~40% of Frec’s customers are engineers working in tech, many of whom expect frequent and large capital gains. They also prefer to self-manage their money, which makes Frec an ideal platform. Meet Evan: an engineering leader who upgraded from investing in ETFs to direct indexing. Direct indexing appealed to Evan because it offers comparable returns to his ETFs while saving him money on advisory and ETF fees. “ETFs are true and tested, and giving folks a different way of investing in the market while saving more money is really appealing.” He’s used many other robo-advisors and other fintech tools, but “Frec seems to maximize tax loss harvesting opportunities better than any other product that I’ve used.” He also likes Frec's transparent fee structure. “I feel like with a lot of other companies, that’s muddled in with the cost of investments,” he told us, “and you don’t really know how much you’re paying or how much you’re not saving as a result. I think Frec does a really good job of laying all of that out and giving you a true understanding of the cost of these investment products.” Read more about his Frec journey here ⬇

Custom GPTs are killing a huge number of startups. And it's not hard to see why. (They don't have any proprietary tech.) If you've checked out ChatGPT recently, you might have noticed the new "Custom GPTs" panel on the left-hand side. It's like an app store for AI models, and it's spelling doom for many startups. -- As my co-founder Jacob Tucker recently pointed out, we're seeing a huge domino effect in the #AIStartup world. When ChatGPT first launched, these wrapper startups looked impressive. They were raising $2-3 million rounds, even though they had no technical moat. They were just low-hanging fruit, capitalizing on the hype around ChatGPT. Now that house of cards is crumbling. -- This is a huge win for deep tech companies that are actually innovating in the AI space. Companies like EmpathixAI, where we're building proprietary AI models from the ground up to solve specific problems, like conducting in-depth interviews at scale with #CultureChat. We're not just slapping a pretty interface on top of someone else's tech. We're doing the hard work of pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI. -- So if you're an investor or a business looking to leverage AI, take this as a cautionary tale. Don't be dazzled by the shiny wrappers. Look for companies with real technical depth, who are building solutions that can't be easily replicated or replaced. Those are the companies that will survive and thrive in the long run. The rest? They'll be washed away by the next wave of AI innovation.

Deploying live data in production? Socket.io is great for dev but tough on serverless. Check out these alternatives: liveblocks.io: Simple, prebuilt components. Firebase/Supabase: Stream directly from DB, but with trade-offs. partykit.io: Lots of control, chaotic for complex state. https://freestyle.sh: My project! Uses regular functions and dependencies, backend-triggered invalidations for real-time updates. Think React Query for live data. #DevOps #Serverless #LiveData #Tech Check it out docs.freestyle.dev!

Earlier this week, I mentioned that we shipped over 30 new endpoints for the Vanta API at the end of June. Another exciting set of improvements centered on controls: adding and removing custom controls, updating control metadata, assigning control owners, adding and removing test or document (evidence) mappings to controls, etc. These building blocks allow you to bring your program into Vanta – keep the work you've already done, gain a high-level view of your security and compliance program, and benefit from continuous control monitoring. Thanks to Bo Y. and Eric Yuan for building these new endpoints!

⌛ The deadline for YC’s S24 batch is April 22! I get a ton of requests for application feedback, so I’ve consolidated my advice here: 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 > 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 + 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 Your idea will change; that’s what it means to be pre-product-market fit. A bet on an early-stage company is a bet on the team to iterate rapidly and figure it out; think of your idea and your progress as useful evidence. Don’t be discouraged if you feel like you haven’t made enough progress, because the amount of progress you’ve made is not nearly as important as how fast you made it. In other words: “slope, not intercept”. 𝐁𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞. 𝐁𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭. Explain your idea clearly in 1-2 sentences: who are your users and what problem do you solve? Avoid jargon, marketing-speak, technical intricacies, or an exhaustive list of features. Tacking on “...with AI” or “...with blockchain” is not any more helpful than “...with computers”. Bad: “We are transforming the global software development industry with a revolutionary AI platform that streamlines the SDLC for tremendous efficiency gains using cutting-edge LLMs.” Better: “We’re a developer tool that automatically reviews code and fixes bugs.” 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬 You should feel like an expert on your users, and have some unique/contrarian insights about them. You’ve hopefully identified a “hair-on-fire” pain they have, and you’re building a product to fix their problem. It’s hard to spend too much time talking to your users. Interviewing 50-100 people seems like a good place to start. If you’ve talked to less than, say, 10-20, it might be hard to know you’re solving a real problem. 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 What’s your path to $1B in revenue? Keep it simple. You don’t need a 5-tier pricing strategy and a multi-year product roadmap, you need to know roughly how many potential customers you have and how much they’re likely to pay (bottom-up analysis), and how big the overall market is (top-down). Reasonable estimates are OK. Remember, the VC model is based on a power law of startup returns, where one huge exit makes up for all other investments going to zero. This makes a tiny chance at becoming a $10B company quite valuable, and a high chance at becoming a $50M company surprisingly useless. 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲? Emphatic yes! YC was an awesome experience for us and every YC alumnus I’ve asked so far - it changed the trajectory of our startup. Even if you don’t get in, we found the application process itself was valuable and forced us to think deeply. If you’d like some eyes on your application, send me a message - I’m happy to help!

