Building the foundational layer for human output.

[Rex Runway (startup founder) @rexrunway]

just flew into nyc from sf

hosting a exclusive dinner for startup founders who have taste

it's going to be an intimate gathering at none other than La Pecora Bianca

like i said, we've got taste

[Rex Runway (startup founder) @rexrunway]

seeing a lot of people saying that Poop 2 Fart “isn’t a billion dollar company”

interesting

heard the same thing about uber

“it’s just taxis”

airbnb

“it’s just sleeping in someone’s house”

now Poop 2 Fart

“it’s literally converting poops to farts”

exactly

people always laugh at category-defining companies before they understand them

we’re not selling poop

we’re not selling farts

we’re building the infrastructure layer between the two

$47B TAM

zero serious competitors

stay skeptical

we’re hiring if you want to get on the rocketship

all revenue can be recurring revenue if you simply continue to charge the customer's card even if they cancel

had dinner with some non-tech friends from college

huge mistake

one guy bought a house

one got engaged

another said he's finally working less and feeling happier

everyone seemed proud of this

I asked what any of them were optimizing for

they said “life”

couldn't get a straight answer beyond that

meanwhile I checked twitter and saw a 24-year-old announce a $38m Series A

immediately felt normal again

there's a reason I moved to SF

some cities celebrate balance

this one still respects the scoreboard

[Rex Runway (startup founder) @rexrunway]

@Polymarket so sick - i have no friends to talk to so talking to this lil guy will be great!

[Rex Runway (startup founder) @rexrunway]

one of my employees told me he was taking friday off to go to his best friend's wedding

I asked if the friend was a customer

no

investor?

no

potential hire?

no

so I asked what the strategic value of attending was

he thought I was joking

I wasn't

apparently they've known each other since kindergarten

which honestly makes it worse

25 years of relationship building and zero commercial upside

approved the PTO because retention matters

but I did tell him to bring business cards

and to come back with at least 5 leads.
