Happy New Year... 🎊

EARLY REMINDER: To create "wraps" and showcase your customers' journey with your business by the end of 2026, you need to start generating insights from all their data points from today.

That's what I, as a Marketing Analyst, can help your business do.

Is there anyone who can advise on how I can proceed from here to claim my late dad's shares?

Surprising how “ruthlessness” is their super power… And they tend to thrive.

[Michael Franzese @MichaelFranzese]

I’ve spent my life around people who knew how to make money when everything fell apart. So when I started looking into George Soros, I recognized something.

One currency collapses and he walks away richer. A nation’s economy breaks and his name turns up again. Then again. And again. At some point you stop calling it luck and start asking if it’s a pattern. In this one I walk through the crises — the Bank of England, the countries that never recovered — and I lay out what keeps repeating. I’m not here to tell you what to think. I’m here to show you the playbook and let you connect the dots. Because once you see how this works, you can’t unsee it. This is one of the most important things I’ve looked into, and I want you to watch it with your own eyes.

@wyd_loner Why do you choose the hurt and damaged to give a platform to? You are damaging society. You the problem… Not even her.

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.

Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.

You too can connect the dots: https://t.co/faIfzWfAIp

This handle is doing more work than NAFDAC in Nigeria.

Is there a science behind why I am way more productive in heat than in the cold. 🫠🤔

[Chima (Magic Man)✨ @keec_20]

@TosinOlugbenga For a non-technical builder like me, I'm definitely vibe coding to get that MVP to my users. Then gradually correct any errors as I go forward, having some proof of my concept and revenue.

Most great softwares we use today didn't start perfect either. That's normal.

@iamchrisani Double down on working with small to mid-sized businesses to generate insights from their customers' data that help them to channel the right effort and resources, through the right channels, to their most profitable customer segments cutting loss from wastage and boosting profit

[Chima (Magic Man)✨ @keec_20]

@mykeels My close circle of friends are living proof of this. We've experienced transformational changes that seemed impossible at the time of thought just by taking small steps and riding the wave of each other's progressive influence.

- As part of it, each individual is often primal and less civilised. Often due to 3 causes (that can be manipulated)

1. Anonymity.
2. Contagion.
3. Suggestibility.

Understanding gives insights to how religious, political, and social & anti-social groups hold sway.

'How Crowds Control Your Mindset' - by Gustav Le Bon.

Interesting read if you are looking to be someone influential.

Key rake away:
- Crowd is a group united by a common ideology. But the character of the crowd is often very different from that of each individual member.

2026 is the GREATEST time to build a startup in 30 years

I’m 36. I’ve sold 3 startups, helped build companies that raised billions, and backed teams from seed to unicorn.

20 MEGA shifts that make this the BEST time to build in a GENERATION:

1. Hardware got smart. Download open-source AI models from HuggingFace to cheap robots and they're suddenly smart. Opens up tons of use-cases.

2. SaaS is imploding. AI can replicate $500K software for pennies. Enterprise software that took 30 engineers now requires 1 and a Claude Code subscription. Founders will go more niche and more custom and outprice incumbents.

3. Outcome-based pricing is eating subscriptions. With AI agents handling work automatically, founders can guarantee results instead of selling features. This creates a massive arbitrage opportunity to steal market share from rigid subscription models.

4. Vibe marketing is the new marketing. AI agents/tools like Lindy, Gemini and Claude Code Using agents to do personalized outreach, ads and content creation it’s getting good. This is like getting on social in 2005.

5. Social is FYP-ified. Distribution no longer requires massive followings, just content that hits. Founders can build audience from zero without ads and then convert them to owned media channels (text/email).

6. Interfaces are vanishing. Conversations are replacing dashboards across industries. This removes training barriers and means customers can use sophisticated products immediately.

7. Companies are obsessed with efficiency and cutting costs right now. Corporate budgets are getting reallocated to AI. Companies are cutting traditional software spend to make room for AI-powered alternatives. This creates fast-tracked approvals for startups delivering 10x efficiency.

