Capital without the Venture @BuybackVC, we're looking for bootstrapped founders with LLCs that have a $300,000 opportunity that will generate enough free cash flow in 3 years so they can buy back a majority of our equity. Tag an amazing founder, who's too humble to ask for help.

Fundraising can be so difficult and non-intuitive. So, I'm super excited to announce that we wrote a tactical book to help first-time founders raise money. And it’s 100% free. More >>

What Amazon’s doing really well with the launch of the Amazon Q GenAI assistant is really illustrating that it’s a platform. They’ve shown real integrations across a broad domain of use cases to help people understand the potential. #reinvent
