After meeting with 500 exited founders. I can tell you this:

Being an entrepreneur can be lonely. You don’t always connect with people the same way—you’re absorbed in your product, your ideas. Sometimes it feels like only other founders truly understand you on that level. And when you do connect with fellow founders, the exchange is different—sharing ideas, challenges, and insights accelerates your learning in a way nothing else does.

AI is changing how we start our careers.

If you’re a student, follow what genuinely interests you. Go deep. Use AI to test ideas, build faster and find patterns others miss.

The future may belong to people who learn to make, not just apply.

Maybe the real Silicon Valley advantage is simpler than people think.

Share what you know. Open a door. Be happy when someone else wins.

That’s how trust grows.
And, over time, it comes back around.

Entrepreneurship doesn’t end at 6 p.m.

It follows you through the late nights, the uncertainty, the risks and the ideas you can’t let go of.

You’re not just building a business.
You’re building something you believe in.

Keep going.

POV: you work at an AI-first company, but you don't know that much about AI.

X is a bubble. We all have a second brain here, but most people don't 👀

We met with @Jovanthienen 10 days ago and immediately knew we had to do something about it...
That something was the Second Brain Workshop we hosted yesterday.

The room was filled with talented people from some of the best companies around the Bay Area.

NERDCONF handled the logistics and dynamics so the workshop felt more like a group of friends showing up to a cool hackathon.

We had Nerdworking games. Demos of things that worked perfectly. And demos of things that couldn't even mount the second brain at all 😂

Jose curated the workshop so well (i mean how couldnt she?). She's a top tier argentinean living in sf and working as the enterprise account exec of Microsoft. She's awesome!
@PipeAbellos , ceo of @agentcardhq was there too, mentoring participants. He's also the best!

The place, you ask? Vibe house, where post-exit founders and investors meet weekly to share about ai, tech and the future of humanity. Thanks @sahin for trusting us and letting us host the workshop there!

Fridays have become a ritual for me:
Got invited once again to @sf_vibehouse Demo Nights

Getting to hang with exited founders and investors has taught me so much about building, raising and crisis, it's Insane

It made me realized that at the end of the day everyone is chasing a YES

Thanks @sahin for having one of the best clubs in the Bay Area and for letting me document what happens on it!

Edible peptides became a billion-dollar opportunity.

There are two reasons to ship: applause or service. Your launch checklist quietly tells you which one you chose.

The only lasting peace a founder finds comes from clean effort.

Four questions: Did you tell the truth? Did you serve the customer? Did you protect your energy? Did you let go of the outcome?

If yes — close the laptop and rest. You've done enough.

#SundayReset #FounderMindset

[Sahin Boydas @sahin]

Being a founder looks like you're building a company. You're actually building a mirror.

You cannot scale what you have not healed. Your company is your inner state, multiplied by every person you hire.

What has your company shown you about yourself?
