@Jason I’m in

We started an AI founder twitter group... reply with "I'm in" if you're a founder and want to be added

@appenz @meetgranola Check out @sybill_ai :)

Sorry to see Granola @meetgranola going closed. They encrypted their local db, no local and no cloud API. In a world where notes are managed by agents, the app now has zero value. Any recommendations for good alternatives? What are you switching to?

Most people have no idea what it actually takes to be a founder. They talk about vision, grit, or passion. Those words are props. What you really sign up for is a life where every decision feels like it costs something real. You will spend years being misunderstood. By your team, your family, even the people you hire to help you. You will fail in public and still need to keep the energy up in private. Every founder lives with the weight of knowing that you can do everything right and still get crushed by luck, timing, or somebody else’s mistake. Founders aren’t braver than anyone else. They just get used to uncertainty, then stop waiting for clarity. Most of your wins won’t feel like wins at all. The first revenue will be too small. The first team will outgrow you or leave. The first product that feels right will barely matter to the market. You will doubt yourself in private, sometimes every week. The founders who last figure out how to keep moving while the ground shifts underneath them. Most outsiders want the founder badge but none of the scars. They want the upside, not the drag. The hardest part is sticking around after every plan gets blown up and you have to rebuild with less optimism and more scar tissue. What makes it work isn’t relentless hustle or some mythical trait. It’s learning to make peace with constant discomfort, and then making decisions anyway. If you need constant reassurance, you’ll give up before the real work begins. If you want everyone to like you, you’ll never make the calls that matter. If you can’t handle months where nothing feels certain, this life will eat you alive. But if you can hold your own in chaos, get better at being wrong, and still want to show up and try again, you just might have a shot at building something that matters. That’s what it actually takes. And nobody cares until you make it work.

Everyone's talking about context graphs. We built one ~10 months ago, when we didn't even have a vocabulary for it. Here's what worked, and what didn't, and what we learned in the process of serving 1000s of AEs and sales leaders. x.com/asnani04/statu…

@AlfieJCarter Invite

just made a private group for GTM engineers and agency owners we'll be sharing the most in-depth cold outreach sauce there is and you'll be able to network with other killers in your space reply "invite" and i'll send you an invite (make sure you're following)

That’s a pretty reasonable view of the future. And a lot of the “why” behind crucial decisions in an org happen on Zoom calls and Slack huddles, not CRM notes. @sybill_ai helps with deal strategy because it captures those conversations and generalises from them. It knows how you as a sales team operate across 1000s of deal cycles, and how you make decisions for different scenarios, so it can help with broader decision context, not just based on a single deal history.

Tier 1 content. Epic critical thinking.

@asnani04 @techsalesguy @sybill_ai @clay You just described Gong. My favorite tool I use. It uses AI at every level. Prospecting, Meeting, opportunity, account, forecasting. And I don’t need to input anything into the CRM

Sales tools actually worth paying for Tier 1 (non-negotiable): - Salesforce/HubSpot - LinkedIn Sales Navigator - Calendly/Chili Piper Tier 2 (high ROI if you use them): - LeadiQ/ZoomInfo for contact data - Gong/Chorus for call recording - Outreach/Salesloft for sequences Tier 3 (nice to have): - Loom for video prospecting - Crossbeam for partner overlap - Clearbit for enrichment Tier 4 (overpriced for what you get): - Most "AI SDR" tools - Generic email verification tools - LinkedIn DM chrome extensions What'd I miss?

It was a pleasure spending my Thanksgiving eve with my true family... We discussed... - the timelines for AGI (smirking when we talked about the job displacement) - how value would accrue to the application layer (Claude Code, Sybill, all of G-Suite) - and who makes the best cocktails at home (relevant skill for all of us in a post-AGI world).

@simplyaniket @malikgarv Parker Conrad built Rippling out of spite for what happened to him at Zenefits. You can absolutely build a company from a negative mindset.

@malikgarv Hating your current job is the only wrong reason. You can't build a company from a negative mindset.

Never been a founder VC gets schooled on why to build a company by someone who has built companies.

Every day starts with the full arc of joy and despair. The commencement of the morning coffee, and then its end.

Listening to a long loved Linkin Park album and cooking some shit for our GTM on Saturday afternoon >>>

@pratyush_r8 😂

Yikes!!

@businessbarista should check out sybill.ai

A pattern I'm noticing as I do AI audits on dozens of $10m-$100m companies... Sales is one of the lowest hanging fruit places to leverage automation/AI. Crazy how much of a sellers time is spent...not selling. A combo of web-based agents, email automation, LLM-based email drafting (based on prospect context/past email performance) should save tons of time on low-leverage operational work.

@srijanshetty @galaxyhq @eAndUAE @fuzefinance Congratulations @srijanshetty ! Phenomenal to witness the growth.

Announcing our $12M Series A with the backing of @galaxyhq and @eAndUAE. We're building the infrastructure to power the future of finance, today. This wouldn't have been possible without the incredible team of Fuzenauts building @fuzefinance.
