Getting a surprise shoutout on my all-time favourite pod, My First Million, was something else.

There’s still plenty of debate about our approach to this market; and that’s fine. As long as we stay true to our mission of empowering people at a time they need it most with the best tools available, others who share that mission will see it too.
Moments like this remind you why you started.
A really special one for me and the team.

Y-Combinators Airbnb investment is just mind-blowing.
$20K for 6%, which is ~$2,200,000,000 at current close.
That is 110,000x MoM, a ~275% IRR compounded over ~11.5 years.

They could make 100,000 shit deals that go to zero and they’d still be up. It’s hard to comprehend the asymmetric returns of VC

Some of my favourite quotes from Jeff Bezos' statement to the U.S. House Committee.
1. To invent you have to experiment, and if you know in advance that it’s going to work, it’s not an experiment.

How I started a ‘profitable’ business in 7-days.
I set myself a challenge to find a profitable business model in 24-hours. Admittedly it took a week to execute but here are the results!

Takeaway: The cost per follower is not linear. There's value in considering both reach and engagement when budgeting for campaigns.

Talking AI and eu/acc to Slovakian business leaders yesterday. Some of the warmest and most ambitious people I've met. These people love their country and will do whatever it takes to make it prosper. They know they can't rely of any lobbying or gvt support - they're on their own and that gives them superpowers.

I stepped down from Outrank a while back to focus on AIApply, and @eugZolotarenko brought in the legend himself, @tibo_maker. What a team. They hit $10k MRR in just a few months, and the product is absolutely crushing it. It’s been incredible to watch it grow—bittersweet for sure, but there’s nothing better than seeing a project in great hands, scaling to new heights.
✨ LAUNCH DAY ✨
I joined at $300 MRR, revamped the product, rebranded as Outrank and went public.
In 2 months, it skyrocketed to $10k+ MRR 🤯
Why is it working?
Because it went from "just" generating blog posts ..
.. to being a fully Autonomous Blog Management machine
Every day, Outrank looks for hidden opportunities and turns them into high organic traffic, making YOUR product more successful
Today, I am launching on Product Hunt with TONS of improvement 😻
To check it out and/or support the launch: producthunt.com/posts/outran… ❤️
I am starving for feedback, feel free to share your honest thoughts, even if it hurts 🙏

1. They set very ambitious goals.
They always seem to be reaching for the stars.
But even before Elon Musk founded Tesla or started launching rockets into space, he was setting ambitious goals for himself and his companies.

6% for $20K (pre dilution) = ~2-2.5% today, post-dilution (60% dilution).
Initial Share count (split-adjusted) = 250m shares. 6% = 15m shares. Currently worth $2.2B at $145/sh = (2-2.5% of FDSO).

I just did a street interview with a guy who stands on a ladder and tries to guess your job. I saw him a few months ago, basically begging people to get on this ladder in the middle of Shoreditch. Everyone thought it was weird. Admittedly so did I. Today there was a queue down the road of people wanting to take photos with him. He's got 6 million followers on TikTok, and videos get 20 million views regularly. Little reminder to myself that you can just do things and being a little weird can be an insane edge.

I've seen a TS from a fairly established London VC that makes founders spend ~50% of the seed investment on the fund's in-house 'services'.

5. They surround themselves with talented people.
They know that they can’t do everything by themselves. They build up a team of incredibly talented people who help them bring their visions to life.

Response Rates: Didn't significantly differ between micro and mid-sized influencers, indicating that engagement is more about the pitch than the size of the audience. Response to email was around 80%

Some drunk guy did this once when we were in it, and the lift got stuck for 2 hours. Yet to forgive him.

Dying is like when you unplug your television. The power source is gone and there’s just blackness. But… that short period where the little light stays on even after you’ve unplugged it, that your last bit of consciousness, and it’s infinitely long.
