This is the craziest tweet on this site.

OpenAI engineer calculates the cost to build a Google killer and comes to $50m for the embedding.

$50m for a ChatGPT that knows everything that’s on the internet, almost instantly.

Unbelievable.
This is a very real existential threat for Google.

lol marketers at a competitor are going through likes on my tweets to onboard new users.

- if they have time to do this, inbound volume must be low
- have to admire the hustle
- really poor quality cold email

This is from a well-known company as well!

So validating 😍
Lol now received messages from multiple people that also got the same email. At least they’re consistent?

Also they’re using fake names as far as I can tell. Even grosser.
Shameless, now up to 5 customers messaging with this

Linktree and other social media aggregators banned, links out to other social networks banned, including username for other profiles banned.

What a mess
The real losers here though are link in bio startups

They’ve always had platform risk built-in, but they are going to have their valuation cut down heavily after this move

This is red wedding bad for that industry
Wonder if any of the other social media platforms will retaliate with a similar rule since all the traffic is now outflow.

Something something walled gardens web3 solves this

A step change has happened in modern software design.

Google Docs is dead.
Powerpoint is dead.
Gmail is dead.

Old, large companies are being disrupted by newer, UX driven companies.

Here's a list of every startup replacing an existing large company and executing perfectly.
Linear replaces Jira.

The fastest app I've every used and incredibly intuitive.

Founders @karrisaarinen @jorilallo @artman
Tome replaces Powerpoint.

Powerful and mobile friendly. Send a Tome, not a Powerpoint.

I just finished fundraising for @sendwithloops ahead of YC’s demo day.

Here are the unfiltered lessons I learned about raising money for an early stage startup.

This is a series of notes and observations from dozens of calls with some of the best investors in the world.
Stagger your cap. This is a bit of a secret. I talked to a handful founders fundraising right now that didn’t even know this was an option.

Here’s how it works:
1. Start fundraising for a preseed/seed round at a certain cap, 10m-15m is pretty common with web2 B2B SaaS
2. You get a few awesome angels to buy in at that cap (more on that below)
3. Then you complete your “angel round” and move on to raising funds from traditional VC’s but at a higher cap.

By “staggering the cap”, we were able to take a similar amount of dilution, but raise more.

I have designed apps used by hundreds of thousands.

But, I'm not a designer. 🤷

I just realized that UX > UI.

So we don’t have a style guide @sendwithloops and instead we have a growing list of UX principles that apply to our entire app.

Here they are:
Principle 1
Color is a distraction. If you can’t get it to work in black, white and grays, color isn’t the fix, it’s a crutch.
Principle 2
One call to action on every screen. There should only be one way to move forward and it should be clear.

I almost don’t want to mention this tool, because it's so awesome and unknown, but here we go.

It's a free and easy way to scrape Reddit, Hacker News and other sites for real-time mentions of your competitors or brand keywords.

Here’s how I use it and how you can too 🧵
First - the app looks like it's from the dial up era.

With that said, it works more consistently than most apps I pay for monthly.

Here's the pitch 👇
Pitch: Sign up for the free service and get realtime alerts when keywords you're monitoring are mentioned on popular services.

The app is F5 Bot -> f5bot.com

How can you apply this to your startup?
