London’s startup scene is dense, but scattered.
I wanted one place to see where startups cluster and where each company shows up next.
So I built London Startup Map with AI, as a Product Manager.
376 startups + Luma events linked by company.

@charlieholtz Most of our eng + pm team is on conductor - we love it! Is there anything I can do to get us to try it out?
English
Today we started inviting a small group of early adopters to our first paid plan, Conductor Pro.
Conductor Pro's first feature is cloud workspaces. They're early but magical. You can finally run a team of parallel agents in the cloud.
Our mobile app, API, and shared workspaces are coming soon after.
We're so grateful for the support and feedback 🫡

Zverev after reaching Roland Garros final Q: “What do you think when you go upstairs & they announce the names?" “Pure emptiness. There's absolutely nothing in my head. To be honest, we’re athletes. Very few of us have anything in our head anyways.” 💀

Team Docs beta for @linear. One of our most requested features
In this video, I continue the journey and show how we use Linear, Figma, and Slack to build these features + how Team Docs & Home works.
If you want to try it, reply with your workspace name

Quick video on how I use @linear Agent in product work. For feature requests, I want to understand the broader pattern, not just react to one ask. Here, it pulled from 40k+ customer requests to help me think through whether Linear should have team docs.

Pharma companies get way too much crap for how insanely impactful their work is

Eli Lilly has done it. They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol. That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!

Obesity will be a thing of the past in just a few years
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
Now that we have phase-3 results for retatrutide, it's time to revisit the question: What would happen to obesity if we gave every obese (BMI 30+) person the drug for just one year? Well, the obesity rate would fall by more than 80%! We'd be skinnier than the U.S. circa 1980!

@Briviagra Great read - thanks for sharing. Sad to see even the brightest of nations in our continent still struggling against the degrowth delusion. Best of luck in the US!!

Brian Chesky never misses
Patrick OShaughnessy@patrick_oshag
My guest today is Brian Chesky (@bchesky), founder and CEO of Airbnb and one of the great consumer founders of the last 20 years. Paul Graham coined "founder mode" based on Brian's experience running Airbnb. This conversation is about what comes after it, what he calls AI founder mode, and how it will force founders to focus even more on the details. We talk about his eleven-star exercise for finding product market fit, why your first hire should be a recruiter, and why Airbnb's $100B IPO became one of the saddest days of his life. Brian still comes across like the 17 year-old at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) who picked to study industrial design. His heroes are all artists. Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Walt Disney, and Steve Jobs, all of whom were working the week they died because they loved what they did. Rick Rubin taught him that an artist is only an artist when they make things for themselves. Now Brian believes AI is the opportunity for all of us to do the same. Enjoy!

@ramonrodriganez @NovaRecruiter_ Looks great but the MCP isn't actually available for free...?
English
How to use Claude to source top talent:
1 - Sign up for free to @NovaRecruiter_
2 - Install the MCP
Just tell Claude: "find 100 AI engineers with 3-5 years of experience based in london who work in big tech"
And keep doing your thing while the agents handle the workflow E2E

@vin_kamath @nikunj Oh yes the 10,000 hour rule is bollocks. I mean deliberate practice in the broader sense of being intentional about what you are trying to achieve, rather than simply being passively exposed to practice
English
@roccopela @nikunj I think we've already established that not all 10,000 hours makes one an expert.

The 996 crowd in startups often forget that acceleration is a vector..
You can work as hard as you can but if you’re headed in the wrong direction - no amount of intensity can save you.
As AI makes building easy, choose what you work on wisely!
English
@roccopela I agree with this. Becoming a tinkerer and working hard to find PMF is critical. But just performatively working hard is not going to get you there.
