This is what @lecopterHQ is solving 👀

@mschoening I thought it was just me.

Slack is just so much worse than email. Call me a boomer, I’ll die on this hill.

People are capable of far more than they think, on far shorter timelines. Problems expand to fill the time you give them.

@aaronp613 @_julianschiavo So Apple Park is the new Vatican?

@expo lfg expo 🚀 🚀 🚀

🙌 Expo is the best it's ever been, and it's about to get a lot better. We raised a Series B so we can go faster on the things that matter to you: faster builds, smoother native integrations, and the services to make end-to-end app development a delightful experience. There is a lot of work to do. This round led by @Georgian_io puts us in position to go do it!

@cormachayden_ How many snakes have you met so far?

working from australia is unfair > beach before work > friend cookouts > local food is only option > sun 300 days > no rushing > outdoor functional gyms > top talent > bike everywhere > work life balance somehow business has never grown faster

@nntaleb From now on I’ll use ciao to sign off emails

@reactiive_ @wcandillon 🔥 🔥

I've been playing with React Native WebGPU recently and it's really flipping my perspective on animations.

@jakelynch Sounds exciting!

After ten years in crypto, I’m starting something new. I’m building WeLikeSports.com with a small team of elite operators that I’ve been hoping to work with for years. On the surface, it’s a sports pool platform. But to me, it’s something else entirely. A small window into a possible future: one where money, games, and people are deeply and effortlessly intertwined. And a business model where the platform succeeds when the user succeeds. Where the ethical decision is also the economically rational decision. I’ve spent the last decade investing, trading, and helping teams build, mostly in B2B platforms. Along the way, I’ve met a lot of incredible founders and watched companies like @Morpho @Multisig and @GromaCorp grow from ideas into businesses. As an investor in both Luna and FTX, I’ve also seen a lot of things go terribly wrong. You learn a lot watching companies get built. But eventually, you get tired of cheerleading. For the last decade I’ve helped other people build their vision. Now I feel ready to build my own.

@gao_zibo athlete here and a consumer founder 🙋‍♂️

every consumer founder had an artist, athlete or musician dream. to be someone who can move culture.

@MatijaSosic thanks for sharing 👍

Our round took 250 meetings over 3 months to raise $1.5M. If we gave up after 2 weeks, Wasp would have not existed today. Keep going as long as you feel your pitch is getting better and you're meeting better partners. The whole experience shaped us and made us better founders. Our full experience in a post below.

@alexisohanian @modretro I’m building @lecopterHQ to replace media rights in sports with a new financial model. We’re in private beta, raising our pre-seed round. Would be great to connect.

Founders: If you're OBSESSED with building GREAT things, I want to fund you at the earliest possible stage. It's a bonus if you're (re)building the video game hardware I grew up on. And you've still only seen the very beginning of @modretro

@paulg Do you do office hours with startups outside YC that you have angel invested in?

In office hours with one startup today we came up with a plan that would continue to work even if the model companies had eaten all the other markets. That's a first.

Jobs after AGI: - Punter - Quarterback - Footballer - Cricketer …

@rogerdickey @lecopterHQ We already have a private beta running. Would love to walk you through it if you’re curious.

@soghaatol @lecopterHQ yep. there will absolutely be more sports.

AI will replace all knowledge work - so build a company that accelerates that or a company that helps people handle the fallout
