Father’s Day update: currently watching KPop Demon Hunters.
My daughters picked it, obviously.
Annoyingly, they may have elite taste.

@snowmaker @mntruell Accidentally perfect founder loop:
User churns
Founder asks why
User says “wait no I love it”
Founder tries to hire them
Customer support, but make it company-building.
English
A common problem we hear from founders trying to "talk to their users" is that their users don't respond.
Well, they're more likely to respond if you write them a very good message. Check out this email that @mntruell used to send his users - this how to do it.
English
Building a startup is mostly switching between:
“This could be huge.”
“No one understands this.”
“Actually I don’t understand this.”
“Wait, this could be huge.”
I'm on 3 today lol

@resend Trying to explain “AI workspace for business growth” without sounding like I fed a SaaS landing page into a blender.
check it out on http://localhost:4173/ 🤣

@paulg Maybe the Jobs-shaped gap is not invention. It’s taste. Search, education, email, and diagnosis are all being pulled forward by AI, but the winner may be whoever turns that into one coherent product worldview.
English
I haven't read this for about 10 years, but I just looked at it after someone linked to it and I was surprised how many of these things are starting to happen. Still no next Steve Jobs yet though.

@bryantchou Ploy looks very cool. The video for Escher Reality needed a second pass.
Really good insight for the experience. Will you be offering a cli or api access to ploy?
English
Come watch roast the YC Partners original sites!
And get a peek of ploy's insane capabilities.

Bryant Chou (@bryantchou) co-founded Webflow, which today powers around 1% of all websites on the internet. Now he's back in the current YC batch with @ployai, an AI-powered website and marketing platform that doesn't just build your site — it connects to your analytics, CRM, and search console to optimize your marketing while you sleep. In this episode of the @LightconePod, he explains how he built Ploy to be “anti slop,” how building today compares to his first startup, and why founders with domain expertise are making a comeback. 0:45 — What Ploy Is Building 2:21 — Redesigning Old YC Startup Websites 6:01 — Better Design, Better Storytelling 7:08 — Democratizing Marketing and Growth 10:39 — Rebuilding a Website in 75 Seconds 14:04 — Your Website as a Company Brain 18:23 — Building the Anti-Slop Design Engine 21:01 — Why Bryant Came Back to the Web 24:04 — Building in a Competitive Market 27:55 — The Future of AI-Native Marketing 34:18 — Why Experienced Founders Have an Edge

@brettcalhounn If company maturation timelines are stretching, should founder vesting stretch with them, or should we rethink the whole alignment model?
English
Five- and six-year vesting schedules are becoming more common in businesses that take longer to mature. Four years made sense when exits happened faster. We live in a different world now.

@rxhit05 It would pay more than most people build in publis startups, and would certainly be better on a CV.
But its probably only a typo.
English
Are you building in public and making more from your X account than your startup(s)?
If so you are probably building for the wrong audience.
English
@sovatwt Good going. I was trying to figure out how to get that view, turns out I need more followers lol.
English
10 days ago, I created this X account.
Since then:
- I've posted a lot.
- I've engaged with a lot of people.
- I've followed many people.
- Many people followed me back.
And these analytics are proof of that.
But more importantly, they've shown me where I need to improve.
- I need to engage more.
- I need to create better posts.
- I need to reach more people.
- I want people to know me.
- I want people to think.
"Yeah, this guy is doing something interesting."
So in the coming days, I'll keep showing up, learning, building, and posting.
And one last thing...
Thank you for the 3 shares❤️😂

@jackprice you could use something like github.com/pbakaus/impecc… or since you are saving so much time on dev you can spend more time on design, creating a design system etc.
English
What's the best way to make your vibe coded app NOT look like a vibe coded app?
Too many people have this issue
Genuinely curious to hear your thoughts

I didn't think I would see the day when I would be too young for YC! youtube.com/watch?v=8OOuCn…

Describe being a startup founder in one word!

The LinkedIn Engagement Farm.
Water the hot takes.
Prune the thought leadership.
Harvest the likes, comments and reposts.
Then wonder why the pipeline plant died in the corner.
We don’t grow demand.
We grow conversations about demand.
English
@uday_devops You will finish more tasks before you finish your tokens
English
@mynameisyahia Is @conductor_build not primarily vibed? Perhaps the correct view is to spend more time and loops on those parts
English
You can’t vibe-code products for developers.
They smell it from a mile away.
The landing page, docs, dashboard, API design, error messages, loading states, all of it matters.
Devs need to feel like you actually gave a shit.
English
Not every startup needs funding. If you can be profitable from close to day 1 and do the majority of the work yourself, stay bootstrapped, unless you think an accelerator or VC can help with early credibility.
Things can change, it can be both helpful and a hinderance.
An example is @veedstudio they were bootstrapped with one founder giving half his salary to the other to get going. Later they took on funding anyway.
Some of the latest companies into YC, were more established than the funding suggests would be valuable before getting in. But they now have a badge of honour.
On a side note, I will usually check a new tools "investors" to see if they have funding - not always a great marker but a decent proxy that 1) they won'y go bust soon and 2) they have a decent tool as they have had growth for a 2nd or 3rd round.

@NoamShazeer Hope it works out, and you bring some amazing things for us all to use
English
I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining OpenAI and look forward to working with the exceptional team there.
It was a difficult decision to move on. I’m incredibly proud of the amazing team at Google and everything we’ve built together. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with all of you.

@garrytan Could you not help them set up a "sovereign fund", give significant equity every round based on usual milestone.
Founders who are happy with the program and the deal would apply.
Everyone else who believes in capitalism can get on with business as usual.
English
Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to seize 50% of any AI startup that crosses $200M in revenue.
The same anti-prosperity bloc spent the year trying to ban startup acquisitions, blocking the only exit 85% of founders ever get.
This is a war on building startups in America.
