PMF or Die starts today.
We’re about to find out what happens when you lock 2 builders in an apartment with $25K, an internet connection, and just 90 days to build a $1 million dollar business.
The 24/7 livestream will begin at 12 PM EST.

@Baxate_carter staying over this weekend, pull up and witness the real GPU Sauce in action. Optimized, and still overclocking.
Come lock in with us

Speed has always been a startup's #1 superpower, but the pace at which "AI native" teams are moving right now is truly insane.
Their secret? It's not really a secret. They just use all the best AI tools to get leverage in every part of their workflow: Cursor, Figma, Vercel, ChatGPT, Claude, Granola, Obsidian. And they work together IRL, most sitting directly next to each other (to make communication easier) while executing against very strict goals for what they need to ship and by when. Just hardcore, hyperfast building, all day.
People were not building products like this even 1 year ago.
Perfect example is the @10x_app team which I visited in the @pmfordie cage yesterday (I'm not an investor, just a fan). I was blown away by how much progress they've made in ~2 weeks. They went from pure idea stage to being just about ready to ship a full featured product to GA in that amount of time.
The 10x team is not alone. There are tons of other startups out there building this way right now.
Incumbents and startups that are building the old/classic way are completely cooked.

Can't believe someone built a fully functional version of Optifye for @pmfordie 😂

these 2 developers are locked in an apartment for 90 days and cant leave - until they make $1M ARR
now if they leave even their chair, an automated system flags them for not being productive enough

I didn't expect to enjoy the @pmfordie format so much.
There's something here with live + coworking as second monitor content. It really captures what it's like to grind on a project day in and day out. Wake up, work, sleep, repeat.
It makes the bootstrapped founder experience less lonely.
Hats off to @blakeandersonw and @pattybuilds.

Day 10 building @10x_app
Here is what we have accomplished in the past 10 days.
---
1. MVP Design - 85% complete
I hired an Upwork designer and we have completed all of the primary designs for the app. I am extremely excited to show you guys what the app looks like.
2. MVP Development - 65% complete
Patty has built out all of the core functionality as separate components. Now, it’s time to tie everything together into a functional MVP.
3. Marketing launch prep - 50% complete
We hired a CMO. He offered to do a 90 day trial for free. Started working 12+ hours a day from the moment we first spoke. On the first day, he completed cross-platform distribution strategy + account setup + hired 2 amazing editors. He’s a killer.
4. Moving forward
Static content, prompt engineering, and context / memory handling.
---
By Sunday, we will have a complete MVP so that we can use the app daily on our phones.
