@dr_chrisjones @hyperspell happy to chat, what are you working on? we are not open source, but we are self-hostable for enterprises
English
@contextconor @hyperspell I need to be doing this. U guys open source?
English
any enterprise can self-host @hyperspell and fully own a company brain with all of their accumulated tacit knowledge
its infrastructure for a brain that you control, instead of giving all of your alpha to the labs and your competition
English
@Josee_Web3 they transformed the seed landscape and made it that much more accessible to everyone
and they also consistently give away a lot of their insights for free
English
@contextconor Yea, yc’s real innovation wasn’t capital, It was reducing friction between founders and starting companies
English
if you raised on a SAFE, didn’t give up a board seat at seed, launched on hacker news, or took advice from a pg essay, you benefited from yc
people forget what venture looked like before them. convertible debt, heavy dilution, founders swapped out for professional ceos. yc dragged the whole ecosystem toward founders, and standard capital is now doing the same to the series a. that lineage runs straight back to yc
yc rejected us multiple times. i still raised on a SAFE and learned from their videos the whole time
people dunk on yc for clout but every single seed founder is raising on rails they built, yc founder or not
English
Wrote an essay for @BusinessInsider on moving from LA to SF to work for @UseCorgi, the cultural differences between the two cities, & why the humanities are becoming increasingly important in the AI era ✍🏼
TLDR: I am happy with my decision and love that they used the pic with my mom as the main photo
English
@firatcand yc has so many externalities for the whole ecosystem, regardless of whether you are a yc founder or not
English
@contextconor this was my experience as well. I think people don't understand how posivetly YC impacted the ecosystem.
we didn't have a lot tech founders in my country. And YC is one of the reasons I did end up moving SF, built a start up, and exited. Even thought I never went through YC.

@LBrennanBurke @DanielleFong every seed stage founder benefits
English
@contextconor @DanielleFong Well said, the whole ecosystem has benefited
English
@HashtagOAF there’s a world where this happens in the future
English
@contextconor Make sure your employees are taking your data and selling it as "simulations" to data aggregators in their off hours.
English
The model is swappable.
Your organization’s tacit knowledge isn’t.
Enterprises that own their learning loop will compound.
The rest are doing R&D for the labs, and ultimately their competitors.

@contextconor Tools can be copied overnight. Organizational learning takes years to build.
English
@RobertDMellish yes, we don’t train models or build agents, and any enterprise can self-host @hyperspell
it’s infrastructure for a company brain that is 100% under your control, that you truly own
English
@contextconor oh, and by the way, Ill sell your company a brain to hold all that knowledge :)
English
@SreeramG exactly. all seed founders are better off because of it
English
@contextconor The best innovations become industry standards.
English
@vaibcode @Standard_Cap @daltonc exactly. the series A right now is high dilution + legally complex + expensive, and can result in founders losing control of board seats
just like the seed round before yc came along
their standardized founder-friendly alternative could push the whole industry forward
English
@daltonc and @Standard_Cap seem like they'll be doing the same with Series A

Everyone keeps telling me the SF dating scene is cooked.
I’ve been here for months and still have no idea.
Between building a startup and founder events, I’ve accidentally optimized my life to only meet engineers.
English
@audrlo @DanielleFong they really transformed the industry for all seed founders
English
@contextconor @DanielleFong i remember reading the safe guide by yc
our first institutional investor asked us to send them a standard yc safe
truly remarkable
English
@rishhul they transformed the seed ecosystem for everyone
