Too many founders get stuck climbing the wrong mountain. Not by accident, but because an investor pushed them onto the first hill in sight. This is the danger of commoditized capital and lean startup philosophy.
introducing Waves, camera glasses for creators. record in stealth. livestream all day. pre-order now.
Recently spent some time in #gundo visiting factories, assembly lines, warehouses. It’s a vibe-tangible, quietly intense, and patriotic. People are tackling hard problems in the real world because someone has to. Left with a lot of learnings and inspiration.
Spent a few days in El Segundo last week. It's an easy-to-miss spot near the beach. Nothing flashy. Just warehouses, big doors, steel buildings. You can smell and hear the hum, sparks, smell of metal and resin. Nobody talks about "disruption" or "changing the world" here. It's…
Every great endeavor starts at -1. Get support for your startup when it matters most, from the people who defined -1 to 0.
I used to obsess over "Founder x Market" fit. I was thinking about it all wrong. @m2jr introduced us to the term "Founder x Future" fit, and it immediately clicked as the better framework. Futures are yet to be defined and brim with open-ended possibility. Figuring out what…

We emphasize asking the right questions over finding solutions. These are the questions we are most curious about @southpkcommons
Questions over answers. We don't have requests for startups. We have requests for curiosity. Here's what we're most curious about right now.
The most philosophical conversations I’ve had are with @RanaXAdhikari. Fun listen.
Some people have answers. Others have better questions. If you’ve stopped asking “why”, you’re already behind.. When you get the chance to talk to experimental physicist @RanaXAdhikari you stay curious.
We never get tired of live demos. Because that's what a demo should be. We're excited to announce SPC India's first Demo Faire on July 30th! Join us. Find more info & RSVP in the comments ⬇️
How do you communicate ideas clearly? Especially as AI accelerates design, content, everything. I loved this conversation with my friend and legendary designer @soleio. He's one of the deepest thinkers I know on creative agency.
