SpaceX has arrived.
We announced an agreement to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio that will pave the way for @Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US.
With this new spectrum and our Gen2 constellation, Starlink Mobile can ensure Americans have access to high-speed mobile broadband no matter where they are → spacex.com/updates#starlink-…

📢📢 Friends!! In 9 days I’ll be running the Chicago Marathon for the first time!
After the race, I’ll visit New York. I would love to meet other founders focused on fintech, payments and Ai.
If you want to grab a coffee, my DMs are open!
This is outstanding.
Today, Long Lake completed our $6.3B acquisition of Amex GBT.
Long Lake acquires and transforms generational businesses with AI across the American services economy.
Amex GBT is the travel partner for 17,500 businesses in 140 countries. Last year, Amex GBT booked 35 million trips for 10 million travelers.
This marks Long Lake’s 40th acquisition, and our family of companies now employs nearly 30,000 people.
We founded Long Lake three years ago with the thesis that AI is going to change every company, but there’s a large overhang between AI capabilities and how most businesses leverage AI tools.
We partner with strong, profitable, and growing businesses to help them deploy AI and improve their customer service.
Our first cohort of companies has doubled their EBITDA in less than two years through topline and productivity growth, all while increasing headcount. (We’re proud to say that we’ve never conducted a layoff.)
We’re excited to share a bit more about what we’ve been up to.
And, another one. Do you think the idea of making them “cute characters” was always there or something they did after seeing @Muse designs?
“50% of Instinct's transaction volume is travel”
Travel agencies: 👀👀👀
A list of surprising and mind-boggling stats from this conversation:
- $1B+ a year in transaction volume (still invite only)
- Growing 10%+ A DAY and has spent zero dollars on marketing
- 40% of users shared a personal credit card with Instinct within 3 weeks
- Compute demand is doubling roughly every week
- At 5 to 8% daily growth over the months it takes to bring new compute online, Instinct would reach about 100 million users
- On Instinct's own A/B tests, it matches Opus 5 performance at a fraction of the cost
- Noah spends about 40% of his time on compute
- Buying compute at the last minute costs 3 to 4x more
- Background work runs on setups that are 3x, 5x and 8x more efficient on the same compute
- 50% of Instinct's transaction volume is travel
- Instinct plans to take a cut of what users buy (take rates, Shopify is~2.5-3%, Amazon ~15%, Apple 30%)
- Noah's personal goal is to keep Instinct free for everyone for life
- Some small businesses run their entire back office on Instinct
- Users who connect at least one piece of sensitive information retain at about 80%
- Some users send more than 90% of their messages to Instinct by voice
- Say an app makes 70% of its money from ads and 30% from actually selling you things. Agents could wipe out the 70%, but Noah thinks the 30% gets much bigger, because people buy more when buying takes zero effort
- Instinct launched to about 200 friends and family
- Invites have sold on eBay for around $300
- More than 50% of Instinct's traffic doesn't run on iMessage
- Instinct has proactively called Noah three times
- The company is less than a year old
- Raised $1B at a $10B valuation, less than a month after raising at $2.5B
- Noah is 23
