@alexcooldev why don’t you buy it now? I think it’s 90k ish, 20% down (18k) + 750-1k/mo 3 years or you can even put even more down at the beginning

I got my first car last year, but inspired by Jack, starting today, if I hit $100k/month with 80% profit within the next 12 months, I’ll buy my dream car: the BMW M3 Competition. 💪

@julianweisser @solofounders applied, already coming to SF anyways

Solo founding is different. We've built the place for it. Applications open for @solofounders program's 4th cohort. • 10 solo founders building "solo, together" • 3 months in SF (+ optional housing) • work closely with me + alumni • $100k investment Apply!

@signulll @Skye move a step further. make on demand apps for whatever people need instead of having an app store

excited to share what we have been up to. your iphone’s home screen hasn’t changed in ~20 years. it’s the same static grid of icons since launch with zero awareness of your actual life. @skye is a new agentic home screen for iphone. no telegram. no mac mini. & no claws required. skye is ambient intelligence that just works. it continuously listens to your context & acts on it. it builds your reading lists, gives you personalized weather, drafts email replies, prepares you for meetings & trips, flags suspicious charges, works through your reminders, tracks your health, & gives you one tap intel on wherever you are (restaurants, museums, neighborhoods, etc). all surfaced on your home screen. over the next few posts i’ll break down how it works, why we built it, & why we think it deserves to exist in the world. beta starts today. if you’re on the list, you’ll get access very soon. app store shortly after. deeply appreciate you all following along on this fun little journey. also please join our discord !

I MIGHT GET SUED FOR THIS, BUT YOLO: I just found a way to bypass LinkedIn's 20 connection limit per day You can use this to reach VPs, Directors and C-Suite without a single connection request And the craziest part - IT'S COMPLETELY FREE It helped us: Book 350 appointments for an AI automation firm Generate $500K in closed revenue from LinkedIn alone Hit 25-30 qualified enterprise calls every month for another client Comment "L" and I'll send it to you (24h only)

@fin465 Guide

Now that we’re done at YCombinator, we’re revealing how we went from 0 → $10k MRR in our first 30 days, using only ONE channel (step by step). We spent less than $100 and didn’t have any paid ads, SEO, waitlist, or content marketing. Instead, we sent 50-75 highly targeted cold emails a day. Cold email is the most underrated channel because it's hard to get right, but if you figure it out you can sell ANY B2B product. Here's what we did from start to finish: STEP 1: Build an ultra‑specific customer profile at both company and person level. If you do this right, you can mess everything else up and still succeed. The goal here is to create such a perfect customer, that if they heard about your solution they would have no choice but to say "tell me more". Step 2: Build your list After you create this customer profile, find the companies that meet this criteria. Find 30–50 target companies on LinkedIn, then grab decision‑maker emails via Apollo/Wiza. STEP 3: Writing a killer email I used to run an outbound email agency and we'd send 50k+ emails/month to book b2b sales calls via cold email. Here are the basic principles of cold email writing that I always use: -Keep it 5-8 sentences. 70%+ of emails are read on mobile, so make sure they get most of it from that screen view. - Never write more than 2 sentences without breaking up the lines. People skim, and that’s the best way to keep their attention - DO NOT talk about your product’s features. - Instead, talk about the person, their company, and their pain points. STEP 4: The call I took 493 sales calls in Origami’s first 3 months. Here's what I learned: The 2 biggest goals for this call are - Figuring out the customer’s problems - Getting the customer excited about your solution Unless you already have PMF, it doesn't matter if you have a full built product. You still need to spend 90%+ of your time figuring out what the customer actually needs. In the early stages, you can even offer a full refund if they aren’t satisfied to give them maximum confidence and get your first few deals over the line. STEP 5: Closing/After Congrats! You cracked cold email. This was the exact approach we used at Origami to get our first $10k MRR, and the highest converting outbound approach I’ve seen when I ran my agency. I posted the stats in my prior tweets, but in our first 40 days we sent 3119 emails (~77 per day) and got a 5.3% response rate, resulting in demos with 64 founders at companies within our ICP. This resulted in ~$22k new MRR by the time our sales for all of these calls had closed. The best part is that once you nail this process, you can automate it. We've got our Origami AI Agents (@origamichat) finding new customers 24/7, which frees us up to explore new channels and focus on scaling. CONCLUSION This is a very short version of my guide. The full guide I posted on X last year (@fin465) hit 800k impressions and 10k+ bookmarks. If you want me to DM it you, comment GUIDE.

