🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk speaks from Starbase as SpaceX goes public, with the largest IPO EVER

"If people had told me this was going to happen [years ago], I would be like, man, you must be smoking some REALLY good crack because I think this company is going to fail!" 🤣

"I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all, to be clear. In fact, I told people this: I said, 'look, we're probably going to fail, but, you know, we should give it a try because if we don't, if if there's not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly spacefaring civilization.'" 💯

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 60 minute lecture from Steve Jobs after being fired from Apple. It will teach you more about building companies than most startup books ever will.

HEVN (@hevn_finance) is building a “Brex for non-US companies” — an alternative financial platform that lets businesses open virtual bank accounts in 8 banks worldwide, use USD cards with cashback for Google/Meta ads, and store funds in USD.

Congrats on the launch, @p_volnov and @Nikitadigital10!

We (@slashapp) raised a $100M Series C at $1.4 billion valuation to build the world's most powerful business banking platform.¹

The round was led by @RibbitCapital, and co-led by @khoslaventures & @GoodwaterCap.

And we're releasing Twin: the world’s first AI private banker.

Just sold my company. Stepping away from VC for a bit.

Here’s the early-stage fundraising playbook:

1.Raise only when it’s obvious you’re ready
2.Until then, tell investors you’re busy building
3.Ignore associates chasing you - if they want in, the partner will show up
4.Trusted signal is everything - the right angels can 10x your odds
5.Seed rounds should close in 2-3 weeks
6.Longer usually means you started too early
7.Compress the process - tight calendar, fast replies
8.48h silence = dead
9.Angels/small funds decide in 1-2 meetings
10.Big funds get 2 meetings + partner meeting
11.Skip pre-seed
12.Skip accelerators
13. Be confident and direct, never a douchebag
14.Enjoy

Today we are launching my favorite feature of ChatGPT so far, called Pulse. It is initially available to Pro subscribers.

Pulse works for you overnight, and keeps thinking about your interests, your connected data, your recent chats, and more. Every morning, you get a custom-generated set of stuff you might be interested in.

It performs super well if you tell ChatGPT more about what's important to you. In regular chat, you could mention “I’d like to go visit Bora Bora someday” or “My kid is 6 months old and I’m interested in developmental milestones” and in the future you might get useful updates.

Think of treating ChatGPT like a super-competent personal assistant: sometimes you ask for things you need in the moment, but if you share general preferences, it will do a good job for you proactively.

This also points to what I believe is the future of ChatGPT: a shift from being all reactive to being significantly proactive, and extremely personalized.

This is an early look, and right now only available to Pro subscribers. We will work hard to improve the quality over time and to find a way to bring it to Plus subscribers too.

Huge congrats to @ChristinaHartW, @_samirism, and the team for building this.
