I’ve pitched EVORA to 20+ Indian VCs in the last month. A few things that actually get their attention: 1).Warm intro > cold email Most VCs get 30–50 pitches a day on email, WhatsApp, and Telegram. They prefer warm intros. A few still read everything (like @IIMAhmedabad and @allin_adi - ALL IN CAPITAL). I applied on their sites and heard back in a week. 2.) Kill the AI slop: VCs can tell when Claude wrote the deck. They see too many. Write in simple English. Take ideas from AI, but design the pitch yourself. 3.)Don’t assume they know your market: If it’s a new space, educate them. They form their view from your pitch. Use data and story to show it can be a billion-dollar outcome. 4.)Storytelling is the gap : Most of us (me included) underdo this. Founders should lean into it harder. 5.)Early stage = team bet Pre-seed/seed VCs look at pedigree and whether you’re a second-time founder. An exit puts you in a much stronger position to negotiate. 6.)Show, don’t stuff the deck: One line + one visual per slide. Explain the rest live. 7.)Grab attention fast: Be confident. Open with a sharp question or a light joke so they actually stop and listen. 8.)No doesn’t mean never: Send monthly/quarterly updates even if they pass. It builds credibility for the next round. More coming in the thread.

First half of the spiderman bnd felt more like the batman than I want to admit - neglecting personal life - fighting crime relentlessly - have a police chief as a friend - and so many more similarities I'm just glad the second half wasn't like that

Finally we have the spider man, spidey sense is so back

Day 2 of bullposting @base (my fav chain) until @toly decides to visit the biggest dev conf Solana Summit India by @SuperteamIN. (nov 2nd, free tickets, 1000+ attendees)

France government and German army both are using Linux Why are we still stuck on windows?

If raj shamani released a pod with @AlexHormozi tomorrow I'd not be surprised

using safari to record screen record but daily driving it? are you insane or what?

Mental bandwidth is limited, and you cannot fight with it. Rules to keep in mind: 1. Don’t fight. 2. Don’t push. 3. Don’t do everything. The idea is: Try to do 1 or 2 things daily and maximise the weekend. I wake up and spend 1 hour learning, then I’m ready for the office gym. I can hit the gym in the evening, but I cannot study in the evening due to cognitive load. Similar for content. I find gaps: - Lunch time. - Sitting idle. - I’ll just get my iPad out, start architecturing, brainstorming, etc. You need to stop consuming and start creating + reduce your dopamine levels. I usually stare at a wall for 20 minutes when I feel I’m getting distracted and can’t focus on work. Small things + efficiency will do the job.

I'm lowkey much more excited for gpt-5.5 sol much more that i was for fable
