Major green flags in a founder:

1/ crazy grit, won’t give up
2/ started building before pitching investors
3/ constantly moving, constantly generating new information
4/ very technical
5/ not addicted to founder cosplay
6/ goes out and talks to users
7/ finds creative, experimental marketing channels
8/ genuinely cares about what they’re building
9/ never blames others or external factors
10/ tinkered with projects obsessively at a young age
11/ constantly comes up with interesting ideas
12/ knows their metrics cold
13/ doesn’t chase hype, chases truth
14/ excellent storyteller. Can sell the vision to hires, investors, and customers
15/ can clearly explain what they are building in one sentence
16/ can’t stop talking to customers

If you hit a good chunk of these, tell me what you are building

[Founders Inc @fdotinc]

these guys made a pair of shorts that track your muscles like a whoop watch

- find muscle imbalances
- track soreness
- electrolyte loss
- identify weaknesses
- motion sensors to perfect your form
- prevent injuries before they happen
- an in depth app that tells you everything

Verily, God provides to whomever He wills, without measure!

[catalyx space @catalyxspace]

Most founders start in a garage.
We started on a rooftop.

Just an idea, some hardware, and 0 money.
7 months later, we launched a spacecraft.

This is that story.

[catalyx space @catalyxspace]

We’re excited to welcome Donovan Moss to Catalyx Space as our VP of National Security & Defense.

Donovan brings a rare combination of operational, government, and venture experience - having served in the U.S. Air Force and Space Force, led initiatives within Space Systems Command, and most recently worked closely with dual-use startups through SpaceWERX and the venture ecosystem.

With his leadership, we are doubling down on our focus in the defense market - aligning Catalyx more deeply with the evolving needs of U.S. national security and the future of space as a strategic domain.

As space becomes increasingly critical to national security, we’re proud to support the broader mission of maintaining U.S. leadership in space.

Excited for what’s ahead. Welcome to the team, Donovan

[catalyx space @catalyxspace]

[saqib hussain @heysaqh]

rejection is a crazy fuel source.

2 years ago, one of my co-founders got dumped.

she said: “focus on your career.”

so he did.

- $7M raised
- rocket engine built
- burned a rose with it this Valentine’s Day

he posted it on his story.

she saw it.

he went back to “career”.

[thaneem rayan @thaneeeem]

@heysaqh Marketing team nailed it👀

[thaneem rayan @thaneeeem]

@riftron_ no time to build trust, only thrust🔥

[thaneem rayan @thaneeeem]

This valentine:

build trust❌
build thrust✅

[Rifath Shaarook @riftron_]

Anti-Valentine update nobody asked for.
Shipped anyway.

Next big thing: April 2026.

Can’t say what it is (yet).
But you’ll want to see it.

Want in early → join the waitlist.

Link in bio.

[saqib hussain @heysaqh]

Days since Crew-11 landed. Still feels surreal.

this is not CGI.

we drove to the sf beach at midnight.
waited for hours…

just to witness a few seconds of re-entry.

moments like this remind you why you build.

in a year, @catalyxspace won’t just be watching.

we’ll be tracking our own return.

God willing. :)

[Furqan Rydhan @FurqanR]

January is going to be different.

We're bringing 200+ builders to our campus with one goal: ship.

It's called Artifact and it'll be our biggest program yet.

Superheroes are real.
They just work in silence.

So, we made this for them.
And maybe… for you too.

[thaneem rayan @thaneeeem]

@riftron_ It's hard to call any video a masterpiece coz it just keeps getting better every freaking time!
