we're applying to a16z @speedrun with @noticedso.
referrals are not easy to get if you're not well connected in san francisco, so we used noticed to build a public directory of 835 scouts, partners and alumni.
and we made it public so any founder can benefit from it.
if you're not in sf, applying to a16z speedrun can feel like a different game. the application is open globally, but most founders get in through someone who lives within a few blocks of the sand hill office. noticed put 835 of those people in one public list.
the shape of noticed under the hood
8 subsystems around an orchestration core: identity, memory, context, compaction, tools, sessions, automation, evals
and @simao_etc open-sourced the whole thing
on a discovery call. halfway through, the prospect describes a pain almost word for word. you've heard this before, from someone you had dinner with six months ago. they would buy. you can't remember who. the easiest customer of the year just disappeared.