@thesamparr what’s his distribution like? seems like it’s hard to get in touch with these family businesses

My buddy runs a company helping manufactures implement ai. He showed me the leads he’s getting. It’s nuts. Family businesses I’ve never heard of making $100m a year. They know the need ai but no idea what to do. Crazy how much momey is out there

@dan__rosenthal Microsite

I stopped sending text-only outreach to my best prospects. Instead, I built personalized ‘microsites’ using Gamma's API and Clay: Each microsite pulls in the prospect's company colors, logos, ICP research, TAM breakdowns, and a customized proposal with a scheduling link. (and it’s all 100% automated) This way, every prospect sees a custom proposal before we ever get on a call. I documented the full workflow so anyone can set this up: • Clay template for account enrichment (importable) • Gamma API call format for microsite generation • Auto-branding logic for colors and logos • GTM analysis prompt structure • Scheduling link integration Comment "MICROSITE" and I'll send it over. PS - The template is reusable. Once it's set up, you can generate a new microsite for any prospect in minutes.

@fin465 outbound

I got tired of showing 100+ YC founders the outbound guide that i've watched take many from $0 -> $100k, $500k, even $1m ARR during the 3-month YC batch, so i'm providing it here for free: every YC batch, I talk to new founders about the best strategy to go from pre-product to top revenue of the batch in that 12-week period. Here's what I've seen work: 1. Don't bother with cold email. Cold email infra will take weeks to setup. If you're not an expert, it's not worth it. even if done properly, it's gotten impossible to compete with AI spam taking over inboxes. 2. Linkedin is a goldmine for outbound in 2026. There's no reason you shouldn't be sending 200 new linkedin connections every week to great fit prospects. If 50% accept your connection, you have 100 new potential customers to reach out to every week. You can easily setup an automated Linkedin Connector safely. Just upload your lead list and it will auto-connect. 3. Don't automate your message sending (wait, what?) if you build your lead list effectively, you will have a list of the few hundred HIGHEST value prospects to target (your top .1% buyers). These people are really important to you, and limited. Treat them well. Try to use linkedin 'casually' to start conversations with them in a more genuine way (more on this in the full guide). 4. Build that 'top .1% list' write out your exact dream customer profile, first at the company level. Then, person level. The more specific you can be about your dream customer, the better. The goal here is to create such a perfect customer, that if they heard about your solution they would have no choice but to say "tell me more". A few more miscellaneous tips: • do max volume connecting on all of your team-members accounts • an empty note for connection requests has the highest accept rates • don't use inMail. Connect first, then message • as you connect with more customers in your niche, you will gain more mutuals and your connect rate will increase over time This is just the beginning though if you actually want to execute this well. I wrote up a highly detailed guide going over each of these sections in more depth. completely step by step. Want the guide? Comment "outbound" and I'll dm you the entire guide that shows the exact process used by dozens of founders to scale from $0 -> $100k+ ARR in their first few months, that still works in 2026.

