if they ask "so what does it do?", your pitch already lost them.
get it down to 1 sentence. who it's for, what it fixes, where it's going.
then say it to a friend who's never built a startup. if they can say it back to you, you're ready.
learned this the hard way pitching thousands of investors with my last startup.
what's yours, in 1 sentence?
just hit 750 followers
50 more to go. let's do it tonight 🤝
quick intro if we haven't met:
i'm RARE
7 years building startups
3 accelerators in my last one
13K on linkedin
now building AI voice agents that actually sound like people
if you're a founder, builder or marketer, drop what you're working on below
i'll follow back and reply to everyone. let's connect
a european accelerator approached me recently
somewhere in the conversation they mentioned a monthly accelerator fee
on top of equity
wait what
equity is supposed to be the most valuable thing a founder gives away. it's your bet on us. if we win, you win.
so why do you also need my cash every month?
that's not a bet. that's a paid service with a seat on my cap table.
in an AI-native world a founder can ship an MVP in a weekend, find first users on X and get warm intros from DMs
honestly i'm surprised who still calls themselves an accelerator
and who still raises through them
founders, be honest: would you pay monthly AND give up equity?
when i was a first-time founder, one thing always bugged me
why do second-time founders get priority?
what's their edge?
now i get it
they have clarity. they know what not to build
they have connections. the right people already pick up the phone
they have systems. they don't start from zero every monday
clarity + connections + systems = speed
and speed is the edge
not even an ivy league first-timer has that on day one
if you're a first-time founder, what are you building first: clarity, connections or systems?
700 followers. we did it 🙏
set the goal this afternoon. 663 at the time. woke up to 702
honestly didn't expect people to show up like this
to everyone who followed, replied, or said hi in the last few days, thank you. i read every single one
still early. still building. and X feels way more human than i thought it would
for the new folks:
hey i'm RARE

ok @AnthropicAI 's S-1 is out and i can't stop looking at these numbers
$16.3B revenue in the first half of this year. a year ago it was $1.16B
and their customers keep spending way more once they're in. like 9x more
that's the part i keep thinking about. nobody buys the whole thing on day one. they try one thing, it works, they come back for more
what do you think? What would be the Right Valuation of @AnthropicAI? lets connect 🤝
98 people just followed me.
663 now. 37 away from 700.
trying to hit it tonight 🙏

ran into an issue with @grok @bot today while using my linkedin.
reached out to their support.
fixed in 7 minutes.
honestly one of the best support experiences i've had with any tech company.
big lesson for anyone trying to scale:
your product gets people in. your support is what makes them stay.
what's the best support you've ever gotten?
honest @X take after a few weeks of actually showing up here:
reply to people. like 30-50 a day.
not "great post 🔥" replies. real ones.
that's how i went from barely anyone to 650.
X just feels different. people actually talk back here.
kinda wish i took it seriously years ago lol
what's been working for you here?
just crossed 600.
200+ of those came in a single day.
next stop: 700 by tonight.
