The Cap Table

Tech deserves some swag. There’s no digestible form of tech media aimed directly at a Gen Z audience. That’s why we came together to make The Cap Table, a bi-weekly talk show that will dive into tech, AI, startups, and everything in between. Episode 1 out now. Link in bio.

.@nathaneo_j and @_2woot are the first two Black founders on TheCapTable! They themselves didn't think it was possible to raise 10M, but they still took a risk , being role models on what is possible. They hope to pave the way in shedding light amongst young entrepreneurs on what is possible if they are resilient and determined to achieve their goals.

LinkedIn has an issue! It's becoming a larp platform essentially, instead of a professional connection platform. This is where Series.so excels, made to be the best professional platform to help connect people with the same values @_2woot @nathaneo_j

What is series.so ? What does it do ? @nathaneo_j and @_2woot give some insight on what their brand is about. "It is the professional network for Gen Z", implementing Ai to study what you're personally working on . It uses a Tinder carousels function, with a LinkedIn use case, combining these you get you a connection reply rate of 45% with the people that have similar goals as yourself.

BREAKING: 24-year-old ex-OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner has reportedly been forced to sell all public holdings from his fund, Situational Awareness, to Citadel after suffering steep losses. Aschenbrenner is the engaged to Anthropic's Chief of Staff.

two yale students started a podcast interviewing founders. then realized nearly every success story came down to the same thing: someone knew someone. so @nathaneojohnson and @_2woot decided to build that friend-of-a-friend themselves. their company, series.so, is an ai-powered social network that lives entirely inside imessage, makes warm intros when there’s mutual value on both sides, and is taking direct aim at linkedin by replacing cold networking with ai-powered relationships. we sat down with nathaneo and sean to talk about going from interviewing founders to becoming them, raising their first $3.1 million in 14 days, balancing being full-time yale students while running a multi-million dollar business (congrats on graduating btw) and most importantly: being the FIRST startup to start the abg cmo trend. plus: filming a reality show as a GTM strategy, opening their nyc office, and much much more.

Is Anthropic Undervalued?

.@sideshift_app wants 100 Million people earning on their platform for their longterm goal They look to expand their opportunities provided on Sideshift, owning the entire value chain/creator economy. This will then allow them to be the head of the snake on distribution regarding UGC/social media marketing

A U.K. employment tribunal ruled that a remote worker who suffered from anxiety was discriminated against after her employer refused to let her keep her camera off during a virtual training session. Laura Tait, a travel consultant at Holiday Extras, told her managers that appearing on video made her feel “super anxious” and overwhelmed, but she was instructed to turn her camera on anyway. The tribunal found that the company failed to make reasonable adjustments for her disability and ruled in her favor, with compensation to be decided at a later hearing. The ruling does not mean employers can never require cameras to be on during virtual meetings. Instead, it reinforces that companies must consider reasonable accommodations for employees with protected disabilities on a case-by-case basis. As remote and hybrid work continue to evolve, the decision could become an important precedent for how employers balance workplace policies with disability rights, especially when it comes to video meetings and other digital work requirements.

I fear the @nyjets have beat you to this idea

.@sideshift_app are the "best pivoters/adapters on earth" This is a self proclaimed statement from @nicholasnlawton, as they try and build the UGC monopoly. They are actively changing their strategies on UGC, since UGC is actively changing alongside social media marketing. @ManilowOliver adds onto this saying UGC is the best way to test on paid ads.
