Two or three of the best posts he's ever written all went up on a Saturday afternoon - the exact time every founder is told not to post. He gave us tips to cut through the noise: "If you just outsource the opinion to Claude, then you are leveling the playing field to everyone else" "The closest your post is to how you talk, the fewer objections you're gonna have to posting it" Don't avoid weekends. Buyers are creatures of habit - they're on the couch checking the feed everyone else abandoned. @JamesonZaballos Co-Founder & CEO @NapaMediaLLC on @Fondocom @thestartpod

Global markets were built for everyone. Access wasn't. Millions of traders outside the US watch Tesla move. Watch Nvidia earnings. Watch SpaceX rumors explode timelines. But when it's time to act? The door closes. Mochatrade is rebuilding that layer. A perpetual futures platform for US equities. Built for global traders first. Trade TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, and 50 US stocks Up to 50x leverage 24/7 markets No US brokerage account required Deposit in local currency. Trade in minutes. Stay self-custodial the entire time. Because the future of trading won't look like legacy brokerage apps. It'll be: Borderless Always-on Crypto-native infrastructure underneath Simple UX on top Global traders still can't easily access leveraged US equities. India alone drives 60% of the world's derivatives volume. That contradiction became the company — starting with India, then the rest of the world. "We have experienced the pain point ourselves" Parth and Chetan grew up in India watching this door stay closed. So they built the platform they wished existed. Not another broker. An access layer for the next generation of retail traders. 🎙️ @_ParthVader_ & @theblackmanda, Co-Founders, mochatrade.com on @Fondocom @thestartpod Huge thanks to @compai for making this episode possible!

In many cases, the best AI companies aren't replacing software. They're giving it a login. Every software company for years has made the same pitch to manufacturers: clean APIs, migrate your stack, rip out your ERP It rarely works well. The ERP is the company brain. Years of data. You can't rip it out any more than you can rip out someone's memory @nikolas_keller & Co-Founder @lukaspostulka figured out the obvious thing that everyone missed Stop trying to replace the software. Give an AI employee a login instead. @walterindustry signs into SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Oracle the way a new hire would Ready to go from day 1. Works out of Teams and email like the rest of the team. Reads orders. Enters them. Places supplier POs. Catches pricing errors before they ship... Not another dashboard. Not another integration project. Not another rip and replace. A purchase order that used to take 15 minutes now takes a few seconds. The insight came from a $ 100M manufacturer who had a full-time employee doing nothing but typing purchase orders into an ERP Not because the work was valuable. Because the software demanded it. With Walter, your software stays. The manual work disappears. 🎙️ @nikolas_keller, CEO & Co-Founder of @walterindustry on @fondocom @thestartpod Huge thanks to @UseCorgi for making this episode possible!

Relationships drive revenue. That's why more companies are investing in dinners, customer events, founder meetups, and community gatherings. But here's what happens after the event: You sourced the attendees You sent the invites You hosted the event Then everyone goes home Now you're digging through Slack messages, WhatsApp chats, notes apps, spreadsheets, and email threads trying to remember: Who showed up. Who you talked to. What was discussed. Who deserves a follow-up. Most of that context never makes it back into the business. The event created value. The workflow lost it. @pavoot_com is an AI event manager built for companies that run customer events: "Turn events into pipeline" It helps teams find the right attendees and draft personalized invitations It shows who's in the room and why they're relevant It lets teammates capture notes around each attendee and share context with each other in real time And afterward, those conversations can flow back into the CRM instead of disappearing into someone's phone. The event was never the hard part. Keeping what it created is. Because relationships don't create value when they're made They create value when they're remembered 🎙️ @gohar_tamrazyan, CEO & Co-Founder @pavoot_com on @Fondocom @thestartpod (full ep in comments) Huge thanks to @rhobusiness for making this episode possible
