London thrived despite the drizzle but its financial dominance also leaned on deep informal/underground networks & later lax oversight that funneled global dirty money. Estimates suggest ~40% of world illicit funds have flowed through the City & Crown Dependencies via property, shell companies & offshore links. Weather helped attract talent; the 'black market' banking side (money laundering, hawala-style transfers) supercharged the capital flows. Legitimate innovation built the empire, but the shadows kept the lights on

@adamlyttleapps Ask Claude to be critical of the idea. Brought me back down to earth several times. But the truth is usually somewhere in the middle

Gojiberry AI just hit $3.5M ARR.

11 months ago we were at $0.

This is the second SaaS I've built. The first one I sold at €500K ARR.

This time, we moved faster. Here's exactly how we did it, so you can do it too.

The core principle that changed everything:

We used our own tool to grow our own tool.

Gojiberry AI finds high-intent leads and engages with them automatically.

We run it on ourselves. It works insanely well.

Here's the full breakdown:

1) Outreach (the engine)

- LinkedIn: 5 accounts, 30 connection requests + 30 DMs per account per day.

Only targeting warm leads showing real intent.

Connection acceptance rates and reply rates are insane when you do this right.

- Cold email: 6,000 emails per day. 295,000 sent in 90 days. 900+ opportunities created.

41 domains, 123 inboxes, plain text only, no links, no images, 2-3 email sequences max.

Total infra cost: ~$600/month.

The offer is always the same: a valuable blueprint. No pitch. Just value first.

2) Inbound (the compound effect)

- LinkedIn: 6 posts per day across 6 accounts.

6 days/week = lead magnet content. 1 day/week = founder story.

Last 7 days: 788,187 impressions.

- Reddit: 14.8M+ views in 12 months. The trick: warm up the account, post 3x per week, tell real stories, offer blueprints, and never debate the haters.

- YouTube: Long-tail SEO content targeting competitor keywords. It's starting to rank.

- SEO: 50K visitors/month and growing fast.

3) Paid ads

- 10 LinkedIn influencer posts/week (~$500 each).

- Facebook retargeting + acquisition

Scaling paid ads aggressively right now.

4) Demos

5–8 per day. ~70% close rate to free plan. Mostly sales teams.

5) UGC

We post 1200 UGCs per month across social media. From time to time, one goes super viral.

What actually worked:
→ Using our own tool on ourselves (this alone is a cheat code)
→ High-intent outreach > cold outreach. Every single time.
→ Lead magnet posts on LinkedIn that generate thousands of comments.

One post added $5K MRR in under 24 hours. Cost: $0.

→ Replying to every single comment.
→ Speed. Every delay kills momentum. We removed friction from every step of the funnel.
→ AI helping us do 10x more than we ever could alone.

What's not working:
- We need to delegate more

The path from €0 to $3.5M ARR is not glamorous.

It's 18-hour days, boring repetitive work, testing things that fail, and doing it all again tomorrow.

But if you do the right things every day, good outreach, real value, fast follow-up, it compounds.

And one day you wake up and you're above $3M ARR.

The goal now: $10M ARR.
LFG. 🔥

@uvkewate Where’s the best place to find and connect with them?

[Flaco @flacoCastro24]

@S0N_IA If mythos is really that advanced. Shouldn’t it have detected this sooner?

[Flaco @flacoCastro24]

@garyvee I disagree. It’s too expensive, wages, insurance, facilities, marketing. Maybe a shared space like we work but instead WePlay

Wow NOFORN for LLM is crazay

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.
