hey crew,
kicking this off: one email, once a week. signals, weird trends, quotes from smart friends — nothing polished. take what you want, steal the rest.
signals
geo is the new seo. generative engine optimisation. ranking content for crawling bots. rewrite old seo for a new ai-native driven traffic.
Cluely pulled $15M from a16z. profitable. famous for videos showing their ai “cheating” on job interviews, dates, you name it. threw a party for 2,000 people and cops shut it down. new kind of marketing, works anyway.
quote
Startup advice works like compound interest. It’s useless at zero!

btw episode one of the podcast is with henry, coming out soon
what might work
got an idea to embed secret redeemable easter eggs in random issues. you find one, you get a 1:1 call with me.
calls & open loops
got a half-baked idea, experiment, or rant? reply and tell me. best ones might land here next week.
this might work.
