Market is ripping. Trend is set. Let me write a few things about @_kaitoai In less than 2 months, we grew our ARR by 6x based on word of mouth (we’re forever grateful). Live only since Q4, we’ve now amassed the largest revenue for any AI companies in crypto as far as we know (internally we have a friendly competition/benchmark vs @akashnet). Anyone who trialled Kaito knows that Kaito is NOT just another AI x crypto ghost app with no real use cases. But I also want to say a few words about the direction we’re headed and our value proposition - Kaito is NOT an alpha platform. Kaito is an AI that revolutionizes your workflow, changes how you think about this market, and provides you with the tool you need to drastically improve your decision making. If you aren’t using Kaito yet, you are either flying blind in many ways or at a significant disadvantage. For traders and researchers, this means - Taking 2 hours to find something that others take 2min on Kaito - Constantly missing catalysts and important updates - Flying blind on market colour on why your coin pumps by 20% - Using your feelings and relying on Twitter’s echo chamber rather than hard cold metrics to assess social hype and sentiment - Struggling to keep up with your favourite podcasts / Twitter Space updates, while others have everything in transcripts, indexed and searchable - All of these result in making not just slower but suboptimal trading decisions which cost a fortune For project teams, this means - Lack of clear KPIs in evaluating marketing effectiveness and mindshare (number of Twitter followers and likes are increasingly low quality) - Lack of crucial insights and clear pathway to improving your mindshare (which markets are you under-represented in, why project xyz has a higher mindshare than you currently and how you can close it) - Flying blind on major narrative shifts and how narratives get propagated in the market - Lack of quantifiable and unbiased assessment on which KOLs to work with (rather than just checking how many of the folks you follow follow them…) - Having no idea on market sentiment on your project and how it changes over time - Having no idea on where and how you are being featured (who’s talking about you on podcast/inner-circle Crypto Twitter) - All of these result in suboptimal marketing decisions and at times even costly strategic/product missteps (betting on the wrong theme/wasting crucial engineering resources), all at the risk of missing the cycle. Outside of these, if you are a VC, a market maker, an exchange, an infra company, chances are - we are probably also building something that will revolutionize the way you do business in this market. Kaito is a new animal this cycle. Don’t fade new animals in crypto.

“If you only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.” Montesquieu said this 300 years ago. We’re still working on this one.

"If you can't figure out what kind of work you like, pay attention to what's easy to concentrate on and gives you energy vs. what makes you tune out and feel tired" sounds obvious but remains some of the best advice I ever got.

'21 was a great year for biotech advances. Of course, mRNA was the year's star thanks to COVID. However, there were 5 other biotech advances that were ridiculously exciting, too. A thread:

Why does Red Bull own an F1 team? Because the company — which sells $7B+ of energy drinks a year — is a pure marketing firm (outsources all production). Its invested $2B+ into F1 but has gained multiples of that for the brand by "manufacturing history". Here’s a breakdown🧵
