2x founder/CEO, building the system of action for conversation data @spinach_ai (YC W22). Taking it one day at a time 1.01^365=38








שאלתי כאן לפני כמה שבועות על מוצרי תמלול פגישות שטובים גם בעברית, אז אעדכן שאחרי שבדקנו כמה, התחלנו לעבוד עם Spinach.ai שעושה עבודה טובה מאוד. ביקשתי ממתן המנכ״ל שייתן לנו הנחה כי אנחנו סטארטאפ, אז סיכמנו שאם אפרגן להם כאן נקבל שלושה חודשים חינם. אז אני מפרגן באמת ובתמים, וגם חסכתי לנו איזה 200 דולר. כל דולר נחשב! הנה התרגום האוטומטי לאנגלית מהעדכון של הצוות הבוקר:




Coinbase CEO Explains “Reverse Prompting” and the Rise of the AI CEO @brian_armstrong: “One of the big pushes we made in the last year was we got our own internal hosted AI model that was connected to all of our data sources, right?” “So it's like every Slack message, every Google doc, Salesforce data, Confluence, you know.” “So now the data is all aggregated and I've started to ask it really… it's not just like prompting it, ‘Hey, can you write this kind of memo for me,’ or something.” “I'm asking these AI agents now, ‘As CEO, what should I be aware of in the company that I might not be aware of?’ And it'll tell me, ‘Did you know that there's actually disagreement on this team about the strategy?’ And I was like, actually, I didn't know that.” “This is like reverse prompting. So instead of telling the AI agent what you want it to do, you ask it what you should be thinking more about.” @Jason: “It's a mentor. It's a coach.” Brian: “Yeah. Like, what could make me a better CEO? And it's like, ‘Well, I looked at how you spent your time in the last quarter and here's how you said that you wanted to spend it, but you actually spent 32% of your time on this instead of 20%.’” “I've asked it other questions like, ‘What's the thing that I changed my mind on the most over the last year?’ Things like that.” “It'll prompt you with information you should be thinking about instead of the other way around.” Thanks to our partner for making this happen!: Our episode is sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange - a modern marketplace and exchange for building the future.

most venture-backed companies end up in the same place: raised 3-4M seed (or 10-15M series A) built real product got to 300-500K ARR (or 2-3M ARR) VCs stopped caring founders stuck with high pref stack, can't raise more, can't exit, can't even shut down cleanly these aren't bad businesses they're just wrong cap tables the companies could throw off 500K-1M in profit annually hire 2-3 more people and grow to 2-3M ARR actually build something valuable but they're trapped in venture math that doesn't work anymore the discourse only covers two outcomes: unicorn or failure nobody talks about the third path: decent business, wrong structure thousands of quality founders stuck running companies VCs wrote off not because they're bad operators because they picked wrong market size or wrong cofounder or raised too early


Having some AI follow you into your zoom meetings or google meet for taking notes is the digital equivalent of showing up to a meeting with your fly down

There was some point in time, I dunno, between 15 and 18 months ago ... When 2,500+ founders all woke up at the same time, with a singular thought: "LET'S BUILD A NOTETAKER APP!"
