Bossman @willemaw I love @Square and I've been using it for years,But i am simply trying to redirect customers when they fill a form collecting data to my items shop immediately they submit said form on the same website and that's become a nightmare! Can someone help me pls
yesterday he got the call from YC
- interviewed but not accepted to F25
- quit his job and moved to SF anyway
- builds and talks to customers
I wrote him a small check, help him believe more fully in himself, his strengths, and vouched for him to YC
I can’t make someone good enough for YC but I can see when they are.
if the only thing holding you back is believing in yourself I got you.
Unless they kill him,He’ll always have his mind to think new stuff. Plus do you know how many countries will be happy to create new laws just to grant him citizenship and give him room to even have more children?? If German scientists could come here and start nasa,He can too
@Suhail Why do you feel moonlighting is wrong?
If he aced the interviews and was the best so you hired him - what’s wrong? As long as he meets all deliverables on time with the right attitude
I don’t think a human can give another human grace. Maybe forgiving,understanding,empathetic or even enduring is the word you’re looking for. When we say “The Grace of God” it really that & Humans can’t give it.
hey all, couple quick notes:
1) yes, we will be joining Meta.
2) no, we did not get 100M sign-on, that's fake news.
Excited about what's ahead though, will share more in due time!

Reflecting on Product Hunt's seed round...
I'm grateful to all of the investors that supported us, but shout out to SV —especially @abram and @brianp—for being our first check.
Founders, who wrote you your first check?
Sequoia Capital, Marc Andreessen and top institutions back New $30m Browder Capital Fund Four:
Today, I’m excited to announce that I’ve raised Browder Capital Fund Four, a $30,000,000 fund backed by Sequoia Capital, Marc Andreessen, Chris Dixon, Arthur Patterson (founder of Accel), Walter Kortschak (founder of SignalFire) and some of the world’s top institutional investors, including Cendana Capital, General Endowment Management, Level Ventures, Hummingbird Ventures (Nomads), and Slipstream.
I’m an accidental investor.
In 2018, I stopped out of Stanford to take the Thiel Fellowship. One in ten Fellows goes on to build a billion dollar company.
That’s how I met Adam Guild.
I didn’t have a fund. I didn’t have any real savings. But my Thiel Fellowship payment had just hit my bank account. So I decided to invest it into Adam’s company as his first investor.
Yesterday, that company, Owner, announced their Series C at a $1 billion valuation.
Since then, I’ve been lucky to back many of the best young founders across previous funds (Whop, Wander, Assured, Pilgrim, Yuzu Health, Micro1, among many others), including other unannounced pre-seeds to unicorns. Indeed, Browder Capital is an investor in more Thiel Fellows than any other person or fund, including 50% from last year’s class (2023).
While many funds back dozens of startups at once, often chasing hype, I prefer to go all in on one overlooked technical founder at a time. I’ve hosted 19 year old strangers at my apartment, put their visas on my personal credit card, co-signed their first leases. Whatever it takes to get them to start their company.
Fund Four will double down on that mission: becoming the first believer to rare individuals who build billion dollar companies from scratch.
Subtle reminder: Your subconscious mind dictates 90% of your success.
This is my 1-year ideal scene that I repeat to my subconscious mind before I go to bed every night…
By day and by night, I am being prospered in all of my interests. Money flows to me in avalanches of abundance.
Money flows to me freely, copiously, and endlessly. I am one with the infinite riches of my subconscious mind.
I live on a massive, majestic, gorgeous piece of land in a picturesque community that makes me feel lucky - every morning, I feel overwhelmingly grateful. My home is spacious and gorgeous, and it feels incredibly peaceful and inspiring.
I have a studio to make anything I dream of. I'm friends with my neighbors, have best friends in the community, and have a loving family. I meditate daily and live in the present moment. I am enough and have enough.
I am deeply in love with the woman of my dreams. She is drop-dead gorgeous - the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. She lights up my day and is my reason for being. I'm head over heels and fall deeper and deeper in love with her every day. We grow deeper in love every day and have a safe, secure, deep connection.
I have $20M in the bank - it makes me feel safe, secure, and unstoppable. I'm invested in a portfolio that allows me to sleep at night. My sales are getting better every day. I have an abundance of everything around me.
I play, snowboard, hike, do adventure sports with friends, feel alive, and feel grounded. I am calm and have inner peace. I am surrounded by the most awe-inspiring nature ever - I look out to the mountains, I have a home with massive 30-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking an insane view of the forests, mountains, and nature.
I feel safe, comfortable, and have a home full of love. I go on adventures every 4 weeks to deepen my connection with myself, my girlfriend, God, and nature.
I am creative - I make art daily. I help founders unlock their full potential. I make inspiring, mind-blowing content that inspires 1B people every month. I am a master of cinematography, writing, storytelling, taste, design, sales, marketing, product, content, and a full-stack founder. I know how to scale companies to $1B.
I give back to charities I believe in. And my life feels like I've accomplished my dreams and I am living my dream daily. My community is all loving. My girlfriend and I go to church every Sunday and we feel a sense of belonging with the community - we give back and they give us so much. I play sports often and am the healthiest I have ever been - padel, yoga, snowboard, run, hike, and backcountry ski.
I let go. I surrender.
I open my heart. I feel love in my heart and express my love for others.
Nah the CEO should do his version of the viral video in the office with staff participation while’s watching the creators video on a screen as an indirect endorsement! That’s how you make it go 10x viral. This will show ppl he’s human..
Sometimes a long advice isn’t enough! Just ask for his PayPal and send him some money in addition to the wisdom. Y’all too stingy with money out here lol
