Introducing Stanley: The first AI Head of Content that will help you grow your following. Stanley works just like a real employee: text him and he’ll create, edit, and strategize viral content across X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Making viral content is hard. It requires deep research, deep platform understanding, and knowing what’s culturally relevant at that exact minute. When you ask ChatGPT to “write a social post” it doesn’t know what good content looks like, it’s not actively consuming content, and it doesn’t understand you. This is why the output is slop. Stanley solves this. First Stanley deeply understands your unique voice and writing style (and doesn’t include AI language like em dashes and “it’s not x it’s y”) Then he plugs into your day-to-day (your Slack, Notion, Calendar, Granola) and proactively suggests viral posts for you based off the most interesting things happening in your life. All you need to do is voice note him your thoughts, and Stanley optimizes and then schedules a post across all platforms. Example: Last week I asked ChatGPT "what happened on X" and got a generic summary. I asked Stanley the same thing and he told me about @JensenHuang's first post on X and the viral Deny’s comment. That’s because Stanley has a team of specialized agents that are always on. One agent researches viral posts through the X API. One studies your voice. One doom scrolls X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. 2 months ago we released Stanley in beta to 100 social media power users like @chasepassiveincome, @jayyanginspires, @MitcheIl, and @iampascio who’ve used Stanley in their daily content process. Engagement rates increased by >50% for the average beta tester. (in fact you’ve probably engaged w/ Stanley posts without realizing) Posting content has genuinely changed my life for the better: it’s helped me raise millions of $, landed me my first customers, and attracted the very best employees. Stan wouldn’t be a $40M ARR business without Content. Stanley is our attempt at democratizing that. Our mission is to help any Entrepreneur tell their story, so we'd love for you to try Stanley for free here: getstanley.ai One more thing.. You can see a glimpse of Stanley’s power in the comments below. Drop a reply and Stanley will analyze your X content right now. It'll pull your posts, study your voice, and tell you what's working and what's not. Each reply costs us abt ~$1 in tokens. Go abuse it. (Thank you VC’s.) FYI: This post and launch video were written 100% w/ the help of Stanley (how’d he do?) See Stanley work below 👇

Every now and then, you get to make art. This video is that for me: my hope is you might see your own struggles in it and get a bit of release. To anyone struggling - keep going. You’ve got this.

For all Founders, I’m convinced your success just comes down to constantly asking yourself: “What is repeatable and compounding?” Blink a few years later, and you’ll have a real flywheel on your hands.

If everyone hasn't realized by now - building startups is just the new age version of war and nationbuilding: Entering new markets = taking new land Competition = warring countries Compounding moats = building competitive advantage Strategy = how will you outmaneuver the competition

We're bringing 100 Founders into the woods for 14 days to compete for millions of $. Our goal is simple: get as many of these Founders from $0 to Revenue in just 14 days. But there's a twist: We're making it a reality show - teams will compete Squid Games x Shark Tank style for an oppty to pitch Tier 1 VCs for millions of $ at the end. We'll teach them our entire playbook we used to Build in Public to $40M ARR. And we're bringing top Entrepreneurs like GaryVee, Daymond John, Sophia Amoruso and Zach Yadegari to mentor everyone. We're here to prove one thing: Anyone, anywhere can change their life and make millions if they just have the hustle. And we're here to help them. Let's go have some fun 😈 Hope you tune in!

Day 1 of 14 of Launchpad 🚀 We welcomed all 100 Founders today...and @vitaliidodonov caused absolute panic. The energy was insane when everyone arrived at campus!! It was so hype going up there with Vitalii and giving our welcome presentation. Everyone was cheering and having a great time. We reminded them how important these 14 days are. We're going to teach these Founders the entire playbook of how to go from $0 to revenue in 2 weeks. And we've got the world's top Entrepreneurs like @garyvee, @sophiaamoruso, and @TheSharkDaymond mentor them daily. But with that being said. Only the top 5 out of 30 teams will have a chance to pitch to Tier 1 VCs for millions. So we laid out the scoring structure: 1.⁠ ⁠How they build in public (volume of posts) 2.⁠ ⁠How much they hustle for customers (demos and sales) Then... Vitalii caused absolute chaos 😈 At the end of Vitalii’s presentation he dropped a bomb that the first challenge was starting there and then. And after 24 hours 1/3 of the Founders there will be eliminated. This means the bottom 10 teams will be cut just one day after arriving. Crazy right? I can't wait to see which teams crush it and pull ahead. I'll see you tomorrow with an update.

No better feeling than having a living legend pull up for our Founders at Launchpad The energy at camp right now is UNREAL.

THE SQUAD IS HERE 😈 14 days to change 100 Founders' lives, LFG!! @vitaliidodonov @brycent

All of the problems you have as an Early Stage Founder: - Not enough customers - No one will give you a chance - No one pays attention to you - No one knows you exist - Investors are super hard to convince Can in large part be solved by: Building in Public. BiP forces you to get significantly better at telling your story and learn what resonates. And the social media algorithms will connect you with people who believe in you and what you're doing. This is why we're putting on Launchpad next week: Specifically to teach 100 Founders how to do this, and to prove to the world that this is the new playbook to go from 0-to-1. I'm excited for you to watch all of the content that will come out of Launchpad, as there will be immense value, and it'll also be a ton of fun. Watch us cook, and see if we can truly deliver on our promise of helping these Founders crush it.

In the 1900s, America was the land of opportunity. In the 2000s, the Internet is the land of opportunity.

I love when I order delivery and the restaurant sends multiple pairs of silverware Like nah bish this family meal for 4 is entirely for me 😂

If you want to be successful, you need to learn how to be bored. It's too easy to consume in today's world: - Feeling discomfort? Immediately open up your phone and swipe social - Bored? Open YouTube or Spotify to numb it all - Hungry? Immediately open DoorDash and order food The people who will win in today's world are the ones who create more than they consume. Stop filling your mind with endless garbage, and have the strength to unplug in a world going increasingly frenetic and crazy.

I have a firm belief that if you want to start something, it takes: - 2 years to start seeing any real payoff - 5 years to feel like you're getting good at it - 10 years to build a generational run that truly starts to compound Most people will never get to that level of commitment and consistency. Don't be one of them. Pick a game that you actually want to play for that long. Then double down and crush it.

Pumped for you Zach! LFG
