Wanna know who the real super heroes are?
All the crazy founders who worked the full day on their 9 to 5 & are now grinding some extra hours for their dreams!🔥
You are rockstars!🤟
I'm 30. I built an AI startup called GojiberryAI to $3.5M ARR. Got accepted into YC.
If I had to start from 0, here's exactly what I'd do:
1. Sell it before I build it.
No code. Just a simple slide deck (mine was 6 ugly slides) explaining the problem, the solution, the outcome, and the price. I made my first $10k that way, before writing a single line.
2. Pick a painfully specific customer.
Not "B2B SaaS." Something like "founders at 20-person SaaS companies about to hire their first SDR." So specific that the right person reads it and thinks "that's me."
3. Start outbound on day one, but only to people showing intent.
Not scraped lists. People engaging with competitors, changing roles, raising money, or publicly posting about the exact problem I solve. That's the gap between a 1-2% reply rate and 25-40%.
4. Lead with value, never a calendar link.
Send a blueprint, not "got 15 minutes?" Let the resource do the selling, and the trial becomes the obvious next step instead of a pitch.
5. Pick ONE channel and go deep.
For us it was outbound first, then Reddit (10M+ organic views), then LinkedIn lead magnets. I wouldn't touch a second channel until the first one was clearly working.
6. Talk to customers every single day.
The product doesn't matter until you understand the problem better than they do. Spend 90% of every early call listening, not demoing.
7. Only build once people are actually paying.
Then keep it dead simple and price it to sell itself. We landed on $99/mo with a free trial, so the funnel runs without me dragging anyone onto a call.
8. Do this relentlessly for about 12 months.
That’s roughly how long $0 to $2.5M took us.
Bootstrapped.
No outside funding.
Most founders don’t lose because they can’t build.
They lose because they build too early, sell too late, and quit the channel before it compounds.
One-shotted with Sonnet 5 🔥
I must admit the model is quite good at front-end design
used a couple of intention-driven keywords (modern, aspirational, sleek, etc) in the prompt, nothing too descriptive
prompts: 1
tokens used: 144k
imagery: Midjourney
claude fable 5 just made it possible to post 100 AI UGC videos per day across 4 platforms in JUST 30 minutes of production
everything else runs 100% autonomously
clippers might be cooked 😭
this mythos model watches raw video footage and finds viral moments transcripts would miss
it scrolls tiktok while you sleep and builds trend reports, generating 100 production packages and renders them through higgsfield MCP without you touching another tab.
so i documented the ENTIRE machine with every prompt, every setup instruction, and every workflow step
here's what's inside:
→ the overnight market research system that runs while you sleep
(cowork scrolls 5 platforms, analyzes 60-80 pieces of content each, returns a trend intelligence report with 10 specific content ideas by the time you wake up)
→ raw-pixel clip identification that finds moments human clippers miss
(facial expression shifts, product reveals, body language peaks, visual incongruities. all timestamped and ranked by predicted virality.)
→ batch script and asset generation: 20 complete production packages per prompt, run 5x for 100 total
(6-shot scripts, character prompts, product frame prompts, voice direction, platform captions. 15-25 minutes total.)
→ the higgsfield MCP pipeline that renders all 100 videos automatically
(fable 5 calls seedance 2.0 directly. character reference locked. lip sync aligned. zero human involvement.)
→ the virality predictor that filters your top 20 candidates before posting
(hook score, hold rate, brain region activation. bottom 5 get diagnosed and revised automatically.)
