@portfoliopilot Final thought:. “We were trained to be machines for centuries. Now maybe we can just be human.”. Don’t fear AI. Use it. Let it optimize the mechanical parts of life—so you can focus on meaning, relationships, and creativity.

@portfoliopilot Here's a wild twist:. People thought AI would replace blue collar jobs first. But nope. AI now does art, music, design better than most. Meanwhile? Folding laundry is still hard. “Plumbers may be the last jobs standing.”.

@portfoliopilot What keeps him going?. “Most weeks, I have 4 bad days and 3 good ones.”. But he talks to users every day. Not just to sell—but to listen. “Every tweak we make brings us closer to 1M users.”. Relentless refinement is the game.

@portfoliopilot Want to know if your startup’s worth pursuing?. Alex’s advice:. Forget theory. Ask: Will someone pay you—today?. Not hypothetically. Not if you build X. Now. With a credit card. The moment people pay, real feedback begins.

@portfoliopilot Best quote of the episode:. “Great businesses are bought, not sold.”. If you’re building to exit, you’re doing it wrong. Build something so valuable that someone has to make an offer. That’s what happened with his drone startup.

@portfoliopilot Alex believes AI finance will be the next WebMD. Once, doctors scoffed at Googling symptoms. Now?. “It’s irresponsible not to use AI in medicine.”. Soon, advisors who ignore AI may face the same reality.

@portfoliopilot Most people don’t want to be “traders.”. They just want to know:.– What’s optimized?.– What’s wasted?.– What’s risky?. AI can now answer that in minutes. Even better? It can meet you where you are—whether you’re a beginner or obsessed optimizer.

@portfoliopilot What’s the big insight?. Personal finance is just as complex as self-flying drones. 10,000 investment options. 1000+ tax strategies. Endless fees, traps, and conflicting advice. “It’s not about replacing humans. It’s about enhancing them.”.

Alex didn’t plan to start a finance company. After selling his first startup, he started building tools to optimize his own portfolio. Then his friends wanted in. Then strangers. Now his tool—@PortfolioPilot—has 30,000 users. And it’s growing fast.

Alex Harmsen built autonomous drones for Mars. Now he’s using AI to optimize personal finance. What do planetary dust storms and your 401(k) have in common?. Way more than you think. Here’s what I learned from our convo 🧵👇.

Most founders hunt customers. Smart founders also hunt referral partners. One solid partnership can yield more than 50 cold emails. Think:. Fractional CFOs. Niche industry groups. Founders of complementary services. Warm trust beats cold outreach.

Most funnels go:.→ Gated content.→ Opt-in.→ Sales pitch. Better funnels go:.→ Value.→ More value.→ Oh wow, even more value.→ “Okay, how do I work with you?”. Give first. Trust compounds.

Hiring a COO is like getting a full-body MRI for your business. You could wait until something breaks. But the real value?.Spotting invisible inefficiencies before they cost you 6–7 figures. Operational health = strategic advantage.

Your dream is valid. Even if no one claps. Even if you’re the only one who believes.

The best ventures don’t start with capital. They start with refusal. Refusal to settle. Refusal to fake it. Refusal to let the old world define the new one.
