When his kids asked for a phone, Seattle dad Chet Kittleson faced the same question every parent does… How do you give kids freedom without handing them a smartphone too soon? That moment sparked Tin Can, a modern reimagining of the landline. No apps. No internet. Just safe, simple calling with parent-approved contacts and features like Quiet Hours, all for $9.99/month. Tin Can isn’t about rejecting technology. It’s about helping restore balance. A way for kids to feel independent, stay connected, and grow up a little freer of screens.

Elon Musk’s brutally honest email to tesla staff to maximise productivity⇣ → “Excessive meetings are the blight of big companies.” Elon Musk doesn’t mince words, his advice to Tesla employees is blunt and refreshingly practical. → Forget long meetings, useless acronyms, and rigid chains of command. Musk believes the fastest growing companies thrive on clarity, directness, and common sense. → His 6 rules? • Kill large meetings unless they truly add value • Walk out of meetings if you’re not contributing • Speak in plain language, ditch the corporate jargon • Prioritize direct communication over hierarchy • Let teams collaborate freely, without bottlenecks • Break “dumb” rules that don’t make sense on the ground → The goal? Build a company where smart people can just get stuff done, fast. The lesson? a fast moving company isn’t built by adding more layers. It’s built by removing them, along with friction, trusting good people without bureaucracy.

One year ago, the FBI raided his apartment. For many that would’ve been game over. Not for Shayne Coplan [@shaynecoplan]. The founder of Polymarket [@polymarket] just became one of the world’s youngest billionaires at 27. This is the story of how a kid obsessed with trading persevered through, fines, federal bans and an FBI probe.

Blue Origin’s all-female spaceflight, featuring Katy Perry and watched by Oprah Winfrey and Kris Jenner did more than make history… It dominated global headlines across Forbes, BBC, Reuters, and The New York Times. In 2021, Blue Origin disclosed that the highest bid for a seat on its spacecraft reached $28 million. However, pricing varies significantly, with some passengers reportedly flying free as invited guests. To put it in perspective: Jeff Bezos’s 2021 launch reportedly generated over $100M in earned media in a single week. This? It might’ve just outperformed it. A masterclass in media strategy, cultural relevance, and brand positioning at 350,000 feet 🚀 Video: @blueorigin Want @steven to invest in your business? Comment 'PITCH' and we’ll send him your idea 👇

These three Nigerian [@marvy_101] [@davidaladee] [@okii.dan] founders turned job hunting from torture into a game - dubbed the Tinder for jobs Their idea? let AI handle the soul-destroying parts of applying, scraping listings, filling forms, and writing cover letters — while you just swipe yes or no. 500,000 users and 20M+ swipes later, people are landing interviews at giants like OpenAI, Nvidia, Coca-Cola, and Samsung. From chasing investors to securing YC backing, @sorcejobs is quietly challenging LinkedIn’s dominance.

6 years ago, Khaby Lame [@khaby00] was laid off from his factory job. Today, he’s agree an all-stock deal that values his company and related rights up to $975M. In 2020, he started posting silent reactions to ridiculous “life hacks”, palms up, shoulders lifted, and a look that says “You can’t be serious.” He blew up. No translations needed. By 2022, he became TikTok’s most-followed creator. But he didn’t stop at brand deals. He built like a founder, bundling partnerships and licensing under his company Step Distinctive Limited. By 2025, with a following nearing 360M across platforms, his influence attracts Rich Sparkle, a company built to turn creator attention into scalable brands. The wildest part? He’s signed off an AI “digital twin” of himself — a virtual Khaby that can host live shopping streams in multiple languages 24/7. For creators, the lesson is clear... own the company, not just the content. Head to our story to learn more. 📸 Getty / Khaby Lame

For years, financial advisors have preached: “Invest in the S&P 500, and you’ll build wealth over time.” But according to Raoul Pal, that strategy won’t change your life. Here’s why: 📉 The S&P 500 grows at an average of 11% per year—which sounds good, but if you’re starting with $1,000, it’ll take decades to see real returns. 📈 Tech stocks (Nasdaq) average 18% annually—a step up, with faster compounding potential. 🚀 Bitcoin? A staggering 145% average return per year since 2011—even after multiple 80% crashes. The key takeaway? If you want life-changing wealth, you may need to look beyond traditional investments. Higher-risk, high-growth assets like Bitcoin and select tech stocks offer faster compounding potential—but also come with volatility. 👉 So, is the S&P 500 still the safest bet, or is it just too slow?

Elon Musk’s 5-step model for building a successful business👇 1. Make your requirements less dumb. If something upfront is wrong, everything downstream will be too. 2. Delete a part or process. 3. Only then… optimize. Most smart people waste time making broken things faster. 4. Now, accelerate. Once it’s lean and working, increase the speed. 5, Then automate. Don’t automate the mess, fix the system first. Great founders don’t start by adding. They start by subtracting.

When the internet started filling up with AI versions of @jakepaul, people thought they were just AI memes. But there was a method behind the memes… As an investor through @antifund with @geoffreywoo, and an advisor to OpenAI’s Sora team, Jake became the first celebrity to license their image with Sora. Six days later? over 1 billion+ views on his videos across Instagram and TikTok. Jake’s not just a creator, he’s an entrepreneur and savvy investor.

