missed your updates - your vision and execution at the start of the AI wave were inspiring

Sometimes second time’s the charm 💪💪💪

Nik was misinterpreted here. He brings examples of pockets of fierce competition. The banks in the US will give him hell and he knows it (he might still prevail). 140 companies and the two fittest survive is that pocket in that batch. I don’t read he meant to generalize that way

Integration with wiz/snyk is cool. Get the threat libraries and real time findings for a more effective coverage

Unless it’s your business model 🙃

It was one of the greats indeed

Why are successful people able to do things they don’t like to do while failures are not? Because successful people have a purpose strong enough to make them form the habit of doing things they don’t like to do in order to accomplish the purpose they want to accomplish.

These are not opposites!

But jokes aside, these things tend to go full circle. Eventually you need to hire people you trust and empower them to make decisions. There is so much more you as a founder can do with AI but eventually you need more progress to be made than you can drive individually

@tobi had a good take on this in his latest interview with @HarryStebbings … ☠️

The transcripts are the real source of truth in your company. Every decision, every discussion, every issue- much more real than a memo or an internal wiki. There is still a need for the correct synthesis to pull the relevant information and not blow up context windows

Congratulations!

But not sure how this might hold if we scaled from 30 to 300

We tripled our team and more or less tripled our speed. We have three core agentic products that evolve as fast as the one we had a year ago..

Each team can act independently and make decisions because of rapid information availability. This mimics an agent spinning multiple agents to solve a problem, allowing for orchestrated action much faster than it would take to plan centrally. Coordination happens once a week

At Synthpop we call it “fractal organization”- we replicate the speed we had as a 3-person ai-native founding team, now that we’re 30 and growing into scale-up mode. Teams ship product daily and coordination is still an overhead, but much lower than I’ve ever experienced before.

100% it doesn’t get easier

Would love to join. Building in Cambridge
