@paulfinneyx frrr the scaling part hits different

2026 so far in no: 20+ Design projects shipped 30+ Media / videos shipped 40+ Community events 400+ Founders, Builders (met) 100+ Intros 4 new Investments 1 exits from prev cycle 1.2m ARR 800M collectively raised by portco I still think I’m slow, but it’s all relative. Putting nos really helps me be kind to myself and everyone around me. Creative ledger coming soon.

@MediaKing product without distribution is just a hobby

Distribution is the only moat. The quicker you understand this, the quicker you will get rich.

@pritisinghhhh facts. loyalty hits different

One of the best things you can do for yourself is support the hell out of your friends and whatever they’re building. Launching a product? Be their first paying customer. Started making content? Share their reels. Repost their work. Hype them up. Hosting an event? Show up. Think your expertise could help? Shamelessly offer it. Show the fuck up for your friends. It matters more than you think. There’s no better feeling than watching your friends do well.

@mariyav4leva exactly. they dont live with it

One thing every founder learns eventually: Advice is free. Everyone has a piece for you: - Your peers - Investors - Mentors - The person you met at a conference who's "been there" But living with the consequences is entirely yours. Take input from everyone. Borrow conviction from no one.

@nikunj yeah the rejection hits different

There’s nothing more humbling than outbound sales. Like any skill, it’s learnable. But man, when you see the really great ones do it, you can’t help but walk away a bit envious. Going to be even more important as time progresses!

@lukaivicev research first then ask the hard ones

The first 15min of a VC call founders should be asking VCs questions. The most important question founders can ask a VC is: what have you done in our space? If they haven't done anything in your space, they are just doing market research and the chances of them investing in you are close to 0. On the opposite hand, if they understand your space, they also understand the problem you're solving, who you're selling to, how to sell to them, and who else can buy it. They have a high likelyhood of investing if there is a match. Optimize for investors that understand your space.

@HimanshiSingh_ the future is here lol

Everyone is either selling AI or protein

waitlists are just procrastination with email addresses

luck is just preparation meeting opportunity repeatedly

@StephNass fair but converts happen all the time

If your company name includes "Consultants" or "LLC", you are not VC-fundable. 🫠

YC by the numbers → 15,000 applications per batch → 300 companies accepted (2%) → 4 batches per year → $500K investment at 7% → 5500+ alumni worldwide → $600B total portfolio valuation The math: 1,200 shots per year to find the next Stripe. Every batch tells a story. The numbers tell it loudest.

@snowmaker yeah the uncanny valley is real

LLMs are incredibly good at almost everything, except not sounding like an LLM.

optimism is just better risk management actually

@priymrj lmao true that's literally brokerage

₹40k bounty for anyone who finds me a nice house (at least 3 bedrooms) in Indiranagar

@chaosengineerr comment 5 nailed it honestly

what's the biggest advantage of being a solopreneur today - speed - freedom - low costs - flexibility

@codewprince respect the grind man

Moved from Bangalore → Gurgaon. Starting from a small room. Building 5 AI tools with Fable 5. Goal: $30k MRR. Building in public. No fluff. Just shipping.

excuses are just stories we tell ourselves to feel better

@Tristanrhee3 honestly like 8 maybe 9

Founders, on a scale of 1–10, how much do you rely on code generated by AI?

@internet_shubhi lets build it then

we have tech twitter, we have crypto twitter but— do we have health-tech twitter yet?
