After six years, Jollibee is finally opening on Market Street. The beloved Filipino fast-food chain—known for its fried chicken, spaghetti, and peach mango pies—will open its doors July 31 at 934 Market Street, near the Powell Street BART station.

Six years is far too long for a business to wait. Through PermitSF, we are cutting red tape and making it faster and easier for businesses to open and grow in San Francisco. Stop by and welcome @Jollibee to San Francisco. https://t.co/BhZGOOTMh9

We're looking for a killer MTS (up to $300K, 3% equity) in person in SF to help build frontier agents for complex commercial underwriting that Fable can barely solve yet. More details in thread below:

I built a skill to let my Claude Code build premium landing pages like this in one shot. The 3 sites in the video are one-shot results, ~$10-15 each.

Register @higgsfield_ai , install the CLI and scroll-world skill, hand the rest to Claude Code.

Frontier models score <3% on commercial underwriting benchmarks.

We're hiring one Member of Technical Staff to change that.

$200-230K + 1.5-3% equity. In person SF.

Solving this unlocks credit for 1M+ US businesses, and genuinely is one of the hardest problems to crack.

DMs if this is something interesting. $10K if you refer the person we hire!

“You really have to work so hard. It’s so hard. And I think that’s misunderstood.”

Eileen Gu, the 22-year-old Stanford student, runway model, and only action-sport athlete to win three medals apiece at two Olympic Games (Beijing 2022, Milano Cortina 2026) has long been a subject of fascination. At Cannes Lions, she opens up about what people don't understand about being "the best" at their craft.

3. And that's why our brand is aimed to do - reflecting the quality, security and clarity we put into our product, while sharing our real story of what we saw working with some of the largest banks in the world.

The result has surprised even us: 5 new bank inbounds a week since launch.

🧵Introducing the new look of Proximitty - the AI operating system of commercial lending - explaining our brand below:

2. We worked with James Wu and his team on a simple brief: if we were starting a brand from zero, what would earn the trust of a chief credit officer in the first 10 seconds?

When you sell regulator-grade AI agents to commercial lenders, every detail is a signal. The way our outputs are tracable to its source inputs, how each section is optimised to minimise review time. Banks notice craft, because craft is a proxy for how you'll handle their borrowers' data and their examiners' questions.

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

We're excited to announce Diana Hu (@sdianahu) as YC's newest Managing Partner.

Diana co-founded Escher Reality (YC S17), which was acquired by Niantic, where she shipped AR to the 100M+ people playing Pokémon GO. Since returning to YC as a partner, she has worked with nearly 230 companies that are now worth a combined $7 billion.

Few people have built a startup from zero and also shipped at global scale. Diana has done both.
