Announcing: Multiplier Holdings - a technology company building AI-native professional services firms.
Feels like public market isn’t close to effectively pricing how good MSL/Muse is (and how vertically and integrated it is).
@finkd is unparalleled at the high stakes pivot.
Normies: “How do you deal with managing a global team??”
Me, in my head: “Thank god there’s always someone awake I can be texting with about work 24/7”
So bullish on Stripe during this AI platform shift.
I’ve gotten to use Muse over the past few months and it is awesome. It’s intuitive, persistent, and fun. We’ve partnered with Meta to deeply, delightfully embed @link so Muse can pay across the web for you. =>
We’ve solved some of the most painful parts already: We have firms inside of Multiplier super hungry to adopt the product you’ll ship and provide feedback to shape it along the way. We offer competitive compensation and world-class technical peers to jam with.
We’re seeding several new products at Multiplier and hiring one founding engineer for each to take each product from 0-1. This is the perfect role for past or future founders.
OH: “It seems that anthropic modeled the tone of sonnet 5 on some google lifer neckbeard who loves the sound of his own voice and cannot stop talking”
Two nights ago - my daughters are in tears, an epic bout of crying because I would not buy in-app purchase mystery-box-opening garbage farming game on the app store.
Tonight - blissful quiet as they lay on the ground playing their very own vibe coded farming sim -- sprinkled with some real ag and econ lessons. possibly.
Wife - Can you make it verify that they've brushed their teeth?
The reason "Premium Service" is the first and most important company principle at Multiplier
My accountant I pay a lot of money every month just replied to a question I sent him with a 100% AI reply explaining something
The answer was helpful though so I could've just asked AI myself
Of course you know what I'm thinking now, if I can just ask AI everything since he is forwarding everything to AI any way, why not replace him with AI
I guess he should be doing the opposite of AI, sell a premium service for a high price (he already does) and keep answering with humans as accounting is something I'd prefer to actually get a human in the loop
Anyway it's interesting
My 4yo’s complaint about living in Orchard is the unpleasant sound of people zooming their Ferraris.

Folks navigating their early career stages have never had more challenge or opportunity. We want to hire a lot more early career folks at Multiplier Holdings - and I think the idea that AI will decimate junior roles is wrong.
AI will be a massive accelerant for those with the curiosity, optimism, and drive to achieve.
That said - we live in a wild time where paths in front of young people have never represented more opportunity or more peril.
The internet provides nearly infinite free knowledge to learn how to create or do anything. The internet also provides nearly infinite cheap dopamine to waste your time, ruin your motivation, and become cynical.
Similarly: Those who are able to leverage this new breed of AI tools are having faster career advancement than ever before and those who are looking for "old style" entry level jobs are struggling.
The question is: how do you allocate your most valuable asset—time—when the range of outcomes has never been wider?
I know a lot of people who did exceptionally well by getting into mobile development or data analytics in 2008 or 2009—right at the dawn of that era.
There was a strong tailwind that meant decent skill in that domain would accrete to job opportunities or business success.
There is a huge advantage to catching the wave early.
Coming in late and you risk the "Oompa Loompa problem" that @arampell points out here xitter.cf/arampell/status/200617…
This is now counterproductively wrong in tech
If you want to make it at a startup, boosting your resume with the biggest logos is not just unhelpful, it’s harmful
You will get (perhaps unfairly) filtered out based on the heuristic that most startups look at — have you made a thing, or sold a thing — not been Oompa Loompa #12,411 at giant company
