The co-founder of @FaZeApex pitched me his Y Combinator backed startup @TryNearbyCom.
TryNearby connects local businesses with content creators to help them market and hit the local algorithm in their area.
Over 100 restaurants and 1,000+ creators are on the platform!
FaZe Apex retweeted
This team doesn’t have “AI” anywhere in their pitch but has AI growth rates and would have 10x the headcount if they weren’t so AI-pilled.
Most of the creator economy has been built around reaching people everywhere. Local businesses need something different: creators who live nearby, posting about places their viewers can actually walk into.
Today we’re launching @TryNearbyCom as part of @ycombinator S26, live with 120+ paying restaurants across Southern California.
We have spent the last 10 months doing restaurant visits with creators and sitting with hundreds of owners, learning what they actually need. That work grew us over 130% since the batch started with over 90% retention since November.
Excited to continue to make local businesses discoverable online, and to turn millions of locals into creators for the businesses around them.

Introducing TryNearby from @FaZeApex and his cracked crew. They've found a clever new way to fill up local restaurants, a $399/mo subscription that brings in great local social media influencers on autopilot.
SMBs engaging with local influencers has become a crucial new b2b interaction for local economies. TryNearby is building THE product that takes all the pain and awkwardness from the interactions a la Airbnb with rentals and Uber with rides.

Over 400 killed and counting in Israel’s bombing of Gaza last night. Over 130 of the murdered were children.
Just imagine the headlines if 130 Israeli children were killed.
The world watched Israel shut down all aid and starve them to death over the last 2 weeks, and now this.
Armed and paid for by the United States. Coward Muslim and Arab leaders watching and doing nothing.
You may not see us but we certainly see you.
I’m sick.

Former Israeli Spokesman: If you’re hungry in northern Gaza, walk south 25 miles for 20 minutes and get food
Current UNICEF Spokesman: It took me 13 hours to go 25 miles in Gaza, then Israel turned back our aid truck and shot dead two fisherman seeking food for their families

75 of the over 36,000 Palestinians killed over the past 8 months in Israel's genocide of Gaza. Humanize them. Their lives were as intricate and important as yours.
FaZe Apex retweeted
Graphic | Horrific footage is unfolding of the Israeli massacre of displaced Palestinians, with 8 missiles targeting the displacement camp at a UNRWA site in Rafah, despite Israel claiming it is "safe."
Civil Defense to Al Jazeera: We believe that the occupation army used internationally prohibited weapons to target the displaced in Rafah, judging by the size of the fires that erupted at the targeted site.
FaZe Apex retweeted
While you were having a coffee this morning and enjoying the day, this is what the Zionists did in Rafah.
Most of us support this indirectly through the taxes we pay and the support of our governments and by purchasing products from Multinational corporations that support this genocidal regime.
If you don't oppose this shit you might be part of the problem.
At some point too much silence becomes complicity.

🇮🇱The zionists openly brag about how they raped the young girls (kids).. “they were beautiful like Europeans”…
They rounded everyone up into enclosures then then burned them with flamethrowers… “We took no prisoners, we killed everyone”…
THIS WAS THE NAKBA 1948…🇵🇸💔

BREAKING| According to an analysis by Forensic Architecture, Israel has carried out at least 80 separate attacks on aid in Gaza since January, which suggests that the occupation state is systematically targeting aid.
The analysis also revealed that Israel carried out at least 37 attacks on civilians seeking aid, all near the Israeli-controlled checkpoints on Salah al-Din Street and al-Rashid Street.

🚨BREAKING: EXECUTION OF UNARMED CIVILIANS POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY ISRAELI SOLDIERS.
Extremely shocking footage has emerged showing Israeli forces executing unarmed civilians then posting it on their social media accounts.

BREAKING: A mob of Israeli settlers attack Jordanian trucks carrying desperately needed humanitarian aid on the way to the besieged Gaza Strip, unloading and destroying bags of wheat flour.
This comes as most of the Gaza Strip plunges into starvation amidst the strict Israeli blockade.
