@MatSilverstein @tobi @obisidan very cool!

Now paying Granola $18/mo to upload my meeting audio to their servers. So I built my own thing. It's 7 MB. Everything runs locally. Works with @tobi's QMD for super fast search, PARA method second brain setup for organized people, projects, entities, @obisidan, CLI, claude code, codex, Claude Desktop. Before a call with Biff it pulls your last 12 conversations, shows you pricing came up 5 times in 2 weeks, and reminds you that you owe Biff a doc from Friday. After the call it asks if you got what you came for. You just ask "what did Biff say about pricing last week" and it pulls from your transcripts. No API key needed, use your existing subs. The meeting prep feature came from messing around with @garrytan's gstack skills. His /office-hours pattern forces you to be specific instead of accepting vague answers. I stole that idea and applied it to meeting prep and post-meeting debrief. It's called Minutes. Rust, whisper.cpp, Tauri. MIT licensed. First real release on github.

- reading your favorite books out loud until it rewrites both your brains - learning knife techniques to make your pickles extra crunchy - spending an hour every morning making steak and eggs - doing things cause you feel like you deserve a great life. Not cause you want some vision do greatness

10/10 would recommend crying to laufey in a waymo. cheaper than therapy and far more cathartic.

I hope the next viral trend is empathy and critical thinking skills

Told my therapist my goal this year is to be less anxious but only in a mild way because i still need to be somewhat neurotic to succeed

"personalization" ≠ "taste" personalization is an n=1 problem your only job is to make that 1 person happy taste is an n=many problem it's judgment in the absence of correctness everyone needs personalization not everyone has taste we need to solve both

short-form content is a net negative for the world

when you talk to someone irl you vet if their opinions are valid. after you vet them usually you choose whether or not you want to listen to their thoughts. short-form social media breaks that filter. it exposes you to opinions of people you wouldn't normally pay attention to irl

Does anyone have an invite code for polymarket 🥺

@hiddnest inspiring~ thank you for sharing!

we got rejected by YC 6 times. now we just wrapped the F25 batch. first 4 times, we didn't even get an interview. next app, we made top 10% in review. still no. then we interviewed. got no because [no moat] next time, interviewed again. got another no because [too much revenue in korea] ...and this time, we got [yes] each rejection was stressful. sometimes i didn't get it like "how did they get in?" but it tightened our team and it led us to realize what we're good at and what story we have. my advice: keep growing your product and business while you keep applying to YC. maybe you'll grow so much that even when YC says yes, you won’t need it ;)

@Davidjpark96 your journey is so inspiring, congratulations!

$10M ARR!!!!!!!!!!! 🥳 so happy :') this was by far the hardest milestone to hit, i was stuck in the $8M-$9M ARR range for over a year but thankfully, i think we're finally ready for the next stage of growth $15M ARR 🔜

Teehee

@sab8a market insights from social feeds! my cofounder & i are both full time and previously bootstrapped a biz to 20k arr :-) big fan and will be in london next week!!

You got rejected from YC? I did too. Here's how it turned out: 2019: Rejected by YC (twice) 2020: Got our first paying user 2021: Bootstrapped to $6M ARR 2024: Crossed $40M ARR 2025: Shipped our own AI models 2026: Scaling AI-first video co. to $100M ARR If you're a founder who got rejected, I know it hurts. But, don't let it stop you. Focus on your product, your customers & growing your business. Odds are that things can still work out. That said, I wanna help 3 founders today... 30 minutes of uninterrupted office hours with me at VEED's London office or remote. Tell me what you're building in the comments. Will pick 3 winners next week.
