@ycombinator @aaron_epstein @xuster @trylaurence 15/n There are so many self-serve solutions out there, but they’re not inter-connected and too rigid: each agency/seller has their own idea of what metrics are important to look at, and they want the directional insights Laurence provides much, MUCH more than any dashboard.

Three months ago, i got a @ycombinator interview with just a Colab notebook for a demo. @aaron_epstein and @xuster rejected me for not knowing who my ICP was: last week, I reapplied and am sharing why I'm building @trylaurence and what I've learned This was the best thing that

1/ CLOBs have been TradFi's backbone for decades, but on-chain they create new problems: latency arbitrage, MEV, toxic flow, and higher costs for traders. The ecosystem needs better market structures. Enter: Dual Flow Batch Auctions (DFBA).

Transparent markets let MMs identify and serve the whales before the sharks circle.

Result: Retail gets seated faster at nosebleed stakes because masks are off. Berry/Linus types get frozen out. Same reason HU poker died online, while ring games lasted longer. Whales get action at insane stakes → pros drain them → liquidity dies → entire ecosystem collapses.

Hyperliquid = normal poker lobbies. Players have usernames, not full anonymity. After some hands, you realise your opponent is a massive whale (uninformed flow). When this same guy sits you next session, asking to play 10x higher, you instantly comply.

Jeff's transparency thesis is like poker evolution: CEX markets = anonymous heads-up cash games. You know, most opponents are fish you can crush, but occasionally you hit Berry Sweet or Linus. So when randoms want to play higher stakes, you hesitate (toxic flow risk).

If you squint, you'll see the letters "P" "F" "O" and "F" appear. The natural end state of this type of system is that retail is incentivized to trade through a common identity, like a retail brokerage, rather than directly on HL because of the pooling effect arising from
