If you want to build a next-generation AI-first supply chain, let's jam!
🚀🚀🚀
Prediction: In less than two years, every piece of content - text, audio, or video will have to clarify if it's AIG (AI-Generated) or non-AIG.
Simple mental model to assess startups.
A startup journey is like playing Snake & Ladders.
For every stakeholder
- The ups and downs are guaranteed
- The startup will have wild swings in position (especially in the early days)
[1/3]
#startups
For Candidates:
- Ask the founder about their snakes and ladders
- Pick startups with long ladders and short snakes
- Run away from startups that do not acknowledge the snakes
For the #Wordle fans out there, the best Initial Guesses are Salet, Reast, Trace, Crate and Slate - mathematically proven!
Great work by @dbertsim and his colleague, Alex Paskov.

ALT The best 5 Wordle Initial Guess
When a talented and hyper focused team is struggling through something, they are innovating. The pain is part of the journey .
Startup life is not for everyone.
Talent that is not cut out for it (uncertainty, delayed gratification, lifestyle, something else) *will not* work out.
Just a fact.
Save everyone some heartache and don't force-fit.
Do yourself a favor and spend 60 minutes watching this great documentary.
You will learn a lot about the modern #supplychain crisis.
Great work @mims!

Demo days are one of the highs of startup life.
The team putting the future together - one puzzle piece at a time!
How to spot leadership talent in a business:
1. Folks who talk about a promised land - 2/10
2. Folks who are able to sell you on the promised land - 5/10
3. Folks who bring you to the promised land - 10/10
Cherish folks in group #3... You might not have them for long!
Compensation in startups// is this accurate?
0-1 Startup
1. 70-80% of full market salary
2. Life changing equity if company wins
1-10 Startup
1. Full market salary
2. 3-4x of standard bonus in equity if company wins
Enterprise:
1. Full market salary
2. Standard bonus
If you are in the supply chain industry, you owe it to @typesfast to upgrade the overall brand of the industry!
He has done more to make "supply chain" part of the American lingo than any other single person or company.
Nice interview @garrytan

Even folks in the industry think
Supply chain = Logistics
It is not 🚫🚫🚫
Logistics is only one part of the story
Supply Chain = Sourcing + Manufacturing + Logistics + Service + Returns + Sustainability
If you are not holistic, you are not optimal.
The hidden reason for the state of our supply chain.
Bad Supply chain software
- bad Logic & UX (AI is weak)
- okay Marketing
- great Sales (h/t to folks selling supply chain software)
Huge opportunity for the best minds.
