Each blue dot is one organic post. The Performance Score ranks by the median (3.4K), not the mean (3.7K) — so a single viral post doesn't inflate a creator's reach. The p25 floor (3.1K) is the level 75% of posts clear.

Sequoia backed a team that just built the first AI ever to pass the Turing test on a video call. 45% of people in their study thought it was a real person. it watches, listens and talks at the same time. https://t.co/D4YfDXXPabfrozen21d ago6.9K95580201.86%
the best capitalized firms in venture spent the last 2 years staffing media teams. they have the most money in the industry and they're spending it on reach/mindshare. that tells you which one is scarce.frozen11d ago6.3K752131121.63%
the quicker tech companies realize their ENTIRE team needs to be active on social, the better. the founder, the COO, the engineers, marketing. everyone. founders relate to founders. COOs relate to COOs. engineers relate to engineers. relatability is one of the biggest factors in sales/marketing. getting everyone on the timeline puts your company in front of the exact people you sell to.frozen7d ago6.0K1152341353.11%
young founders keep DMing me asking how to launch and crack distribution. these are well funded companies. do VCs not help with ANY of this? every VC has money. very few can help you win mindshare.frozen27d ago5.8K670171141.69%
3 years of AI payment volume on Stripe, US vs EU. if you're building AI in the EU, this chart should scare you. insane. https://t.co/Iq2If2pnxjfrozen28d ago4.9K48213291.51%
I talk to dozens of VC backed tech companies every week. most of them don't have a fucking clue about distribution. scary how many raise $20M + with no idea how social media works in 2026. who's to blame? VCs or just the nature of the industry?frozen5d ago4.8K740162152.22%
attention is the singular asset of the world. Sequoia's founder Don Valentine said money flows as a function of the story. today the story gets told in a launch. every VC, customer and future hire reads the same timeline. one viral moment puts your story in front of all of them.frozen14d ago4.4K847170182.84%
there are 2 goals with a launch: 1) create enough QUALITY noise early so that people start talking about your product on their own. set up a calendar invite for launch day and send it to every investor, advisor, friend and teammate. aim for 50-100 people from your network. every single person in your ecosystem needs to know you're launching. everyone. 2) convert. virality without conversion means NOTHING. anyone can go viral but can you convert? that's why you put money behind marketing. after any launch, ask 2 things: did you build mindshare? did you convert leads? then launch again.frozen20d ago3.9K712152142.64%
the highest leverage skill today is content. writing copy, talking to a camera, figuring out why some posts go viral and most don't. it's the one skill that compounds on top everything else.frozen6d ago3.6K904191203.72%
proud to have worked with @skyfallai on this launch. 51-125x faster and 150-210x cheaper than frontier models on CAD. this team is the REAL deal.2d ago3.1K76123083.43%
ask yourself why is a16z going all in on new media? why do they have 70+ people on marketing, when most firms have 1-2? mindshare AND distribution compound into network effects.frozen10d ago3.1K63210072.67%

move at the speed of culture. big corporations get stuck in stats for 2 weeks, and by the time they're ready the trend's already dead. you have to react within 24 hours and be the first to get your product into a viral moment. boomers cannot move that quick, which is the opportunity.frozen24d ago2.8K67113093.20%
a GTM strategy is the answer to one question: how does this product get in front of customers, repeatedly, at scale? the answer usually starts with where your ICP hangs out.frozen21d ago2.7K560131143.07%
