You can work 5 days a week and succeed as a startup. Mercury has done that from day 0 and we are valued @ $5.2bn 7 years after launch. I have been an entrepreneur for 20 years and raised 3 kids while doing it. The point of success is to have a great life not just a startup 😊

A related lesson from @bchesky: if you're a founder struggling to hire the right exec, you may need to do the job yourself first. Brian is an incredible storyteller. He idolized the great storytellers, such as Walt Disney and Steve Jobs. This was critical for Airbnb, since it was a category creator that romanticized travel. Inviting a stranger to stay in your home felt idiotic. Telling the right stories, connecting them to the mission, and even insisting on professional photos built the trust the company needed to grow. But Airbnb is also a scaled operations company. Ensuring seamless bookings and check-ins. Sending payments. Supporting hosts. Serving customers. Providing hospitality. Complying with international regulations, laws, and tax remittances. He had to idolize the great operators like Amazon too. Finding the right operations leaders took time. Brian spoke to the best, learned the craft, and did the job himself until he understood it well enough to know what to hire for. In 2025, Airbnb booked 533 million nights and experiences across 220+ countries and regions. Nearly 17 guests checking in every second. That scale doesn't happen if you hire for a job you don't yet understand yourself.

Why Brian still obsesses over recruiting: "Sam Altman (@sama) told me you're going to spend 50% of your time on hiring. I never did. It was my death blow. As a leader, you can choose if you want to spend time hiring or managing. The more time you spend on recruiting, the less

I vibe-coded this MVP using @anything to fix a recruiting problem I kept running into: slow & messy enrichment. Best vs Full Enrichment, name cleanup + primary email control, accurate personal emails. And it’s fast. MVP is live → tinyurl.com/verro-demo

Google just launched a killer new product for kids (and their parents!) You can now ask Gemini to "create a storybook" from a prompt - and even add photos and drawings. It generates a beautiful, interactive story, which Gemini can read aloud 🤯

I pulled the most recent post I could find on here for each program. Some of these focus on specific areas (AI for Conviction Embed, Games for a16z Speedrun), while others focus on specific stages (pre-product/idea for SPC, Seed stage for Arc). x.com/JPBrebner/stat…

Here's the takeaway from this image or any of those lists of accelerators/early stage funding programs: There is so much capital out there for talented founders. So many programs. The question is what will help you avoid a local max and find your global max.
