At Wish, we were by far the most efficient big spender on FB & Google (spending $100's-of-millions per year on each). We achieved this BECAUSE we ignored all "best practices", personal taste, & silicon valley opinions. Because, not in spite. Thanks for sharing @lennysan

@lennysan @mattjayson this is the context

@mattjayson Incredible. How can I help? Im glad I saw this.

I did something I never thought I'd do. I started a podcast. And it's actually really fun. I'm lucky and get to meet lots of incredible people as a startup CEO. But I'm usually in business mode. B2B marketers come to us for help growing faster, so we get right to work to help them do just that. But a lot of my favorite talks are unstructured, they're funny, they're weird, they're full of stories. They just don't fit into the regular work day. Unless you make time. And when you do, it's the best. We call the podcast Demand Gen 🔥. I talk with marketing, demand gen, growth & GTM badasses of all kinds - as they experiment with new ways to grow demand and turn their companies into 🚀s. Special shoutout to @jasonkarsh for being patient #1. I've always loved how Jason thinks about marketing and how he's been wildly brave in taking bets on the crypto space since early days. He's also one of the most articulate people. In Ep 1, he opens up about how - at the height of the Crypto Boom - he inked a huge deal to sponsor the @dallascowboys - plus @bitkey, Proto, and much more. I'm all in to shine the spotlight on great people, who work hard and think differently. We've already recorded a bunch of great episodes and they're soon to follow. I'm definitely no good at editing these quite yet, but having fun trying. PS My buddy @Youshaei is one of the world's greatest content creators and will probably be the most shocked to read this!

@noahkagan "professional-voice" 360. Nothing wrong with that.

Hot take - LinkedIn is for nice people. Not saying that's always best but the community here shocks me with how critical they are of... everything. Garry Tan makes some skills and instead of talking about it, people just bash it. Company launches some CMO AI thing - all posts I saw were shitting all over it. Meanwhile on LinkedIn the comments and replies are all surprisingly encouraging.

@___4o____ Turn any chat into an acquisition

The way tech bros approach the finance industry is so hilarious. None of them will even get close to comparing to a serious financial (technology) firm. Especially not with a name like that.

We spent 4 years building a payments network for the new internet. Entrepreneurs now earn $3.3B annually on Whop. Millions of people are clipping, labeling data, deploying agents, and starting businesses to get paid. Today we're opening Whop Payments Network to everyone.

@darkroomagency_ @rishabhmjain @fermatcommerce 🤣 Facts

Founders don’t need more investor meetings. They need the right metrics and the right 5 investors. @rishabhmjain (CEO @fermatcommerce) explains why saying no is often your strongest fundraising signal.

@Clara_Gold It was a bad place. Low learning culture if you had considered a text as a failure The should push the pace

The easiest job in tech is Head of Growth at a consumer company with PMF. I did it at Rappi and thought I was a genius. Everything you try works. Tweak onboarding → conversion jumps. Unlock referrals → growth explodes. Turn on paid → infinite scale. And if something fails… it was an “experiment.” But that’s a fallacy. It’s like losing weight on GLP-1 and thinking you mastered discipline. Because when you become a founder, you realize the only hard growth problem is building a product people actually want. I’m a growth person, but I have infinitely more admiration for 0→1 product people than 1→100 growth people.

@Clara_Gold Or I’ll join you on then next one, and go into far sides of the universe on paid spend

@Clara_Gold How was it easy but they didn’t dominate the world? infinite scale is still infinite?

@daniel_dhawan It’s part-of finding your fit. That wasn’t it. Should consume you with problems to solve

If you have a growth problem, you have a product problem

@houmanasefi you have a lot of great info and comments on your page. Solid find

People think the AI race is about models. But the power layers are: Compute Energy Infrastructure Institutions Applications get attention. Infrastructure captures the power. This is the map I’m building.

What if a think tank had only one human… and the rest were AI agents? I’m testing this with the "Institute for AI Economics". Instead of a traditional research institute: • One human sets the thesis • AI agents track signals across labs, policy, and markets • Other agents synthesize research and draft memos • Output becomes briefings on the AI power structure The question: Can one operator + agents produce the research output of a small think tank? If AI changes how knowledge institutions work… it may also change who understands the AI economy first. That’s what I’m studying.

@houmanasefi @noahkagan yes. i did.

@climon @noahkagan You’re describing a norm. It’s actually incentive engineering. Denials are just liquidity ...

50% of the people here are LYING about how they use AI and the other 50% aren't talking about it.

@houmanasefi @noahkagan Yes. I said that. In some trading circles: an accusation is assumed false until "officially denied"

@climon @noahkagan You’re noticing messaging asymmetry. Silence signals success. Noise signals narrative management.

@haoxingdu mutation

I keep thinking about this point. evolution's task is SO much harder: make human from chimp but only allowed to change 5% of the genome, by "I guess I will try 1 of the 3 other options for this base pair and see what happens" is extremely different from gradient descent, no?

@ashebytes Unreasonable is the goal. moarn the areas we left to reason

why else are we here if not to live with unreasonable passion for things

@alexia @moltbook lol

LinkedIn is like @moltbook except the bots have humans post for them.

@ashebytes @Yuchenj_UW needs replicators. and mutation. now it's good.

@Yuchenj_UW entropy always finds a way variance/randomness = creation

Some people at frontier AI labs told me they believe startups are over. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI will absorb every industry as AGI nears. Coding today, science, medicine, and finance next. Then everything else. If they’re right, that’s a pretty boring end of the world.

@Yuchenj_UW OpenAI gave up on consumer already...

@lulumeservey thnk god for SEC filings.

If you want to win someone over (recruit, sales prospect, investor etc) Convince them you belong to the same group, and the rest takes care of itself In-group preference is one of the most powerful forces in human behavior People will funnel resources to members of their group, even if it means everyone gets less in absolute terms Other perks for group members: - actions are judged more moral - persuasion is more effective - memories of events are distorted in their favor (!) - attacks actually strengthen cohesion and loyalty Group belonging is so strong that it can even be triggered arbitrarily. People assigned to a group *at random* will still favor members of their group in these ways
