@EdwardMehr Similar thing happened to me kingmade founder told many investors I sucked I had worked in factories building hardware for years My company wasn’t even competitive. Built it to millions in revenue despite his efforts. It’s sad and hurts reindustrialization

There’s a founder in manufacturing who apparently goes around telling people not to work with us. I keep hearing it from investors, vendors, media… enough times that now it’s a pattern. Obviously doesn’t work on customers; cause they just want something that helps them! Part of me is amused, eating popcorn and seeing how it unfolds. The other part feels bad for my fellow brother. It reads a lot like insecurity. Especially coming from someone who’s never actually built hardware himself. Anyone who had done manufacturing knows this industry is far too interconnected for that kind of behavior to work. It is just noise. You don’t win by blocking others. You win by helping others. Manufacturing is big and complex. Founders in the space know who I’m talking about! I am not the only one he targets 😆

Thank you for your belief in me from day 0 @NWischoff Your belief elevated me from Raytheon engineer to founder Most didn't believe we could change this legacy industry This is just the beginning 📈

Sat down with Malory Mclemore (CEO/cofounder) at Stell Engineering to hear the latest on how they closed $8M in government contracts over the past 60 days and why she believes that developer tools for hardware engineering is their $10B+ opportunity.

6 years ago today I was working a Friday at the factory, then going home to spend 1 last night practicing math for the GMAT I was terrified to find out if my 6 months of studying would mean something

In Spring of 2023, I was clinically obese, high cholesterol, prediabetic, and incredibly low energy (like Jeb!) Now I feel amazing and can run a half marathon and still have energy to surf the afternoon. Small changes compound over time. No excuses, get to the gym.

Hackerrank screens for swe roles are now useless with AI Spent an hour with the team today rewatching a bunch of them Only sure way to evaluate eng capability is in person interviews Not sure how remote-first start ups will scale. The time lost figuring it out the hard way is too much

We are hosting a beach volleyball class + competition on Thursday October 16 in Santa Monica as part of LA tech week Defense tech focused group. Hoping to have fun, get some sun + exercise, and meet others interested in our industry DM me if you want the invite
Katia Ameri@KatiaAmeri

hi! we just launched SF + LA Tech Week and it’s crazy to say (I know I say this every time) but it really is true - it’s the biggest one yet. we’ve broken more records and now have 1,500+ events, over 2x last year’s launch! SF Tech Week: Oct 6-12 LA Tech Week: Oct 13-19 Register for events here: tech-week.com/calendar SF is on fire, on track to be home to the biggest Tech Week. When we first started @Techweek_, it was right after COVID, and we saw so many founders relocating outside the Bay Area to cities all over the US. That first year, SF Tech Week was actually the smallest. This year, it’s set to be the largest. We’ve doubled the number of SF events at launch year over year, a clear signal showing just how much the AI wave is fueling the city’s growth. And this is shaping up to be *the* week for tech in the city. LA was home to the very first Tech Week, and it’s special for me to see how much it’s grown. What makes LA unique is the mix of industries here. We’re seeing two in particular take off - AI in entertainment and deep tech. The best part is how the ecosystem really comes together around Tech Week to champion the city, with so many LA investors and GPs hosting. One of the biggest pieces of feedback we’ve heard from attendees is that now that Tech Week has gotten so big, we need more ways to discover events most relevant to you. So, this year we’ve put together curated tracks: future of work in SF, entertainment in LA, investor-focused events, hard tech, fintech, hackathons, and more.

My parents just bought a second home in Montana, they grew so wealthy just from owning a home pre-pandemic Neither of them went to college, work normal jobs (real estate, interior decorating) Meanwhile, I barely pay my rent, car, and afford unprocessed, healthy food

But I recognize they started doing this probably because they were called a sexist for giving a real rejection All of the woke social punishments aren’t helping women advance, if anything it makes real sexism worse and harder to call out

Would rather hear “you’re a fucking idiot” every time As a founder - Nothing is worse than a VC hiding a real reaction, and then offering to introduce me to “VCs who invest in women founded companies” ☠️
Rob Henderson@robkhenderson

A friend once pointed out to me that if a woman says something objectionable and your impulse is to treat her as a man and say "You're a fucking idiot," you will be deemed a sexist. But if your impulse is to let it slide because she is a woman, you will be deemed a sexist.

@AnjneyMidha 🎯 Anyone who’s job is theory of building instead of delivering product will waste your time Often have “expert” titles they will list features that keep you busy with no wtp Domain experience insulates founders from this folly

Something I have to explain to founders more and more: the ‘chief AI/innovation officer’ in your DMs is not your customer. They are, at best, an optimistic broker and at worst, a time waster, on your route to your real customer (a P&L owner) Budget your time accordingly

@NWischoff inflation in housing / goods in SF-LA now hitting early companies in salaries $2M seed means fully remote team or not enough engineers to build Customers (rightly) expect tons of features and AI magic, this is not 2015

In today's market, companies in the top quartile of seed round size (5M round, 27M val on average or above) are 171% more likely to reach Series A than those in the bottom quartile (2M round, 12M val); sharp contrast from the 51% edge seen in pre-2022 vintages (Cendana Capital data). Eager to see how all of this plays out.

PSA for new MBAs at start-ups you didn’t found - realize how blessed you are to be in the arena and not consulting - be quiet about “strategy” - produce work for customers using skilled labor - repeat each day until strategy reveals itself to you. Likely 9+ months
