You can literally come back from anything. It’s all about your mindset.

[Happioh @JHappioh]

We are turning every meeting and call into real-time coaching for humans and AI bots (because 4-in-5 companies still let their bots roam wild).

Happy MothersDay to all the badass moms!
I traveled like crazy through both pregnancies—no mat leave, just mission mode.
Now I’ve got the most curious, flexible kids, and in 2025 I was nominated for Global Tech Entrepreneur + 100 Women of African Descent.
You can do both. ❤️

Pre-seed investments are very simple for me:

1. Is the founder truly world class?

2. Are they operating in a market that is directionally correct? TBD so many things but right zone of play?

3. Is the deal zone palatable. $10M on $100M we do not do. Is there a deal to be done?

Happy to speak at the Phoenix Global Forum on how AI startups can do real good in the world. Amazing things happen when public leaders, private companies, and investors share one room, and one mission. The future gets smarter and more human! #IEFA @JHappioh

For all pre-seed investors who love to spend a ton of time on TAM, pricing and all this BS at present-seed.

Now $3BN Hugging Face started life as a tamagotchi company.

People baby. That’s all we have at present-seed.

LFG!!!!

Exciting news, @FinancialTimes featured Happioh! 

At Happioh, we believe AI should enhance, not replace, human interaction. Our 70/30 rule ensures AI automates 70% of tasks, but 30% require human touch to make pre -and post meeting documentation impactful.

Meaning may be healthier than happiness.

23-year study: A sense of purpose is a more robust predictor of longevity than life satisfaction. Having worthwhile goals is a source of vitality.

It’s nice to feel happy today. It’s important to have something to strive for tomorrow.

[sarah guo @saranormous]

sometimes people are uncomfortable hiring friends. they don’t want to risk relationships, they’re nervous about screening, feedback, perf, firing, impartiality. all secondary issues

if you want to win, hire your friends
if you don’t (and win), they will ask why you didn’t

BREAKING DeepSeek just let the world know they make $200M/yr at 500%+ profit margin.

Revenue (/day): $562k
Cost (/day): $87k
Revenue (/yr): ~$205M

This is all while charging $2.19/M tokens on R1, ~25x less than OpenAI o1.

If this was in the US, this would be a >$10B company.

Less than 17% of podcasts hit 50 episodes.

I’ve done 260+, every Saturday for 5 years. That puts me in the top 1% of podcasters worldwide. Rain or shine, week after week. Consistency wins 🏆

“You either have to live with the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”

Discipline is temporary pain for long-term gain. Regret lingers forever. Choose wisely 🙏🏻

27% of entrepreneurs have ADHD traits—three times the rate in the general population 😵

With all this Greenland talk, maybe it’s time for me to go back! 🇬🇱

I was honored to visit schools, foster homes, and speak with executives, sharing my story of growing up in Danish foster care. We cried together in silence, a deeply moving experience.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

I just published a new essay, and since the algorithm prefers links in replies, I dutifully put it in a thread about why I wrote it. But a lot of people didn't notice the link, so screw that:

Build your company for users. Not VCs.

Standing at @Nasdaq as a female founder and GP feels surreal, like breaking through glass ceilings and defying the odds. Stats say we shouldn’t be here, but here we are, rewriting the narrative one milestone at a time. 💪📈 @JHappioh
