And that’s exactly why enterprise software is here to stay @t_blom
People will fall in love with the service not the technology. 🤔

This is the mindset we need in Europe. The price doesn’t matter if you’re truly in the venture game. It either goes massive or it doesn’t. If you have to calculate 10-20% discount in the round price, you might as well join PE.
There is no value investing in venture Either you believe even at this "crazy price" it is still crazy mispriced vs the eventual outcome... Or you shouldn't invest

Doing full-stack interviews right now and came across this on Reddit. Cognizant made the list twice—ouch!

Works like a charm. Don’t worry about doing it, just do it. Momentum always wins.
Even better than meditation.

Love the ref to the Cambridge spy ring here @jesslivingston. A great reminder that startup success is all about momentum and speed, and not about fancy bios.
I'd forgotten how informal the first bios I wrote for us were. The reason Jessica was called the Fourth Man (a reference to the Cambridge spy ring) was that she hadn't quit her previous job yet.

This is the best advice I would give to any founders. Keep talking until you find your true believers. Rejections simply mean it was not a fit.
Better to spend your time focused on finding the true believers, rather than convincing the non believers. True of fundraising, hiring, and other things in life.

What is a weekend? Genuine question. Did you know unlike a month or a day, there is nothing natural about a week. The whole concept of weekend was invented as a result of worker activism during Industrial Revolution /1
There is no such thing as a balanced life in startups––everyone from the CEO down is responsible for setting a culture where people want to work extremely hard and win.

And if you’re joining an early stage startup, you should do so to be part of building something very exciting. Working very hard comes with the territory and that’s why an early stage startup is not for everyone. /4

To me going to work feels like playing a game. Every day you unlock new levels, get new missions and you win new battles. It’s fun, it’s not something I want to take a break from!

Yes it was about the time we got a native agentic browser. Cannot wait @AravSrinivas
Perplexity will be launching a new agentic browser: Comet very soon!

I did 4 out of 6 in this list and never regretted. I would throw in psychology and philosophy as well though.

Time to dust off our readings on Bismarck’s realpolitik.

Next up: daily standups for the sprint team. Oh wait!
Responding to this email would take less than 2 minutes for any truly productive person. Why is this in any way controversial?
