch in 7 days. If you've got an idea sitting in your head — DM us. Let's build it.

7/ Speed is your only real advantage as a solo builder. Big companies take 6 months to ship what you can ship in 7 days. Don't waste that advantage by overthinking.

I've spent the last year building AI apps from scratch. A calorie tracker. A trading bot. A real estate sales agent. 7 honest lessons from the trenches 🧵
