@jeffreyhuber 🤠

@daltonc dalton you have to stop innovating in venture capital - youre leaving the rest of the market way behind!

A message for recent YC founders

@jedwhite Thanks @paultoo used to offer “100B office hours” back in the day and we are glad to bring it back!

@daltonc Bringing group office hours to post-batch seed companies is a really neat idea. I think most founders miss it a lot post YC. Doing it for Series A was a great idea. Taking it even earlier to seed stage is very cool.

Super interesting innovation in Seed stage investing from Standard Capital

@sahil_seth9 Fair question, S26 hasn’t actually started but some folks are accepted?

Announcing fully autonomous AI agents for internal tasks. Hire a general AI agent for IT, compliance, and procurement. Starting at $5/hour. See use cases below.

Today, I'm thrilled to disclose Voker’s $2.2M in pre-seed funding from @ycombinator and @FundersClub. I’ve watched product teams ship AI agents with zero visibility into whether they're actually working. Logs don't tell you if your agent is helping users. You can't review 10,000 conversations manually. And metrics don't appear on their own. That's why we built Voker.

@stalmico @mwseibel everything that wasnt part of the core value prop that explains 1) why someone would want to sign up and 2) what value they would immediately get from signing up

@daltonc @mwseibel so which features did you cut first

In our latest video @mwseibel and I revisit classic startup advice around building an MVP and update it for the AI coding era. A good MVP is just as much about what *not* to build as it is what *to* build.

@StandardDB @ashbyhq 👀

New offer from @ashbyhq just went live on StandardDB

It's hard to believe you are prepared for a problem you haven't spent any time considering could be a problem

It’s possible to get so deeply embedded in optimizing for the wrong thing that one is completely unaware they are doing it. It’s like the fish saying “What the hell is water?”

Trigger is growing faster the bigger it gets via a combination of their existing customers growing + the product rapidly improving which attracts new customers and usecases♻️

@PaulYacoubian @Peter_Soida yes

@Peter_Soida @daltonc adding constraints 😂

Removing constraints rarely makes decision making easier.
