@vancanadians who won tonight’s sushi race, chop or stix?!

[Daniel Shalinsky (withe.co) @Shalinsky]

@AnnikaSays Think of all the potential synergies!

[Daniel Shalinsky (withe.co) @Shalinsky]

As a founder, it's one thing to try new tools, it's another when the founders of those co's are invested in your success.

Shout out to @stephenhaney and the @paper team for building a great product and helping troubleshoot.

Designing your next site/asset? Go try Paper.

Where are you conceding your intelligence to AI?

What a compelling conversation about the affects of AI on cognition and how humans use it.

@GaryMarcus @arunbahl @MadisonMills22 @FrontierBC

Great start to #websummitvancouver

[Daniel Shalinsky (withe.co) @Shalinsky]

Absolutely loving @stitchbygoogle. What a game changer for design... but PLEASE allow a cmd Z / undo delete feature.

I've gone to delete something I thought I highlighted (e.g. text in a box or highlighted section) and then had to re-gen the whole screen.

Spoiler: the audits were fraudulent

[Daniel Shalinsky (withe.co) @Shalinsky]

@askOkara Looks super cool! Trying to test but it's hitting limits then erroring out.

Hoping to try again soon.

[Daniel Shalinsky (withe.co) @Shalinsky]

87% of the way through the year for those keeping track.

Guess I'm doing better than last year. 🤷‍♂️

𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭: Winter 2026 Residency for Technical Founders at Inception!

This winter, we’re bringing together 10 hardcore AI builders for an exclusive residency in Miami with all the firepower of a top accelerator without the heavy dilution!

This is the most talent-dense, high-velocity, carefully curated launchpad for technical AI founders outside SF to start a venture scale company - AND you get to escape the harsh winter while you ship!

The 3+ month residency - hosted in partnership with The LAB Miami - is hyper selective (10 startups only), highly intense (6+ days / week in office) and fully in person (Miami relocation required / costs offset).

Plus you get mentored by unicorn founders including Digital Ocean ($4B NYSE), Mural ($2B), Papa ($1B), vLex (acquired for $1B), Quicknode ($1B), Spotnana ($1B), and many more.

The best part: There’s no “too early” - apply with nothing more than your drive to build a venture scale company, your idea, and the ability to ship exceptional products at breakneck speed.

Applications just opened - apply at https://t.co/mESQH4gjb9 to start in Jan 2026!

So excited for this. @PascalUnger and the @focal_vc team are unmatched. No fluff, just real, earned insights. Check out their new pod below! 👇

[Pascal Unger @PascalUnger]

"Finally a startup podcast where you actually learn something that matters!"

That's what I set out to do when I started having discussions with founders and operators around potentially doing a podcast.

Why?

Because most startup podcasts are basically a highlight reel that barely scratch the surface across the 20+ topics they cover. They're entertaining - but you don't actually learn anything useful.

Thus, meet the focal podcast where I go deep with some of today's best founders / operators on ONE crucial lesson they learned the hard way early on.

No fluff, just the real, actionable insights you'd get if these founders were mentoring you 1-on-1.

Our debut episode - launched today - tackles a critical mistake most founders make early on:

“Most startups don’t focus on growth nearly early enough.”

This comes from @austinh___ who knows startup growth better than almost anyone else.

As a former early growth lead at @tryramp and now the co-founder and CEO of @unifygtm (>$30M raised from @ThriveCapital , @emergencecap, @OpenAI), Austin has both built a growth organization from scratch as well as helped scale one faster than almost anyone else.

A few weeks ago, I had a fascinating conversation with him that changed how I think about growth at startups, including:

1. Experimentation speed is everything
2. Why you have to start with outbound from day 1
3. To win, move from cold to warm outbound
4. Why to build your growth team as early as possible
5. The ultimate startup moat: Building in public

Starting tomorrow, I'll also share insights from these conversations in writing.

For more, check out our conversation on the newly launched focal podcast and subscribe to my Substack for the write ups (LINK IN COMMENTS).
