being a founder is weird because everything will be normal and then someone will randomly dress up like alexander hamilton and start rapping about your company

There are maybe 5 great looking filming locations for rent in San Francisco. This is one of them. I constantly see it in videos (and I rented it once). It’s called “Creative SOMA Loft - Off-site Space” and it’s sort of expensive $300/hr (4hr minimum). It looks great due to the variety of textures (soft wood ceiling, stone wall, light hardwood floor) and well-distributed exposure throughout. We need to do better at production design for startups.

I spent 8 years scaling Discord and got burnt out cause modern work is broken. We’re overwhelmed with too much info across apps, teams, and agents. AI made it worse. We’re building the solve. I've joined @tryhighlight as CEO and we raised a $40M Series A led by @KhoslaVentures.

For 2 years my friends have been working on turning a $500 beater 1990 Honda Accord into a racecar This weekend, they're competing in a race called 24 Hours of Lemons, a parody of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Just some average joe-schmos who dress up in funny costumes, decorate their cars, and try to get the best lap time while hoping their car doesn't blow up (dw there's a lot of fire extinguishers on site) I watched their team, MagiCARp Motors, push their Gyarados themed Accord to the limit, doing most of the track at 70 mph in a car older than everyone on the team The event is electric. 60 of us gathered under their canopies to observe them monitoring the situation of the race through a homemade Claude Code telemetry setup. They were streaming the driver's pov on twitch next to our friends DJing and learning to drive stick on a racing sim they brought from home. It's a nutty amount of effort to put into something. There's really no point other than fun, but everyone's so committed to the bit. Our team's car is GEARados, but there was one that looked like a cop car, a bee car, and my fave: the emotional support vehicle. It's actually a one of a kind thing to be a part of. Most teams have sponsors to fund them, but so far my homies have done everything out of pocket. Funds often have special access to sporting games, but that's so unoriginal at this point. Imagine taking someone you're trying to woo to a Lemons race instead and getting to meet the MagiCARp motors teams instead. If you're a startup I can't see a better way to close a potential hire. But for real, if you're interested in supporting this awesome team, DM me for more info and we can work something out. A million tech people are involved in races like this - we ran into folks from every big AI lab and founders from all over this weekend, I'm sure getting your logo on the car would be ROI positive.

Today was my last day at @WisprFlow. Over the last 3 months, I wrote over 30 posts averaging 200K+ impressions and grew the account to 25K+ followers. As content becomes increasingly beneficial, engineering the science behind virality was incredibly exciting. I'm becoming exponentially more passionate about the future of new media, cinematography, and creating new mediums of storytelling. Excited for what's next 🚀 *and yes, i wrote this post too :) ⤵️*

“Heat-seeking missiles for pain. That is the perfect definition of people who really succeed at startups.” @Keller is the CEO and co-founder of @Zipline, the world's largest commercial autonomous delivery system. Back in 2011, he set out to solve the un-fancy, real-world problem of transporting life-saving medicines to people who need it. To do it, he’s enlisted builders who are willing to “crack some eggs.” On In Depth, he sits down with @brettberson to share why building hardware is 10X harder than you’d think. He shares: -Why Zipline had a 1% chance of working -The blood drone delivery launch in Rwanda that was near-catastrophic -What it took to scale to 5,000 hospitals -How he hires at Zipline, from execs who aren't above "plunging the toilets" to teenagers who’ve built submarines and robots in their garage -Why the most important companies of the next 10 years will be hardware

for the love of god the best way to get high quality interactions on your launch post is to simply be a great human being and be good to your friends or pay a bunch of people and disclose that you did. the amount of dms even moderately high follower accounts get asking for free engagement is insane this year and it's getting worse. i get it from people i have never met and when i don't respond i get follow ups (i am very important). like bro at least ask how i'm doing
