When we met @JoeAverbukh/@stopachka at @SonWinBrooklyn in '22 - it was clear they were generational builders. Yesterday, @instant_db released an API that gives agents full-stack backends complete with a database, a sync engine, auth tools, file storage, and presence. 🧠🤯👇

After visiting NYC this week, I can confidently say Brooklyn is the place to build a startup. The efficiency is on a different tier.

We loved the energy last night at 3rd annual Community Gathering for #NYTechWeek. It was amazing to see our founders, LP's, and operator network engaging over a few cold beers and we are extremely grateful to be surrounded by such a supportive and hard working community.
This tweet made me chuckle:
Absolute 🔥. @FoundersPodcast is basically a Gatling Gun spraying bars around the room.

This is the way to go. I repeat my earlier question: when will we get the first billion dollar revenue company with ten employees?
The New York Times profiled a start-up with 28 employees serving nearly 50 million users. That company is us. The traditional startup playbook: raise massive funding, hire hundreds of employees, and worry about profitability "later." But there's another way. Everyone at Gamma…
Gamma CEO Grant Lee is unusual among AI founders. He's kept his team small. He prides himself on running a startup with more $$$ in the bank than it's raised from VCs. And it's worked: with 50M users for its AI slides, Gamma has now passed $50M in ARR, @UpstartsMediaCo reports.
