๐จ BREAKING: Iโm partnering with @deel to fund up to 10 founders with $1,000,000+ ๐ค
Deel just launched The Pitch, a global startup tournament, for the best founder in the world, presented by J.P. MORGAN. The prizes:
โข 10 startups will each receive a $1M SAFE
โข 100 regional winners will each receive $50K SAFEs
โข $15M+ total capital deployed
And weโre officially partnering with them to push this to the Market Fit audience ๐ฅ
This isnโt a gimmick. Itโs a real funding vehicle.
Hereโs how it works:
1๏ธโฃ Submit a 5-minute application
2๏ธโฃ Top startups get invited to regional in-person finals
3๏ธโฃ Regional winners get funded
4๏ธโฃ Global finalists compete for $1M
Just product, team, and ambition.
I know how cracked my founder audience is. If youโre building something serious, this is an asymmetric upside.
Donโt worry, weโll be spotlighting strong applications from our side ๐
Iโll personally be backing and pushing the strongest applications.
Apply. Swing big. Letโs fund one of you!

ANTHROPICโS CLAUDE UPDATE JUST HELPED A STUDENT TURN $1,400 INTO $238,000 IN 11 DAYS.
He used it to build a simple Polymarket bot that scanned for mispriced markets, entered when the gap was big enough, and let the repricing do the work.
How to set up the Claude completely in just 1 day:
(Save this. Send it to your team. Thank me later.)
Tool 1: Cowork
Download Claude (claude .com/download).
Open the Cowork tab.
Select a folder from your computer.
Now build your brain file. Create "about-me .md."
To download mine, go here: https://t.co/psB7XxAv8w.
Don't pay anything. It's free in the welcome email.
Then, start every chat with this prompt:
"Read the files first. Then ask me questions before doing anything."
Tool 2: Model
Pick Opus 4.6 (it's the best model right now).
Turn on Extended Thinking.
Most skip this & wonder why Claude feels generic.
Then go to Settings > Connectors.
Link Slack, Google Drive, Notion.
Claude now reads your actual workspace.
Tool 3: Excel
Open Excel. Go to Insert > Get Add-ins.
Search "Claude by Anthropic." Install.
Open any spreadsheet. Ask: "Give me a summary of each tab." Claude lives inside the spreadsheet. It knows what D14 actually contains.
Tool 4: Plugins
Go to claude .com/plugins.
Pick the one as per your job.
Marketing. Sales. Legal. Finance. Data.
Click install. Type / in your next chat.
Legal software companies lost $285B in market cap when these dropped. That's a signal.
Tool 5: Artifacts
Nothing to install. Ask Claude to build something.
"Create an interactive HTML calculator for [thing]."
You get a working tool inside the chat. Not text. Not a suggestion. A thing you click and use.
Tool 6: Projects
Go to claude .ai. Click Projects. Create one. Upload your files and add instructions. Every chat inside the project remembers your context.
Honest take: Cowork replaced this for me.
But for teams, it still works.
Where Claude falls short:
No image generation. Use Gemini.
Not the best at real-time search. Use Grok.
Not the best at everything. No tool is.
But for writing, thinking, analyzing, and working with your files? It's the best.
The real difference:
Most people open Claude, type one prompt, get a mid response, and leave.
Because they set up one tool out of six.
Set up all six. It takes 1 day.
Then you'll understand why everyone switched.
