i'm building something new in consumer AI. hiring for Drive, Taste, and Ambition. builders who think in first principles and ship like artists. the goal: build a digital version of your mind. a living map of who you are that grows with you: your closest friends, the places you've lived, the moments that shaped you. then make it social. if you'd enjoy the creative process of making an A24 film or perfecting a Michelin dish, obsessing over every detail until it's right, and want to bring that to consumer products, you'll thrive here. looking for a designer and a design engineer. DMs open.

At some point, usually in your 20s, you'll notice that the people around you get addicted to the FAANG salary. And no matter how hard you try, you can't save them. By all means, do not let it infect your mind. Stay on your path.

@TaraViswanathan interesting. even though i usually message directly too, in most cases i’ve seen the person who made the intro removes themselves from the channel. and that’s what i tend to do as well, so i assumed that was just the norm.

A random thing I’ve noticed about ppl under 25 is they skip the whole “I’ll message you directly so we don’t spam X person!” formality and just keep the person who intro’d you on the text thread forever. Feels less stuffy & more human. A tiny example of what feels like a much more fluid way to approach relationships / work. Honestly, great.

and that’s why the consumer game is so fun. taken one by one, the variables are logical. with enough work, you can probably learn each of them. the hard part is that consumer demands all of them at once.
signüll@signulll

there are likely ~100 ppl alive today that deeply understand all of these together: product instinct, what makes good software, design, technical depth, a real model of ai, the psychology of a single user, the shape of culture, team building, the ability to motivate, & the narrative gift to make any of this actually legible to normal peeps. in consumer, where the tam is pretty much everyone, that combinatorial scarcity is the leverage. ~100 against 8 billion. pure asymmetry.

Some personal news! Recently, I stepped back from the day-to-day at @Instacart to focus on investing full-time. I sat down with my friend @jaltma on Uncapped to talk about building Instacart and my philosophy on early-stage investing — check it out here!
Jack Altman@jaltma

For this episode of Uncapped I got to sit down with my close friend @Max, cofounder of Instacart 🥕 We talked about the key moments of Instacart...how it got started, critical wins, tough losses, competitive dynamics, earned insights, going public, and Instacart's future. Max is also an awesome startup investor, and we talked about what he looks for in founders, consumer investing, and what he's building with Workshop. He's one of the best people I know, hope you enjoy.

A legendary $2M pre-seed round in early 2023. 3 years later the company was worth $11B. That's proper venture power law. Today we see pre-seed rounds at $20M.

one of the weirdest things about america is that everything feels so optimized, and then temperature is measured in complete nonsense. celsius is just clean: water freezes at 0, boils at 100. even poland, where daniel gabriel fahrenheit was born in gdańsk, does not use fahrenheit. that alone should have settled it.

watching early 1990s internet commercials feels like watching prehistory. makes you wonder which ads from today will feel the same in 30 years.

people talk a lot about how hard it is to build good software but the hardest part is usually making it simple. here’s a refactored version of slack’s notifications flowchart
