If you are an early / MVP stage startup and spending 20-50% of your time doing manual tasks, automation using a suit of tools will reduce this time to <10%.

Game changer π€β
Billions of hours of human effort go into navigating checkout flows every year.
Allowance is changing this β just say what you want and AI agents handle checkout with spend-limited, one-time virtual cards.
Allowance (@useallowance) lets AI agents safely make purchases using one-time virtual cards with built-in guardrails for things like travel booking, price tracking, reservations, and e-commerce checkout.
Congrats on the launch, @dasmersingh!

Have a long flight so time to do a thread on a question I get in some form at least half dozen times a week
Where will value accrue in AI from here
Think: foundation models, apps, middleware, full-stack blah blah blah etc
Iβm in a group with 1,000 exited founders.
Guess what is the most popular and recommended investment post exit?
Car? House? Plane? Yacht?
No.
A chef.
Wow @benmezrich β this blew my mind π€― My main takeaway: @elonmusk is indeed a genius, but also very much human. The same instincts that propelled him at Tesla/ SpaceX, created chaos at Twitter. That doesnβt mean one right and the other wrong. Everything needs context.
@NotionHQ you have locked @Heininz and me out of one of our crucial founder workspaces. Since we added our second email somehow you orphaned those spaces!
No one has responded to our 3 chaser emails π€―
This is very disappointing. Can you get back to us urgently? π΄
Good thread to understand the potential impact of $SIVB
Seen a couple funds looking to trade uninsured deposits at a discounts for startups. This will be crucial unless a buyer can be found quickly.
Ping me if you want to be put in touch!
$SIVB closure & receivership is going to have a massive impact on the tech ecosystem. SVB was not just a dominant player in tech but were highly integrated in some nontraditional ways. A few things we'll see in the coming days / weeks...
YC's application deadline has technically passed, but they're still accepting apps! I really want to see more female founders apply. So if YOU are a woman founder, apply to @ycombinator asap & feel free to message me so I can refer you: ycombinator.com/apply
We're excited to announce that we're part of the @ycombinator W22 batch!
We make it easy to book a chef, helping couples, families and groups of friends enjoy great food in the comfort of each others' homes at the same price as going to a busy restaurant bit.ly/3rf7Slc
