was hanging out with my 21 y/o cousin yesterday
cs major, good grades, solid experience
him and his friends are fed up with submitting 3000+ applications to fight over internships
they’ve completely checked out that system
after seeing the cal ai acquisition, they decided to lock tf in
they’re building apps, taking one shot on goal every month as a small team of 3
many such cases
gen z/gen alpha is waking up
“corporate life” is not longer a career path
graduating college in 2019/2020 was the last flight out of fallujah so to speak
the only way to make it, is to make your own future
making your own music, art, software, films, etc
companies are shrinking in size
applicants are increasing
layoff are up
he said something thatstuck with me
“rn it’s easier to build your own thing than it is to find a job”
hit it on the head

I just had my first ride with HOVR, a Canadian alternative to Uber. They are cheaper and pay their drivers more. They already have over 3000 drivers in the Greater Toronto Area. You can download HOVR in App Store and Google Play using this link 📷 appurl.io/_njqzPQ57k

I've spent the last 3 months managing Stan's technical hiring. Here's what I learned about sourcing top 1% talent:
- They’re often younger than expected
- A little unconventional
- Deeply obsessive
- Already building on their own
- They’re concentrated in overlooked talent pockets: Toronto suburbs like Mississauga, Brampton, and Oakville

The co-founder of YouTube is Muslim.
The co-founder of Venmo is Muslim.
The co-founder of Cursor is Muslim.
None of them built "Muslim apps." They built products used by hundreds of millions of people.
But if you asked most VCs to name a Muslim founder in their portfolio, they'd go quiet. Not because they're against it. Because it genuinely never crossed their mind.
VCs love talking about "untapped markets" and "overlooked founders." They write whole blog posts about how the best returns come from backing people everyone else ignored. Then they source from the same 10 warm intro networks they've used for a decade and wonder why their portfolio looks the way it does.
The founders I work with aren't asking for special treatment. They're running SaaS companies, fintech infrastructure, logistics platforms, AI tools. Normal startups solving normal problems. They just don't happen to be in your group chat.
And that's the thing about networks. You don't know what you're not seeing. You just assume your deal flow represents the full picture. It doesn't.
Friday is 3,000+ Muslim founders and investors. 24 companies just finished our accelerator Demo Day. 3,700+ angels actively reviewing deals. These are operators and builders who happen to be invisible to most of the ecosystem, not because they're hiding, but because nobody thought to look.
If you're a founder, come pitch us.
If you're an investor, come see the pipeline you're missing.