@AlfieJCarter LOOM

Loom + LinkedIn = 40 Calls EVERY month (and it works without DMs, InMails, or automation tools) We went from <15% accept rates to 40%+ meetings booked using one approach: Sending personalized Loom videos before connecting on LinkedIn. Not generic connection requests everyone ignores. Every LinkedIn outreach looks the same. And it gets ignored... Video walkthroughs give value first. And they get replies… Once someone watches your Loom, you're no longer cold. You can start the conversation. You can track who's interested (view data). You can book meetings without chasing. We've used Loom + LinkedIn outreach to: - Book 40+ calls per month with 0 automation - Cut time-to-meeting from 2 weeks to 3 days - Build pipeline with <100 highly-targeted accounts But here's the problem: Most personalized video outreach is terrible. - Screen recordings with no context - Generic "I loved your company" videos nobody believes - 3-minute intros that don't give value So we documented everything we know about low-volume, high-conversion LinkedIn outreach. What you're getting: → How to identify the 50-100 accounts worth personalizing for (not random LinkedIn searches) → The 3-layer research method that finds video topics prospects actually care about → Loom script templates for 6 different outreach angles (competitor intel, workflow breakdown, opportunity analysis, case study walkthrough, market insight, quick win) → How to structure 60-90 second videos that get watched completely (intro hook, value delivery, soft CTA) → The exact LinkedIn message to send with your Loom link (that doesn't sound like every other "I made you a video" pitch) Plus the complete research-to-recording workflow we use to send 10 personalized videos per day, so each video feels 1:1 but the system scales. Want it? → Reply "LOOM" → Follow me and I'll DM you the whole playbook

@rohitdotmittal so, wait .. between 250k - 2M in ARR let’s say 1M ARR with one founder + loyal engineer and not able to pay salary?

I've talked to an insane number of founders over the past year. Mostly through LinkedIn and Twitter DMs, warm intros, and sometimes cold emails from people who read something I wrote and saw their own situation in it. The thing that surprises me every time is how many of them are going through the exact same thing. They don't share it publicly. They barely share it privately. But when I get on a call with them, it pours out. The profile is almost always the same. Raised a seed, maybe a Series A. Could be $2M, could be $8M, one guy raised $24M. They built the product. Got customers. Hit somewhere between $250K and $2M in ARR. And then growth stopped, and the company plateaued. Or started sliding backwards a few percent every month. Now they're stuck. What "stuck" actually looks like at this level: your investors have stopped returning your emails (or slow-play you). You burned through most of the raise. You've got maybe 9 months of runway if you cut everything. You've already cut everything. The team went from 12 to 4 to just you and maybe one engineer who stuck around out of loyalty. Your salary went from whatever you were paying yourself to basically nothing. A guy I talked to cut his salary for three months and lived off his credit card. "Which kind of screwed me over later on." Another founder told me, "I haven't paid myself for months to increase runway." And you can't exit through normal channels. Private equity won't touch you at this size. Someone I talked to learned this the hard way with a horizontal B2B play in the SMB space. "The one thing I've learned private equity acquirers don't want? It's horizontal. It's SMB." PE wants $5M+ in ARR, clean financials, and a clear path to $20M. Strategic acquirers aren't any better; you're not big enough to move the needle for a Fortune 500, and you don't have enough customers for a meaningful acqui-hire. VCs won't re-up either. Your existing investors have written you off internally, even if they haven't said it. No new VC is going to invest in a company that's been flat at $1M ARR for two years with a $15M post-money cap from the last round. The three ways to exit a company - strategic acquisition, PE buyout, IPO - haven't kept up with how fast venture funding has scaled. Billions pour into seed and Series A every year. But the exit infrastructure for companies that don't become unicorns? Same three doors as 2005. And for a company doing $500K to $3M in ARR, all three are locked. So what do you do? Honestly, most founders just keep grinding. Somebody put it to me like this: "At some point, I knew the company was not gonna make it. And by 'make it' I mean it won't become big. In some cases, I did continue to kick the can down the road, thinking I'll figure it out later."

@levelsio you’re using photoai or interiorai personally?

how to build a bootstrapped startup without funding: 1. pick a problem you personally have. if you don't use your own product daily, quit now 2. skip the pitch deck. open your code editor. ship something ugly in a weekend 3. charge money from day 1. free users give you nothing but support tickets 4. use boring tech. PHP, SQLite, vanilla JS. frameworks are a trap that mass waste your time 5. host on cheap VPS ($5-20/mo). not AWS. you don't need kubernetes for 1,000 users 6. do customer support yourself. it's the fastest product feedback loop that exists 7. automate everything you do more than twice. cron jobs > employees. 8. grow on Twitter/X by building in public. your journey IS the marketing 9. keep your burn rate near zero so you never need to raise. ramen profitable > series A 10. say no to investors, cofounders, and "advisors" who want equity for intros i've been doing this for 10+ years now. no employees, no funding, no board meetings the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start you don't
