there seems to be a “rule of 40” for AI businesses

if you are growing >3X yoy investors seemingly accept negative to low GM and ignore questions about durability

I really wish I could directly convey the daily optimism I get from working with deeptech founders. I'm literally overwhelmed with trying to find time to spend with all the amazing people chasing 5-10x hardware wins. I get to see new factories, new tech every day. amaze amaze

building *A* company is now clearly low-status

it’s not hard

incorporation + landing page + product + access to customers

it’s all really easy now to start and even feel like you are making progress

status has shifted to (sadly) raising credible venture capital - you don’t…

Come on. No question pricing is ridiculous and extortionary. But, an LLM can't teach you the people and life skills that you gain in college. It can help with what you can learn, but it can't teach you how to learn. It can't teach you to stand up in front of a class and make a…

One strange pattern in the lives of outliers is 99% of projects they worked on were failures.

Apple is sinking. Ballmer missed mobile. Tim Cook missed AI. That is like missing the Internet. New NVIDIA PC, Apple is not even participating. Peak Apple. Going down from here unless there is rapid, massive course correction.

LuminaForge
