Who makes the best app/feature launch videos? - Two week turnaround - Mostly in-app content - High/flexible budget DM me

@SenSanders ONESHOTTED

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

@ShubhAgrawal26 Yup

great hook - there’s a few things you can do in your launch video to tremendously increase the chances of success which a lot of marketers never talk about. your first frame needs to be extremely out of ordinary - something weird, something like so different that it makes you stop and watch while saying “what the f..!” but there’s 2 ways to make it even better - (1) Make the hook frame something that you can tie to the broader narrative , something that acts as a physical representation of an abstract idea. (2) At the end of your video - reference that object again (not done here) foreshadowing gives incredible comfort - it ties it all together. standup comedians do it - they start with a joke, do their entire one hour bit and then the last joke is about the same topic as the first joke they made. same with movies - things get shown in the beginning and also at the end for some symbolic meaning. ——- I couldn’t do this for our launch - but my original script had my CEO standing with a real parrot on this head. that was the hook - random guy in new york with a colorful parrot on his head?? and in the end - the parrot was supposed to be on his shoulder, be fed a quick bite and ended something like “with Valley - ur messages are personalized and genuinely unique. so ur not just a parrot in someone else’s inbox” end. but yeah - we couldn’t find one in time.

@BenjiBacker @dillydilly75 How much is spent before a bridge is built on consultants and studies? That’s likely most of the waste

@dillydilly75 @Hunter_Weiss …that’s what I’m criticizing…

While we're discussing wildlife overpasses, let's discuss why they're important: They prevent ~97% of wildlife collisions They singlehandedly save wildlife populations (and migration patterns) They can save our country $10B per year BUT...they (should) cost $5-15M, not $100M

@dillydilly75 @BenjiBacker Billions wasted***

@BenjiBacker @Hunter_Weiss Benji, are you not understanding what the point is?? We understand that they can be very important. The point is that tens of millions of dollars are being stolen from US citezens.....on ONE bridge. ..."also great!" is missing the point lmao

We raised a $27M Series A to replace the spreadsheets and human duct tape behind $100 trillion in global assets. Fund administration is the invisible backbone of private equity and venture capital - and it’s broken. Why? Financial data is scattered, stale, and locked inside legacy providers. Books take forever to close. Basic questions about your own fund take days to answer. So we rebuilt the general ledger, waterfall engine, investor portal, and portfolio management from scratch. One single source of truth for your firm. Our AI agents read emails, propose journal entries, and extract portfolio updates in seconds. Our CPAs review every output. Today, we administer $15 billion in assets - and we’re just getting started. Every fund CFO keeps getting asked: how will you adopt AI? Now you have an answer. Run your firm in real-time with @hanoverpark. –- Excited to partner with Jake Saper at @emergencecap @peterjhebert at Lux, @chadbyers/@pratyushbuddiga at Susa and CFOs at the largest private equity firms to forge this future.

Lets go 🚀

you killed small businesses in California with covid orders Early Yelp data (as of September 2020) tracked business listings and reported more than 19,000 permanent closures in California (across various business types, many small). Nationally, Yelp noted that about 60% of tracked closures had become permanent by then, with California among the hardest-hit states (e.g., high rates in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco). Los Angeles County (a major part of California) saw around 7,500 small businesses permanently shut down, according to some economic impact reports. Academic research using California Department of Tax and Fee Administration data (covering sales tax filers, a near-universe of businesses) found a significant spike in permanent closure rates in Q2 and Q3 2020, disproportionately affecting small businesses compared to large ones. Closure rates rose sharply early in the pandemic but partially rebounded later in 2020. Small firms were hit harder initially, leading to greater market concentration among larger businesses. Surveys and reports (e.g., from the California Restaurant Association) indicated thousands of restaurants closed permanently, with early predictions of up to 30% of the state's restaurants (a heavily small-business sector) at risk or actually closing. Broader surveys (e.g., Federal Reserve, Census Bureau Small Business Pulse, and others) showed high rates of temporary closures (often 30–50% at peaks) turning permanent for a subset, with over 6% of some sampled California firms closed for good by mid-2020 in certain studies, and many more at risk without aid. Some local or sector-specific figures: San Francisco had high ongoing closure rates (e.g., ~48% of small businesses still closed or affected into 2021), and East Bay areas saw over 11,000 inactive locations (temporary + permanent) from March 2020–July 2021.

Small business owners bet everything on themselves. They show up every single day and put everything on the line. I know because I was one.

@nickshirleyy @GavinNewsom another incredible ratio

@GavinNewsom Gavin Newsoms California: - Largest wealth exodus out of a state in America history - Largest hospice and home health fraud - $24+ billion lost for the homeless - Highest gas prices in the country - Free healthcare for illegal migrants Focus on your own state while you can..

Donald Trump’s America: - GDP growth down - 145,000 blue collar jobs lost - Medicaid and food stamps cut - Massive tax breaks for billionaires - A war with no endgame It’s a wrecking ball presidency.

@elonmusk LMAOOOO now every day we get to see Gavin squirm more about his state and get ratiod

Wow

@chadbyers love to hear it

@Hunter_Weiss I did, and I loved it 🫶

We run our entire firm on Hanover. Over $1b in assets. Fund admin is often an afterthought for most capital allocators. It shouldn’t be. Bringing your data and workflows into the AI world unlocks immediate alpha.

@chrishlad @hanoverpark @Mr_CONFDNTL @prestonpalmo you made it out of the hostile employee takeover situation in the office

@Hunter_Weiss @hanoverpark @Mr_CONFDNTL @prestonpalmo You crushed

Epic to work with @chrishlad and the @hanoverpark team on this video Congrats on the $27M fundraise and the explosive growth of Hanover Park Always great to work with @Mr_CONFDNTL on production and @prestonpalmo with design/art direction

@prestonpalmo @chrishlad @hanoverpark @Mr_CONFDNTL you cooked

@Hunter_Weiss @chrishlad @hanoverpark @Mr_CONFDNTL Great team, great project!

@SahilBloom Chris is a beast

True Story: I invested in the pre-seed when this wasn’t even an idea. My simple thesis was that Chris was a complete lunatic who would find a way to win. I was right—and the results are starting to show. My lesson: Invest in people, not ideas.

@danielcberk @nikitabier Feed had 20 ads today

@Hunter_Weiss @nikitabier Correct

.@nikitabier now that there’s paid partnerships on posts, plz roll out an option to turn off seeing any posts on feed with paid partnership tag. If people pay for X for no ads, a paid partnership is an ad still and I don’t want to see it
