Resend is profitable.

It's been the case since last year, but it happened by accident.

When we started, we knew we were going after giants. Companies with thousands of employees, hundreds of millions raised, some already public.

So we took the VC route. Got into YC, raised some money.

Then one day, I looked at the projections and realized we were close.

We didn't try to cut our cloud bill, reduce our DataDog costs, or slow down hiring to get there earlier.

No, we just kept focused on building the product, improving the infrastructure, and making sure customers are happy.

Everyone told us to burn cash and grow faster.

The reality is, you can grow fast, be aggressive, and still be profitable.

People mistake profitability with being anti-VC.

The right investors can be incredibly helpful (that was the case for us at least).

Being profitable means optionality. You can raise more or maybe less. You can raise now, or maybe later. Having that choice is better than not having it.

When you're profitable, every decision is about the product, not the runway.

Released today: /loop

/loop is a powerful new way to schedule recurring tasks, for up to 3 days at a time

eg. “/loop babysit all my PRs. Auto-fix build issues and when comments come in, use a worktree agent to fix them”

eg. “/loop every morning use the Slack MCP to give me a summary of top posts I was tagged in”

Let us know what you think!

I accidentally discovered how to compress a month of research into 3 hours.

A founder at a YC company showed me his Claude setup. I thought he was just fast. Then I watched him build an entire go-to-market strategy for a market he'd never worked in before.

Here's exactly what he did:

First: he didn't ask Claude to "research the market."

He fed it 8 competitor landing pages, 3 earnings call transcripts, 12 customer reviews, and a Reddit thread of complaints.

Then he asked one question:

"What does every successful player in this market understand that their customers never say out loud?"

Not "summarize these." Not "analyze the competition."
The unspoken insight. The thing that takes founders 2 years of customer calls to figure out.

But the next part is what broke my brain.

He followed up with:

"Now show me the 3 assumptions this entire market is built on, and what would have to be true for each one to be wrong."

In 15 minutes he had the attack surface of an entire industry.
The blind spots. The fragile consensus. The opening nobody was talking about.

Most founders spend 6 months doing customer discovery just to find one of those.

Then he did something I've never seen before.

He asked:

"Write 5 questions a world-class investor would ask to destroy this business idea, then answer each one using only the evidence in these documents."

He spent the next 2 hours stress-testing every assumption. Every weak answer triggered a follow-up:

"What's the strongest version of this argument and where does it still break?"

By hour 3, he had a strategy deck that felt like it came from someone who'd spent a decade in the space.

The tool didn't change. The questions did.

Most people treat Claude like a faster Google.

These founders are using it like a thinking partner who has read everything and has no ego about being wrong.

The difference between 3 hours and 3 months isn't the amount of information.

It's knowing which questions actually matter.

Most SEO gurus would keep this a secret.

STEAL your competitor's SEO rankings using just ChatGPT..👇

I have created a FREE Custom ChatGPT that does Content Gap Analysis but on Steroids.

No need to pay for expensive tools like Ahrefs and Semrush.

Here’s How my GPT works:

1. Provide GPT with your competitor's sitemap.
2. Submit your posts list for it to compare against.

It will then give you a list of all the keywords you aren’t targeting...

But your competitor is.

It will also generate the Post titles for you.

ONLY For the next 24 hours, I'm giving away the GPT for free:

1. Follow me (so I can DM)
2. Like AND Retweet
3. Comment "GPT"
