@BPindulic What type of sales are they doing? May have a referral but depends on the product and who they sell to IE - high ticket vs enterprise vs SMB etc

We’re generating 5+ meetings a day for spacebar studios. Often more. I am still taking all the sales calls and purposefully limiting how many slots we open per day. Who is good at sourcing / training sales talent? I’m looking to build a repeatable motion. The demand is there.

@VidaliGiorgio No way

Airtable this is hour 7. How can a glorified tabular data sheet be down for so long.

Don’t share your goals online You will feel the dopamine hit of doing it from sharing it and be less likely to do it Just do the thing

Salesforce will never go after Al for Somalian healthcare But these companies are doing $1b in EBIDTA with no employees and no customers, begging for Al Niche down harder

Rolling up Somalian healthcare companies Need $20m for 5%

@devahaz If you got the dog in you, you got the dog in you

Most of my friends who continued partying through their 20s are successful tech and finance professionals in top 1% of wealth and income

@DWeisburd Alex is a BEAST

BREAKING: Most LPs think their only option for liquidity is selling their position. But what if you could borrow instead of sell? That’s exactly what Alex Simpson and his team at LiquidLP are building — NAV-based lending that lets investors unlock capital without losing their upside. Think: • 20–40% LTV against top funds like Sequoia or Andreessen • High-single to low-teens rates depending on portfolio quality • Weeks (not months) from application to funding • Fully bespoke terms for family offices, GPs, and smaller institutions It’s the next evolution of secondaries — discreet, efficient, and aligned with conviction-driven investors. We broke down: - When a NAV loan beats a secondary - How to diligence illiquid portfolios fast - Why purpose of funds matters more than people think - The “standby liquidity” model reshaping fundraising #PrivateMarkets #Liquidity #AlternativeInvesting #HowIInvest #Secondaries Link to Podcast in Comments Below 👇

@bryce Yep.

So many founders killing themselves to try and get their investors a return on company they’ve already written off internally...

I do not get these people who sell apps for like $1k You do not make it with $1k wins. If you spend all this time building a product that has legs actually grow it to something meaningful Don’t be afraid

@FelixBrucey @seraleev What does it do? What’s gross margin? Churn? Retention ?

@seraleev That’s great news! So around a 3x multiple on ARR? Our app sits around $5k MRR ($60k ARR) and would be looking to exit at some point. Where are the buyers with $180-240k?

Yesterday I sold another app – Tovoice for $2,500 It was making around $80/month, but it hasn’t been part of my long-term plans for a while, so I decided to let it go P.S. I’m not planning to sell any of my other apps 😅

@JaySahnan Could not agree more, distribution is hands down the most important thing in business, and most founders who think they're doing it are scratching the surface

If you want to become a founder, you should become a GTM or growth engineer first.

@RafaelWeissCRE Great read from Airbnb founder on startups and loneliness

Building Sytes is the loneliest thing I've ever done... And the most exhilarating 11pm. My cofounder (@deansloves_ ) texts: "You still up?" Of course I'm up...when you're building something that challenges an entire industry, sleep becomes optional. Here's what they DON'T tell you about disrupting commercial real estate: Every "no" from a skeptical broker feels personal. Every tenant who doesn't understand why they'd post their requirements so they can get more deals done makes you question everything. Every developer/landlord who says "we've always done it this way" chips away at your conviction. But then... @ChurchsChicken approves 4 sites in 48 HOURS using Sytes. A developer in Texas finds 3 tenants for a dead corner he's been sitting on for 18 months. Your phone blows up at 11AM because @DutchBros just got sent 50 perfect sites they never knew existed. Matt Mehring letting me know @Moes_HQ Southwest Grill just signed a lease because of Sytes. Thats why I don't stop...because slowly but surely, we are winning. Here's the thing about trying to build something in CRE: You're not just disrupting software. You're challenging relationships built over decades. Rolodexes worth millions. An entire system designed to keep information locked up. Some days I feel like I'm trying to teach the real estate world that the earth isn't flat. And you know what? I LOVE IT. Because when a tenant tells me they found their dream site in a market they'd given up on... When a developer closes a deal with a tenant they didn't even know was looking... When our AI saves a broker 20 hours of manual work in a single week... That's when I know every sleepless night is worth it. The truth? Building Sytes isn't about the technology. It's about proving that an abundance mentality will always triumph over a scarcity mentality. That transparency beats gatekeeping. That the future of CRE is wide open, not locked behind closed doors. I want to look back in 10 years and know we didn't just talk about fixing CRE's information problem and that WE ACTUALLY DID IT.

A strategic partner who has scaled agencies to Multi millions in monthly EBIDTA (and exited) offered to buy a piece of my dev/AI agency and run all marketing and distribution Would you do it?

We’re at $350k ARR on a bootstrapped software product with $0 spent on paid ads. I expect us to be at $1m ARR very soon. Another project just broke $500k ARR with $2m ARR in contracts out to close Should we break down how we do it, end to end?

Company that’s constantly flexing their nearly 9 figure Series A lied about their ARR to investors and is probably going to get sued or have to return capital Be careful out there and do your DD

@rrhoover Companies like Dutch Bros, Kimco and hundreds more get deals done 80% faster

sytescre.com Inverse Crexi/Loopnet. Tenants post where they need to open new locations. Landlords and developers can do deals with that data Automated review and filtering of sites sent to tenants with AI, including finding missing data to evaluate the deal. Also power one click submit deals to brands at conferences with same workflow benefits

My favorite vertical AI startups: • Create a 10x workflow that feeds into a marketplace moat • Increase TAM by making something financially viable for new markets
