Your greatest growth won't happen when you're surrounded by applause. It'll happen when nobody's watching and you choose not to quit.

I've gotten into YC twice and raised ~$100M. I've never given a powerpoint presentation. I've never emailed a pitch deck. Find a customer who hates what they're buying. Make something they love. That gets you into YC, funded, and profitable. 🪦 Slides.

I want to write more $100k - $250k checks to founders that are heads down building. So we're opening applications. but there's a catch: you can't send us a pitch deck, resume, or even what school you went to. Instead, we just need you to show up for 5hrs and build what you're building in front of us. So this Friday, we're hosting Night Hack for the third time. We're selecting the top 80 teams to see what they can ship before we leave. We'll have prizes/insane credits, food, access to our space, and of course the possibility of coming back and calling our campus your home. If you want to ship something crazy + attend: luma.com/nighthack However be warned, you may be outshipped...

A competitor can copy your winning angle. But if you have ten winning ones, it makes copying it impossible. AI can help you find those 10 angles. And then to create funnels for each one. This is insurance against volatility.

✅ Confirmed. Hiring a human can be waaaay cheaper than AI! A badly-managed AI agent can cost $7,000 an hour. According to a16z, that's 77x the price of the same task done right. Freelancer developers have built the same working chatbot for a fraction of that cost. 👉 Hire someone who won't loop: freelancer.com/ai
