Gusto just announced Gusto Cofounder, and this is something I'm really excited about. Not just because it's all I've been doing for the last two months, but because I think it's an example of what I've always thought to be the ideal user experience for our customers – almost no user interface, we just do it for you – run payroll via SMS, get weekly reports, set up automatic expense approvals, or anything else on your mind. It's an AI assistant for 500k small businesses, available in their preferred messaging app. Here are a few real conversations I've had with it 👇
Our mission at @GustoHQ is to grow the small business economy with technology and heart. We are deeply grateful to all the work small businesses do every day in communities everywhere, and we are committed to being their partner, taking hats off their head, delivering them peace of mind, and giving them superpowers, so they can progress their business.
@agarfinks from @FortuneMagazine has been following Gusto for a long time, and we recently shared with her some milestones in our journey of building Gusto (including passing $1b of revenue). These are still the early days of what’s possible. We are building Gusto for the long term, and when small businesses succeed, we succeed.
🔩@RiveterHQ (YC F24) is a copilot for corporate strategy. They help growth-stage companies like Gusto accelerate strategic decision-making with deep market research insights. No $1M+ McKinsey contract needed.

Curious about how AI is being used to accelerate drug discovery at top companies like Genentech, Bausch + Lomb, and Eli Lilly?
Join us for an exciting virtual panel where Ben Haley, @MayssaAttar, and DeAnna Zacherl share their experiences on leaning into AI at their orgs + get tips on using AI to nail presentations.
Startup leaders (yes, even us hired gun “operators”) should all bring big founder energy into our teams.
What does that look like?
Eyes everywhere. Care about the details. Take quality personally. Sky high talent bar.
Equity = ownership.
Act like it.

I humbly believe these will end up as career defining positions for the folks who take them. Please share / apply / DM.

@amythibodeau They tend to be pretty watery vegetables so this pre steps I find helps to improve texture and flavor.
Also works with eggplant slices pre grill. For eggplant I find a wet brine works better sometimes - 1/4 cup kosher salt dissolved in a quart of water. Submerge the eggplant
@amythibodeau@amythibodeau like a zucchini indeed! My preference, even with zucchini is to salt it (kosher salt) in the shape you want to grill it on both side and let it sit for 20-30 minutes and then wipe with a kitchen towel/paper towel and pan fry or grill (coat with olive oil).
