Was it always this way? Can’t we do anything to incentivize the best founders and CEOs to want to IPO?
If it’s the markets fault for founders not wanting to deal with fluctuating stock price based on quarterly earnings, then the whole market needs a wake up call.
We have to do something to incentivize the best private companies to go public earlier.
SpaceX and Anthropic waiting till post $1T valuations essentially makes consumers the biggest losers.
Not to mention stripe, databricks, etc
Polsia exists for the 99%.
Not the tech bros with a $5M seed.
The ones with an idea and a laptop.
Agents are the great equalizer. Polsia is the on-ramp.
The moat used to be hiring & expertise.
That moat is gone.
So many people hating on this.
I couldn’t be more bullish.
He’s beautifully found a way to:
- avoid the stale dashboard trap and display work actively being done
- suggest and execute agentic follow on tasks in one click
- seamlessly manage outbound emails & ads
Polsia just raised $30M at a $250M valuation.
Approaching $10M annual run rate.
One Founder + AI. Zero employees.
Polsia runs companies autonomously.
It also ran its own fundraising.
I just showed up for signatures.
I see a bunch of venture backed founders saying this is slop, but think for someone who has an idea, or 5, or 10 and just wants to test any sort of market pull….
It’s now fully managed, then once you see interest, go raise
The industry has picked a new favorite major(s)…
Ditch CS.
Major in Math or Physics.
PE, HFT, AI Labs all chase those two graduates.
You likely won’t be doing laplace transforms at work.
But you’ll prove to all employers you are capable enough to do so.
So excited to share that @Dessn_ai has raised $6m, led @pietrobezza , with participation from @betaworks , N49P, and a few other amazing partners and angels.
@eminimnim and I started the company 2 years ago
with one conviction: the future of product development wouldn’t happen in disconnected mockups or recreated environments. It would happen directly in production.
Today, Dessn is the only product that enables an entire team to design and prototype directly in prod — visually, collaboratively, and in one click.
Twitter’s algorithm is optimized for addiction, not for us. We deserve better.

Big news for NY startups! QSBS is here to stay.
From @politico: the idea now “seems to be moot” following strong, coordinated engagement from across the tech community—including a @TechNYC letter with 1,600+ founders, early employees, and investors.
This is a clear example of what’s possible when the ecosystem shows up together. We’re grateful to everyone who spoke out and helped ensure policymakers understood what was at stake.
New York remains the best place to build. 🗽
my grandfather was the sharpest man I knew
he taught as a professor until he passed
spent his days teaching, reading, writing, and engaging with students
that is the clearest path to a youthful mind and healthy life
never retire, find your passion
‘winning’ is so temporary for these model providers… the only real winners are the users who can arbitrarily switch to the best model in a second
there is *zero* customer loyalty to either company, purely transactional, and almost no lock in
peculiar market for the providers
