We stopped waiting and built something that matters.

Veltha (YC S26) is the co-adjuster for complex claims - fixing a $100B workers' comp market where life-changing decisions are made with almost no infrastructure.
If you work in claims, workers' comp, I want to hear from you.

@snowmaker Very obviously written by AI.
I like the content but the style is off putting for me.

We got great traction from our first industry conference despite making all the mistakes possible - @Edin_Citaku wrote a great blog post about our learnings https://t.co/xb4fqnu3eU.

What really surprised me: you should just sell and don’t pretend like you don’t.

In the age of LLM generated content, I still believe writing is as important of a skill as it always has been.

Unions were a good thing during industrialisation. In a service based economy they don’t make much sense.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The market interprets unions as damage and routes around them.

@garrytan If things go right, half the founders will become farmers and raise their own ducks!

@thenowhereway Not sound like a generic AI bot

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

@lottsnomad Always has been, the fundamentals never changed :)

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

@ColinGardiner What about putting them on an advisory board?

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

@JayKapoorNYC That’s something only an LLM would say

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

@wunderfashy @darrenmarble Build something people want, its that simple 🫡

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

@darrenmarble Yep, the only thing you need is to build something people want.

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

@quxiaoyin That’s why its always better to go your own way, even if its contrarian.
Whats most VCs do is pattern match to whatever pattern is trendy rn.
Be contrarian, the Thielien way is still the best way.

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

@0xArdito @naval The best you can do is find out what is NOT the truth.
Gradually you’ll get closer to truth this way 🙃

The founder in their 40s with taste and discernment is the new gentleman unicorn founder

Because there can be 100x to 1000x of them working at their beck and call via agents and software factories all the time

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

We just set a new rule in our startup:
No LLM use for external comms, including social media and emails

[Ben Glenney @ben_glenney]

I don’t understand why I often see prominent founder / ceos or otherwise well respected people post multi-paragraph tweets that are clearly unedited llm slop. It doesn’t make you sound smart or unique and only impairs a personal brand they’ve spent a long time building

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

@zachdotai Not only linkedin 🫡

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

Finally being a long sleeper pays off 🙏

[Founder League @founderleague]

Sustainable founder behavior. Congrats to yesterday's recovery leaders!

[Edin Citaku (YC S26) @Edin_Citaku]

@gregoryeck Wait until you find out what the word for “God” was in Jesus own native language.
Spoiler: It was “Allaha”
