Speed is an underrated strategy in pre-seed. A day late and the round is often closed. Engineering a flexible, agile calendar is crucial to win, IMHO.

We've just hyper-personalized every @getoutersignal user's dashboard. Because the way a CEO uses OuterSignal is very different from the way a lifecycle marketer or partnerships lead uses it.

Your dashboard should reflect that. Now, it does.

Pumped to roll out a completely redesigned OuterSignal dashboard today, giving users a much more personalized view of their customer intelligence.

A few highlights:

→ A comprehensive overview of your customer base, including newly identified VIPs and influencers

→ Daily briefs highlighting interesting customers and recommended actions

→ Customer persona breakdowns you can explore in greater detail

→ And, most importantly, a personalized interface curating the data that’s most important to your specific job

We've shipped an enormous amount of new functionality over the last several months.

This redesign brings it all together, making it easier than ever to go from customer intelligence to action.

Very proud of what our team keeps building, and extremely excited to watch our customers put this in action.

Whoosh Health will be launching our new storefront infrastructure this week! Spent all day @Google HQ today setting up direct ad support for all of our partner storefronts!

This team is FIRED up for the changing landscape. Unmatched access, support and growth tactics.

If you run a SMB, are an RUO vendor looking to "go legit," or a practitioner looking for longevity infrastructure — give me a shout!

DMs are open!

I have been actively using HQ for around 3 weeks. I am starting to feel like I am becoming "unreasonably effective" as per @jacob_posel.

Like many of you, I am already very productive compare to the people around me but this is taking it to the next level.

It blows my mind how good LLM can be when you have the right context and we are just barely scratching the surface.

I am hardcore forcing all leadership to become AI native. The best way to do it is to just simply show them the quality/speed of work you have done yourself.

The tip of "do all work inside Claude Code/Codex no matter what" was a breakthrough mindset shift for me.

The biggest challenge now is to get the entire company integrated and making sure the human within each loop is able to adapt.

If you're at $3M ARR and can't get a Series A meeting, you didn't fail.

The bar moved.

A few years ago, those numbers raised an A. Today they often don't get a first call. Real customers, real revenue, still growing, and stuck.

I see this every week. Here's what I tell those founders:

Decide now, not at 4 months of runway. Waiting for a better market isn't a plan.

Get to default alive. Cut burn until revenue covers costs, even if growth slows.

Stop hiring ahead of revenue. Every new hire should pay for themselves within a year.

Keep your best customers obsessed. Profitable growth comes from expansion, not new logos.

Talk to your investors early. We'd much rather help you cut than get a surprise shutdown email.

A profitable company with $3M ARR has options: grow on its own terms, raise later from strength, or sell. A company that runs out of cash has none.

Founders in this spot: what's the hardest cut you've had to make?
