As part as of our Due diligence with VCs I will provide my Oura ring sleep data.

In 2026, B2B GTM attribution tools are officially COOKED 🤯 . It's been a good run. But now, it's RIP 🪦 . The dream of custom software for everybody, materializing from imagination to tangibility is actual reality. Buying off the shelf SAAS for tracking my customer acquisition funnel might cost $20 a seat minimum. Two weeks ago, I simply told opus 5.5, to "make me more money". Pointed it at my 3 sources of data (Grafana, simple analytics, and database). Within a day, the software of my dreams was present, and perfect. And it only costed $5 in tokens. Hence the economics of SAAS just don't make since anymore. If I was a SAAS builder today, I would count the LTV of my customers on a 1 time purchase basis, cause even if I offer something unique, my customers could just copy me verbatim with one prompt.

the first startup run entirely by ai agents is going to have a really awkward all hands

Their API is one of the best for cold email lists, specifically for finding decision makers for companies that were scraped from random directories. You can scrape approx 10k company urls for 7$. (1000 searches x 10 results) Since I love scraping what nobody is scraping, I often end up with company names and their website and every enrichment fails, running gpt or claude web searches is costly af so I end up using Exa and/or spider.cloud Basically to find a decision maker, you literally give your agent that manages all your apis, in my case claude code, to use exa and do a google search of "who owns COMPANY name" or "who is the decision maker at COMPANY" In my case i got 78% hit rate which is brilliant considering that it is real cheap. Alternatively you can use gemini api, it works real well because when it performs a google search it can read that first ai answer you get when performing a normal google search and it can pull data from there asap. Gemini get really fucking expensive when you scale it tho.

Today we're launching Dollars 💰 Most AI startups spend so much time and effort building an AI product with negative gross margins. We skipped straight to the end. We sell US dollar bills for $0.80. TAM: $1T+ in circulation. We’re going after all of it. Let’s scale to the moon together. dollars for less dot com

I dressed up at @UpsideGTM data layer at the @ExaAILabs Halloween Party 🤣🤣

You do not need a $50K attribution platform to figure out what drives your revenue. Early in my career, we spent 6 months arguing over 10 different attribution dashboards that nobody trusted. Add a self-reported attribution field on your demo form, listen to 5 customer calls, and read the deal notes in HubSpot. You will learn more in 1 afternoon.

if you put me on a drip campaign i can scratch your car right? both should be just as punishable scratched car or flag you as a target for hackerville somewhere in the Soviet Bloc
