A bakery owner and an app founder hit the same wall with paid ads.
Neither has time to figure it out. Both need customers yesterday. π

My CTO's personality type is the complete opposite of mine.
Jay Ma is structured and objective. Very engineering and systems minded.
I'm flexible and creative, and most of my decisions are spontaneous.
Clashing personality types can either go very well or very badly. We all know of "so and so" who had a co-founder conflict that destroyed the company.
Our relationship works because Jay is the voice of reason for some of my stupid decisions. He's stopped me from doing a lot of crazy things.
Does it drive me nuts sometimes?
Yes. It feels like telling Da Vinci he can't paint today.
But a lot of founding teams fight because their personalities don't fit.
Ours fits because they don't match. I push on moonshot ideas, and Jay makes sure we have stay grounded on what's possible.

WPP has cut ~11,000 roles since 2025. Omnicom is going from ~120k to ~105k people.
The money isn't leaving advertising.
It's leaving the billable hour.

Introducing Hellyeah.
Marketing has left the agency.

A bunch of my founder friends lost their soul to Y Combinator.
They entered it passionate about building a company.
Then came the question of what to build.
And then a YC partner tells them something like this:
"You're ex-Google, you should build a devtool. With your background you'll raise easily."
So then the founder, who originally wanted to build a dating app, gets told to build an AI devtool instead.
Or WORSE, they go build some random ai b2b saas because it's on the "request for startups" list, and a year later it's gone nowhere.
Let's be real lil bro, you're not passionate about building a vector database.
OK, maybe a few nerds genuinely are, and I respect them.
But most of the "AI agent for accounting" founders I meet don't care about accounting at all.
The YC partners have a list of categories that are hot and will get funded for sure, and they just mix and match founders to that list. Founder-market fit turns into a matching game. I've watched founders raise $10M and still have no effing clue what they're building. Most of them quit in a few mons and back to openai.
Most young founders would be much better off building in a space they're excited about, because that excitement and curiosity will keep you going when it starts to get really tough.
Disclaimer: I'm not anti-YC, I actually angel in a lot of YC startups. But if you need someone else to tell you what to build, money doesn't fix that problem.
