@compliantvc @compai I would love to send my Delve invoice, but under GDPR I am not legally permitted to share a document containing my company name, address, VAT number, the vendor's name, any line items, the total amount, the date, or the invoice number. I can send you a blank PDF instead.

Sorry to all the folks dealing with this. If you've been affected, email the Comp AI team at sales@trycomp.ai before the end of March with your Delve invoice, and they'll give you a year of @compai for free.

Too many founders these days think the game is showbiz. It’s grit.

@shaig I initially read this as “a colleague of mine just put $50B on the company Amex”

colleague of mine just brought on a $50B+ public company onto Brex biz is compounding customer logo slide is stacked: OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Mercor, Doordash, Coinbase, Robinhood, Datadog, etc

@imjaredz @grok explain this using as many tokens as possible

Just use more tokens. stop trying to save tokens. become a token maximalist.

@waltertayannlee they are all joining AI legal startups as employees

@mernit Curious to know why! Are they founding those AI startups? Or employee

The smartest kids from my high school went to Tier 1 law schools and got white shoe legal jobs. In the past 6 months, they've all left for AI startups.

@Brent_Fulfer guarantee the issue is bad storytelling + traction, has nothing to do with being remote

Founders who raise on Zoom alone don't raise. When I was raising my first fund I lived in San Diego. I flew to Dubai. Switzerland. Israel. New York. Then moved to Dubai for a month. Not because I wanted to. Because you cannot raise money on Zoom calls alone. The founders I meet who can't raise have one thing in common. They're pitching from their bedroom. Sending decks. Booking Zoom calls. Following up on emails. And wondering why nobody writes the check. Investors back people before they back products. And they decide if they back you in the first 10 minutes of being in the same room. Not on a 30 minute video call where you're a face on a screen. The founders closing rounds in 2026 are on planes. They're at @consensus2026. @EthCC. @ParisBlockWeek. @token2049. They're having dinner with the right people. They're doing the uncomfortable thing most founders won't do. Get out of your house!!!

People on the sidelines are freaking out about how fast the world is changing, but when you’re in the arena it’s fun and exhilarating

@dianalokada you forgot the most important one

top 10 maxxings in life: 1. skill-maxxing 2. serendipity-maxxing 3. ask-maxxing 4. screentime-maxxing 5. delusion-maxxing 6. optimism-maxxing 7. irl-maxxing 8. havingfun-maxxing 9. twitter-maxxing 10. walk-maxxing

Palantir's Ontology is not a thin "semantic layer." It's a system that consists of a language, engine, and toolchain ; which integrates data, logic, action, and security {L,E,T} x {D,L,A,S}

@ChristianSomora I support his hustle

@mernit There’s still time to delete this before Karp sees it

Palantir will literally sell you a glorified ORM for 20 million dollars

@PaulHug48408181 @tekbog agree, most people download anki and never actually use it

Anki is on the smart side though. It’s literally a brain hack. I spend ten minutes a day on it and my Farsi vocab has increased like by 600 words, I have memorized a hafez poem and am most of the way thru studying for my ham radio license ( just technician so far but I’ll be extra aoon)

idk how to explain this but openclaw is for the same people who use notion

@zackbshapiro Paging @scottastevenson

@mernit Ok, but what’s better about this? Where is the value add?

Please shill me your best steelman arguments for why legal AI wrappers add value:

@zackbshapiro This screenshot from the legora.com website is a good example

@mernit Specifically what use cases/UX improvements are the wrappers offering?

@DrewAustin @openclaw airstore.ai

I think I need to expand beyond @openclaw and I’m open to suggestions. What I am trying to overcome: - Frequent timeouts - better memory handling - be able to have one brain across different instances of engagement whether it’s in cc, telegram, different telegram group chats, slack. - better model selection - actually following the rules and instructions it sets up for itself - not lying - it tell me it solved a problem, then the problem comes up and it says I prob shouldn’t have told you I solved it because I didn’t - better project management across different projects

Tips for engineers doing sales for the first time: - Your job is to listen and understand, not demo and sell - Slow down - Pause frequently - Engage the other person and ask questions - Don’t leave the meeting before setting up next steps This is 90% of the game

@jonoringer @nikitabier @IsaOnTech TechCrunch is literally synonymous with phishing on this platform

@nikitabier - scam phishing account: @IsaOnTech .. would be great if there was a "Report - fishing" on a sepcific DM.. would be fast way to ban these jerks.
