If you’re launching your first app, remember this: Don’t just build, distribute. Even the best product needs attention. Your onboarding isn’t just a screen, it’s your first impression. Get that wrong and nothing else matters. Paid traffic only works when your retention does. Otherwise, you’re just renting users. And don’t ignore creators. They build trust faster than your landing page ever will. Build for traction, not luck.
working alone: you solve problems the way you've always solved them. working with the right people: you learn entirely new ways to think. collaboration isn't about splitting work. it's about expanding what's possible.
someone told me once: "you're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." i thought it was cliche. then i looked at my last 2 years. every shift in my thinking came from someone pushing me to think differently.
the person who believed in me before i had anything to show changed everything. not because they gave me money or connections. because they made me believe i wasn't crazy for trying. sometimes you don't need advice. you need someone who sees it too.
I’m 27. If you’re 16-27, read this: Start building online now. • Build every day • Write every day • Create every day Show up every single day. The internet gives you something no generation had before: The ability to build an audience and a business with your laptop. Use it. • Share what you learn • Solve your own problems • Sell the systemized solutions Build an audience. Then build whatever you want. If you spend the next few years learning skills, building an audience, and helping people, your life will look completely different. Most people waste these years. So it's the perfect time to get ahead. Start building now.
stop asking for "networking tips." you don't have a strategy problem. you have a courage problem. you know exactly who you should reach out to. you're just scared they'll ignore you. spoiler: most will. the ones who don't? those are your people.
you have 500 LinkedIn connections but can't name 10 people who'd take your call on a bad day. quantity is a vanity metric. depth is everything. how many people in your network actually know what you're working on right now?
most networking advice is backwards. people say "build your network before you need it." wrong. build relationships when you have nothing to offer. that's when you find out who actually likes you vs who likes what you can do for them. the connections that matter aren't transactional.
@readswithravi been thinking about this a lot lately. tolerance isn't enough though. you need velocity of failure. fail fast, learn faster, move on. sitting with failure too long is just as bad as avoiding it.

“If you want to be successful, I would encourage you to grow a tolerance for failure.” — Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang
@readswithravi yes, but there's a difference between tolerating failure and learning from it. i've failed at the same thing 3 times because i didn't actually extract the lesson. tolerance is step one. speed of learning is step two.
Yeah
“The most important thing that’s going to happen in the world in the next 3-4 year is data centers in space” - @GavinSBaker We have the first Nvidia H100 operating in space at @starcloud_ 🚀
@andrewchen maybe most capable, but most social? doubt it. GenZ grew up performing for an audience. AI-native will grow up delegating to machines. the irony: they'll need human connection skills more than ever, but have less practice building them.
Yep, the first principles @elonmusk people want to meet the right person at the right time without awkward coffee chats. We're just the shortcut to that outcome. @heyemilyai
People don’t want to buy software or platforms or even products They want to buy outcomes

3 and 5 are everything. when testing Emily @heyemilyai , the people who became our best users could tell me exactly how much time they waste on intros and what they've already tried. vague pain = not ready to buy.
YC taught us to never take a sales meeting without asking these 7 questions first: 1) What made you decide to take this call 2) Tell me about the problem. How long have you had it 3) How bad is it? Who else does it affect? 4) How do you quantify the cost/impact of this problem
@chrispisarski 3 and 5 are everything. when testing Emily @heyemilyai , the people who became our best users could tell me exactly how much time they waste on intros and what they've already tried. vague pain = not ready to buy.
Emily connects you with the right people at the right time. @heyemilyai
Explain your product in one sentence. Be clear about what it does. No buzzwords. If you can do that, I’ll consider investing. Hit me.
