Cal AI has been acquired by MyFitnessPal 🚨
Henry and I started Cal AI as 17-year old high school students with one mission: make calorie tracking easier with AI.
In just 18 months, we’ve helped millions of people lose millions of pounds. And we broke $50m in ARR along the way.
We are at an incredible inflection point in history where ANYBODY can build a product that can improve lives and make millions.
As founders, we get a lot of praise. The truth is that this would not have been possible without our incredible 30+ person team. We are so proud of what this team has accomplished, and are thankful to everyone that has been instrumental in Cal AI’s development and success.
Cal AI will continue as a separate app from MyFitnessPal. The combined team will share resources to continue helping people achieve their fitness goals!

2025 was an interesting year for Shuffle. A lot of our attention went into making the transition from medium to large casino, and all of the fun things that comes with that - implementing new processes, hiring more people, and ironing out a lot of the creases that have existed since we were a small, inexperienced team. The year both went incredibly quickly and seems to have lasted a long time, but looking back on the platform this time last year I can comfortably say we're in a much better spot than we were 12 months ago. We have a strong team, a healthy bankroll, partners that we're close enough with to call friends, a platform that is up there amongst the best, and a loyal core userbase that we enjoy interacting with. When we started this journey nearly 3 years ago, there wasn't much more we could ask for than that - so for all the people and players who help make it happen, thank you!
More broadly, the casino landscape changed quite a lot. We saw a new low-edge meta take off, the launch of decentralised casinos, big marketing spend and (predictably) a swath of new entrants. We saw changes to regulation (Curacao -> Anjouan for most), casinos winding down operations, and prediction markets that are 'certainly not gambling' plastered all over the mainstream.
If I had to guess, I would say that 2026 will be more of the maturation of regulation (and the evolution of platforms one way or the other there), and while we’ll still see a lot of teams launching new casinos, I expect that a lot of the others that didn’t catch traction after launching in 2023/24 to start either shutting down shop or selling out.
You can expect the following from Shuffle this coming year:
Airdrops
Yes, Airdrop 3 is turning into Airdrops. Airdrops are taking all of the learnings from our AD1 and AD2 campaigns and evolving them into a Shuffle-exclusive bonusing type that will distribute SHFL tokens fairly and effectively all throughout the year. Airdrops will work as follows:
- The first Airdrop will be backdated, taking into account the last 12 months of play on Shuffle, distributed to the top 50,000 players on Shuffle in that time. Of the 90M SHFL being allocated across all Airdrops, this first Airdrop will be bigger than the rest.
- Subsequent Airdrops will run weekly, with the top 10,000 players being distributed a set amount of SHFL based on their ranking that week.
- All Airdrops will be wager-to-vest.
- We’re aiming for the Airdrops to start in February.
There will be a variety of multipliers that impact where your position within the top players including the games you play, your VIP rank, and what currency you’re playing in - all of this will be displayed when the first Airdrop lands, and we'll let you know where on the leaderboard you are for the first Airdrop well ahead of time.
Individual details such as timelines, vesting and numbers of recipients are subject to change as we continue building this out. Excluded, closed, or gameplay restricted accounts won’t be eligible for Airdrops.
Original Games
It’s been way too long without a new original game for us, and without a truly new original game within the space. The new year is a good chance for us to solve both of those problems. We have a considerable backlog of game ideas that we haven’t seen done yet, we just need to devote resources to building them - who knows, maybe even Uno this year...
On-Chain
We’ve partnered with a team to bring provably-fair betting on-chain. All value will be accrued to the SHFL token, bringing a new revenue source to the token and further strengthening it as the leader within GambleFi. Big announcements to come on that soon, the build has commenced.
Bigger (maybe) and Better (definitely)
While growth is always nice, it's not the main focus for us, and hasn't been for a while. Our biggest focus this coming year is continuing to strive to be the best platform for players. In essence, this boils down to:
- the most intuitive UX
- the fastest, most effective support
- the friendliest hosts
- the most entertaining games
- the most innovative features
Some of these may already be true, but there is significant work we need to put in to the rest - we won't be stopping until it's comfortably true to be able to say all of these about Shuffle.
Happy New Year to everyone! New years are always good times to reset and refocus on what matters, and I wish you all a future filled with success.

Not cap. When PS5s went up for preorder in June 2020, they sat in stock on Target, Amazon, etc. for about an hour on average.
What made it so great was that there was no upfront cost. Just credit card pre-auths at most places.
Easy $50k if you were somewhat in-the-know.

