Throughout my career, the software I’ve built that made the most impact was always built for people, not the market.
When you start with people, you solve the problems that hurt them. The market always follows. It never leads.
🌧️ See flooding? Don't just post it. Map it.
We've partnered with #FixitNow to build a citizen-powered flood map of #Ghana. If you spot #flooding, snap it, pin it, and report it through the app (download via our Linktree).
It starts with all of us.

Shout out to the creators of @boardyai. You guys are GOAT!
In my experience, it does an incredible job connecting you to investors and helping you to find jobs/leads. Can't imagine how awesome this will be in the next few months.
Cheat code: stop sending cold DMs to investors.
Get someone they already trust to introduce you.
I've made over 110k intros. Most of them being founders and vc's.
Here's what actually works:
1. Find 2-3 companies in their portfolio that looks like yours and talk to those founders
2. See what the investor cares about
3. Get introduced with context the VC wants to hear
Learn to get close with their inner circle for that intro.
@sflorimm We know it exists, and in some cases, we have found a few ways around it. The real fix is for the AI researchers to do. As for us, it's either we trust the AI slop or verify its work before shipping.
I'll never get why founders lie about their products. In 2026 you can't lie your way out; everyone's building, so everyone spots it, and all you lose is your reputation. Ship the real thing and the right buyers will find you.