8. 99% of MVPs won't need VC. Low-cost MVPs combined with creator partnerships and AI automation allow bootstrapped scaling. For most software businesses, outside funding is now unnecessary.

9. Global teams. You don’t need to hire in your own city anymore. Opens up tons of arbitrage opportunities and ways to create products unlike before.

10. Millions of creators want to get paid. If you have the right product, the right network of creators, you can hit scale insanely efficiently. Never before did this exist. Next gen founders are building startups community first, software second.

11. Prototyping is nearly instant. With Lovable, Rork etc, you can test ideas in days, not months. MVP speed is basically 1x/week. This creates room for multiple products from small companies (multipreneurship), helps get to PMF faster,

12. LLM APIs create building blocks weekly. I can’t even keep up with how many new APIs/tools coming out from LLMs weekly. Example: Nano Banana pro comes out, probably 1000 ideas built on top of that can be $5M/year businesses.

13. $1m+ revenue per employee. With the leverage of LLMs, community and agents, employees are way more efficient. It won’t be uncommon to generate $1m per employee. This will lead to a rise of "multipreneurship", small teams owning multiple products /businesses. Holding companies will be as common as startups.

14. Superniche is the new niche. Because costs to create software startups is 1/100th, you can service little niches (i call them superniches) and still have a life-changing business.

15. Mobile app ecosystem about to 10X. 2 reasons. First is, adding AI to apps make apps more useful. More useful apps, make more money. Second,

16. Compliance and boring workflows are suddenly buildable. Permits, audits, insurance, payroll edge cases, filings, RFPs. These were “too annoying” for startups before. Agents thrive on rules, checklists, and repetition. The least sexy problems now have the best unit economics.

17. Claude Code killed the “engineering bottleneck.” The constraint is no longer “can we build it,” it’s “do we understand the workflow deeply enough.” The winning founders are ex-operators who encode tribal knowledge into agents. Code is cheap. Taste + domain insight is scarce.

18. The long tail of software is now profitable. Niches that capped at $200k ARR can clear $5M with near-zero marginal cost.

19. Services are quietly becoming software. Manual agencies are one agent away from product margins.

20. if AI can replicate $500K software for $20/month, what’s your moat? distribution, customer service, brand, data etc. REALLY good time to be a world class designer/marketer.

(and even more.... but this is getting long already!)

We've entered the rarest of windows...

when multiple technological shifts collide at once, creating a brief period where small teams can build things that were previously impossible.

THE FUTURE OF BUILDING STARTUPS IS DIFFERENT.

I know this...

This unique moment won't last forever. Markets will adapt. Giants will respond. The window will close.

But right now, a founder with clear vision and bias for action can build more in six months than was previously possible in years.

(note: if you need an idea to get creative juices flowing, grab one at @ideabrowser)

The next generation of great companies is being created right now, many by founders you've never heard of.

Some by people who would never have had a shot in previous cycles.

That's the beauty of these rare windows. The playing field briefly levels, and the future belongs to those who see it clearly and move first.

It's a sacred time, don't bookmark/share this, build something in 2026, will ya?

Happy building, my friends. 2026 is yours.

Am I wrong?

@jon_d_doe Part of his responsibilities is to protect his home. In this case he clearly has assessed that telling his wife potentially has a detrimental impact on the family by making their future uncertain through lavish spending... He need to protect his family's future at any cost.

[Chima (Magic Man)✨ @keec_20]

For 2025 I told myself to take a breather… Be simple and gradually progressive. I needed that, honestly.

But I have built the strength to dash forward and the fuel to burn, now 2026 we go for “Unhinged Execution”.

Then got stuck midway backbone in the middle of the night at the Grand Central Railway Station in Birmingham.

Last weekend's shenanigan... And how I stumbled on this beautiful glasshouse which is Worcester Parkway Railway station 😍
