Instead of coffee stats or best dinner spots from Mercury, Brex, Ramp, etc. I want the data on how much they spent at the US Open, how much they spend at Golf clubs, that's where the real data is around enterprise sales. Everyone knows the best coffee shops, best dinner spots,

This is right, every hire I've ever made (or not) I've decided in one conversation. Sometimes we need one more to get the rest of the team onboard. But one conversation is all you need. One conversation and extend a fair offer (don't try to lowball employees), the best people

I first thought it was a random question at first but a vc friend asked me today "how can you get to 100k ACV" and turns out that's actually a fascinating thing to think about (even if it won't happen in the near term)

Nothing against abstraction layers, this is how say Google / Meta functions. But surprising to see they have this without the 100k employees that big tech has.

One thing I've seen interacting with all the big labs is that with the exception of xAI, there's a huge abstraction layer between people who do sales / customer success / relationships and the people actually working on the models, even more than traditional b2b saas xAI somehow

I knew Black Ops 7 would be bad because they rushed it out but didn’t expect it to be so bad

Saw a firetruck randomly stop by a group of kids and give them a small tour, and everyone was so happy. Need more of this.

In a strange way, TBPN is competing with venture firms as a result. TBPN sponsors are their portfolio and YC and a16z have theirs that they want to spotlight. Rage baiting just works for their portcos just like TBPN spotlight works for their portcos

I love Jordi but this post is funny because the whole premise of TBPN is to have a layer for tech companies to monetize X attention. YC, a16z, other venture firms, and other startups, are circumventing their business model to directly monetize attention versus pay TBPN. Also
Rage Baiting is for Losers Yesterday, YC announced Chad IDE aka “the brainrot code editor.” Chad is an AI code editor that allows you to gamble, watch TikTok, and use dating apps while working on coding tasks. Their launch rightfully got a lot of attention. On one hand it’s

We're 2 months away from kids claiming they did $100k ARR when they were 12 because they sold $300 worth of lemonade in a day
Nothing against Cursor or Notion (both great companies) but the biggest thing that has happened in the last 5 years is broad "founder" inflation A pet project for 2 months doesn't have to be a startup, an open source project that you worked on for 3 weeks in between jobs doesn't
