This guy has five million AI agents tracking everything publicly available about three billion people! He spent half a million bucks doing that. Be scared? Or be educated? @michaelfanous1 runs nyne.ai/ and I have a lengthy conversation about what he's doing and why it could lead to a new kind of social network.

We're excited to partner with @oneleet to deliver AI-native GRC workflows to all compliance teams. We were impressed with @BryanOnel86 and the team from the moment we met them. AI-native GRC is inevitable, and together we're going to capture it.
Oneleet and @simdotai are entering into an exclusive partnership to launch the first AI-native GRC workflow solution. This is a big step toward replacing slow, manual compliance work with intelligent workflows built for enterprise scale.

It’s amazing when a $10B company sues you because your app "looks and feels" like theirs Let me give you a tip: Instead of spending 300 bucks on an over-priced @WHOOP , you can get @bevel_health for free. We want to bring great health to *everyone*. We will build, not resort to lawfare.
@WHOOP just filed a lawsuit against us. A $10B company with 800 employees is scared of us, a 20-person team making health tracking accessible to all. Rather than focusing on product and innovation, Whoop has decided to use its newly raised capital on lawfare. In this video, I share our side of the story, explain why their claims are baseless, and why we believe fighting back is the right thing to do.

Most software still infers human behavior from thin proxies like IP traffic and outdated enrichment. That starts to break in an agent-first world. Congrats to @michaelfanous1 and @emad on @NyneAI 5.3M oversubscribed seed. Nyne is helping define what the next data stack looks like.

Anyone affected by the @blocks layoffs today please reach out. We are hiring killer engineers. Drop me a note: Michael@nyne.ai
Feb 26
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

10 years ago, there were 10 people around my kitchen table. No structure, no brand, no certainty. Just a handful of builders showing up for something that yet didn’t exist. Since then @southpkcommons has grown to over a 1000 members. Today, 25,000 people apply to SPC every year. We have offices in SF, NYC, and Bangalore. But SPC isn’t about the numbers, it’s about the people and what emerges when they choose to show up for each other. It looks like @anuraggoel, already successful and credible, showing up with generosity, helping others, sharing work, iterating in public. Patterns sharpened and @render was born. It looks like @thejamescad and @dbabbs, who met at SPC to become cofounders building @tryprofound. One of the superpowers of SPC is the collision rate—not the shallow kind, but the kind that only happens when people keep showing up long enough to build trust. It looks like @MaximilianMona, who moved out to California in an RV to be at SPC and eventually build Ironsite. That’s someone saying, with their whole life: this matters. And it looks like @AshtonJEaton, an Olympic gold medalist, walking into SPC not for a career pivot, but for a deeper reinvention. To trade mastery for learning. Not for optics. For truth. SPC has been designed by the community and for the community, with one goal that hasn’t changed: pay it forward. We’ve helped normalize taking time to find truly meaningful work, whatever shape that might take. So on this ten-year anniversary, I want to thank the people who made SPC what it is. The ones who showed up when they didn’t have a narrative. The ones who lived in the question — and lingered in uncertainty for long enough to find out. The ones who came back, again and again, for the work and for each other. Happy ten years, SPC. Thank you for showing up!

The goal @southpkcommons is to build maximally ambitious companies. Take some time to find the right mountain. Don't confuse motion for progress. Our first 10 years have been strong. Now we get to to go build the next decade. This article captures us well:

I've worked with @dwr since the early days of Coinbase, I'm an investor in Farcaster, built on top of Farcaster, and joined the Farcaster team with Dan as my manager. I'd easily work for Dan again and I have context across 12 years vs any insane hit pieces farming engagement

As we're beginning to rollout our hardware, I decided to show a little of what we are building. A small, strong, cheap to make, Android. At vitrus.com we're making them so people can *own* the entire stack of these machines on their factories, workshops, creative lives. Fully assembled in California. No back-doors, all the freedom. In details here đź§µ

The notion of the scientific paper was invented in 1665. It's time for a radical rethink regarding the dissemination of scientific knowledge and discoveries. Interested? So are we at @southpkcommons

The average dunning email gets ignored. You are literally sending "please ignore me" messages to customers who owe you money. Playbooks - our workflow system for intelligent collections - is now live on the @usemonk platform. A system that reasons, not just reminds. We filmed a 60 second video showing you an experiment between @zhou_squared and @francescocoacci collecting $100K. Finance, biz-ops and post-sales teams should not be spending time chasing customers. Many spend 10 hrs/week doing what Joe did in this video: - context switching between tools (slack, gmail, quickbooks, google sheets) - breaking flow from deep work - sending reminders because the average dunning email is ignored But agentic collections are not enough. Every customer relationship is different. Some need white-glove treatment and others a nudge. That’s why we built playbooks, giving every business a customizable collection workflow. With playbooks you can: - create triggers and workflows specific to a customer segment (tone shift, conditions, escalations to sales/customer support) - auto-resolve AP questions with context from relevant email threads - pause automatically when product questions or upsells opportunities come up Playbooks is how you get paid while you sleep. And we do it with professionalism and empathy that your customers deserve. Heading into Q1 with a gap between signed ARR and actual cash? Watch the video. And if you want to see bloopers from Frank/Joe filming, comment “payday” tag a teammate and we will send you bloopers from the shoot.

Founding is an act of invention. The moment a founder stops pursuing the creative edge, they become replaceable. The Minus One mindset makes you irreplaceable. Here's why.

Gamma is wild: - Just 50 people - Generating $100M ARR - Valued at over $2B - Profitable for 15 consecutive months - With more cash in the bank than they raised - In a category that most VCs dismissed In fact, one investor told @thisisgrantlee his idea was “the dumbest idea he had ever heard.” Today, @GammaApp is one of the hottest AI startups in the world, and unlike most fast-growing AI startups, they're a model for how to build a sustainable, profitable, and durable AI product and brand. In my conversation with @thisisgrantlee, we discuss: 🔸 How Gamma discovered product-market fit 🔸 Their process for building a “word-of-mouth growth machine” 🔸 How they leveraged more than 1,000 micro-influencers (instead of a few big names) 🔸 Why focusing on the “first 30 seconds” transformed their business 🔸 Their pricing strategy that led to profitability within months 🔸 How Grant thinks about building a durable “GPT wrapper” business Listen now 👇 • YouTube: youtu.be/3H0ngGU5pbM • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2yL… • Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 @TrustVanta—Automate compliance.
