Building tools to help founders and SME leaders make better decisions -

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

Enterprise has Palantir. Wall Street has Bloomberg terminals.
What do SME founders get?
Spreadsheets and gut feel.

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

Big decisions often define success, yet rarely make it to a dashboard.

You track revenue, churn, CAC. But entering a new market, changing pricing? That lives in someone's head.

What's the biggest shift in your business you couldn't attribute to any metric?

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

Don't sleepwalk into it. Adapt.

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

AI will kill jobs.

Until new needs emerge. People are good at getting busy and wanting stuff that is seen as valuable. Think 1990 to 2026: internet and mobile phones transformed everything. AI will disrupt faster and wider, but the economy always finds a way.

@lessin I thought AI was modern oil that will power everything

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

@0x_Kapoor @itsjoaki I've been planning to test this. It's good?

@benvspak And always will need

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

@benvspak Because someone needs money for saying some version of a) you need more motivation b) it's distribution

Call that old client.

Options are worth more when uncertainty is high. Worth less when the situation is predictable.

Today's news: AI is reshaping product categories. Buyer behavior is shifting. Economic conditions are anyone's guess.

Time to open up some options?

Entrepreneurs see opportunities everywhere.

Luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

Here's the preparation part: how to identify and evaluate your next move 👇

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

When encountering a new opportunity, how do you actually assess it?

Gut feeling? Some kind of framework? A mix of both?

Curious how you decide: go, pass, or "later".

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

@_lhermann This works if you actually listen to the customers

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

@audiencon So many trends nowadays, I just skip all of them.

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

@itsjoaki You can easily ship 100 things and none blows up. I mean quality and distribution matters..

Weekend build: Planner

"Plans are worthless, but planning is everything."

I wanted to plan out the year, but the tools I tried felt clumsy.

The idea is simple: Events connect to objective tracks, zoom from single-day milestones to multi-year initiatives.

- Extreme decomposition - break task into tiniest possible subtasks
- Voting - multiple agents solve each subtask, winner needs k-vote lead
- Red-flagging - discard outputs that are too long or badly formatted

Smaller models beat reasoning models on cost-effectiveness

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

Nice method: solving a million-step LLM task with zero errors:

--> agents only execute, they don't plan

@0xDevShah This is the moat for the next few years

[Tommi Hulkkonen @hulk_konen]

This isn't abstract. Check: https://t.co/pjihm8mywa

Markets shift faster now. Technology disrupts quicker. What worked for a decade can stop working in a quarter.

The more uncertain things get, the more your opportunities are worth.
