Building Orbit. For founders who'd rather build than chase receipts and finance admin. Sharing the journey + what I've learnt. @orbitmoney_ | ex-@eclipsefi

The Odyssey was amazing
Some of the scenes broke my ear drums though

@ohdatskate Sei was very similar with the exclusive bullshit.
There seemed to be a playbook for scamming and some L1 founders made a killing from it
English
was part of the team who also had "exclusive" movement offer, the requirements were ridiculous and the deal never happened, but we had to hit the kpis across their ecosystem and beyond (the whole story is too dirty to post on this app)
rip movement labs, you taught me a lot about crimes and rugging the builders. kudos to Torab and the remaining members tho

an anecdote about rushi since the original mvmt labs is in the news today filing bankruptcy in early 2025 before initia launched, we were working with a team that was big on Aptos and already deployed on Initia devnet rushi then promised that team a non-trivial percentage of the token supply as app incentives to deploy on movement, but with a catch, it had to be exclusive (they could stay on aptos but not launch on initia) next day he tweeted something that said: "will never ever do signed exclusivities"... it was an interesting time navigating a well-capitalized founder that was a persistent liar but managed to garner so much hype before things imploded, I have many more stories like this thankfully I have found the majority of founders in this space earnest and keen to win together play stupid games, win stupid prizes

the problem with tech twitter is that it's truly a bubble.
you could be working on your first project, see 100+ other founders talking about making >$10k MRR and feel like you're the only one in the world that isn't getting "rich" with AI.
the reality is that if you're building with AI, you're instantly among <1% of the population and if you've even made a single dollar off of something you've built, that number drops significantly.
keep in mind, most people are using AI as a search engine, doctor, therapist, etc - not to build a SAAS.
don't get dissuaded, you're too early.

NEW: Just 2.2% of U.S. households currently pay for an AI subscription — PNC Bank.

SEO numbers still steady, now going to run some optimisations to see if we can increase the clicks + conversions.
+ new tools then we will a/b a few offer positioning with existing traffic

@YoungGoldcouk I'm actually considering it, going to give it a spin, mostly it's the UX changes, I've gotten pretty used to my claude setup ect.
English
@simonch00 Just my 2 cents, i would consider the move.
I've been saying it for the last couple of months, especially when xAI first made a bid to acquire Cursor.
I think its just a matter or time before it beats frontier models.
English
Who's tested Grok 4.5 yet?
If it's as good as I hear I'll definitely consider moving aways from Claud max towards Cursor/grok
English
It hurts to realise we aren't the main character of objective reality.
To admit this is to look directly into our own insignificance in the grand scheme of things.

Another financial year done with projects for 56 companies completed.
A middle of the road year with highs and lows. Would prefer a bit more stability but you have to roll with the punches. A few (personal) notes in the thread below:

@danielcberk Reddit I imagine is pretty bad too?
Look at the Elon hate on there it's insane

I post about rich people on every major platform, and without fail the platform that gets the angriest by a mile that rich people exist is Threads and it’s not even close.
English
@_ZaricX I think it might have been an algo change of sorts.
It was high for a while then tanked, then picked right back up
English
A year ago, with a mix of excitement and fear, I sent the largest term sheet of my life to an unstoppable founder determined to change history. I knew if I didn’t step up, the company might not survive — the ambition was too bold. It’s wild how few believed in what now feels so obvious.
English
When an exceptionally smart or disruptive person (Or even a technology) comes along and proves that the old way of doing things is inneficient or obsolete, this tend to shatter people's identities.
If this outlier proves that a certain industry, belief system, or lifestyle is pointless, everyone that built their life, career, and self-worth on this old system feels attacked.
To protect their own egos, the crowd will initially try to destroy the disruptor rather than adjust and admit their own worldview is flawed.

@sergeynazarovx i think a lot of people finally figured out that selling to people who dont make money is not that smart
English
@tferriss But question is:
Talent, regulation and can you actually build cheaply there.
Or would you manufacture rockets overseas then launch in nz.

Why am I investing in aerospace innovation in New Zealand? One reason: you can launch and iterate 10x faster. The key is airspace. Check out Christchurch vs. Florida images below. Excited to be involved with this one.
Stefan@Stefan__Powell
Why is New Zealand a hotbed for Aerospace innovation, especially rockets and high-speed flight? Airspace. Even White Sands Missile Range is not wide enough to turn around a Mach 5 vehicle in a 3g turn. We have thousands of miles of open air and sea space. Almost nothing between us, Antarctica and South America. And a test site only 45min drive south of our headquarters. This is a structural advantage Dawn will carry forward almost indefinitely. This is why we build the world’s highest-performance aircraft in New Zealand.

@parmita The "high speed rail in California" was good :') hahaha
