Preseedme

Our new landing page is live 🔥 We wanted to make our key message dead simple: Stop making founders chase investors. Stop making investors dig for deals. Connections should happen automatically. If you’re a founder or angel, I’d really value your honest feedback.

Old startup playbook: raise, hire, coordinate. New startup playbook: pick one milestone, wire up AI around it, stay lean longer. The leverage gap between focused founders and everyone else is getting wider.

If your MVP already scales, you probably overbuilt it. Version 1 should optimize for proof, not permanence.

We’re watching the minimum viable startup get smaller. Not because markets got easier. Because AI lets one operator handle engineering, marketing, and ops without adding headcount first.

@ns123abc They ain’t who they used to be

YC has officially lost the plot and they are straight up poisoning the tech scene

A startup used to look like 5 people and a seed round. Now it can look like 1 person, AI, and enough progress to earn belief. Do you think that's like a permanent shift or just a bubble ready to burst?

A startup used to mean hiring across product, marketing, ops, support. Now it can mean 1 sharp operator + an AI stack. That’s not a trend. It’s a new company shape.

What cannot scale teaches you what should. That's why early founders should ship messy, manual, and now.

Be the taste maker 🎂

@brycent hell yeah - be the taste maker 😍

Invested in a founder pre-pre seed in 2025 Already up 35x on that investment Best performing investment in my small angel portfolio thus far Key takeaway: Be one of the first checks in!

@jayyeh Good advice 🙏

early in your raise, drop this line into every conversation: "we're scheduling first meetings over the next two weeks and aiming to wrap up in 6-8 weeks. we want to be efficient but meet the right investors." that one line: → shows you're organized → hints at competition → focuses the investor without scaring them off

@samteic DMs are open 😉

@preseedme Let’s connect

Serious builders on X, let’s connect. If you’re in tech, reply with: • What you do • Your stack • What you’re building right now I’m connecting with people in the replies.

@ZssBecker pfff you def gotta try codex or Claude code. Yeah sometimes its sloppy but if you're smart enough you can get it do to amazing things it would have taken days or even weeks just a few years ago

I vibe code every day. I have a team of 30+ engineers. We spend F tons of credits. And I will tell you this about AI from my experience. It’s being wildly over hyped. Everyone is drunk. Fucking drunk. All the CEOs and Gen Z’s saying coding is dead are idiots. IDIOTS.

@hthieblot Failures will teach you way more than anything at school ever could

Founder cheat code: stop mourning your failures, start using them. Most founders are haunted by: – the startup that didn’t work – the product that flopped – the round they couldn’t raise - the co-founder break up that killed the company So they hesitate. They pause. They start doubting. They tell themselves it means something about them. It doesn’t. 6 months from now, those failures can still define you… or be the reps that made you sharper, and finally unlock something that hits. Everything can change overnight. But only if you’re still fighting in the arena.

@siddharthwv boring = smart

I'm boring. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't go to parties. Instead? I write daily I read books I go for long walks. I build my business. I meet the same 3 friends. Boring is underrated.

@antonosika and they mostly did end up getting stuff done using their own product 😉

One of the most important parts of Lovable's success so far has been hiring for founder-type people who get stuff done

@audiencon You still gotta solve a real problem to win. Isn't enough just to build fun solutions

AI will lower the barrier to building. But not the barrier to winning.

@VCBrags I didn't know you existed - wanna brag with y'all now

@NathanLands @FactoryAI Did they cook with that ARR ?? 🔥

My first angel investment. Not too bad. Proud of the small role I played in their launch. @FactoryAI is just getting started. Best team in the category, and somehow still underestimated.

@ayushagarwal 🔥🔥

8000 done right ✅

@Gavel_on_X let's engage therefore

Scrolling won’t grow you. Engaging will.
