My jaw literally dropped today.I had a conversation with the CEO of a startup that just blew me away.
He told me how just two people — himself and his co-founder (yes, they’re both incredibly talented, but still...) — managed to raise a SEED round two months ago. And within a month, they already have a working product in production, partnering with major U.S. suppliers, in a traditional industry that’s heavily regulated and full of complex risk management requirements.
I was stunned by the pace and speed. It’s rare — almost unheard of.
Naturally, I asked how many people they’ve hired to develop such a complex product — risk management systems, POCs, marketing, sales, customer management... it sounded like a serious undertaking.
His answer? Zero. Just agents. AI agents.
And what surprised me even more was his claim that if they had 10 people on the team, they wouldn’t have…

The biggest bank in America acquired a FAKE startup for ₹1,450 Cr just 3 years ago 🤯
This is the story of 28 yo Charlie Javice, the founder of Frank , who pulled off one of the boldest startup frauds in recent history.
And what she did should make every investor rethink how they approach due diligence.
Frank was positioned as a fintech platform helping students navigate financial aid applications. Think of it as the “TurboTax for FAFSA” — simple, fast, student-first.
When J.P. Morgan came knocking, Charlie claimed the platform had over 4.25 million users. In reality, it had less than 300,000.
To bridge the gap, she didn’t just tweak a metric or inflate an MAU graph. She paid a data science professor to fabricate a user database.

I asked 70+ founders about THE ONE book that actually moved the needle in their business. Here are 8 books that came up repeatedly:
1. The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick
This book will save you from building something nobody wants. Rob teaches you how to talk to customers without them lying to you (which they always do). Most founders ask terrible questions and get polite lies instead of brutal truth. This book shows you exactly what to ask and how to ask it.
2. The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz
Ben doesn't sugarcoat anything about running a company. This book is about the decisions that keep CEOs up at night - laying people off, firing friends, pivoting when everything's falling apart. Most business books tell you what to do when things go right. This one prepares you for when everything goes wrong.
3. $100M Offers by Alex Hormozi

🚨 MY EXPERIENCE WITH “FOUNDERS” WHO WANT FUNDING FOR FREE 🚨
Let me be brutally honest — because someone has to say it without filters.
Over the years, I’ve spoken to countless so-called startup founders. And what I’ve realized is shocking, but consistent:
👉 Most of them are not founders they’re fantasizers.
They’re not building.
They’re not executing.

A Dubai brokerage firm SHUT shop overnight taking millions in Indian investor money with it & the reason this keeps happening will piss you off 🚨
Let me explain the course of events.
Gulf First Commercial Brokers looked like a legit operation. Offices in Business Bay, 40 employees, forex investment schemes, big promises.
The catch?
They were funneling money to Sigma-One Capital, an unregulated platform with no license, no verified address, and no legal oversight.
Here’s what they didn’t tell investors:

The top 1% all do this one thing in pitch calls:
They take control of the room.Not with ego. Not with aggression.
With clarity, intent, and pace.
Here’s what it looks like:
→ They open with a sharp one-liner: “We help X do Y 10x faster.”
→ They frame the pitch: “I’ll walk you through problem, solution, traction, then what we need from you.”
That is sickening which makes it hard for Good Companies to raise fund. This happens even in The USA. With all the rules. It is time to bring harsh penalties.
