A space for founders

New startup idea:

VibeDetector
“Hotdog or not hotdog” for detecting products that are vibe-coded or not.

An easy cybersecurity play.
The really cool thing is making something useful
every founder who waits too long before launching
Do you agree with Jacob Goldstein? Does it resonate with you?

The really cool thing is making something useful…
i’ve stopped waiting until everything is perfect before i share. this is wat building in public looks like for me.
What you do with money is you buy stuff. If you can’t buy a lunch with that asset it’s not a money.
Much more successful than any religious mythology. Not everybody believes in God but everybody believes in money.
Money is the most successful story ever told.
Whenever I get a seemingly overreaching legal agreement now, I resist getting offended and ask the person I’m negotiating with what they intended.

99% of the time their lawyer is just being overly aggressive.
One side effect of running my own businesses for 8 years is when a not so great situation happens you're so used to getting punched in the gut a lot that your brain has been trained to just handle it as best as possible and move on. Otherwise you'd be at a complete standstill all the time
In crypto we circle jerk each other about tech. As a founder of a tech intensive company, I’ve come to the conclusion product sense, gtm and bd are what matter.

Great tech, bad bd ngmi
Meh tech, phenomenal bd gmi
What's the right (or maximum) number of people to have a functional "small group chat" that doesn't need heavy moderation and constant presence?

Yet it allows people to have sensible conversations about deeper or even philosophical topics?

Any experience or suggestions? Maybe @danicaswanson 😻🙏

The DAO Projects' Death Spiral

When your hiring sequence reveals strategic chaos.

Projects scrambling to hire "Investor Relations" and "Fundraising Leads" right after searching for a COO aren't building - they're drowning.

1/ The org chart shouldn't precede the product.

2/ Technical competence alone won't save you. If it is even there.

You may believe in the right thing, but if you don't know how to execute on it nor how to find people who can - you should move aside and try a different game.

You're wasting resources for all ☠️
"You can be successful in two ways -- you can be successful by doing the right thing, or doing things right."

Meaning you don't have to catch lightning in a bottle right away, you can execute well and iterate until you find market fit

Great watch
Printed this out for myself a few days ago. Finally I have my vision.
System is broken. Definitely.
It’s really wild how unbounded ideas are. Although it’s true that ideas without action are only ideas, there’s also truth in the fact that a great idea is better than any idea. The value of arriving at a great idea faster, with fewer deployed resources, and making it entirely adaptable—“The Opportunity”—in the moment will trump any idea paired with a ton of action.
