@sekaiapp by @lucky_z2 announced $20M Series A led by @khoslaventures + @ConnectVentures Day 1 of @Techweek_ #NYC 🙌

The one number that truly matters: creator-to-consumer ratio. Session length measures consumption. Not creation.

Signal Index merges founders inside FounderOS proving their
work + external evals — public rounds,
deals in the news.

Verdicts:
Track = proof is stacking.
Watch = constraint is named but unresolved.
Pass = assumption doing the most work isn't supported yet.

One take w/ Gemini. Not mad about it. Been sitting on this for a minute.

AI is really good at making perfect music. Problem is we don’t remember any of it.

Memorability is human. Love, pain, struggles, messiness… mistakes. We remember what registers. All of which AI registers as mistakes.

Being articulate is a plus.
Being genuine is a must.
If you care, I care.

Mary Bemis didn't change her mission. She changed who she was talking to — and how. That one shift changed everything. Story. Audience. Sales.

Most founders build on belief.

FounderOS forces you to build on proof.

Name the constraint. Run the experiment. Log what the data said.

That record feeds DILA — a verdict investors use before you pitch.

Signal NY · April 18.

VCs who’ve read the memos before the founders walk up.

That’s Signal NY. April 18. Fabrik DUMBO.

FounderOS/ DILA diligence/ Signal Index.
118 builders tracked.

First $1M: the infrastructure.
Next: the fund that invests where conviction is already proven.

We're already there.

@samshank @KatiaAmeri Great chat! @samshank 2 failed ventures in the hotel industry, what anchored you to double down & build @hotelstonight ? What fueled your belief?

Many founders are pivot-happy.

@Techweek_ tradition.
Since Y1 — when we hosted 2 of 30 events.

Now in Y4, it’s grown into a full momentum engine for founders and builders — from LA, NY, SF, and SEA.

The mission hasn’t changed:
to elevate the humans behind the ideas—stacking conviction before consensus.
