I probably shouldn't have said SpaceX "blew up" with "explosive" growth...

Proof you don’t need fancy cinematic skits, motion graphics, or b-roll supercuts to make a scroll-stopping launch video
I'm building cinematic games for movie theaters!
We're showing our first this week in one of the biggest film festivals in the world!

VCs care about assets under management that earn them fees
More AUM doesn’t mean they’re more helpful. Pick VCs with specific skills that fill the gaps in your team:
Recruiting, Customer connections,
Fundraising storytelling intros,
Big lab connections credits,
Pricing, GTM…

Has someone built something like this? I know so many founders who need a fundraising tool with:
-A verified database of VC with stage, sector, names, emails
-1:1 intro request email generator with read receipts
-Email scanning to auto-fill progress tracker
Call it “Back2Build”

You’re supposed to spend 2X as long on distribution as you did on creation.
But what could you create if that’s all you had to worry about?

There’s one central rule of storytelling so many founders forget:
It’s not about what you want to say, what drives business, or what was hard to build.
It’s only about what the audience finds profound, useful, or entertaining.
That’s earns you the right to say anything else.

Imitation is flattery. Luel copying Kled’s entire site design, fonts, colors, illustrations etc shows an abject lack of taste and ethics.
Not who I’d want holding my personal data.
General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled.
(skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context)
I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of.
This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.

Masterclass in rebuttal. Don’t pick a fight with kids who grew up editing video.

A lot of VCs are scared of consumer. They prefer the predictability of B2B. Consumer giants are rare.
But they get huge, create delight, and change culture. That’s what I love to fund and sponsor communities for, like ConGrow. hmu

last week I posted about bringing together cool consumer growth profiles in SF and I got 180 requests… crazy
Had to select a handful to be able to really connect & meet everyone 1 on 1
20 of us showed up last night to this very impromptu meetup at this crazy house (thanks for hosting @adamdotnew @zachdive @aaronli)
we got great food (thanks @JoshConstine) and drinks (thanks @composio)
this is just the beginning of our consumer growth mafia takeover
comment if you’d like to be part of the next one 🙏🏻

Nothing hits like “you did it… again” from a portco founder when you solve some problem while they fry bigger fish.

They nailed what a “hyperliquid” meetup would look like in SF, the city of paper fortunes…
Apr 23
Come out to the Hyperliquid SF meetup today!
We’ll meet at Marina Green park, food and drinks will be provided.
Excited to enjoy the beautiful weather, we’ll catch the sunset over Golden Gate Bridge!

Dynamism is America’s destiny, but only if SAAS guys stop assuming what heavy industry needs.
Max grew up on the job site. He’s seen the hard work first hand. And he has the solution to recognizing those who break their backs to build our future.
