Announcing my new thing: I'm launching a new public venture fund USVC is built by AngelList with @naval shaping our investment strategy in the technology companies building our future And unlike traditional venture funds, everyone can invest along with just $500:

@bonatsos @generalcatalyst Legend! Loved our meets and your unique optimistic founder friendly instincts. Best of luck in whatever you do next!

After 15 wonderful years @generalcatalyst I am moving on to new adventures. The best days for GC are ahead! Super grateful to every single one of my teammates that I had the fortune to work with over the years. I learned a lot. Very thankful to our limited partners too for their long-term support. Equally importantly, it's been the privilege of a lifetime to work with so many inspiring tech startup founders from the very early days.

@Aazarshad video

I analyzed 1,000+ winning video ads that stayed live for 30+ days across 7-, 8-, and 9-figure Meta accounts. 14 months of research. 50+ hours analyzing every hook, visual, and psychology trigger. Here's what I discovered: The highest-performing video ads follow 9 core principles that most marketers completely miss: → The hook type that outperforms everything else (it's not what you think) → Why certain word choices stop thumbs mid-scroll → The visual pattern that dominates high-spend accounts → The storytelling approach that wins 9 times out of 10 → How top brands structure their first 5 seconds The data reveals patterns you can copy immediately. No matter your budget or niche. I've turned this into a complete video guide with real examples from brands spending $1.5M+ monthly. Want the full breakdown? Like this post and comment "video" I'll send you the video analysis immediately.

@samruddhi_mokal Notch

I noticed something weird about the ads that get 10M+ views. While most brands randomly animate everything hoping something works, viral ads follow a precise psychology pattern. Here's what I discovered: → They never animate text (protects cognitive load - Daniel Kahneman's research) → They focus motion on ONE primary element (leverages attention theory from William James) → They use specific timing that triggers dopamine release (based on BF Skinner's variable reward schedules) Most animated ads fail because they create visual chaos that overloads working memory. The brands crushing it with animated ads use Notch's Animated Ads feature, where they're giving away a master prompt system built on decades of behavioral psychology research from Stanford and MIT. No more guessing what motion will work. No more paying $5K for animations that flop. No more static ads getting buried in feeds. I'm giving away their complete Animated Ads Master Prompt guide that reveals the exact animation psychology. This is the same system top agencies use to create scroll-stopping animated creatives that convert. Want the viral animation playbook? Comment "NOTCH" + RT + Like I'll DM you the master prompt guide (Must be following so I can DM) Skip this and keep wondering why your animated ads don't work.

@samruddhi_mokal Sora

SORA 2 + Claude + Perplexity is absolutely WILD This combo is absolutely insane for generating videos that actually convert. No agencies. No production crews. No creative directors charging $500/hour. Just three AI tools working together like a professional video team. Here's how it works: → Perplexity researches your product + competitors + winning ad angles → Claude analyzes research and writes 10+ video prompts optimized for conversion → Sora 2 generates multiple video variations from Claude's prompts → Claude scores each video against psychological triggers and platform requirements → Best performers get refined and regenerated automatically Perfect for brands testing creative at scale without burning budget. The power is in the combo: Perplexity = market intelligence most creative teams miss Claude = prompts that understand psychology and platform algorithms Sora 2 = production quality that looks like you spent $5K per video While others are briefing agencies for next month's content, you're testing 50 variations this afternoon. Compare different angles. Find what converts. Scale immediately. Like, RT + reply with "SORA" and I'll DM the complete 3-tool system (Must be following so I can DM) Skip this and keep paying agencies $20K/month for 5 videos.

@deedydas This will be brutal for talent looking to join startups!

@jussil Sorry to see it go!! You and team put your heart and soul into it and gave it your best!! Proud of you and team ❤️

Noice is shutting down.  Writing those four words stings like hell - as it should.  But at the same time - what a journey over six years! From initial idea to a full fledged next-gen livestreaming platform. These years been full of crazy high ambition to pioneer a truly innovative platform that merged watching livestreams with multiplayer gaming and free-to-play monetization. Working and building with incredible co-founders and team mates and partnering with so many fabulous creators, who made Noice their home! I’m so incredibly proud to have worked again with so many awesome team members with whom we previously built Applifier and scaled it as part of Unity - and also having found so many new and fantastic colleagues on Noice’s journey. Thank you ever so much for your passion, smiles and incredible team work in pursuing Noice’s vision and fighting to the very end to make it work! You are *truly* amazing! If you are hiring and looking for some of the best talent a startup can have, please send me a message and I’ll get you connected! My most sincere thank you to all of our investors for your trust and support. I’m sorry that this time the startup rollercoaster didn’t work out.  Today is one of those days that I never want to have. But the days, weeks, months and years leading up to this day are full of extraordinary moments that I will cherish, because I got to again be part of a fantastic startup team building truly incredible and ambitious stuff.  Thank you all so much ❤️.
