@SahilBloom So true. When the work gives you energy instead of only taking it, you can stay in the game way longer.

Life advice nobody told you: Having fun is the ultimate long-term competitive advantage. You can never bet against the person who just seems to have fun doing the work. When you’re having fun, you’re more likely to give your full attention and energy to something. You’re more likely to do it for a long time. You’re more likely to be willing to do the boring basics that most people skip. Lean into the things that feel fun. It’s the clearest edge you can find.

I’m in love with this sentence:
“The art of not being ready and doing it anyway will take you so far.”

The work just needs to be done. Most of us don’t need more teaching,we need to be reminded more than we need to be taught. I’m proud to help so many people, no matter the time or place in the world, thank you @intro

Going from zero to one is equal parts conviction and chaos.
Pre-seed is where you have a thesis, no playbook, and everything still has to be proven. It’s also the stage I love most as an investor and operator.
Most founders think this phase is only about product. It’s not.
It’s about the story, the market insight, the wedge, the first customers, the founding team, and your ability to execute before the world sees what you see.
I’m excited to now be on @intro alongside operators and investors like @alexisohanian, @sarahleary, @andrewchen, @mejoff , and @mhiggins - helping founders think through the earliest stages of company building.
I can help with:
✅ Picking the right problem / market
✅ Building the right early product
✅ Getting your first 10 customers
✅ Recruiting a cofounder or founding team
✅ Raising pre-seed and seed
✅ Thinking ahead to Series A, M&A, or IPO

Raising a round feels like winning, but it can become one of the most expensive decisions a founder will ever make.
@lanemerrifield cuts through the noise with an important reminder: capital should match immediate use, clear milestones, and real leverage. Otherwise you’re paying for money you didn’t need yet.

Big news! I've just joined @intro as an expert and opened up my calendar for 1:1 calls.
I built Haus from a garage to the fastest growing activewear brand in the US, on track to do over $60M this year. Then built Trybe to help other brands do the same thing faster.
I get a lot of DMs from e-com founders trying to figure out how to grow. I want to help them skip the lessons I had to learn the hard way.
✔️ Scaling hyper-growth e-com brands
✔️ Building powerful UGC programs
✔️ Lowering CAC and building growth systems
✔️ Operations and team building
Comment "Interested" and the @intro team will DM you a code to book.

The hub-and-spoke model is holding SaaS back.
20+ years ago, software was constrained by bandwidth. Dial-up and DSL connections forced every tool to make serious compromises:
→ High-fidelity interactions were compressed into static text fields.
→ Context was stripped out to make systems lighter.
→ Workflows were fragmented, connected only by manual handoffs.
That made sense in 2006. It makes zero sense today.
But most SaaS is still built the same exact way: one central hub, a dozen disconnected spokes, fragile APIs holding it all together, and AI trying to reconstruct the missing context.
We aren’t constrained by bandwidth anymore. So it’s time we stop building software around limitations that no longer exist.