→ the CPM math: 400 platform-posts/day × 3,000 avg views = 36M views/mo = $180k/mo at $5 CPM
→ all 6 copy-paste prompts that run the entire machine
all from my personal experience in looking behind the scenes on how Rizz App + Looksmax AI + Memix scaled past 7-figures with this method
like + comment "100" and i'll send you the ENTIRE system
(must be following + RT for priority access)
will stop sending these out in 24h...
i hooked my whoop to my work calendar to find which coworker gives me the most stress 🚨
thanks to fable, I reverse engineered whoop to pull per minute heart rate. nd matched spikes with cal events and attendees
I now have a leaderboard and I think about it daily.
few info masked for obvious reasons ;)
everyone's sleeping on how absurdly good 2026 is to start a company (even compared to 2024)
one person can now:
- ship full apps without engineers (cursor, replit)
- design without being a designer (v0, Claude Design)
- turn one video into 10 clips (opus, descript)
- push those clips to millions (X, Linkedin, TikTok)
- replace a support team (chatbase, intercom)
- literally watch exactly what their users do (Posthog)
- find + target perfect leads on autopilot (origami)
This is such a rare window. I just can’t imagine it being this easy ever again
GBrain as your company brain
If I were setting one up for a company, this is what I would ingest / configure first:
1. Source-of-truth docs
"Positioning, product docs, pricing, ICP, offer docs, brand rules, FAQs, internal strategy docs."
these are fundamental and would be referenced in a lot of the different workflows & agents you build
2. Workflows and SOPs
"SEO workflow, content workflow, sales handoff, onboarding, reporting, QA, approvals, publishing checklists."
super powerful when then creating your end-to-end closed agent specialists, they can read & reference already made SOPs & workflows you have in the business
3. Examples of what good looks like (taste)
"Best campaigns, articles, landing pages, emails, research briefs, sales calls, client reports."
and add personal notes on why its good as well (key thing a lot of people miss)
4. Decision logs
what changed, why it changed, who decided, what alternatives were rejected, what tradeoff was made, what should not be reopened.
This stops the agent from relitigating decisions the company already made. very useful when brainstorming & analying new businesses ideas & development
5. Ownership map
workflow owner, decision owner, approval owner, subject-matter expert, escalation path.
I mean, this is something every company should have for ops to work better, same goes for agents, if they carry this information they can point towards the correct peer in any situation. btw in an ideal agent company you would assign ownership of each vertical (ex department).
6. Customer and market context
"Sales calls, support tickets, customer interviews, reviews, churn reasons, objections, competitor notes, market research, win/loss notes."
imagine having a direct feedback loop for sales managers after they end a call, that´s possible now. agents can connect dots and analyze every call your sales depertment does very efficient.
7. Permissions and boundaries
what the agent can read, what it can write, what it can publish, what it can send, what requires approval, what it should never touch.
might be boring, but as you store sensitve information its super important to configure what each team member can read, write etc.
8. Feedback loops
shipped work, performance data, human edits, failed outputs, QA notes, client feedback, what changed after review.
I got married this past weekend so I did what any rational @AnthropicAI employee would do and had Claude Code analyze 12 years of iMessages with my wife, then Claude Design used that data to whip up a website for our guests in just minutes.
THIS GUY TURNED A DESK LAMP INTO A LIVE CLAUDE CODE STATUS INDICATOR
the lamp changes color based on what claude code is doing in real time
when claude is thinking it's one color. when it's writing code it shifts. when it's done it changes again. when it errors out you know instantly without even looking at your screen
the lamp is a moonside halo and i'm already tryna to buy one
I might even buy multiple for the multiple claude sessions running in the background and turn my room into a disco
if the color reflected the operational status of claude it would just be red 24/7
it could also track your usage limit. green at the start of the session, slowly fading to red as your tokens drain
people are already hooking this up to their philips hue and govee setups at home
Google’s level of disrespect is OFF THE CHARTS right now.
Anthropic really thought they had us locked down with Claude Design’s ridiculous rate limits…
…and now Google has literally countered it straight away by open-sourcing DESIGN.md 🤯
Boris Cherny created Claude Code. he thinks IDEs are dead by end of year.
This is a 28-minute masterclass on how Anthropic uses it internally.
I wrote 5 pipelines you can sell with it. none of them are coding.
Today is a big day! We're launching a ~ new ~ version of Claude Code in the desktop app. It's been redesigned from the ground up for parallel work and is a lot faster.
It's been my main way to use Claude Code for the last few weeks.
