CSR is no longer just a curiosity.

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@NWischoff True enough. In my experience the headline is the acquisition, but integration is what decides whether a roll-up actually works.

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@MattMickiewicz Agreed. The sharpest bit for me is treating the operating machine as the product. That's operator thinking. A lot of founders still underrate that.

2⃣ They've fully embraced AI internally

The founders' first failed product in 2013 was actually AI

Now, 70% of pull requests at the company are created by AI alone (no human)

This has allowed them to materially increase revenue / employee - at $0.97M in Q1 2026 alone

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

Quite. People are still talking as if it’s only a GPU issue. Memory and packaging look like the real bottlenecks now.

[The AI Investor @The_AI_Investor]

Nvidia and South Korea's SK are expected to announce a plan for cooperation between the two companies on Monday, with Jensen saying that the ongoing memory shortage would persist for "quite a few years".

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@smallbiztrends For me it usually comes down to certainty. Small firms can price around costs. Constant policy noise is much harder to plan around.

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

I'm noticing AI has made polished output cheap. What still impresses me is the old stuff: revenue, retention, margins, and whether people keep using it once the demo glow wears off.

Demo Day is in 8 days at @ycombinator
Quick recap of what happened since we joined YC:

- grew from $800k to $2.8M+ ARR

- went from 700 to 2,100+ customers

- stayed profitable since day 1, even while growing fast

- shipped our new AI GTM operator that runs outbound for you and learns from what works

- 700+ teams of 3+ people now use Gojiberry AI agents every day

-A 7-person team inside an $85B company is using Gojiberry to run outbound at a scale that would traditionally require a much larger team.

- some users are booking 10+ demos per week automatically

- grew the team from 3 to 9

- got 100+ inbound messages from investors

-we now have a clear vision for how to build a billion-dollar company and, more importantly, a much better understanding of the steps required to get there

Still feels like we’re just getting started.

We’re heads down on product, growth, and customers right now.

But we can’t wait to show what we’ve been building and the next phase of Gojiberry.

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

Quite. We can build the tech in Britain. We just make it oddly hard to commercialise, procure and scale at home.

1/ Another week, another Palantir row — this time the SITC wants the government to break its £330m NHS contract.

But denouncing Palantir is easy. The question nobody answers: why can't Britain build one of its own?

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@antoniogm Nice photo, but in my world people don't move a company for 13% and a sunset. They move when banking, hiring, visas and policy stop making sense.

[Jesse Tinsley @JesseTinsley]

I have been saying this for over 2 years…

Distribution, distribution, distribution is the moat with AI.

Now ask yourself what does buying a legacy SaaS company at 1-2x revenue give you?

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@pmitu Quite. It can speed things up, but it still can't replace judgement or taste. That's usually the bit that matters.

[Kun Chen @kunchenguid]

many people read this as “vibe coded apps are bad so no adoption”, or... "it's all about taste - vibe coded apps don't have it"

NO - it's not that simple

as an insider let me share the deeper dynamics here:

1. even releasing a high quality app has never meant automatically getting adoption. people don’t scroll app store all day to see what are the latest 67000 apps just released

adoption of consumer apps depends on distribution - either you have a massive number of followers who’ll try your stuff, or you run ads with a lot of money. vibe coding doesn’t help people solve distribution so it’s completely unsurprising that app releases don’t correlate with adoption

2. with AI, people are going to need less and less apps. why would i switch between 5 different shopping apps if i can do everything in chatgpt? more and more things are getting done by agents, and people will just use one super app to talk to their agent. many new apps become pointless and will be rebuilt as a tool for agents instead

so.. if i get this right, app adoption will not just stay flat - it will decrease over time, and increasingly concentrate on a small number of super apps

and i think that’s a good thing. i want to turn on my phone and see a clean home screen with just a few things i need to think about, not 500 apps each sending me notifications trying to make me a DAU

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@maheshbiz_ I think that's where the market is now. Real operators, real use cases, real budgets. Much healthier than funding anything with AI in the title.

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@gracegongGG @alitamaseb @DCVC This is the bit many miss. Early capital should buy learning, not trap a team in last quarter's story.

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@Tristanrhee3 You usually know when people will pay for it, not just praise it.

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@smallfly This is properly interesting. I'd say getting the whole loop running end to end, even with tape holding it together, is usually the hard bit.

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

I think AI's made shipping the easy bit. What still takes time is distribution, trust, and finding out if anyone actually cares.

[Samuel Spitz @samuel_spitz]

Once you've gotten a business to $1M in revenue once, it feels much easier to do it again

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@ankrgyl Agreed. In practice, a lot of it is still old workflow with AI taped on. Agents need products rebuilt properly, not just a chat layer on top.

[Freddie Entrepreneur @collins_start]

@Spshulem Yes. Shipping is cheaper now. Distribution still isn't.
