LLMs are a cool toy right now. No one seems to know how to really use them. The key = think of AI as the glue to your entire system. It can’t do everything… but what it can do is make you 5% more efficient is multiple different areas. And those percentages start add up.

The hardest part? Drawing the line between: • Codifiable expertise vs. lived intuition • Documented process vs. in-the-moment judgment The VP who's built 3 sales teams - how much is playbook vs. gut instinct? That's the extraction problem. And whoever solves it wins.

Both will need one critical skill: creating clear documentation for Agentic AI systems.

Your 20 years of experience is about to become a file system. And if you don't document it, someone else will - and they'll productize you out of existence. Here's what the smartest consultants and operators are doing right now 🧵

Today, we’re introducing Rely: the fastest way to close commercial real estate transactions, starting with multifamily. You’ve probably seen a lot of talk about AI in real estate. We’re using it to fix the part of the business that no one talks about. Multifamily transactions are held together by late nights, messy data rooms, conflicting numbers, and manual work that no one fully trusts. The process is slow, expensive, risky, and it’s been accepted as “just how diligence works.” Rely changes that. Rely ingests entire data rooms and runs full-coverage audits across leases, rent rolls, contracts, financials, and more. Every output is traced directly back to its source, creating a single place to understand, validate, and manage the entire transaction lifecycle. The result: up to a 95% reduction in diligence time. Now that Rely is live, I’d love your help. We’re learning directly from the best operators in the industry. If you’ve lived this pain, or have a strong opinion on where diligence should be headed, I’d value your perspective. Drop a comment or reach out directly. We’re listening. Huge thanks to our early partners and backers: @CardinalGrpMgmt , Elm Grove, Tarragon Property Services, @btv_vc (@pitdesi @iamjakestream @jbahrdestefano @nbobba @lsodaro @digmonster), Del De-Windt (Byld), Howard Smith (former President, Walker & Dunlop), @chasegilbert_ (Built Technologies), @jakebolling (Scotch), @tomloverro, @JaxGeller , @PhysicsBliss, @pk_iv and more. Your belief helped make this possible.

@henrythe9ths FUNDRAISE

I got rejected by 144 investors before raising $150M for my $200M+ rev/year startup. After 144 rejections, I started questioning our approach. Were we solving the right problem? What were we doing wrong? Why weren’t investors seeing what we were seeing? Were we the right team to build this? We tried everything: different pitch angles, new deck structures, and reframing the problem. Then came the 145th meeting, where we closed our first growth round. That yes made everything worth it. But getting there took years of mistakes and hard work. We went through a lot of trial and error just to figure out what resonates with investors. We tried dozens of approaches to figure out what made investors engage. Some landed, most didn't. But each iteration taught us something about what builds conviction versus what just sounds good on paper. And once we cracked that code, our Series C closed faster than expected. And today, I see so many founders in the exact same position I was in 10 years ago: grinding through rejections, questioning everything, and trying to figure out what works. So today I want to give you the resource I wish I had back then: Something that shows you exactly how to structure these conversations and navigate the entire process (because the fundraising cycle can be a big distraction and take a toll on you as a founder). So I've partnered with Notion's Startups Team to create the essential fundraising resource that helps you avoid the mistakes that cost me years. Here's what you are getting: • The actual decks I used to raise $150M for Super[.]com (Series B, C) • 50 real examples from funded startups like Eleven Labs and Artisan AI • A searchable database of 10,000+ investors - angels, VCs, and accelerators you can reach out to immediately (this alone would take months to build manually) • An AI-powered fundraising agent built into Notion with step-by-step prompts (no separate ChatGPT needed) Want access? • Like and share this post • Comment "FUNDRAISE" • Follow me so I can DM you the link I'll send it over ASAP. P.S.: If you are serious about fundraising (now or in the future), you should grab it right away.

@ShaanVP Wtf is this ChstGPT ahh post Shaan?

Whenever I hear someone wants "life balance", I know they will end up dissapointed. Not only is life balance nearly impossible to have -- it's the wrong goal. They're shooting at the wrong target. Here's how I think about it isntead..:

@mister_shroom Your brain is your body. It’s a distributed system.
