One lesson that I've had to learn.. is that you get what you negotiate. Not what you *think* you deserve.

On Supply-Constrained Versus Demand-Constrained Startups: As I've met with ~100 founders over the last few months, I'm struck with one dichotomy. Limited Demand: Most live in the world of "unlimited supply, limited demand." This is the normal world. They haven't found something that everyone wants right now, yet. They work hard to drive growth and keep up with the stereotype of outlier companies. They throw paid ads, influencers and dark patterns at the problem. Growth keeps up but it's not natural. Customers emerge outside of the ICP. The cracks of churn show. Unlimited Demand: Then there's the bizarro world of "unlimited demand, limited supply." Basically, anything that falls into the agent stack (from chips to data centers to models to neoclouds to inference clouds to observability to evals to orchestration). Here, the competition is off the charts. But the reality is that everyone is supply-constrained, so anyone that has supply is crushing it. Different Paths: In demand constrained businesses (which are most businesses!), many are best served to grow more naturally and not attempt to mimic the growth rates of the unlimited demand cohort. It's like me trying to imitate Dechambeau's golf swing. I really should shoot for Happy Gilmore's. By contrast, people looking at founding, working in or investing in supply-constrained categories should worry less about competition and more about the companies' access to supply. One of the biggest mistakes people mistake right now is confusing these two cohorts for each other.

@cjpedregal 4. Context before calls changes quickly. A brief can be stale within the day. How to ensure the latest is up to date, people change roles faster than ever, economic is thrashing - so you need a log of change, and the context to say - here's whats new now and what has changed.

Very excited for this launch! I highly recommend connecting your Gmail to Granola for better briefs. Some stats: - We pre-generate them overnight so they are ready in the morning - We generate a personalized brief for every person (even in the same meeting) - It takes the agent 3.6 mins on avg to research and write a single brief - It costs us ~6 cents per brief (64k input tokens on avg) - We use 3 different models (one for research, web search, and writing) The briefs definitely get stuff wrong still, but keep getting better. Please send feedback!

No more frantic Googling right before a meeting. Introducing Briefs. Granola searches your emails, the web, and previous meeting notes. Then writes 3 bullets with just what you need to know. Join your next meeting feeling prepared.

@cjpedregal @PPLXfinance @p0 3. Is Granola's aim to be the center of gravity, deeply immersive briefs that educate / action prep, or is it to just provide snackable briefs ahead of calls. Thats a question for y'all.

@cjpedregal I'm a B2B guy so take this with just my domain expertise: 1. Microsoft Apps ) 2. A really key part that is missing is understanding the financial and latest news of the company. Today I use @PPLXfinance and Perplexity API to automate my briefs. great if @p0

@cjpedregal 3. I think larger question. Is Granola the new center of gravity for prepping me (given CRM, context everywhere) or is it the helpful sidekick giving me the bit of context I need so I am ready to go. What is snackable vs really digestive and immersive

Waiting to board a United flight for LA literally standing now in long lines for nearly one hour. No explanation. The plane has been at the gate for a very long time. No one complains, everyone is resigned, apathetic. It sweeps over us in such situations that of course no one will rebel against a tyrannical government—there isn’t the will or energy. Will we stand here for another hour? Anything is possible.
