We generated $500K in pipeline with zero ad spend. No paid campaigns. No growth hacks. No viral loops. Just community intelligence. Here's the exact playbook A thread🧵

Dear @IndiGo6E IndiGo, The issue is NOT excess baggage charges. The issue is: ₹1,440 → ₹10,000 → ₹9,000 within minutes for the SAME luggage on flight 6E6043 Hyd → Del. Are baggage policies objective? Or discretionary depending on who catches the passenger? One staff member was helpful. But senior staff turned it into an ego issue. Customers deserve transparent and consistent rules. Also, boarding is almost never on time lately. Really disappointing experience.

Hiring a Founding Engineer for GoAvo.ai Stack: Python / Flask, React / Next.js, databases, cloud, AI-first workflows. Role: full-stack + AI builder. Compensation: competitive. Budget is not a constraint for the right person. Not a ticket-based role. You’ll work directly with us and build core product flows from scratch. If you have built real projects and want to grow into a core product engineering role, send your resume + GitHub/portfolio to support@goavo.ai Subject: Founding Engineer — GoAvo.ai

Everyone talks about long-term ambition. My real 30-year vision: Build great products. Create impact. Stay curious. And somehow have this much hair at 69. 🥹🫶

Founder truth: People notice traction. They rarely notice the invisible labor before it. The stress. The repeated course-correction. The hard calls made with incomplete information. The days you keep showing up without external validation. A lot of building is carrying weight quietly. That counts too.

Proud to share that GoAvo.ai now has multiple patent-pending innovations across event intelligence, including RSVP prediction, audience relevance, and attendance forecasting. Built from real execution. Still early. Still building. #startup #eventintelligence #events #devrel #developerevents #AI #developeradvocacy #patentpending #patentsfiled

After I lost 40 rs to cancellations from backend to @letsblinkit @blinkitcares and their confusing interface and human customer support who keeps repeating the same thing just like automation not even AI 🤣 @ZeptoNow saved me by their awesome feature: request a friend for address And the outcome I sent much better gifts to two folks who really mattered ❤️ Thank you Zepto

3 communities are creating events on @GoAvoAI this week. One crossed 75 RSVPs in 3 hours. Another hit 101 RSVPs in 16 hours. Zero ads.

I built two things. Now the structure is clearer. GoAvo = Event Intelligence OS (platform) DevRelSquad = enterprise execution arm (services) DevRelSquad didn't go anywhere. It now sits under a stronger GoAvo umbrella. Product powers the services. Services never sell the product. goavo.ai | devrelsquad.com @GoAvoAI @devrelsquad_

Every developer event needs 4 things beyond content: A sponsor. A venue. A speaker. And ops that don’t burn out the community leader. Most communities still build all of it from scratch. Every. Single. Time. We just launched something to fix that. 🧵 Introducing the GoAvo Network. Four parts. One platform. Intelligence-matched. Sponsor Network — projected ICP fit + ROI pack after. Venue Network — list once, get repeat bookings + better fill-rate. Speaker Network — get discovered, no more cold DMs. Guild (for community leaders) — earn Pro + ops support by hitting targets. This isn’t a directory where you browse listings and beg for replies. GoAvo actively recommends the right match using event intelligence: topic + city patterns + show-up signals + fit signals. Why we built this: After running 50+ events across 13+ Indian cities through @devrelsquad_ , the #1 pain was: “I spend more time finding sponsors and venues than building my community.” The @GoAvoAI Network is live. Sponsors → apply Venues → list your space Speakers → join Communities → Guild onboarding in batches goavo.ai/network Privacy note: we don’t sell attendee data. Leads are shared only via explicit opt-in. Follow @goavoai for latest updates

A founder wanted funding. No investor replied. So he did something boring: He scheduled 100 coffee meetings with potential users. From those meetings he learned: •Real pain points •Better pricing •One killer feature That feature became his first ₹1 crore revenue. No viral launch. Just consistency. Lesson for today: 👉 Talk to 1 user daily 👉 Improve 1 small feature daily 👉 Share 1 insight publicly daily That’s how startups quietly compound. Build small. Build daily. Build real value. 🌱 #founder #Entrepreneurship #realpain #pmf

How does one feel when they upgrade from community to platform partner :) @GoAvoAI

Al agents will eliminate 80% of manual DevRel ops. What stays: trust, relationships, judgment. What goes: spreadsheets, manual follow-ups, lead sorting.

Big Tech Spending Billions More on AI •Amazon and others are planning hundreds of billions in AI infrastructure, worrying investors about returns. •Alibaba is investing heavily to grow its AI chatbot ecosystem, showing the global AI arms race. Why it matters: AI advantage is shifting from “best model” → best distribution + infrastructure. Action: If you build with AI, focus on: •Real user problems •Distribution channels •Cost-efficient workflows

@shreyacasmalert @Uber Congratulations 🫶

What a ride it’s been at @Uber When I joined, I thought I understood what a high engineering bar meant. Experiencing it here was different. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and you’re constantly having to think on your feet. Things move quickly, and you’re expected to move with them. You can’t hide behind “it works.” You need to understand what you’re building, why you’re building it, and what it could break. That kind of environment forces you to grow up as an engineer. Over time, I became more thoughtful about my decisions and more accountable for the outcomes. I learned to be comfortable with feedback, with ambiguity, and with operating in motion instead of waiting for perfect clarity. A lot of that growth happened over time. Grateful for the teammates who pushed me and held the bar high every day. It was truly a great ride, Uber. 🚗 On to the next destination.

@sciguy True that. Yes we even try to get ROI from our developer events and not only vibes.

@devrelmegha OpenAI’s help doc says ads are in a US test starting Feb 9 for logged-in Free and Go users; paid tiers stay ad free. Monetization is here, so optimize for ROI, not vibes.

OpenAI has begun introducing ads in ChatGPT free tier as part of monetization strategy. Why it matters: AI is moving from cool tech → real business model. Action for you: 👉 Think: How can AI increase revenue or save money in my life/work this week?

Consistency beats intensity When James Clear wrote Atomic Habits, he didn’t aim to write a bestseller. He wrote one small article every week for years. That consistency built: •audience •trust •skill •momentum And success came later.
