When I was employed, Sunday blues used to crush me. Now, every Sunday night feel like Christmas Eve. Here's how I flipped the script (as an Entrepreneur) (🧵 1/8)

Guys, Any recommendation for a portable monitor for my Macbook? I've seen stuff like these in coffees

Today, I learnt a startup lesson thanks to @dxmirba

Very specific request: Presti is seeking office space in Paris with 10+ seats. Preferably a startup with extra space to sublet. If you have any leads or suggestions, please get in touch!

Please help! I want to automate a lead qualification process. I have a list of emails, I'd like the GPT to browse each domain name and be able to tell me if it's a furniture company or not. OpenAI API isn't able to browse a website. What do you advise?

Happy 2025 to all the builders 🎉 You’re the ones driving the world forward, year after year.

Do you think I should change my current banner with this one? Made with ❤️ by @dxmirba

The 3 main YC learnings that I keep repeating to myself everyday (they’re basic but powerful): 1/ You improve what you focus on 2/ The more work you put, the more result you get 3/ Speed of execution is a moat

It’s so hard to continue posting and engaging on Bluesky these days What’s your strategy?

There are 2 paths in life: - (1) Earn -> Save -> Invest -> Retire - (2) Build -> Scale -> Sell The best outcome for (1) is to retire at 65 yo. The best outcome for (2) it to retire 5 years from now. Which one do you choose?

I’m so back 🔥

It’s Sunday. It’s the bonus day where dreams become reality. What are you working on today?

Show me something more Parisian than this video I just took 🤩

Redefining customer habits. @perplexity_ai @AravSrinivas

how to make 150K impressions on Twitter nowadays

Is there a better feeling? Pushed some buggy code to prod. 🐞 INSTANTLY got 2 live chat messages from customers. Adrenaline kicked in to fix it, of course. But it reminded me—people CARE about what we’re building @presti_ai. And honestly, is there anything better than that?

Me in 2021 (as an employee): - Sunday Blues - Constantly complaining - Stuck with people I didn’t choose - Stressed and anxious Me in 2024 (as an entrepreneur): - Sunday Excitement - Always optimistic - Working with friends I admire - Motivated and focused Do it.

When people churn but it's ok ❤️ (make it an infinite thread)

The power of niching down: 1. It's easier to find exactly where your customers are 2. You show up where your generic competitors wouldn’t dare to look My co-founder @bennis_ham is at the Furniture Today leadership conference, in Naples, FL. (kinda old school vibes I admit 🤣)
