3 years ago, Lawtrades was about to go bankrupt.
We failed to raise a Series A.
Nobody wanted to invest.
This month, we closed $6M in funding ($80M valuation) from 100 customers and investors using a link and no meetings.
Here’s how it happened, step by step.

“ok this startup is cool but …”
1980:
… what if IBM builds this?
1995
… what if Microsoft builds this?
2010
… what if Google builds this?
Today
… what if <huge AI lab> builds this?
reality is, if founders listened to the “what if” pessimists we’d never have any startups or new products. That’s why they’re building and the pundits aren’t
My observation: When these huge waves happen, these new markets are so damn big there will be tens of thousands of new viable companies, hundreds of unicorns, and a few iconic companies that become generational. The big cos play a role but can never compete with the glorious open market known as capitalism
So for all the “what if” people - sit down, log off X for a bit, and let the founders do their thing. And let’s cheer them on when they do

durable task flows = your agent survives a crash and picks back up from where it stopped. no lost work, no restart from scratch. exec approvals = you stop watching every command run and only get pulled in when something actually needs a human call. those two changes alone make agents feel like infra instead of demos.

nobody talks about agent drift on long runs. models degrade, context dilutes, outputs silently veer. 24/7 setups need checkpoints, not just autonomy. that's where the real value is.

what is the best tooling for 24-7 inference/agent-driven research? im trying factory but it stops and asks me questions even though i have 'auto' mode on.
tbh i think this is an even bigger killer app than LLM chatbots. who else is out there doing it?

the problem nobody building multi-agent systems will admit: the agents don't fail. the coordination does.
one agent hallucinates. another acts on stale data. the third makes an irreversible call. you don't catch it until it's already downstream.
"autonomous agents" is a marketing term. practitioners call it ghost management.

every founder i know has a version of the same habit: keep a notes app, a notion page, a slack thread, and a voice memo. all for the same thought.
we weren't disorganized. we were waiting for something that could hold context the way we do. that's what an actual AI teammate does.

Your OpenClaw agent isn't getting dumber mid-conversation. Its context window is filling up.
Add this to your AGENTS.md:
• After every major task → save decisions to MEMORY.md
• Run /compact after every 30 min of active work
• If context hits 50% → stop and compact immediately
• Before compacting → write key context to files FIRST
Session context is temporary. Files are permanent. Treat it that way

Delve, a YC-backed compliance startup that raised $32 million, has been accused of systematically faking SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance reports for hundreds of clients. According to a detailed Substack investigation by DeepDelver, a leaked Google spreadsheet containing links to hundreds of confidential draft audit reports revealed that Delve generates auditor conclusions before any auditor reviews evidence, uses the same template across 99.8% of reports, and relies on Indian certification mills operating through empty US shells instead of the "US-based CPA firms" they advertise. Here's the breakdown:
> 493 out of 494 leaked SOC 2 reports allegedly contain identical boilerplate text, including the same grammatical errors and nonsensical sentences, with only a company name, logo, org chart, and signature swapped in
> Auditor conclusions and test procedures are reportedly pre-written in draft reports before clients even provide their company description, which would violate AICPA independence rules requiring auditors to independently design tests and form conclusions
> All 259 Type II reports claim zero security incidents, zero personnel changes, zero customer terminations, and zero cyber incidents during the observation period, with identical "unable to test" conclusions across every client
> Delve's "US-based auditors" are actually Accorp and Gradient, described as Indian certification mills operating through US shell entities. 99% of clients reportedly went through one of these two firms over the past 6 months
> The platform allegedly publishes fully populated trust pages claiming vulnerability scanning, pentesting, and data recovery simulations before any compliance work has been done
> Delve pre-fabricates board meeting minutes, risk assessments, security incident simulations, and employee evidence that clients can adopt with a single click, according to the author
> Most "integrations" are just containers for manual screenshots with no actual API connections. The author describes the platform as a "SOC 2 template pack with a thin SaaS wrapper"
> When the leak was exposed, CEO Karun Kaushik emailed clients calling the allegations "falsified claims" from an "AI-generated email" and stated no sensitive data was accessed, while the reports themselves contained private signatures and confidential architecture diagrams
> Companies relying on these reports could face criminal liability under HIPAA and fines up to 4% of global revenue under GDPR for compliance violations they believed were resolved
> When clients threaten to leave, Delve reportedly pairs them with an external vCISO for manual off-platform work, which the author argues proves their own platform can't deliver real compliance
> Delve's sales price dropped from $15,000 to $6,000 with ISO 27001 and a penetration test thrown in when a client mentioned considering a competitor

the universal high income part is a long way off.
the "some people already don't need to work as hard" part is right now. x.com/elonmusk/status/203305…

before: your agent hits a login wall on half the sites you actually use.
after: one toggle in chrome settings. your agent uses your browser. your sessions, your logins, everything.

agents having their own email is obvious in hindsight.
next: their own bank account, phone number, legal entity.
the entire identity stack gets rebuilt. not for humans, for agents. that's a decade of infrastructure companies. x.com/agentmail/status/20321…

Today, we’re launching agent.email
