Will this complement @StoryProtocol? R the two protocols (and others like them), which are complimentary, to be siloed like web2 Big Tech oligarchy? @ycombinator promotes #LittleTech — presumably to democratize the oligarchy in Big Tech. DeFi needs democratization.
The Fairchildren didn’t just build chips—they built a flywheel. Every unicorn since has launched the next wave. That’s America’s edge — the freedom to create startups, to scale them, to achieve an exit, and to launch what’s next. #LittleTech
THE PALANTIR MAFIA 🔮
Palantir alumni founders have raised $34B total, at an average of $800M per company, and created 15 unicorns
Over 6% created companies worth over $1B
App developers are, in effect, limited to using two companies — Apple and Google — if they want to bring their apps to market. Both companies control nearly 99.64 percent of app stores in the United States. So if Apple and Google deny or remove an app, it spells death for that app company.Â
This is opposite of an efficient market. OAMA evens those odds for #LittleTech and innovators!
Big Tech giants have forced American consumers to use their app stores at the expense of innovative startups that threaten their bottom line.
Today, @SenBlumenthal and I filed the Open App Markets Act to promote competition and protect consumers within the app market.
"Out of the night

'the best 🌌 to e̵s̵c̵a̵p̵e̵ bend reality's 🥾 sole

The most revolutionary ideas often come from the unlikeliest of places: small startups & entrepreneurs who refuse to accept the status quo. Let's give them the freedom to innovate & shape the future. #LittleTech
My 5am startup reflect on yesterday - so humbled text.ai was top 5 in our @ProductHunt launch - particularly when the three companies ahead of us are worth 400M, 530M and 300B respectively. We’ve got a big mission to make AI accessible to all. And we’re proud to be part of the #littletech movement and appreciate @garrytan and @ycombinator giving us a platform to compete and innovate. But that was yesterday. What do we build and push ahead on today? #StartupLife#WhatsNext
AI startups are driving innovation and jobs in NJ, but costly regulations threaten their ability to scale. Legislators should focus on smart, tailored policies to protect progress and encourage investment in #LittleTech.

I don't know @Lengedady Let's find out. Hey @Meta /@RealityLabs does anyone over there hate me? If not, "wen" cease or check for valuation? I should not have to waste my pennies telling your C-Suite what they already know. Especially when general counsel blocked me on X and then sold some their stock less than a week later. IJS --- #LittleTech like @realDonaldTrump said.
Happy Friday!
Off to dream up the next steps for my company.
Today is the best day to start building a better future.
The best tools for this @roam@NotionHQ@OpenAI and a lot of hard work! #littletech
A nation's startup ecosystem is so fragile.
As @JTLonsdale said this morning, regulatory capture almost killed early PayPal.
No PayPal = No Tesla. No YouTube. No SpaceX. No LinkedIn. No Palantir. No Yelp. And Many Others.
The freedom to try sets America apart. #LittleTech
Proud to be on this slide, even though it was for a relatively small contribution involving parsing mime email formats.
@rails changed my professional life. #littletech
In 2006, @DHH presented a slide listing all the contributors to @Rails up to that date.
...back when you could still fit everyone on a single slide (and be legible)
