to me the reason for this is fairly obvious. Because our main source of collecting non customer emails is abandoned checkouts, those people are naturally a lot more high intent than people that come through a popup
Fewer junk emails clogging up the list, higher rev per recipient, not letting any sofware claim sales and paying them
Also not letting my email agency claim sales for people who buy after popup (who 9/10 would have bought anyway)
A toothpaste company has quietly killed the entire market research industry and nobody is talking about it.
Colgate published a paper showing you can predict real purchase intent at 90% accuracy by simply asking LLMs to roleplay customers.
And this is beyond insane.
If you ask an AI, "Rate this product from 1 to 5," it gives safe, middle-of-the-road garbage.
So researchers invented a method called Semantic Similarity Rating (SSR).
Instead of asking the AI for a number, they asked it to roleplay.
They gave the LLM a demographic profile. They showed it a product concept. And they asked it to write down its raw, unfiltered thoughts.
Then, they used a semantic model to translate those written thoughts into a numerical score.
The results are staggering.
Tested against 57 real corporate surveys and 9,300 actual human responses, the synthetic AI consumers matched real human buying behavior with 90% reliability.
They perfectly mirrored how different age brackets and income levels react to price changes.
And they provided detailed, qualitative feedback that was deeper and more critical than what actual humans wrote.
This destroys the economics of traditional market research.
You don't need to wait a month to see if a product will sell.
You can simulate 1,000 hyper-targeted customer interviews overnight.
You can A/B test pricing across every demographic instantly.
Low latent inhibition is analyzing the spectral distribution of the studio lights, while paying close to the dilation of the interviewers pupils, while explaining how bpc-157 works and imagining how a hater and a supporter may interpret it. All at once
Founders: Grade your pipeline weekly on two axes:
1. Deal size
2. Close probability
Spend 80% of your time on the top right quadrant.
Don't let small, uncertain deals steal focus from big, likely wins.
Jacob is doing some great groundwork on HQ
but lets not turn this into a fermat
we gotta explain what it does.
What the hell is HQ?
You know all that cool shit you are making in claude?
How do you get your employees to see it and use it in their version of claude?
how do you make sure the whole team has the latest projects, folders, files, skills, assets, etc.
And what if you hate claude now and want to try codex?
How do you port all that shit over?
your apis, your connectors, everything
and how do you do it for YOUR ENTIRE ORG?
HQ does that
its one of those weird little pieces of ai infrastructure that ends up being bought for a billion dollars
Founders: it feels weird, but a huge part of sales is just pure activity.
Think of it like a video game.
Prospect meeting? 5 points.
It’s a first meeting? 10 points.
Email touch on an open opportunity? 1 point.
How many points can you generate a day?
i just found out retatrutide is still in clinical trials and not yet available to the public. i tried reta 2 years ago and know like 20 ppl who are currently on it. ppl truly live in such wildly different realities.
why do so many agencies send a card payment link with their invoice?
Why not just send bank details?
Skip the card fees and risk of chargebacks
Seems retarded
I don’t see people talking about how nuts you have to be to build a brand from nothing
You have to be insane
Think about it… you have an idea one day in the shower and then you just bust your ass for years only to have a tiny percent-chance at success?
No sane person does it
