The future of marketing is buying creators/media properties
TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI!
The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday.
This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show.
Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.

Look at these numbers you’ll understand the beauty of premium b2b media brands
Only thing that’s missing is the EBITDA number which is really what drives valuations
But you can see why premium b2b assets are always in demand
I asked ChatGPT to come up with estimates & compare strategies of three of *the* most premium business media/info companies: @theinformation, @BoF & of course @Skift. Fascinatingly, all in similar topline range if this is accurate-ish, with three contrasting ways to get there.

Big time @businessbarista. Everyone should check out Distro.
Pumped to announce Distro, the first AI content strategist.
Distro solves a problem I’ve personally watched thousands of founders & execs go through.
Creating content & building an audience has a ton of obvious benefits:
- Free customers
- Constant hiring pipeline
- Access to dope people
- User feedback
But it takes a lot of time & content skills, which most people don’t have.
Distro makes this 10x easier, turning natural conversation into content in minutes.
Here’s how it works:
1. Start a studio session
2 Tell Distro what you want to chat about
3. Distro develops an interview plan & has a conversation with you
4. Conversation is turned into summary, key quotes, and several post drafts
5. You can edit posts, connect your social accounts, and fire off content right from Distro
Now, creating content can be a quick, daily habit that you look forward to vs. a pain in the ass you've come to dread.
Huge shoutout to @devsharma_8 for building a kickass agent.
Try out Distro for free below…
P.S. use us on web for the best experience. a ton of upgrades coming soon (including improved mobile UX).

Please don't quit your job and "go all in".
Much easier to work long days and nights, until you're sure your plan works and starts to make money.

Semrush acquiring Search Engine Land is yet another example of SaaS companies buying media companies
Stripe, Hubspot, JP Morgan, Robinhood are all running this playbook as well
Why?
High LTV products + lower CAC
