absolute killers, congrats to the team
can I borrow a dollar @albTian ?
We (@slashapp) raised a $100M Series C at $1.4 billion valuation to build the world's most powerful business banking platform.¹
The round was led by @RibbitCapital, and co-led by @khoslaventures & @GoodwaterCap.
And we're releasing Twin: the world’s first AI private banker.

creds to @apewoodx for putting it well: x.com/apewoodx/status/203593…
think we've basically been in a 125 year trend of the ego of the worker inflating to fill the void of lack of meaning for work, hence why there's incredible amounts of existentialism around what the loss of occupation (read: people losing titles) could mean post ai.
adult daycares were never sustainable but because the work has been meaningless (only to create shareholder value), the ego of the worker has had to inflate to fill this void. and it's been inflating for well over a century

seeing lots of gurus pitch openclaw for enterprise as a “free $100k/mo biz”
personally find this quite misleading
as it stands, openclaw web browsing in a privileged environment is a prompt injection magnet.
risks are real for any agents that:
> can see private data
> ingest untrusted content (the web)
> can communicate externally
ofc there’s still lots of value for individuals less concerned with data sensitivity
but for most sensitive enterprise workflows, it’s not prod‑ready just yet.

Exactly why we launched ClawGuys this week
Except we charge $100s instead of $1000s
(for now lol)
Just had our first batch of setup calls, and the amount of value people are missing by not at least testing out @OpenClaw is pretty staggering.

There's an opportunity right now to build a $100k per month side hustle as an AI Concierge.
And you don't even have to be *that* technical to do it. Just high agency.
There are probably millions of people out there who see all of the latest AI innovations like Claude Cowork, want to take advantage of them, but have no idea how to actually do that.
I know, because I'm one of those people...
I had dinner last night with the CEO of a multi-billion dollar tech startup. He was telling me about the full digital assistant/employee he just hacked together over the weekend. All of the things it's doing, how it's been an unlock for his workflows and life.
I told him I'd gladly pay him $5000 to come to my house and spend the day building me one using the same approach.
He laughed that he'd happily do that (though obviously won't given his day job).
There's a real, high cash flow opportunity for a hustler to launch a services business as an AI Concierge for the tech curious.
Ideally they would physically show up and build out a tool (or suite) to help an individual leverage the latest for their business and life.
I bet you could charge $5-10k for the initial upfront work and then some low ongoing service fee to keep the thing up to date (if the person wants that and needs help with it).
5-10 clients per month and you have a meaningful cash flow engine.
All comes down to the quality of what you deliver long term, but my guess is people would see a Month 1 positive ROI on the investment and referrals to their friends would drive the entire business.
Just a thought...

only two things required for you to copy cluely:
1. create quality original content
2. find users / accounts to post at scale
horizontal scaling is the key to solving organic growth.

so @cluely has hired over 700 clippers.
every single cluely-related piece of content gets crossposted across thousands of accounts, generating tens of millions of extra views.
here's everything you need to know about starting a massively viral clipping farm [THREAD]

instead of saying this, say this at SF functions:
related -> orthogonal
random -> stochastic
cool -> high signal
range of ideas -> overton window
friends -> the scene

lots of people will build wrappers around this.
my bet is on @_mattwelter / reelfarm to do it the best.

the 30-day tiktok playbook for 2025:
day 1-7: setup
> create 3-6 dedicated brand accs
> link & warm up with @shortdotshop
day 8: find trending formats
> search keywords in your niche on tt
> use relevant filters on @wesocialgrowth
> look at “inspo” tab on shortshop
> assign each acc to a specific format
day 9-14: duplicate winners
> use @reel_farm for slideshows
> veo3 for surrealist skits
> poolhall for faceless editors
> @sideshift_app for college creators
> playkit for ugc (larger budget)
> create 1-2 weeks worth of content
day 15: schedule posts
> use shortshop campaign manager
> upload all your content for each acc
> schedule out over 1-2 weeks
> sync up to video tracking tool
day 16-30: iterate
> after 2 weeks, evaluate best videos
> prio highest engagement
> double down, vary hooks / ctas
> rotate losers to different formats
> rinse & repeat
bonus: try scaling with paid ads
> once organic gains steam, layer in paid
> run tiktok ads with best organic content
> optimize using shortshop intelligence (coming soon)

week 1 is the most important
people expect views to all come at once.
the thing about organic is that results (beyond a certain point) are out of your control.
it may take a day, a week, or a month
but over time, organic will compound and your investment will pay off.
you just need volume & patience.

standard ugc campaign is 10 creators / 600 unique videos/month
if you achieve these numbers, you'll know you're on the right track:
