I flew to SF to see the @sfvibehouse where exited founders go to build again. No pitch decks. No membership fee. 33 founders in 1 room, nobody selling anything. @sahin is building one of the most interesting founder communities right now Wrote it up 👇 buff.ly/sduumeM

I’ve worked from home for years, and it’s wonderful, including the occasional distraction from my kids 😄 This fraud narrative is such a wrong take. I also bet he spends most of his time in meaningless meetings.

@davegerhardt This is the playbook @sahin has been running for years. Four companies, two exits (one to Gusto), 207+ angel investments, and his next bet is that AI makes the one-person company optimal. He's building @lovieco around that conviction. You two should 🤝

My company is 8 people. Profitable. No outside capital. $5M revenue this year (doubled every year since 2023). I can work from home. Do school dropoff/pickup. Have a snack with my kids after school. But everyone asks how my little lifestyle business is going? So if you aren't sleeping on the office floor you're not a real entrepreneur? SMH

" @todoist is a vastly better app for managing projects and to-dos" — @pierce, certified 200-to-do-app veteran, on the @platformer pod with @CaseyNewton. High praise from two people who've seen it all. Thanks for the shoutout 🙏 Big changes coming in Q4 platformer.news/david-pierce-i…

First public demo of UP2HOMES yesterday. 33 repeat founders at SF Vibe House. AI-matched connections, honest feedback, Turkish hospitality. Some are signing up as beta clients. Thank you @sahinboydas and @sfvibehouse . 🙏

Shark Tank is dead. no one has 2 hours to watch a fake, cinematic, scripted drama. we just fixed that. introducing... The Buzzer 🔴 1 founder. 1 investor. 5-minutes speed date. every time the set turns red, either one can reject the other and get a new match (yes... founders can reject investors too LOL) if they both survive the 5 minutes, it's a match. and they get a private second date. it's entertaining. it's educational. and it's actually very fun to watch. this is the new Shark Tank. and it's called The Buzzer 🔴 enjoy! 🍿 (and shoutout to CUT for the inspiration, and to @compai for sponsoring this episode 💚)

Looks like @HippoAg is continuing to grow! Just raised $30M Series C round led by Cox Farms, North America's largest greenhouse operator @tdechant 🥬 prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

If you're @elfcosmetics or @tartecosmetics chasing that next layer — real-time social video intelligence, not just comment mining — @PlotWorkspace is already doing this for Fenty Beauty & Benefit Cosmetics. Worth a look. adage.com/brand-marketin…

"Beauty is the AI lighthouse for every other category" — @BCG's Mark Abraham, in @adage's @SheLikesToShop piece. e.l.f. mining social buzz in real time, Tarte's AI gift finder converting 5-7x higher. This is what "agentic attacker brands" actually looks like in practice. 🧵

News: A fashion creator did one eczema interview and ChatGPT started citing him. Soon, inbound brand inquiries from Cetaphil, Hypothesis, and others, climbed 50%. The creator economy is adapting to a new audience: AI assistants. Here's how they are changing strategy to monetize

Most companies measure AI adoption by their power users. @doist tracked everyone else. New post on what that bet actually proved. 🎩 @dcwarrington & @DaanWorks open.substack.com/pub/leahbchatt…

@gregisenberg Def consider @sahin. He's a serial entrepreneur who is now building @lovieco, the OS for the AI era's solo founders. He also runs SF Vibe House, the anti-hacker house that has become a gathering hub for 250+ exited founders building in the AI era: sfvibehouse.com

My take on @dcwarrington's recent session with the Lead With AI PRO Community on @doistOS 🎩 to @DaanWorks open.substack.com/pub/leahbchatt…

@JoannaStern @om

So saddened to hear about @om. His writing was one of the reasons I went into tech journalism. Right out of college, I was working at a PR agency and started reading his site. It inspired me to start blogging. Years later, he tried to recruit me. Even after I went elsewhere, he’d send me notes telling me how proud he was of my work. He’d often review my reviews, so here’s mine of him: Generous with his time. Honest with his feedback. And endlessly encouraging to those coming up behind him. Thank you, Om, for showing so many of us what great, independent tech journalism could be.

The new Todoist Quick Add is coming along very nicely. Lots of lovely details like transitions and animations 👌 The team has been cooking. Also, things like AI scanning of text, documents, and images are baked in, not bolted on.

Overheard by a boomer: “They’re building all these f*cking data centers everywhere. What are they storing in there?” My reply: Our collective consciousness 💆🏻‍♀️

OpenAI wants to donate equity to the federal government & call it a 'Public Wealth Fund.' I've drafted more creative messaging pivots, but not many. What I haven't seen is a clean answer to the ? every journalist is going to ask: what does the govt want in return?

Great how-to from @Lynch39083 at @techedvocate covering everything you need to know about @todoist: tasks, projects, labels, Karma, integrations, and tips for students, freelancers, and teams. A solid primer for getting organized ✅ buff.ly/KFg0lR3
