Via Negativa. The negative path. The path of removal.

Great piece from @sahilbloom on removing negative patterns in your life.

Excited to announce Anthropic for Startups!

At our developer conference last week, Code with Claude, @DarioAmodei predicted that we'll see the first billion-dollar business started by a single person as soon as 2026.

This has created a new reality for startups: your first round of funding is no longer allocated towards hiring engineers, but more effectively allocated towards distribution, branding, GTM, and inference.

@AnthropicAI, we have a front view seat of this new breed of AI-native builders who go from $0 to $1M+ ARR in weeks.

Recognizing this paradigm shift, we want to give you more fuel as you build through:
⚡Free API credits
🛠️ Priority rate limits
👾 Exclusive community events
🤖 Early access to new API features

Technical execution used to be the moat. Now anyone can build software quickly.

The question isn't "What will you build?"

It's "Why haven't you built it already?"

Can't wait to see what you create on Claude👇

[Jo Zhu Kennedy @jozhukennedy]

Earlier this week we hosted @AnthropicAI's first Founder Day with @NEA and @factorialfunds.

@DanielaAmodei kicked us off and @mikeyk shared lessons from the early days of building @instagram - to be "humble but confident" - especially resonant in the LLM arena where industry benchmarks are leapfrogged at an unmatched velocity. @CalRueb jumped in the end with a sneak preview into best practices on prompt engineering vs finetuning.

Some highlights from our day👇

Today @AnthropicAI is launching a $100M Anthology Fund with @MenloVentures

Why "Anthology"? It's a hat tip to the AI innovators building tech to push humanity forward - solving the most intractable societal problems in healthcare, infra, energy, workforce development & education

Super important to know potential worst case scenarios when evaluating risk.

“You can be risk-loving but also completely adverse to ruin. The odds are in your favor when playing Russian roulette but the downside is not worth the potential upside.” - Morgan Housel

Aren’t there hundreds of case studies at this point that prove aggressive drip campaigns aren’t effective?

By implicating the referrer in their drip campaign, they could harm relationships between current and potential customers. @factormeals?

Worst #Lacroix flavor?

I’ll go first. Cherry Blossom. Literally undrinkable.

One thing we appear to have gotten right about #monkeypox is branding. Its scary just by it’s name!

How much more seriously would folks have taken #COVID19 in the early days if it had a terrifying name?
