This is sick.
Not only can Claude write your job posts, but it can now find candidates for it too.
🤯
🤝 Paid partnership
since starting unfair, i've hired 4 ppl
(not counting 8 @bot agents i've set up)
now hiring an account manager, and using Treg to find candidates
literally spending cents
Mannnn I’m still a rookie compared to these guys
Shoutout @kyanbuilds, @Cedric_Roberge, and @MaxTalksTech_
These guys are all doing $100K+ a MONTH.
Straight fucking killers.
I got really lucky.
I’d still be cold calling doctor’s offices every single day pretending my app never even existed (and deleting all social proof I ever even launched it) had I not met Alejo Orvananos.
@Alejorva4 reached out to me on Instagram (with like 200 followers) saying I had stolen his company name (also Maxed).
After a few messages back and forth, he offered to jump on a call with me to “offer advice.”
Candidly, I thought he was either a) full of shit (and didn’t know anything, or b) going to ask for money or equity.
For the next 3 months, Alejo and I spoke every single night at 7pm. He brought me influencers, taught me UGC, and pretty much rebuilt my app with me.
He is the reason that Maxed AI has any success.
Alejo has never asked for an ounce of equity, a dollar, or even a favor.
Forever grateful for this man 🙏🙏🙏
People really forget about prime @willbakerships
Dude was wiping his ass with $100s
Partnerships with Higgsfield AND Superwall
Legend in the space. True LazyMaxxer.
Still killing it
"Am I too late to start making an app"
NO. Not at all.
Now is the PERFECT time. You can have your MVP shipped on Testflight in 6 hours.
Live on App Store in 2 weeks.
Paying customers in 3 weeks.
Just use Claude Code, Supabase, Vercel (if needed), RevenueCat, Sideshift, and Meta Ads.
That's it!
Then you'll start phone farming, A/B testing paywalls, optimizing pricing, creating an in-house UGC team, and more.
The time is RIPE
No consumer is ever using a web app
If you’re building for B2B, that’s fine
But I’ve never gone to safari and paid for a web app subscription (if it’s not related to my apps, which would make it B2B)
Just had an all-time terrible coffee chat performance:
> woke up and forgot we were supposed to meet
> pushed back 30 mins
> pushed back another 15 mins
> showed up 9 mins late
> took a 30 min bathroom break
And @freddyfvng still waited for me! What a guy
Looking for mobile app founders that are scrappy, obsessed with their work, and often feel overlooked to raise money with MetaDao.
My DMs are open and I’m officially reading applications.
We've helped 26 companies raise $46,000,000 in the past year at @MetaDAOProject.
Here are a a few takeaways for the founders out there from the past ~6 months of leading investing at MetaDAO:
You need one of three things in order to get investors interest: something net-new (0-1), a distribution moat, or a 100x improvement vs your incumbents, you need to go back to the drawing board because it is unlikely you will raise a round
Founders say too many words on calls. That lessens your power. Your language should be concise about what you're doing, why you're doing it, and a compelling reason as to why you're going to win.
If you're raising to figure out distribution, show me what you've already tried. I need to see that you're learning and iterating FAST. You don't need a fully solved growth engine, but it's hard to get comfortable funding a large marketing budget when you haven't run a small acquisition experiment.
Don't undersell traction because the number is small. 10 people choosing to use an early product is great!! I want to know who they are, what they're doing, and whether they're coming back. Help me understand why they care
If you don’t have any users right now, you’re not allowed to complain until you try in-person sales.
Back when things were grim, I used to show up to different gyms and pitch 10+ people my app each time.
It’s one thing to say you want it, it’s another thing to actually go get it.
I’m seeing a MAJOR opportunity to build a marketplace for paid partnerships on X right now.
A ton are being built right now and seem to be printing cash.
B2B companies realize X is the best monetization stream and are pouring cash on X to get paid partnerships.
Who’s building the Sideshift for X influencer marketing?
