JUST IN: Marc Andreessen reveals โAI vampiresโ are emerging in Silicon Valley โ coders getting so little sleep because they stay up all night building with agents.
Claude for GTM event was actually good surprisingly. Here are my take away:
The real unlock with Claude isn't better prompts , it's better context.
Most people use AI tools in isolation. The magic happens when Claude has full context of your business โ your positioning, audience, pipeline, everything.
Use it to run CRM, automate newsletters, draft LinkedIn, handle outreach. Each workflow like a different employee.
The blocker isn't technical. It's that your systems aren't connected. Fix that and Claude goes from chatbot to GTM engine.
coming to sf made me realize most founders have the same problem
they can build anything but can't get anyone to use it
the gap isn't product. it's distribution.
every conversation at every event comes back to "how do i get customers"
that's what we're building for
