I have been trying to get VCs to do a board game or game show video series for six months and of course @micsolana pulls it off perfectly.
Now plz do Blood On The Clocktower next so we can find out the real nerds.
I can’t believe we have a Knicks vs Spurs finals and no @SheaSerrano / @netw3rk podcast to cover it.
Please guys, a special emergency pod series. We need this.
This video was so fun to shoot and features my fur baby @umaloodle front and center.
@loyalfordogs is going to help dogs live longer and is discovering so much about real longevity.
This startup wants dogs to live longer.
If that’s not enough to get you to watch, we’re not sure what will. But if you need more convincing, @celinehalioua built @loyalfordogs after years of doubt and is now running the first ever FDA-concurred lifespan extension clinical trial.
Featuring 1,300 really good boys and girls. And yes, everyone will get a pup cup after.
Full Outlier Briefing with @kevinzhang out now.
I remember meeting you and the team about a decade ago, it was right when a sample shipment or something had come in and people descended from all over the office to grab stuff.
The energy was palpable then, seemed like a really fun crew.
Loved the factory transparency and hope that legacy lives on.
@lessin@eoghan@kortina fin literally helped me find my dog as a puppy in 2016. she's named sam after you ...
... J/K she's named Uma and she's a sweetheart.

Most fundraising or announcement videos are shockingly boring.
They're treated as a "check the box" marketing asset instead of the huge opportunity they are for companies to tell their story.
One of the best examples I've seen in the last few months was @gumloop's Series B. It's a video that oozes craft, intentionality, and discipline.
It serves as a huge recruiting signal because it shows off the immaculate vibes at a fast-growing company.
This week on @brandzillapod we break down this video and why it's so successful, as well as other fundraising videos that... leave a bit to be desired.
I ran comms for Google during Oracle v. Google in 2012, tech's last big trial of the century. Watching Musk v. Altman has me flashing back hard.
Fifteen observations on the trial comms war so far, in no particular order:
Yo. Have done a lot of events! Can capture keynotes and also do the interview stuff you’ve been doing with other Lobster enthusiasts and other fun stuff.

Dave has my number but will also DM you!
Learned a lot from filming @handotdev and researching Mintlify.
If context is everything, Mintlify is the gateway to the future.
TL,DW: It so much more than just docs folks...
After 7 failed ideas, Han hit “pivot hell”—a week of no sleep, staring at the ceiling, trying to make something work. Then Mintlify clicked.
Today it powers docs for 20K+ companies, reaching 150M+ people and, increasingly, AI agents.
~15% of doc traffic was AI a year ago. Now it’s ~50%. Soon, maybe 90%.
Docs aren’t pages anymore. They’re context. The companies that win will be the ones that manage it best.

Before @usePylon had customers, it had an air mattress.
@marty_kausas had left Airbnb, heard the market was “crowded,” and was told to get a normal job.
The problem wouldn’t let go.
B2B support isn’t ticketing — it’s sales, success, and finance working in the same thread. Legacy tools weren’t built for that.
Today: 1,500+ customers. $51M raised.
Still happy. Still grinding.