Kai@kai_xbt
Threadguy explains how some people retired off PS5s in 2020 “Remember when PS5s were like $1200? Well there was a legitimate group of people who made 7-8 figures and retired off PS5s in 2020. PS5s were like one of the best games in town in 2020 if you weren’t trading crypto”

Slash, @slashapp, just crossed $150M in annualized revenue profitably.
We went from $2M -> $150M in 24 months making us the fastest-growing business banking* platform of all time.
700 word post on 4 guiding principles that got us here.
This cost us >$10M dollars to learn...

I'll cover:
• Picking the right market (where 99% of founders go wrong)
• Why revenue is the ONLY business metric that matters
• Why market saturation is fake
• What every founder does day to day that they shouldn't
1. Attack “small” markets:
Startup founders - myself included - gravitate towards working on companies that have huge upside. Here's the problem: it’s difficult to find aggressive product-market fit / build a differentiated product if you don’t sell ONE offer to ONE person.
I'll repeat: one offer, to one person
Examples:
• PayPal didn't start by trying to own 70% of online payments they started with payment processing just for eBay merchants.
• Uber started as black cars for rich SF people.
Ask yourself, what am I selling and to who?
If you're selling more than one thing to more than one person, in the beginning, you're not niche enough.
Slash started by building a better credit card for SNEAKER RESELLERS.
Ridiculously niche. And that tiny wedge alone got us to $5M ARR in 11 months.
Once you dominate the niche, you earn the right (and the cash) to expand outward.
We STILL go after “small” verticals because our competitors are too arrogant to do it. We walk in and own them.
2. Revenue is the only metric that matters. Everything else is cope.
If your revenue isn't growing, nothing else matters.
Revenue gives you two things:
A) Money to redeploy. (Obvious.)
B) Momentum.
A team that’s winning wants to work harder.
A team that’s losing checks out.
To become a unicorn, you have to outwork everyone else.
To outwork everyone else, you need morale.
To get morale, you need wins.
To get wins, you need revenue.
Everything ladders back to one thing: Sell more, sooner.
Drive sales and demand → everything else falls into place.
3. “Market saturation” is fake.
When starting Slash, everyone told us we'd never be successful because Ramp, Brex, and Mercury were already worth > $10bn.
The reality is that fintech is only 5% penetrated. 95% of business deposits and corporate card spend still runs through the legacy banks.
Many markets are similar to B2B fintech. They can “feel” settled because there is a sexy startup that everyone’s heard about, but dinosaurs have all the rev share.
There's always a way to find your wedge.
4. 99% of founders do the wrong thing at the wrong time
When you start your role as the founder is to do EVERYTHING. And you should outsource nothing.
Example: If you run an ecom business you should write film and edit EVERY single script.
If you're a CTO you should write every line of code.
Biggest 🚩in an early stage founder is someone who says they need to "outsource to an expert".
No. You ARE the expert or you become one. Founders who outsource early are lazy.
When you grow this needs to change rapidly. >10M ARR you need to SHIFT fast.
Your role as the founder should be to bring in people competent enough to deliver on all of your initiatives.
There is simply too much to do and it won’t be possible for you to brute force your way out of every problem.
We're winning because 65% of our team is on the spectrum.
We have savant engineers who this year alone have, shipped treasury, Stablecoin Payments, check deposits, SWIFT, Global USD, accounting automations, a completely new interface, and more.
We have a world-class GTM and ops team. Because of it, we blow our competitors out of the water when it comes to revenue / employee, payment volume / employee, and other efficiency metrics.
--------
If you have read this far, thank you.
I got told countless times Slash would never be anything.
We want Slash to be the first trillion dollar fintech company in the world.
At our current growth rate we'll hit 1 billion dollars in revenue run rate in 18 months and 100 billion in 7 years.
We’re giving it our all to accelerate our growth rate and hit these metrics even faster.

I BOUGHT A MCLAREN THANKS TO LEAGUE OF LEGENDS THIS YEAR
In @PastelAlpha we focus on as many avenues of profitability as possible in crypto, whether it’s trenching, NFTs, predictions, sports, whitelists, seeds etc.
This year World Championships I set out a goal for myself to outdo my performance last year which was turning $6k to $60k
This year I managed to do +$315k in the 2 weeks the tournament was occurring for
All bets were posted every day for Pastel members and sizing wise I try my best to teach people how to bet properly and understand the game if they’re not familiar with it

Can we get a prediction market on what Kalshi's next round valuation will be? 🫡

Tarek Mansour@mansourtarek_
Kalshi recently raised $300M+ at $5B from Sequoia, a16z, Paradigm and others. Since then, we've grown over 3x, hit $50B of annualized volume, and became the largest prediction market in the world. And today…Kalshi goes global. 140+ countries. 1 liquidity pool.
