I'm back from School

Building simple is difficult than building complicated

Decluttering > adding a feature

Especially in AI age

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

@RaiseGate @yashpanditrao Excited for this

Will give this a try

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

@yashpanditrao @karansehgal47 Haha I really mean it when I say it

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

Building an mvp is like making a time bomb with uncertainty

It might or might not explode

Nothing in between

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

Building a tool to 100X whats mentioned here

Got my validation

Make your network the biggest asset

Get customers, job, investors, employees in the most easiest way

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Many founders start their customer search with cold email, LinkedIn, and prospecting tools. But the first 10 customers rarely come from a tool. It starts somewhere else: your network, showing up in person, and a willingness to do things that don't scale.

In this episode of Startup School, YC Visiting Partner @maxkolysh draws on dozens of YC founder stories to explain how to identify the right buyers, start conversations, and turn them into your first customers.

0:00 - Why the first 10 are different
0:54 - Where does your buyer actually spend their time?
2:45 - Customers 1–3: work your warm network first
4:20 - Get in the room
5:14 - Conferences and founder dinners
6:15 - Find where your customers complain online
7:30 - How to go outbound
8:35 - Frame outreach as advice
10:20 - Writing outreach that sounds human
13:15 - Recap: The first 10 come from you

@RaiseGate Game changer for most of the founders out there

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

@ravikiran_dev7 Neither

No interface for humans would be needed in the near future.

This is all temperory

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

@adamcreates_ @remindmetrace @stardotfun Your network is your net worth — but everyone massively underuses it.

My system turns the network you already have into the goals you’re trying to reach,

and grows it into your most valuable asset

Happy to explain this further in dm

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

@yashpanditrao Controlling the full AI stack might dictate the company winning the entire race to AGI and beyond

Really insightful read

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

Built a tool to help founders raise in under 2 months.

Warm intros from people you already know, plus the right cold investors found and the outreach drafted for you — your whole investor pipeline in one place.

Want in? DM me what you're building — limited spots.

@prasenx Compute/Tokens will be the new currency, might be tradable like crypto

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

@connor1 @ycombinator Everything good in life comes through people — the job, the deal, the promotion, the friendships, the love.

I’m building an app that makes everyone’s network work for them, so opportunity stops belonging to the lucky few and starts belonging to everyone.

@ProximaMumbai @WisprFlow This is crazy good news

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

Every founder should build in public. It compounds trust faster than any ad campaign.

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

Google AI vibe coding is a temporary wrapper.

It will get absorbed by the underlying models.

I've seen this with my marketing software - 150+ businesses using it, but the AI features are just a small part.

The real value is in the system, not the wrapper.

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

Everyone thinks AI coding will make development easier for humans.

But it's actually a step toward an agent-only internet, where humans won't interact with code at all.

My Web MCP platform is already heading in this direction.

Soon to launch

@sachinyadav699 Not a thick wallet though

[Deep Soni @deepsoni]

Building in public is just outsourcing your QA to strangers.

Id rather pay a tester than beg for free feedback.
