What if instead of selling to customers, you just bought them? That's the AI roll-up. And it might be the most underrated GTM strategy for founders in Asia right now.

Three questions to stress-test your industry:
Can AI automate the core service, not just the back office? Still running on pen and paper? Has PE already rolled it up and pushed valuations high?
Yes, yes, no — you're in rollable territory.

The defensibility isn't a product insight.
It's execution and team composition.
Once the engine is running, it's hard to copy. PE floor, VC ceiling. That's the bet.

Selling out 40,000 seats with zero existing followers isn't a content strategy, it's @CloutedHQ's formula for an era of distribution-first marketing.
"The only thing remaining valuable is distribution and
data. The Clouted team has built real infrastructure for a problem that every brand and creator in the world has but nobody has solved at this level." @lessin
Today, Clouted is announcing their $7M round led by us, alongside @GoldHouseCo, @weekendfund, @ZVC_Official, @GondorCapitalIO, @IterativeVC, @AppWorks,@_surgeahead, and @speedrun.

Our portfolio manager built an AI intern to help manage support for our 380 portfolio founders. She said training him felt a lot like training a human one. Except he doesn't make the same mistake twice. Here's what she learned: 🧵

Train via comparison, not rules. She’d write her own version of a ticket, ask him to compare, and tell him to apply what he noticed. It was easier than explaining every rule or preference from scratch.

Right now, she still goes line by line in Airtable to check his work. The day she stop doing that is the day our “intern” graduates. Building with AI is a skill. You only get better by doing it.

Is the founder journey lonely? Sometimes.
One big reason is pressure to look put together in front of customers, teams, and investors

Many founders think they need to present this polished, flawless version of themselves... but everyone that interviews you at Iterative has been a founder before, so they know what it really takes to build a startup.

🇸🇬 Interview in person, hear back by EOD
Fundraising is a LOT of waiting to hear back. For our upcoming W26 batch, we want to move fast: we're trying a small number of in-person interviews in Singapore, where you'll hear back from us on the day itself.

Agree or disagree: the best way to become a great founder is to expose yourself to other great founders

Anyone else feel guilty about taking breaks?
Lots of founders do. The most common reason we’ve heard: feeling like your company “isn’t where it should be”
