A truly successful day is when I go to bed with less chrome tabs opened than when the day started

Do I know any great consumer growth people? Do you know someone I should know? I'm building a new AI fintech and looking for a founding hire in SF to get it into people's hands. Someone who's all-in on agents, likes the messy early days and figuring out what works. 💰 DMs open.

Has anyone else noticed that @cartainc founder Henry Ward's Twitter account has been hacked by a crypto shill for over a month?

Optimizing top of funnel in dating is a suboptimal strategy: You could move to NYC and have infinite dates. More important than casting a wide net is quality matches. Cast a polarizing net. One getting matches truly interested. Weed out the masses. The pool’s big enough

After 5 years I’ve fully churned from @WHOOP. Besides an outrageous annual cost for a lack of innovation, @eightsleep has completely replaced my sleep tracking

Instacart is coming to @Muse! Soon, you can connect Instacart, say “Taco Tuesday,” and turn the idea into a cart from your favorite store. Then check out and get groceries delivered to your door. Same Instacart grocery experience, new way to get started. tr.ee/6xWsKG

This is probably an effective way to get new data centers banned in the US

Grok Bot is now available to everyone with a standard Grok or Cursor subscription. It's grown faster than any product we've seen. It's been particularly exciting to see the range of jobs people delegate to Grok Bot, from running small e-commerce businesses (including support, advertising, inventory, finance), coordinating customer events (directly pinging and working with dozens of human coworkers), testing production software, and completing large, mundane parts of users' day-to-day work.

Hoping employees took liquidity off top at its peak (great reason for private market sales). Multiple compression hurts much more for privates

Wow. Airtable, founded in 2012 and once valued at $11.7B, is getting acquired by Bending Spoons, founded 2013, at 2.7x ARR. A once hot startup; now an unfortunate victim of the SaaS bust. It raised $1.4B only to be sold for $1.285B EV ($2.25B equity value), just clearing its preference stack. That implies common and early holders split the remaining ~$850M, a ~10x haircut from peak.
