Introducing: the power-hudler (cold calling 2.0)
day 6 of giving AI agents $10k to run growth autonomous... and had a record time for idea to demo (203 seconds)
Argon created a power-hudler script for me to cold-huddle 40 qualified people. And the first person I huddled asked me to immediately demo our platform
wild experience
YC is a time warp
i didn’t clock that the iPhone 18 came out until this morning when I saw it on a billboard
i’ve followed those releases for almost two decades
checking in on fable sandbox and it got this today
i was afraid the seller would cancel, but it's actually getting delivered..
"no returns or exchanges accepted"

we spent weeks on this benchmark @frontrunnerai + too much time deciding whether the bench joke was worth it...
we gave AI agents a year to run GTM:
Fable 5.1: $18M
Opus 5.5: $16M
GPT-6 Astra: $15M
results below
next up: giving agents a Stripe card + $10k budget and seeing how perform in our harness with real money..
this legend @mynameisyahia gave me a candle one of the first days of the yc batch. i got to return the favor by giving him a FR horse-shoe last Friday
Yahia is a fantastic founder and the product is phenomenal!
but still... horseshoe > candle
however, my gf liked the candle more. can't win it all
"it leaks alpha 👀 (FR)"
luxury problem when customers cancel meetings b/c @frontrunnerai is getting them deals...
i love openers on linkedin like these:
hey, wanna chat next week?
hey, want to catch up?
send it to execs and assume that they'll take the meeting and they'll take it
