old way to build a $10m startup:
– do yc
– relocate to sf
– close a $5m round
–hire 5 engineers
– build for 12 months
– launch in techcrunch/media
new way playbook:
– find a real problem ai can solve
– ship it yourself with ai tools
– post to x, insta, reddit, tiktok, do ugc
– growth = 'just email ppl who can buy' + warm outbound
– ship a bunch, double down on winners
In 2008 I showed up to Y Combinator Startup School to take photos of speakers and learn how to start a startup.
I was an engineer and designer and had never started a company before.
advice for college students that aren't sure how to spend the summer, want to get into ML research, and are disillusioned by lame big tech swe internships:
spend the summer reading and implementing the best paper awards from neurips, icml, and iclr 2025.
it'll be challenging at first, and you'll have to read a lot of prior work to catch up, but it's doable over a summer (esp with coding agents) and you'll enter the school year considerably smarter

Built Echomind — open-source AI that predicts my opinions, posts for me, hunts brand deals while I sleep.
My AI clone is already closing deals.
Future = sovereign digital twins.
