Just when I thought we figured out how to screen out north korean candidates...
The whole point of building Tavus has been simple: talking to a machine should feel as natural as talking to a friend or coworker. Itโ€™s hard to describe all the tiny nuances that make a conversation feel human. The little expressions. Moving around in your chair. Knowing when to speak and when to listen. The dance of it all. Griffin is by far the closest anyone has come to a model that can capture those nuances. The first time I saw it being used, I had no idea I was watching our model rather than just a normal video call. Iโ€™m so incredibly proud of this team and what theyโ€™ve built.

crazy what founders are resorting to in order to get attention nowadays... if you're dishonest it will ALWAYS come back to bite you in the ass... just depends on when

Agreed: we burned weeks in the past rewriting email copy when the real problem was who we were emailing. If the list is wrong, better messaging just gets you ignored faster. And you're flagged for subsequent outreach. The order is: Map the TAM, cut hard, then write.
Hormozi says the list is king in cold outbound. If you have a bad list, you will get no results, and he is completely right, So I just broke down lead lists + everything else in cold outbound and GTM that you need to know: - The boundary - Mapping the full TAM - Qualification and scoring - Enrichment and contact stacking - Segmentation and messaging - Multi channel - Reading the response - Maintaining the map - Etc $70M+ in pipeline and 30,000+ leads from this system. Full breakdown is in the article below:

Opus 5.5 Max is INSANE + leaves Astra in the dust. Here's the prompt I used to one-shot this video: "You're a world-class motion designer building a Supademo launch video. Research and land our core value and narrative. Scenes should be dynamic and confident: hook in the first second, then distinct beats for product proof and AI. Brand-accurate UI, type, color, and motion. Score the music so every cut, animation hit, and scene change lands on a beat or drop; retimed until synced. Social energy, quick cuts"

founder tip from 0โ€“$4M: You may not know it, but the CEO title multiplies every small action. Join a tiny customerโ€™s call, answer a Sunday support ticket, help with the unglamorous workโ€ฆ it barely registers to you, but people remember it for years. You canโ€™t be everywhere, but be deliberate about staying accessible and keeping boots on the group even as you scale It can be the difference between winning and losing

been a while since ive felt this confident about the future of canada
Prime Minister Mark Carney just announced a โ€œproductivity mega deductionโ€ that allows companies to immediately deduct 100 per cent of the cost of new investment across far more assets than previously allowed. It makes a tax measure announced in last yearโ€™s federal budget, the โ€œproductivity super-deduction,โ€ more generous. The new regime roughly cuts Canadaโ€™s marginal effective tax rate on new business investment in half, from 13 per cent to 6.4 per cent. The government says that is the lowest rate of any major advanced economy. ๐Ÿ”— Follow our reporters' live coverage of all-things related to the investment summit on Day 2: theglobeandmail.com/businessโ€ฆ

This. Docs people actually use aren't PDFs. Every PR shipping with an interactive walkthrough is the same bar we want for buyers: don't narrate the product. Let them click through it, at their own pace

Buyer saying theyโ€™d have subscribed if they didnโ€™t have to book a demo. Buyer said it clearly. If someone is ready to buy and the only door is โ€œbook a demo,โ€ youโ€™re filtering out intent. Give them a self-serve path (interactive demo or AI demo agent) and save the call for deals building relationships / situations that actually need a human.
I would have just subscribed to your SAAS if I didn't have to book a demo Why do you do this? Most frustrating thing ever Should give people the option to just get started without needing to book a call

been preaching this for years... lots of founders raising huge rounds without clarity on the type of company they want to build + exit optionality made this mistake with my first co, and its exactly why i've zoned in on capital efficiency from day 1 for my second
A lot of employees at hot AI companies are going to get completely burned on the value of their equity Between insanely high liquidation preferences and inflated valuations, a lot of 7 and 8 figure equity grants are going to end up being worth nothing Stay safe

canada seriously needs to fix incentives for builders to get folks to stay... $1M lifetime capital gains + charging exit tax on illiquid startup shares is plain stupid
Canada shouldnโ€™t just aim to be less dependent on the United States. We should aim to be indispensable to the world. My take in the Financial Post
