A lot of smart, talented friends have been reaching out lately, feeling like they’re missing out on the AI wave. Many of them are considering joining an early-stage AI startup — but what they often don’t realize is that this decision is less like picking a job, and more like.

Pretty exciting role!.

Tech Billboards Are All Over San Francisco. Can You Decode Them?

Love this framing!🎯 @realmadhuguru . Product management used to be about one-pagers, meticulously scoped Jira tickets, and months-long dev cycles. But with cost of building going down, the PM function is evolving into rapid prototyping and constant experimentation.

Not sure if @arrahman is in the town for his Wonderment Tour OR to meet Sam Altman and Aravind Srinivas!! 🤣.

Thanks, Sri, for sharing the message ❤️ . I’m overwhelmed by all the inbounds. Over 50 people reached out via DMs and emails asking for advice. I'm trying to get to as many as possible with thoughtful responses, hoping they find the advice helpful in navigating their next move!.

The most important things in life are difficult to measure. Judging people is one such skill; it is hard to read others, let alone teach this ability. You likely develop this skill only through experience, after meeting thousands of individuals.

RT @sri_batchu: Great advice and generous of Sudhee to offer to chat. As operators, you are extremely undiversified investors, so chose yo….

If executed well, it could be a $50-100B platform—a monster of an opportunity. @zhnlgnv @BenFletch11 you guys picked well.

Lovable could be bigger than we all may imagine, perhaps even bigger than WordPress @antonosika. A vertically integrated platform vision: domain + website frontend + CMS backend + payment rails/commerce engine + marketing automation + more!.

Traditional SaaS companies have two choices - either disrupt themselves or get disrupted. Who are some notable ones that have successfully transitioned to an AI-native architecture or rolled out Agentic capabilities? Intercom (Fin) comes to my mind, but looking for more examples.

This is so true, especially in these bizarre times with many founders acting like pure mercenaries. We have a few CEOs in our portfolio who refuse to take any salary or only draw the minimum needed to qualify for health insurance. Mad respect for them!🫡.

First portfolio co on @tbpn, always a special one! Thank you @johncoogan and @jordihays 🙌.

Outbound is Broken — and Why We’re Excited About Unifying the Sales Workflow ft. @unifygtm @austinh___ @HeggieConnor

Finding product–market fit is hard. But scaling growth? That shouldn’t be rocket science. For too long, Growth has been treated as an art—when in reality, it’s a data problem: targeting the right customer, at the right time, with the right message. Sounds simple, right? But.

RT @austinh___: Excited to share that we’ve raised a $40M Series B at @unifygtm to transform growth into a science. Many of the fastest gr….

I won’t be surprised if Salesforce, Workday, Zendesk and other core system of record companies will start charging AI startups for data & API usage.

Over the last 18 months, ChatGPT and Perplexity have chipped away at Google Search traffic. Now, with Perplexity launching an AI browser, we’ll see if Chrome has a real moat—or if it’s next to be disrupted. Apple’s still on the sidelines. The game’s heating up. 🔥.
