I finally took some time this weekend to read.

NEW newsletter waitlist due to the EXPLOSION of people interested in GenZtea-- more in-depth studies about Gen Z

Here are some bite-sized best posts ??

CAUGHT MY EYE (quick bites ??)...

• Every startup needs a Head of Doomscrolling- dhruv bindra

• How to build a $1M+ Consumer SaaS App (step-by-step guide)- (I low-key had Joseph Choi sign up for my events lol)- Greg Isenberg

• Across 4+ different niches & accounts, the same type of video always goes viral- @Julia Pintar

• This is the best cold email I've ever received. I booked time- Nicole DeTommaso

NEW PRODUCT

• Rox deploys swarms of AI agents to help the best sellers sell even better. For example, if you want to track if any of your customers or prospective customers are hiring for ML engineers, Rox agents will query the internet and curate exactly which of your customers are hiring and how many they each appear to be hiring. - Konstantine Buhler

NEW UNHINGEd IDEAS

• IG isn't a social app anymore. it's a mall with a newsfeed. massive opportunity for actual friend products. How about a Founder Friends community????

• The state of customer service has never been worse than today (btw opportunity for companies who care)

• y combinator is a content company that occasionally funds startups. who is creating this but for creator economy?

• tons of newsletter subscriber numbers from top creators aren't real. people love to lie-- it would be cool for someone that creates a tool of debunking these people

• Someone should start a studio of cracked devs + GTM team and just look at the YC batch every season for the best ideas and then front-run them. (Sam Hogan)

• There are sooo many products for creating your own course but they are mainly for Millennials, so some should create one for Gen Z & Gen Alpha.

GLOBAL EVENTS

• visiting Stanford and Berkeley later this week- Cory Levy

BEST JOBS YOU HAVEN'T SEEN

• We're looking to hire a chief of staff in NYC for @PathlightVC- Charley Ma

• Looking to work with someone to build out a special @mergedotclub project with @julianweisser and me!- Ari Dutilh

?? Reflective Pause: Humble Leadership

"A wise leader listens more than they speak, learns from all, and leads with a servant's heart." - Proverbs 15:33

In the realm of entrepreneurship, this verse reminds us of the importance of humility and continuous learning. As business leaders, we often face the temptation to always have the answers and to dominate conversations. However, true wisdom lies in recognizing that valuable insights can come from anyone in our organization, regardless of their position.