Want to invest in startups at the earliest stages? If you wrote a check for $50k, here is the amount of equity you can expect to receive at each valuation cap based on latest SAFE data from Peter Walker at Carta in 2024: Angel, 8M Cap => 0.63% Big Angel, 10M Cap => 0.50% Pre-Seed, 12M Cap => 0.42% Seed, 20M Cap => 0.25% Jumbo Seed, 36M Cap => 0.14% Learn more about how SAFEs and caps work at the YCombinator link in the comments. As always, however, it's not about how much equity you own, but how much it is worth! 😉👍

I’m excited to share what we’ve been working on at my new company, Ropes https://www.ropes.ai Ropes is a new way to screen for great engineering talent. We’re an asynchronous test that mimics a live, onsite interview. Our platform uses AI to: 1. Create coding challenges unique to your business, that test the actual skills you care about 2. Create scorecard results, that search for “deep” abilities (e.g. algorithmic knowledge, debugging skills) vs. simple test cases. 3. Create a dynamic assessment, that gets progressively harder for great candidates, allowing top performers to differentiate themselves. Today, our early adopters are using Ropes to scale their initial screen to an unlimited number of potential hires, and identify top talent among their existing candidate pools. We’re excited about the early progress - and really pumped to open up the platform to you all. To learn more, check out our site, visit our launch today on Product Hunt, or shoot me a DM with any questions/thoughts. And if you know any engineer leaders excited about new ways to find great talent, I’d love to be put in touch!

Earn royalties for automating troubleshooting steps? See an AI Assistant use your steps to respond to alerts and questions? If you can be in San Francisco on Sat June 22nd, sign up for SRE Day and use discount code KYLE20 so we can provision you a dev environment for our workshop. Link in the comments. I'm also taking volunteers for anyone who wants to race Eager Edgar, one of our AI Assistants, troubleshooting popular Kubernetes-based apps... #sre #devops #platformengineering #whatdoirunwhen

"Monetization must be a first-class citizen in your product from Day 1 & if you're not thinking about entitlements early on, you're not setting yourself up for success." -- Justin Gagnon Justin leads growth engineering at Calendly, which means he's built & evolved monetization in the context of both hyper-growth & scale. We sat down last week for a conversation about feature management, monetization, and the services needed to deliver flexible pricing & packaging at scale. Some of the topics we covered: 1️⃣ Why monetization is so complex in B2B SaaS 2️⃣ The role of entitlements 3️⃣ Paying down bad product decisions vs. bad monetization decisions 4️⃣ How Justin & team built monetization infrastructure at Calendly 5️⃣ The tech & commercial debt that comes when monetization is a last-class citizen If you're a product & engineering leader, I highly recommend this episode with Justin. Schematic has learned much from him over the last year and so very excited to share the full episode (link in the comments).

At Carbon Re "We tackle this specific problem [decarbonising cement] because, as far as maximising our impact for each action and each customer, there is no better problem in the world to solve.... While every avenue to decarbonisation is important, reducing emissions right now is the biggest impact any of us can have on the planet." I couldn't have put it better.

