Introducing AI copilot for Startup Fundraising
(sound ON)

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@jackkuveke You probably don't have a wife, whereas this VC, as funny as you make him sound, likely does along with several children. So who won?

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@auren Fake unless you can show proof. Which website? It is pushing code to production without your knowledge?

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@GeorgeJeffersn Because you're lying. It is essentially for 15%. And yes, it is a bad deal for true venture start-ups because by the time you're supposed to be receiving the rest of $500k, you should be ready to raise pre-seed of $1.5m for 10-15%

LinkedIn dta /ToS violations:
Six confirmed mechanisms mapped to User-Agreement clauses, the headline ones: automated access to an undocumented internal API, actively impersonating the first-party web client (spoofed Sec-Fetch/Referer + x-li-track device fingerprint to evade bot detection = circumventing an access control), bulk-crawling + locally storing members’ messages/profiles, and exporting a third party’s messages and names to Google Gemini without consent (also a GDPR/lawful-basis problem). Real account-ban risk; the README itself concedes the UA violation.

@DrBrownEmmett Submit their info pls on https://t.co/DiHpKMuIPS

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@themitak Please elaborate. Are you going to do X type of posting on LinkedIn now?

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@VoteforPedro @EcZachly @dessaigne @ycombinator Promoted your story to rocketplace stories

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@EcZachly @dessaigne @ycombinator How about working with us? We are offering an equity free alternative based on donations. Next cohort will likely be in the UK.

Also, we just tagged your post. You founder journey is now on our stories page (https://t.co/tiQoZIhoYp). Thanks for sharing

What is that joke they make about economists?

The 2026 ranking of the top 100 US VC firms is live.

For years, every founder and LP has worked off the same mental shortlist of firms that "matter" — and never had a transparent, data-driven way to check it. Blake Jackson and I built one: the Strebulaev-Jackson Venture Ranking.

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@IlyaStrebulaev Why should we trust your ranking and not ours?

You have pitchbook data.

We have actual founder reviews.

We are not the same.

AI Founders in 2027 talking about how they spent the $50mil raised from @pmarca

..You know what I am saying...

..you gonna be broke..

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@kmr_dilip We are trying to change that https://t.co/tiQoZIhoYp

@dom_gag_96 love this. Europe-centric builder houses for a weekend / week is a great concept. Happy to colab., if you're interested.

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

Fun fact:
@elonmusk gave SpaceX less than 10% chance of working out,

Meanwhile, your average YC Founder will scream through the megaphone that his/her company is destined to become a unicorn

🤷‍♂️🙄

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

Elon is a finance genius.

Signs the Cursor team on a 2x.

Pays out the VCs, but keeps the founding team on golden handcuffs.

Buys them at the likely peak of SpaceX valuation for the foreseeable future.

Each founder on paper today is worth roughly $3B, but after stock drop off, might end up <$1B (or even under $100M).

Elon won't care either way whether the stock goes up or down, but these founders will. And they won't have options to do much about it.

curious what you think @credistick

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@carrynointerest Sounds like an amazing business decision. That said, why not just block them as a merchant with your credit card?

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

@CauraAI We work with https://t.co/DumeoVzkZz at my job. Great team

[RocketPlace @Rocketplace]

Glad you've asked. We actually run these adhoc.

No equity requirements.

The format is much shorter: 4 consecutive days 3 nights), fully immersed together at the same hotel.

Each participant covers their own lodging and travel.

The key is that the program is much much shorter, allowing parents to go back to their kids.

No money changes hands (we are a non-profit), but we might start collecting donations in the future (dunno).

No part of the code or project documentation references Vercel, yet the influence is so great that AI thought this was a Vercel app 🤷

Claude:
"This app runs self-hosted standalone (output: 'standalone' + Dockerfile) behind your custom apps/proxy, not on Vercel. export const maxDuration is a Vercel-only directive — Next.js ignores it in a standalone next start server"

@The_AI_Investor @elonmusk us next, please, pretty please 🙏
