We just made a decision that'll make some people uncomfortable. We're only hiring people who can work in New York. No more remote. No exceptions. Here's why: Had the whole team fly out last week. Everyone was in the same room. We made decisions in minutes that would've taken days over Slack. Someone needs context? Turn around and ask. Blocked on something? Walk over and figure it out together. Remote work is fine. But we're not optimizing for fine. We're optimizing for winning.

Hiring a remote Full Stack Dev; - Full-Time - $120-140k/y - Typescript, React, Node, Next.js - Epic offsites - Crappy work-life balance Know anyone?

Got a cold email so good I had to hire them. Zero compliance experience. Just relocated to New York. Said they'd do whatever and offered a free work trial. Starting this week. At our size, this level of hunger is exactly the kind of energy we're looking for.

We wanted to do something no other startup has ever done. 4,000+ miles later, we finally did it. Do things that don’t scale.

Honestly, this is the most PMF I've ever felt since working for WeWork in 2016. The last few days: - We hired a VA to automate mundane tasks (logistics, booking, coordinating) which freed up tons of time. - An engineering candidate flew in to NYC with less than 24hr notice just to interview IRL. Go getter. We were impressed. Extended full time offer. - Then, we hired a sales guy. Up and running in 2 days, taking calls already. 3 new people within 48 hours. I keep getting Stripe notifications for new deals closing every single day. Meanwhile the platform is on fire. For the first time in a while I feel like "holy" we're not ready, we're just keeping up, the market is pulling us in. This is what it feels like.

First day in our new office. Ready to assemble the best and most hardworking team NYC has seen since Stratton Oakmont. Hiring for these roles: - Full Stack Engineering - Video Editing Must be in person in NYC.

4 months ago I quit my $500k/yr job (yes really) to join my friends on a crazy idea. I only held that job for 3 months. my previous company was running out of cash. my wife was off work with our 4 month old. It felt insane at the time. zero customers. zero revenue. just an idea and this burning feeling that i shouldn't miss out on building during the AI boom. nobody tells you about these moments... (or if they do you just brush it off) in retrospect, the decision feels obvious. OF COURSE you take the leap. OF COURSE you bet on yourself during a generational technology shift. but in the moment? terrifying. your brain does this thing where it lists every rational reason to stay put. the salary. the stability. the crying baby at home. the failed company behind you. but your gut knows something your brain doesn't. my gut told me that sitting on the sidelines during the biggest technological revolution of our lifetime would haunt me forever. that working with friends who get it is worth more than any salary. that sometimes the "crazy" choice is actually the safe one. you need to trust that feeling, even when every spreadsheet says you're wrong. today we have 100+ paying customers. hitting 7 figures ARR. raised $2.6M from top VCs. but more importantly, i wake up excited. i'm building something that matters with people i respect. i'm not wondering "what if."

We changed how we evaluate candidates; Used to look at resumes and ask about past projects. Now we ask: show me right now. During the call: - Engineers build something with AI tools - Marketers create a campaign concept in 15 minutes - Filmmakers walk through their AI workflow We don't care about credentials. We care about velocity. Can you use AI to multiply your output? Can you ship faster than everyone else? Most companies are still asking "tell me about a time when..." We're asking people to do the work live. Show, don't tell

most founders quit after their first failed startup or their second maybe their third but here's what nobody tells you: if you stay in the game for 15-20 years, success becomes almost inevitable each failure sharpens you. each attempt compounds your skills. you learn why things didn't work, you get better at reading markets, better at building, better at everything the founders who win big aren't usually the ones who nail it on attempt #1 they're the ones who kept showing up when everyone else quit your odds don't decrease with each failure—they increase because you're not the same founder you were last time stay in the game long enough and you'll hit

Most writing that comes out of ChatGPT is unusable for marketing teams. On Leap, you can train AI on your brand voice, tone, and context. "Our AI agents sound exactly like our best marketers. We've automated content creation without losing brand authenticity." How it works 🧵

Everyone says “do things that don’t scale.” But almost nobody does. Our CTO literally flew 4000+ miles to Amsterdam to tell Helixer they passed their SOC 2 audit. That’s what it actually means. Not a quote on a slide / just tweeting about it. Walk the talk.

Posted about prioritizing in-person work recently; Didn't expect this to be controversial; I mean we're free to run our company the way we want; But seems like it hit a nerve for some folks; I mean, I get it, if you have a job you dislike, of course you'd rather do remote and minimize exposure. But every single greatest invention in human history was done by getting the brightest minds in a room, building relationships/community and doing their best work togehter. Nothing controversial about that; We're trying to build autonomous cybersecurity at Comp. Pretty exciting project, and want to bring in people who are committed to the mission. Comfort is secondary;
