Running a company:
2020: can you survive a pandemic?
2021: still here? we’re going to give all of your competitors $100m series A rounds.
2022: wow, you made it? okay, all engineers cost $600,000/year now.
2023: nice job! okay, SVB failed and we’re going to take away your bank account.
2024: a survivor I see. but can you pivot from ai to crypto to defense tech back to ai-enabled defense tech in a 12 month period to stay relevant?
2025: unfortunately all of your competitors have raised $2b series B rounds. oh and only 500 engineers are relevant and they cost $100m/yr each.
2026: well, well, well. you’re still in business? let’s deploy the thunderclap of godlike LLMs from the heavens so all of your customers can rebuild your app in 2 hours. can you survive?

@signulll That’s the idea behind the product marketing/product management combined role, as well as making sure the CEO is involved in both functions. The biggest shortfall is when marketing is not at the conception of the product.

One of the greatest bands of all time.

50 years of @Apple From the early days of the #iPod to bringing the #iPhone into the world, some of the most formative years of my career were spent there. The products and teams stay with you. But more importantly so does how Apple thinks. A few lessons that have held true for decades: 1) Start with the user, not the tech. The question isn’t “what can we build?” but “what problem actually matters?” 2) Focus is everything. Apple is defined as much by what it says no to as what it builds. 3) End-to-end matters. Hardware, software, services. It all has to work together. 4) Details are the product. What feels small is what users remember. 5) Debate hard. Commit fully. 6) Build for the long term. We’re in another moment of massive technological change. The fundamentals haven’t changed. The companies that win build things people actually use and can’t imagine living without. Congrats to everyone who has been part of Apple’s first 50 years! 🙌

Inspiring way to think about AI and us in the future. Let’s think and build together!

The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction. That gets the future wrong. The best things aren’t built alone. In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for: — Think Together

@ScottDorsey @bgurley No one has solved it yet. I know of a little stealth company that will soon!

I fear that AI has decimated the traditional email inbox as we know it. Too many personalized emails slip through spam filter. Hope someone builds a better mousetrap. This one is cooked in its current form.

It's an incredibly energizing and exciting time... but have to say, also an incredibly overwhelming and confusing time!

I think this is a good take.
Brad Gerstner@altcap
Software is not dead. Grt leaders. Grt companies. Most will hit their numbers. But the terminal value & multiples are lower bc the potential for AI disruption lowers predictability of future cash flows. This only changes if they show how AI is accelerating their core biz. 📈🧐

Me in 2016: why does it take a month to build our new killer feature.
Me in 2026: Why do I have to wait 5 minutes to have the killer feature idea I made up be vibe coded.
