Founding Beacon with @nilamg has been the most intense but also fulfilling time of my life. In just a year, we’ve grown to a team of 30+ and acquired dozens of mission-critical software businesses that quietly power everyday life, helping them bring AI to real-world industries.

excited to see Tina and co build to improve biosecurity in the world (protect us from extremely contagious and lethal diseases that rogue actors can make). seems like a underfunded and underexplored area. they are hiring applied ai and comp bio engineers!

also kinda crazy so many great startups came out of the niche sneakerbot community: - Axiom Trade ($700M runrate, <10 ppl) - Slash ($100M runrate, ~30 ppl). - Whop (also a high runrate, ~50 ppl) sneakerbots were built and sold to quickly buy sneaker drops so people could resell

Unicorns, decacorns, centaurs... but what do you call a company with over $10Bn in annual revenue? A Titan. Only 15 software companies have ever reached this scale. I got curious: Who are they and how long did it take? 👇

wow. learned the fastest startup to go 0->$100m revenue was not Cursor(>12mo), Mercor (~12mo),or Lovable (8mo). ->it was Axiom Trade they went 0->$100m in PROFIT in 4mo with < 10 ppl this makes it the fastest growing startup ever 🤯
