Fun to think about this... the company we created from this tweet was Spacebar Visuals, a B2B video agency. Last month, we did $88k in revenue, have a team based in Austin, TX globally, and 100 happy clients. @ryansatkinson is a force of nature. We need to do this again.

One of the best things I did after selling my first business was something that made me zero dollars. Every 2-3 weeks I'd host a dinner in a random city in the US. The model was simple: I had a sponsor cover costs some, and just paid for the ones where I didn't have or want a sponsor. Overall it was roughly breakeven but i met 100s of interesting people, mostly entrepreneurs, and many of which I am still in touch with today. I regret not doing more and may kick something like this up again.

We hired a teenager to implement AI in our business. He's a senior in HS doing ~$6k/mo. He takes calls in-between classes (i've been on a google meet with him from his HS cafeteria). Unreal - he's mostly focused on working with agencies/B2B services. If anyone wants an intro, happy to facilitate. (We're still early on and dealing with standard implementation challenges, but seeing some good early results and I'm very bullish on what we'll achieve in Q2).

First time founders jump in to fix every issue right away. They feel the need to be involved, leading to putting out fires all day long. I spent the first 5 years of my career doing this every single day. However, most issues solve themselves with the right team & process. You just need to let it play out. Those that don't? Find the source of the issue. Fix that. If you spend most of your time here, your life and company will get meaningfully better.

Had my lawyer review some docs for an investment. She said that my Claude contracts can be edited, but it will take her longer and therefore be more expensive than her just starting them from scratch. Truth? Or coping?

We’re generating 5 meetings a day for spacebar studios. Often more. I am still taking all the sales calls and purposefully limiting how many slots we open per day. Who is good at sourcing / training sales talent? I’m looking to build a repeatable motion. The demand is there.

First 9 months in business for Spacebar Studios: -29.2% MoM growth -$0-$50k MRR in <9 months -Only 1 churned client (budget) -20 net new leads/mo (newsletters, referrals, outbound) -A distributed team - 2 FTEs, 4 contractors AI for workflows/research Agencies in the AI era are highly underrated.

Is there a Wispr flow for screen recording that can easily be dictated and dropped into claude for context?

My sister has twin toddlers at home and runs a custom embroidery business she built from scratch. A couple months ago we had an idea to launch a travel and wellness newsletter together. Retreats, hotels, experiences that actually help you slow down. We called it Wander & Reset. We're two months in and starting small (under 1k subs) while still finding our footing. But the engagement is there and the content gets better every week. The dream is to build this to real scale and give her a brand she owns -- 100k readers, a business she built around something she loves. Crowded space, but the interest is only growing.

Last year I was a top 1% chat user. in 2026, I'd be surprised if I am using it more than once or twice a week simply out of habit. It's unbelievable how much the product has declined while Claude has accelerated.

I have a small SaaS business that's doing ~$14k ARR. A handful of small customers and a handful of larger brands using it. It's in the data space, and I spent ~$50k on the build out and have owned it for a few years. Revenue has trended downwards, despite the product being solid. I've spent a grand total of maybe 5 hours on this in the past 12 months. We have other much larger businesses that require my full attention, and I just have never been able to dedicate the time to fully invest into this. If interested, I'd sell it for ~2x ARR. It's doing about $10k-ish in profit (a few small subscriptions like AWS/Heroku/Hosting) and occasional dev hours here and there but it's light. Built on React/Node.js. Has a ton of data, ranks well organically, auto charges clients on Paddle, maybe 1-2 support tickets a week. If someone actually put some effort into this, it'd work. It won't be a $20M business, but it absolutely can do 7 figures if you dial it in. Or just run it on the side and pocket the cash flow. DM or comment if interested. It's time for a new owner.

Love to see it. We're just about a year in, have grown (almost) every single month and have only had 1 client churn. Spacebar Studios is a clear leader in building and growing B2B newsletters.

I'm thinking of hiring a fractional CFO/controller type (not sure what I need just yet). Who should I speak with? DMs open

Issues we found this morning: -Annual enterprise client for LimeLeads was locked out of their account -- turns out when we switched billing providers over, their account never migrated for some reason. -An ad network we use for Jolt Media had a broken API for one of our brands and we missed out on ad rev from their link for 1.5 months. All-in, that is $10k in misses from Dec/Jan. Happens. Patched those gaps, and on to the next.

A lot of B2B services businesses would be much better off never selling to companies below $5M/yr in revenue, charging 3-5x what they charge now and saying no to anything outside of their core competency. yet, everyones selling to small businesses, saying yes to anything and charging as little as possible (and therefore over-promising and under-delivering)

When something works, do more of it. If a channel drives 4 leads/week, why not 8? 16? 32? That question forces clarity. Growth stalls due to a scarcity mindset, ICP misalignment, delivery constraints, or slow payback periods. Scale exposes the constraint -- do everything you can to then remove it.

Every year, @thematt_ross sends me (and many others) a physical book he read and thinks I'd like. it's an incredible idea and I get a ton of value out of it. I'm sure others do too, and I think of Matt now when I have an opportunity or an idea that he'd benefit from. This year, he sent me The Gambler. I returned the favor and sent a copy of Confessions of an Advertising Man. If every time you read a book and then sent a copy to someone you think would also like this, I can guarantee your life would be better and more interesting. Very few people take that extra step to do something slightly out of their way and out of the ordinary, and it stands out.
