I always struggle to remember the things I've read or learned in the past when I need it most, even while keeping tons of notes.
Easy to consume the content but hard to retrieve the knowledge when you need it
Bc of that, I'm shipping an AI Note Copilot that I use myself built on @cursor_ai @vercel and @Railway that takes notes and helps me ask questions like:
- What have I changed my mind on?
- What did I think about xyz 3 years ago?
- How did I approach this situation in the past and what did I learn?
It ended up generating really powerful results

From ZERO to $1B in 3.5 years.
We wrote their first check at Lux…
Here’s how they did it.
Let’s go!! Thrilled to be a part of this team
Ambition is timeless. Tools are not.
Today @nominal_io is announcing an $80M fundraise at a $1B valuation, led by @traestephens and @zebulgar at @foundersfund.
Since our Series B 10 months ago: 7x revenue growth. 2x team growth.
Hardware engineers are stuck between 1980s-era tools and .com software built to be replaced. We're fixing the data supply chain so the industrial sector can adopt AI and enter the next era of ambition.
We’re also releasing Volume 1 of the Nominal Product Catalog: "Tools for Progress."

We're grateful for continued participation from @sequoia, @generalcatalyst, @Lux_Capital, @lightspeedvp, @redglassvc, @avenirgrowth, and @haystackvc.
All Systems Nominal.

For the first time in history, over 1 in 3 startups were started solo this year.

Solo founders seem odd today.
Soon they'll be the default.
Beginning of Infinity by @DavidDeutschOxf is one of those books that takes a few tries (I think) to figure out what he’s actually saying, but once you do, hard to look at anything going on the same way again
new feature shipped in ~6 minutes

Already over 3k notes uploaded with AI Note Copilot pretty wild to see 🤯

As a parent building with @cursor_ai really the best part is banging out 1-3 new features with extremely limited time
1000x building speed since you don’t need to get locked in for hours (impossible with small kids)
check it out at ainotecopilot.com
I built it for myself, so lmk if there's other features that'd be cool to 🚢 !
Shout out to @adilmajid for jamming on ideas and helping build the foundation that powers this
It's insane that once you rebrand something in B2B SaaS to "AI Agent", everyone wants to buy it
Hearing legit gasps in healthcare when buyers see some AI workflow

this plugin from @adilmajid is 🔥 search all of the notes and learnings I've ever written down
The coolest thing about this for people who like to write is that you've likely already learned or experienced whatever you're about to search - might as well search your own brain

⛵️🔥 If you're serious about starting a business, watch this.
When Hernán Cortés arrived in Mexico, he gave a bold command to his men: burn the boats. No turning back, no retreat—only forward. With no way out, their only choice was to conquer or perish. If you’re ready to fully commit, it’s time to burn your own boat.

I’m still researching — and if anybody with a data background wants to join, please let me know.
I have never been a "social media is bad" person, but high school/college students are literally our future & we're on the brink of a potential global war.
So maybe this matters.
One step closer to launching what we've been working on for a year now: globenewswire.com/news-relea…

A short thread...
Dan Stern retweeted
Y’know those threads promising a magical strategy for cold DMs?
This isn’t one of those — I promise.
Instead, I want to share the insanely silly strategy I used to get a job after college.
It didn’t work, but I did end up with this pitch deck I now get to share for laughs.

Anduril was founded, five years ago today, to transform US & allied military capabilities with advanced technology. But we can’t do it alone. We need a new group of defense technology companies to Reboot the Arsenal of Democracy. Why? (1/9) rebootingthearsenal.com/
