@itsericlay @VirioAI Virio

After 10 years of failed startups, I’ve finally found the next trillion dollar company. Introducing @VirioAI — the AI marketer for enterprise. As a teen I made content that did 1B+ views/month… …and earned <$10K. That’s when I learned: Views ≠ Pipeline Likes ≠ Revenue The problem wasn’t creating attention. It was turning that attention into revenue. Virio is built to solve exactly that: 1) Tracks your sales pipeline & marketing initiatives 2) Plans targeted content across your entire GTM team 3) Deploys messaging tailored to each decision maker To celebrate our launch out of stealth, I'm giving away our 16,456-word playbook that's generated $50M+ in pipeline. Repost & comment "Virio" and I’ll share it with you in a few minutes!

Hi

@litcapital fypm.vip

Looking to write a handful of angel checks into some pre-seed / seed stage AI startups before year end. Who are the best companies currently raising looking to spice up their cap table???

Yes, we are actively investing. In fact, today we announced @bloombergbeta has a new fund to invest – our fifth. Startups keep evolving, faster than ever, and we know the best way we can support them is by staying steady, a constant on which they can depend. So our new fund is the same as the previous ones. --- Though it’s our first new fund in a world after generative AI, vibe coding is everywhere, engineers keep getting faster thanks to that AI, and AI startups hit revenue records all the time... We're doing what we've always done. We still… > Want to serve extraordinary founders who define the future of work. > Put #foundersfirst. > Invest as early as day zero, and as late as our up-to-$1M-or-so first checks allow (i.e., pre-seed and seed). > Define the "future of work" to extend beyond productivity tools, to how work can serve everyone. > Commit to making the startup world welcome to people of all backgrounds. > Invest from a $75M fund. Our three equal investing partners: @karinklein (who continues to run the "Acela corridor"), @jamescham, and me. (Well, we did recognize that @AngKMartin is a partner -- because we need operations to be great as investors.) Modeled on Bloomberg LP, we still aspire to be the most transparent investors. And we're here whether the market goes up or down. None of that has changed. Same as 2022, same as 2019, 2016, 2013. --- What’s different is… well… we’ve got more evidence we’re right where we like to be: > 93 founders we’ve backed have become millionaires — and 24 of those have made $10M or more > Founders we’ve backed have gone on to raise more than $10B > 10 startups we’ve backed are worth more than $1B (Flexport, Replit, MasterClass to name a few!) > Startups we back outperform — worth $24M more at next round We’ve backed extraordinary founders like @Replit’s @amasad and @HayaOdeh and @Flexport’s @typesfast, where we were the first VC to say yes to both companies, along with companies like @AirspaceIntel, @CampusGrad, @MadeWithCapsule, @LambdaAPI, @LaunchDarkly, @MasterClass, @Netlify, @ShieldAITech, @weights_biases (just acquired by @Coreweave), and more. We’ve also been busy since last time, but since X (in which we are small shareholders after they acquired Laskie) may penalize me for links, I won't tell you that here :) Go look at the one named after a color and what's in the air for that one. Our firm is more than our partners and today, our team includes @AngKMartin, @loriberenberg, @amytam01, @KB2o22, @moraaonyonka (and assists from @megmbolger!). We of course remain close with those who have worked on our team, including @shivon @strickland_dan @theamberyang @minney_cat @harleysugarman @sydneyjtiedt @lisawehden @ShainaConners @morganpolotan @cody_mccauley among others! --- And we’re forever grateful to @MikeBloomberg, a founder backing us so we can back more founders. Cycles continue! We want to be the first text for early-stage companies, partners through your journey, working with winners. If you know a founder who’s a great fit for us, please share this! "Yes, we're actively investing."

@roybahat @BloombergBeta Wooooo

I love being a content creator and trying to earn a living wage on social media apps!!!

BREAKING: Trump says: "For every U.S. Citizen born after December 31, 2024, before January 1, 2029, the federal government will make a one-time contribution of $1,000 into a tax-deferred account that will track the overall stock market."

It’s not legal lol

@AmandaMGoetz Credit scores need a makeover

Story time: I’ve made over $600k in the past year yet my credit score just hit 450 because I made a critical mistake when selling my last business. I share this vulnerably from a place of embarrassment but also to hopefully help someone from making the same mistake. So if your inclination is to shame me in the comments, I hope you think twice. Background: House of Wise was a D2C company doing over $1m in sales in the second year. In 2022 we were growing faster than ever but had taken VC capital that set us on a path of growth that required more investment than we could raise in the current climate. We were running out of money and needed someone who could support the growth. We made the difficult decision to sell the company in an equity deal to a buyer who would take on the debt and support the growth. Deal went through. A year later I stepped away from the company as the new owners differed in opinions of where the brand should go. But here’s the mistake. Because everyone was operating in good faith in the beginning and making the credit card payments ($80k in credit card debt)…… I didn’t prioritize the “change of authorizing officer” on the Chase business accounts. I assumed 2 things: 1) because it was a business account, and I no longer owned the business, then it would be ok 2) the new owner would continue to pay down the debt per our deal agreement Well it’s now 3 years later and the new owners stopped paying the credit cards. And because they stopped paying….Chase won’t allow me to formally change the authorizing officer. I’ve submitted the paperwork 3 times and their rejection says “can’t change owner with outstanding payments” So I’m stuck with $80k of debt I’m personally liable for. I either have to 1) go after the new owners and pay a ton in legal fees Or 2) settle the debt and take the credit hit Hindsight bias - I should have made this priority #1 during the deal but I had never sold a company before and genuinely thought I was protected legally through the transaction docs. (Which said I no longer owned the company nor the debt) I am learning a valuable and expensive lesson in ownership and transactions. I hope this helps someone avoid this mistake. Business is like a marriage. You never think it will get contentious when you are in love until you go through a divorce.

@TaylorLorenz @AriCohn @jess_miers @AttorneyNora Excited to read — also great job on bad influence almost finished watching!!

I wrote 7k words on Utah's new law claiming to "protect child influencers," why it probably won't do that, and how it raises serious free speech concerns! Thank u to @AriCohn @jess_miers @AttorneyNora & all the other brilliant experts who spoke to me. usermag.co/p/utah-protect…

@LosAngeles_Scan Felt nothing in Brentwood!

Earthquake alert for LA - first time I’ve gotten one of these before it happens

More and more teenage girls will have experiences similar to Miley for doing normal teenage girl things as we live more of our lives online. Think about it
