Poker & Startups

Hola - lost all my money. It was the second hand I was playing since I sat down on the table. This is right before it happens - I am the guy in pink (don't judge, I enjoy it time to time).

Founder mode, am I right?

Maaan I felt alive. Went upstairs, bought my way back in.

Ended up 3rd place after 6 hours of playing poker, last man standing style. You should have seen my last hand. It was glorious how it went down.

Made some good money at the end - nice to increase revenue for Godmode.

If you wanna join for a seat at the table next time, hit me up or respond to this.

I made some hundreds of pounds. On my way home, I remembered the news I read in the morning:

Bridge just sold for US$ 1 Bn to Stripe.

(Give Jabroni Capital a fellow for the awesome memes)

Goddamn

Must be nice.

I knew that the founders had started the company 2-3 years ago. They just made a billion.

I have been at this 2-3 years and been working on Godmode for almost a year now.

Nowhere close to a billion.

Look, I wish all the best to Bridge's founders and the team. Though I envy them. I admit that.

Gotta do better. More. Faster. Now.

Time is flying bro.

That's the game we are playing though.

All you can do is rage. Then sit down over here.

Look around - lose everything else. Rage some more.

Start typing.

So I did.

I was still stuck on designing an interface on this automation that we are developing.

Which brought me back to Figma.

The night before when I fell asleep, I had dreamt about a stack of cards - in form of components. Like kanban boards. Damn I am obsessed - probably not in a good way.

I am just fuming against agents.

Better put: AI agents that everyone claims to have developed.

All the AI I am seeing is a chat interface.

I am trying to get intelligence on 10 companies. Chat is responding:

"I am working on it". Hours pass by. Nothing happens. I am about to break my keyboard.

Is this really an agent? Where is the fast execution? Where is the autonomy? The promises made. I feel cheated.

Where is all the information I need to do my job today? It was supposed to know me - yet sometimes it cannot even remember the name of my company.

I am raging.

So that was it. We made the decision. I called Bertan (my cofounder, you should meet him).

We will focus on developing the agents that truly work autonomously. We will start in sales. The heart of every company.

It can find you the hiring signals you need on companies.

It will do research on them. Every morning, every night.

It will get the files you need extracted and read. It will alert you of opportunities on a regular schedule.

Chat? Sure there will be chat.

It would be the editing mechanism - the feedback or the question about details. However not as the agent itself.

It will be legendary.

Well - what do you think?

If you really hate this and wanna shout at my stupid face, we are sharing some of this vision in our first webinar. Along with all the magic we have built so far.

Disclaimer: I might fuck up so you might get some funny scenes in the webinar because it is live. At any case, it will be good to see you there.

So - what did you get done this week?

Best,

Mert
