Don’t just scale any mountain. Find Everest.

Too many founders get stuck climbing the wrong mountain. Not by accident, but because an investor pushed them onto the first hill in sight. This is the danger of commoditized capital and lean startup philosophy.

Always listen to @btaylor if you get a chance.

“If there's one lesson I wish I could give my younger self, it's to focus less on the technology and more on the customer need.” @btaylor has helped shape how billions interact with the internet, and now with @SierraPlatform, he’s rethinking customer interactions through AI that feels more human.

I've had the chance to work with some pretty phenomenal engineers in my career. @btaylor is one of the best coders I have ever met. I still love his Tornado webserver. So it's pretty amazing to hear him say: "judge a company by customer outcomes NOT technical milestones.”

Alright, let's do this. Startup Storytelling Challenge. 5 minutes max to impress the audience. This Sunday in Bangalore. Registration link below.

Can already tell we're going to set another record for @southpkcommons Founder Fellowship applications, and yet still most people will wait until the last 48 hours to submit. We're already meeting teams, now, before the rush. Apply ⬇️

Great example of what creative people can do with AI now. Everything in this is generated, but it still needed a very creative person (@faith_xcho) with clear visual direction, scripting, editing, & feel for working with AI tools. But 2 years ago this takes WAY longer to make.
