Building @receiptsxyz to transform workouts into rewards.



After buying broadcast dotcom for $8,000 in 1997, @mcuban went on a domain name buying spree when he realized he could use simple URLs to route traffic to the site. As a result, he says he now owns democracy dotcom, baseball dotcom, mrpresident dotcom, sandwich dotcom, finalfour dotcom, and more. "You name it, I've bought it."


Prediction: In less than 90 days, all channels that we thought were safe from spam & automation will be so flooded that they will no longer be usable in any functional sense: iMessage, phone calls, Gmail. And we will have no way to stop it.

The two hardest people for a CEO to manage out are: 1) A co-founder who isn’t working out 2) The Head of HR / People You’d think #2 would be easy. It should be. It rarely is. I know this advice violates the “VCs don’t do anything” meme, but having an operationally savvy VC help you handle these exits can save an enormous amount of brain damage. Not because you can’t do it but because you don't need to waste the calories. These situations are often irrationally emotional. Having someone neutral and detached often makes it far easier for everyone involved.

The future of “stuff” will be bifurcated. You’ll either own a maximally digital, AI-enabled thing, or a maximally vintage analog thing. Everything in between will live in an undesirable uncanny valley.

I met a founder the other day who raised $500K and used $350K to buy a hyper-specific domain name. I told him he should've validated the product before buying it -- and then change the name afterwards. He said "Great, I'll do it for my next company that isn't bankrupt."
