AI startup founders when Claude announces a new update:

no hype is the new hype best examples: rain cards, privy, lifi infra used by thousands of people daily, no one notices, it just works we need more of this

crazy how bad crypto's reputation is

the longer I'm on 𝕏, the more I realize: founders with small accounts are the most interesting ones. - too busy building to posture - 0 ego, they just wanna win - keep posting with 0 likes - the world isn’t rooting for them yet but I will tell me what you are building

Jane Street made $31.2 billion in PROFIT last year with 3500 people. $9M profit per employee Only one company on earth beat that number. OnlyFans not even Nvidia and Apple

all successful apps will end up with: (1) their own stablecoin (2) their own chain (3) their own on/offramp full stack

Hot take: The best age to found your own startup is 30 and over. VCs have a bias for gravitating towards young founders. I think there’s something very alluring about finding strokes of genius much earlier. But having prior careers gives you domain expertise, understanding of good products, hiring judgment, and leadership experience that you didn’t have coming out of college. Here are just a few examples: Jeff Bezos (Amazon, 30) Jensen Huang (Nvidia, 30) Sam Altman (OpenAI, 30) Travis Kalanick (Uber, 33) Jack Ma (Alibaba, 35) Marc Benioff (Salesforce, 35) Dario Amodei (Anthropic, 37) Obviously there are exceptions, especially if you are building a consumer product. It’s cool to be a college dropout and start a generational company. But Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg were successful in spite of dropping out, not because of it.