Build vs Buy, the great internal debate every developer product has to overcome when selling to companies of all sizes. I had a great chat with Han Wang at Mintlify on how he sees Build vs Buy. Whether its docs, sdks or any part of the developer stack you will always meet great product teams that believe they should build and maintain exactly what your product does in house. Here are some takeaways 👀 ⏹ Its all about control. You're product needs to increase your users ability to ship high quality product. Think deeply about where you should blackbox vs expose controls to the user. ⏹ Quality. Do you think your product reflects the quality at which they could build AND maintain this themselves ? ⏹ Our job as vendors is to grow with companies over time. As your product matures the gap between what you can do vs what can be built in house will quickly diminish. If you're buyer of docs or sdks how do you think about build vs buy ? 👇 Speakeasy #sdks #docs #buildvsbuy

What does a bulgogi taco, a cronut, the upcoming Deadpool movie, and this post have in common? Crossovers. Helpful reminders for both fledgling startup founders and CSMs in discovery mode: 1. What people say and what they do are two different things. The person on the other side might tell you a problem is important, but if they're not putting in the effort, their attention and energy are elsewhere. 2. An impressive title doesn't mean they have buying power or a seat at the table. By extension, the team might not be a priority investment for the company, so they don't receive any support (e.g., no additional "hires" in resources). 3. Don't assume people talk to one another about their challenges and goals. Or that there's alignment around company objectives, goals, and problem statements. Even at the senior level. 4. There's a good chance you'll drown in a data lake if you aren't intentional about filtering out the noise. ----- Hi, I'm Yeji 👋 I'm working on a #customersuccess solution to improve #onboarding, collaboration and success planning. And I'm trying to consistently sneak in thoughts around #productmanagement, #startup, and #productdesign. If you find this helpful, please consider feeding me to your LinkedIn algorithm.

🔮 What's the future of developer platforms? ☠ Or the death knell for open core companies? Get the answers (and more) from Ethan Kurzweil; longtime partner at Bessemer Venture Partners and soon-to-be founder of a new, early stage venture firm. In his time at Bessemer Ethan invested in Launchdarkly, Twilio, PagerDuty, Intercom, Twitch, SendGrid, HashiCorp and npm. He's seen it all, you won't want to miss his takes on what's next and what isn't going to work. I'm sharing our closing lightning round questions here, but the full interview (which is much juicer) can be found at calyx.substack.com. ⚡Lightning round questions!⚡ *What's the developer platform that you respect most?* 🔶 Zapier. It's the ultimate democratizer of development for 4,000 different esoteric use cases and some not so esoteric use cases. And they built it in a way to allow anyone to use it. *Who is a developer GTM leader you respect?* 👨 Adam FitzGerald at HashiCorp. Disclaimer - he’s a Bessemer operating advisor. He is the best thinker to help companies structure developer evangelism programs at scale. *Unpopular opinion re: dev tools?* 💼 That a lot of dev tools shouldn't be businesses. Many should be free or part of a larger developer platform offering. The difference between tool and platform can make a big difference as to whether you have a sustainable business. *How do you feel like you’re able to uniquely work with developer-first companies?* ⚾ I’ll keep it to one for the lightning round: I’ve gotten lots of experience with false signals. If you’re a founder working on a startup sometimes you’ll respond to a false signal and it’s hard to go back and unwind those choices—we have lots of experience with developer platforms and can help founders avoid those pitfalls. Disclaimer: Ethan would never use emojis like this. He actually...doesn't use emojis!? I've just added them in an attempt to improve readability on LinkedIn... enjoy!

One of my favorite interview questions to ask engineering candidates at Amplemarket is: “Where did your love for computing start?” What’s really interesting is that a lot of the time, their first answer is the same: “Nobody’s ever asked me that!” And actually, when someone turned the question back on me recently, I said exactly the same thing. But even though all the engineers who join Amplemarket are technically brilliant, I love that this question digs down to the core of their passion and their creativity. Sometimes they dreamed of building video games like the ones they grew up playing. Sometimes they had a deep love for tech and programming things from scratch. For me, my brother Luis Batalha was a big influence, but I wonder if it also had something to do with our father being a mechanical engineer. We were brought up with a mindset that you can break things down to their constituent parts and figure out how they work. A lot of the best interview questions don’t have right or wrong answers but they give you a real window into a person’s curiosity and creativity. 😀 So I’ll throw it out there - where did your love for your field start? 🤔 And what are your favorite interview questions of this kind?

Had so much fun recording this episode of Jamstack Radio where we got to jam out about local-first software, SolidJS, and other components of our real-time collaborative stack. Brian Douglas is a long-time mentor and friend and one of the most knowledgeable people about new trends and technologies in the industry. https://lnkd.in/etCYRBhG P.S. if you want to get started with open source or get insights into open source projects, you have to check out Brian's company, https://opensauced.pizza. There's nothing that compares.
