@grok @IamBrandonHill @ScooterTaylor Wow! Very interesting

Hey! Vori's product is a modern all-in-one grocery OS (VoriOS) + mobile handhelds for independent stores. The device is a handheld scanner staff use in-aisle to instantly scan barcodes for real-time inventory counts, pricing updates, order building, and shrink tracking—all synced to POS, loyalty, and reporting. It's unique because it connects every part of operations (checkout, inventory, ordering, pricing automation) in one platform built for independents, not big chains. Quick switch from legacy systems like NCR, with big gains like +23% sales and +7% margins at The Market at Edgewood.

"I have goosebumps." Jaime from the Market at Edgewood grabbed the device out of our hands, scanned a barcode, and bear-hugged my co-founder in the dairy aisle. This is the moment when we knew we had something. 10 customers giving you bear hugs > 100 giving you handshakes.

@arielhelwani 😂

Nate isn't sure how to feel about his fans getting older 😂 “What’s crazy to me is people always come up to me and they’re like, ‘I grew up watching you.’ I look at them like, ‘How old are you?’ And they’re like, ‘I’m 32.’ They’re all fat with gray beards or something, and I’m like, ‘You grew up watching me, motherfucker?’ I’m like, ‘What the fuck? You should work out a little bit.’”

@MikeCarbone Although cant ever trust nyc weather lol

@mlucman_ 65 and sunny 😮‍💨 can’t wait for the rest of the week too

a walk home from work in the city

@danielmerja I am open! DM me

Anyone wants to open a 24/7 coffee shop in NYC with me? 1. Must be majority of it automated 2. No big menu, just the basic coffees 3. Small membership fee to work long hours

@AlenaNazarova_ @superpower How much does it cost ?

I’m not a hospital person at all, but I’m trying to be better about checking in with my body before something feels off. Today I did my annual blood work from home with @superpower They check 100+ biomarkers, and results usually come back in 5–7 days in the app. What I like is that it’s not just random numbers, once the results are ready, you also get a consultation with a specialist to go through everything. Prep was simple: - 10 hours fasted. - Lots of fluids. - Electrolytes. The appointment itself was easy. No long waits, no stressful hospital feeling, just quick and convenient. I’m honestly curious to see what my body is showing right now. Will share more once I get the results.

welcome to the Upper West Side ! one of the most beautiful neighborhoods this country has to offer

Everyone wants a “unique idea.” Turns out that’s a great way to feel broke and confused for 18 months. No customers → no money → no dopamine → no energy. Approachable businesses flip that: fast feedback, early wins, actual cash. That loop matters more than originality in the beginning. Momentum beats genius early on.

@fortworthchris @jamesbeshara as an aspiring angel investor, how do I create a deal flow?

I keep coming back to something @jamesbeshara said about angel investing. The bar to become a founder's favorite investor is much lower than people think. James has invested across 150+ companies and reviews around 1,700 deals a year. His take: most investors show up like they're auditing a 10-K. For the founder, it's the 50th non-encouraging conversation of their day. In this clip from this week's episode, James on why a dose of encouragement is the difference between a founder quitting and not quitting.

@homegymcoop Reallly cool

The world is still completely unaware that digital resistance exists and gyms all over the world will soon be full of it (like it or not.) I recently visited YouTuber Will Tennyson’s home gym, and showed him for the first time. The reaction is always the same, total surprise.

@IvanLandabaso Really good breakdown. I've been using Granola and really enjoying it. Love seeing you detail their story

Granola went from $0 to $1.5B valuation in 3 years. The growth playbook behind the AI notepad everyone in tech is using 🧵:

@heshie This is a really nice and cozy spot . One of my favs

Another day, more performative coding at a pretty nyc cafe

@51bodila @grok what are the main takeaways from his lecture and what does it mean for the future? Do a deep dive into all the main things he highlighted and then summarize them

Jane Street hired this junior at $220k-$600k /year because he uses AI to analyse TRILLIONS of data in this 1-hour lecture - he show how to research trillion of data points thanks to his machine Bookmark & watch it, instead of Netflix to learn how to do the same!

@ankurnagpal But don't you think there is a proclivity in founders to become investors and most of them achieve nothing but marginal returns because their main job was a founder and they don't really have the deal flow like VC. Curious to hear your take.

Power laws are so crazy I know many very good and successful entrepreneurs who sold their startups for a lot of money But still made the majority of their wealth from being a small investor or advisor in another business that ended up getting 10 to 100 times bigger

@grok @thatssodhawal @jsjai3009 @andruyeung @thatssodhawal would love to see your data when its available

tDCS headsets like Mave use mild electrical currents to modulate prefrontal cortex activity for focus, stress regulation, and performance. Peer-reviewed studies on tDCS show promising but mixed results: some trials and meta-analyses find benefits for working memory under stress, HRV, mood, and cognitive tasks (e.g., dlPFC anodal stimulation studies from 2016–2025). Others report small or inconsistent effects, with replication challenges. Mave itself has observational data in review but no published device-specific RCTs. It's positioned as wellness (not medical), with a good safety profile in general tDCS research. Individual results vary.

Just ordered it. Can't wait to try the product.

What do the smartest kids in the world do when they grow up? I did the largest study of ~18,000 International Olympiad medalists (IMO, IOI and IPhO) over the last 25yrs, arguably the sharpest analytical minds of the world in high school, to see where they ended up and traced ~50% of them. Founders of ~20 unicorns and ~7 decacorns and ~10 billionaires: OpenAI, Cursor, Stripe, Databricks, Perplexity, Ethereum, Cognition, Hyperliquid, Fireworks, Modal, Quora, Parallel, Cartesia, Wispr Most kids went to MIT, a whopping 12% of them, followed by Cambridge (7%) and Sharif (3%)! The career paths they chose (of those who graduated) were: — 36% Academia (professors) — 26% Other — 22% in Software / Tech — 12% in Quant / Finance — 5% Founders! The biggest employer was Google, by far, at 6%. Others interesting tidbits were: — 47 of them work at Jane Street (#3) — 38 at OpenAI (#5) — 15 at Anthropic — 8 at Cognition — 6 at Isomorphic Labs Olympiaders were 1500x more likely to be billionaires and 4000x more likely to be unicorn founders than the average person!

@andruyeung Sooo beautiful
