I made a fake founder persona. No product. No pitch. No deck. Just: - Stanford CS - Ex-Palantir - Used the word “AI” 3 times Sent cold emails to 34 VCs. 27 replied. 4 asked for a call. This game is rigged in ways most people don’t understand.
If your net worth <$1B your opinion on global politics doesn’t matter <$100M your opinion on any politics doesn’t matter <$10M your opinion on biz doesn’t matter <$1M your opinion doesn’t matter
AI rollups for drug cartels Cartels lose millions every week to dumb mules, missed handoffs, and border patrol surprises. Last month, $4M in coke vanished because a mule took the wrong exit and ghosted the drop point. They’re using Google Maps and WhatsApp to move bricks.…

you should be moving 10x faster. I'm hosting a 1,200 horse power speed cruise. inviting 30 high growth founders alongside @a16z @cluely + a mixer with @brexHQ. who's in?
More I stay in SF I realize most people just have bad ideas. They are great ICs but every time I ask them for advice and they try to go beyond their field of expertise and advice me on the broad business, its just stupid. ig there's something in having good ideas repeatedly.
That’s the stupidest limit @hinge How do I find love now 🥲

Code before lifting
i'm surprised that there aren't more engineers lifting, the best programmers and the strongest people ik are not much different (both on the spectrum)
this will be huge