Phoebe Gates’ [@phoebegates] Phia [@phiaco] just raised $35M at a $185M valuation for an AI shopping startup she launched only 10 months ago. Instead of leaning on family money, Phoebe Gates and co-founder Sophia Kianni [@sophiakianni] built Phia from their Stanford dorm, turning hours of searching for the best deals, into a tool that compares prices and resales, like a shopping co-pilot. Since April last year, Phia has passed over 1M+ users, onboarded 6,200+ brands, and is generating millions in monthly sales, as the likes of Notable Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Kleiner Perkins double down.

Most 13-year-olds think about homework and gaming. Malaki Conteh is doing the maths on how much Caribbean food he needs to sell to cover £4,000-a-term school fees. At six, he set up a tiny stall outside his dad’s office to fund singing lessons, so he could join his church choir. Now he runs Malaki’s Food & Drinks in London, a Caribbean food shop that employs his parents. But the business isn’t just about revenue. He sets aside a portion of his earnings for instruments for children who can’t afford them, and for therapy and travel for people struggling with their mental health. And it’s all led back to where it started: the choir. Malaki achieved his dream, becoming the church’s first Black chief chorister in its 1,000-year history. Age may be fixed, but ambition isn’t. 👏 📸 Tony Kershaw / SWNS, & Abdul Conteh Leone

Most people map out their lives in decades. Ten years for a business. Ten years for a dream. The ones who are successful dare to do it quicker. Push for six months instead of ten years. And yes, you might fail… but failure at that speed means landing years ahead of where patience would have left you.

This former ballerina from Brazil just beat Taylor Swift and Lucy Guo, to become the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire. Luana Lopes Lara’s [@luana_lopes_lara] early life? Brutal training, 10-hour days, and teachers holding lit cigarettes under her thigh while she extended one leg to her ear as a test to see how long she could keep that leg up without getting burned. Through it all she learned one rule, use the pain. After starting in Black Swan, she quit, and moved to the U.S. There, she enrolled at MIT and met classmate Tarek Mansour [@tarekmansour_]. Later they built Kalshi [@kalshi], a platform letting anyone trade on predictions. YC backed them. Regulators resisted. But they pushed through. By 2025, Kalshi hit an $11B valuation. Luana’s stake? $1.3B. This is the story of how a ballerina became a billionaire, powered by discipline.

At 15, Nathan Nwachuku survived a schoolyard accident that left him blind in one eye. He promised that if he got a second chance, he’d build something that mattered. That vow led him to Maduka, a teenage prodigy who became a lead engineer for the Nigerian Navy and sold his first drone company at 19. In 2024, the pair launched Terra (@terraindustries.co), billed as Africa’s first African-owned defence tech company, now helping protect more than $11B in critical infrastructure across the continent. With $11.75M in backing led by Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, alongside Valor, Lux, and SV Angel, it seems Nathan and Maduka are delivering on that vow.

Everyone knows Stranger Things. Almost no one knows how close it came to dying. Two movie-obsessed twins, Matt and @rossduffer spent their summers making DIY movies with friends, before chasing their obsession at film school in California. After making a horror film, the pair landed a writing gig on Wayward Pines. Becoming working writers in Hollywood. But the real dream was their own show. Kids on bikes. A missing boy. A secret lab. Monsters from another world. They heard no from 15–20 networks. “Too dark for kids.” “Adults won’t watch.” But they refused to change their vision. Then Netflix read the script, and the rest is history. Stranger Things got its break, and is now estimated to have generated $1B+ in global revenue. All from an idea almost everyone said no to. Send this to someone who needs the reminder that every no gets you closer to the yes. 📸 Getty / Duffer Brothers

It started in a Harvard dorm room, when they noticed talented graduates were struggling to find work, even in an AI boom when companies needed people to train their models. So they built @mercor_ai, a platform connecting skilled workers with AI companies. They dropped out, bet everything, and built a $10B company. What were you doing at 22? 😅

Jeff Bezos’ Final Letter To Amazon Shareholders Before Stepping Down As CEO → In his final letter as CEO, Jeff Bezos warned: “The world wants you to be typical. Don’t let it happen.” → Using a biology metaphor from The Blind Watchmaker, he explained how living things fight against equilibrium, and how the same applies to companies, democracies, and you. → Bezos argued that distinctiveness takes energy, persistence, and a willingness to resist the pull toward average, but it’s the only path to long-term survival and impact. His challenge to every Amazonian, and every founder was simple: “Embrace the work required to stay different.”

In Aug 2024, during an economic address, Trump held up a box of TicTacs, to address inflation. ‘This is Tic Tacs, right?’ he said. ‘I don’t know if I like the company,’ Trump joked. ‘This is the greatest commercial they ever had, he said after pulling out a box of TicTacs, and holding up a teeny, tiny box for comparison. ‘This is inflation. This is Tic Tac,’ he said. ‘This is what’s happened.’
