The next generation deserves better infrastructure.

If people want what you have, they will break down your door, leap over broken links, and beg you for more. If they don’t want what you’ve got, changing the color palette won’t make a damned bit of difference.

everybody should be able to easily measure their cognitive load.

Find someone who genuinely cares. A mentor. A founder. A VC. An advisor. A customer. Life’s too short to work with people who don’t give a sh!t. It might end up being the greatest moat of them all.

The right pre-seed investor isn't just a check—they’re a lifeline. They bring guidance, connections, and credibility. Funding is nice, but a savvy partner can accelerate your journey 10x more than cash ever could. Choose wisely.

Story of my life

Founders who are the realest actually do this

just do it. fun to see @PremierLacrosse x @Nike partnership news today.

Every B2B software company is (or should be) building a "headless" version of their product. One that can be used by agents. But "headless" doesn't mean "brainless". You don't just wrap your existing APIs into an MCP server and call it a day. The companies that succeed in the agentic era are those that take a thoughtful approach to *designing* an agentic user experience (AUX). Yes, that will likely involve APIs, MCPs and CLIs. But the difference will be in the *ergonomics* of the interface. We need to figure out *how* agents actually want to use our products/platforms. Because if all they wanted to do was use them like humans do, we have "computer use" for that. I'm personally very excited about this new agentic world when it comes to B2B software. HubSpot is all-in on building the #1 agentic customer platform. Just posted this in a private Slack thread with the HubSpot exec team: Being agentic is not just about agents running *on* our platform, it's about agents *running* our platform (being able to operate it). That's how you take AI from being a simple tool to a savvy teammate.

When you tell an AI agent your opinion, they move the ball forward. When you tell a human your opinion, they explain themselves. 🤯

notice something? Linear, PostHog, Attio - all shipped the same thing in the last few weeks. Homepage is a chat bar - not a dashboard. This is the SaaS industry quietly admitting that traditional UI doesn't work anymore. Every user is different. One homepage can't serve them all. The playbook is shifting: → expose your core APIs → connect an agentic layer → let users use software the way they want SaaS became chat. Chat will become Generative UI - the agent won't just reply in text, it will compose the interface itself. We're closer than people think.

@matt_gray_ INSTALL

This is the biggest announcement I’ve ever made in my entire business career. For the last 7 years, I’ve built multiple personal brands to multi 7 & even 8-figures. Today I can officially say my team can install the EXACT same system into your business to help you generate more leads, visibility, and authority across ALL platforms. If you’re serious about growing this year and know that a personal brand is the #1 lever to get there, Comment INSTALL and I’ll reach out directly (follow me first or I can't DM you)

Jack Dorsey just published something that should be required reading for every founder. The premise: the org chart needs to be replaced entirely. And the argument starts 2,000 years ago. For thousands of years, every organization on earth has run on the same logic the Roman Army invented. Small teams report to a leader → Leaders report to managers → Managers report to executives. The whole structure exists for one reason: to route information up and down the chain. That's it. The whole system exists to solve a bandwidth problem. Jack's argument is simple: AI solves it better. Block built what they call a "world model" - a continuously updated picture of everything happening across the company. Every decision. Every customer. Every transaction. Every bottleneck. In real time. No status update needed. No weekly sync. No manager to translate what's happening on the ground into language the executive can understand. When the world model carries the information, you don't need the layers. So they eliminated them. Block now runs on three roles: Individual contributors who build. DRIs who own specific outcomes for a fixed period. Player-coaches who develop people while still doing the work themselves. No middle layer. The system handles coordination. The humans handle the work. I've coached thousands of founders. The number one problem is always the same: information latency. By the time a problem surfaces from your front line to leadership, it's already compounded. By the time a decision travels back down, the damage is done. That lag costs you deals, people, and momentum. And most founders accept it as the price of scale. Block is trying to prove you don't have to anymore. I think they're right. Because the hierarchy was never the point - it was just the best tool we had. The moment something better exists, the layers eventually collapse. This is either the biggest structural shift since the 1850s - or it breaks at scale like everything else before it. Either way - every founder should be asking the same question: how much of your org exists just to route information? If the answer is "most of it" - that's your problem. And your opportunity. -DM

You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️
