Are there any startup founders or people in tech that are insanely cracked at Hearthstone, League of Legends, or any card game in particular?

If so, would love to hop on a call with you. Working on something and need thoughts from people who understand game mechanics.

Y Combinator startups are now coming out of stealth and launching phones that are built for the AI era.

It'll be insanely tough to get people off the iPhone but it's dope to see founders taking big hardware swings!

We switched 10 people from iPhone to Blue. Weeks later, none of them want their iPhone back.

Introducing Blue: a phone you just talk to. Tell it what you need, and it gets done.

It has all the context, can use every single app, and even triages your notifications.

We built it for people who always have a little too much to do. The ones buried in messages, notifications, and to-dos.

If that's you, get yours today.

Backed by Y Combinator + 70 other VCs & angels.

@OmarAbcXyz123 We got startups launching their very own AI enabled phones before GTA VI. Looking forward to trying out blue in Q3 2027!

YC Startup @bron_app amassed 10 million views in 24 hours for getting cease and desisted by Lebron James and Luka Doncic.

Here's why I think this was their master marketing plan...

[Adi Singh @adisingh]

During my first weeks in SF, I let Perplexity's CEO walk right past me while I sat on a park bench. A week later, I did the same with Naval Ravikant at a Blue Bottle.

After that, I started going up to anyone I recognized. That's how I've met founders from Ramp and Lovable.

Worst case, it's a random guy you were sure was Seth Rogen lol.

LeBron James' reps sent a cease-and-desist letter to the 'Bron AI' sports betting app.

James is aiming to get the sports betting app to stop using his likeness without authorization, a spokesperson for LeBron told Front Office Sports. https://t.co/j4W7BecMZB

Yea I heard they are all single until Series A!

[atlas @creatine_cycle]

Best founders I backed had no hobbies, no goals, no girlfriend, no friends, no prospects, no will to live. Only one obsession — X dot com.

Bro you might need to actually raise some venture capital.

[Cormac @cormachayden_]

to be honest

everyday the past couple months I've thought about quitting and shutting down oasis.

i’ve never believed more in oasis: my consumer health startup powered by transparent product testing, but...

our revenue is down 85% since april this year and our legal bills keep growing

a billion-dollar cpg company is suing us for $255 million over a social post where we incorrectly stated the amount of heavy metals in their electrolytes. we corrected it within 24 hours and offered to boost the correction to reach the same audience. their legal team said they weren’t interested.

our defense costs tens of thousands a month to present our case and could reach 6 or 7 figures if the case continues without a settlement

the odds are stacked against us. without outside help, i’m honestly unsure how we get through this

yet I cant get myself to stop. and neither can our team, who have chosen to keep working without pay.

oasis has never been better, faster, and backed by more verified lab data with our social content now being exclusively positive.

we’ve also launched consumer and brand testing so shoppers can test their own products and brands can improve their quality and oasis scores.

revenue isn’t down because customers don’t love the product. in fact, our conversion rates are among the highest of any consumer health platform. it's because we put our remaining resources into engineering, science, and independent lab testing.

we also take time to share accurate, valuable information that benefits our community long term, rather than chase downloads with inaccurate slop.

earlier this year, with a growth team, we did well. now I handle all growth and content myself to cut costs.

i and so many of our customers and team, believe the world is better with oasis in it.

we haven’t operated perfectly this year. no company pursuing a big mission does, but we’ve listened to all feedback and improved accordingly.

i’m not sharing this to ask for pity, but rather for 2 reasons:

1. to show what founding a company can feel like behind the scenes: difficult, uncertain and sometimes terrifying

2. to possibly reach the right people who can help us survive and help us carry on the mission of empowering consumers and raising the health standard for everyone.

@JoshConstine Yea wishful thinking

@GameTapeGods @cormachayden_ They did it for Kalshi, worked out well
