Introducing Stanley: The first AI Head of Content that will help you grow your following. Stanley works just like a real employee: text him and he’ll create, edit, and strategize viral content across X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Making viral content is hard. It requires deep research, deep platform understanding, and knowing what’s culturally relevant at that exact minute. When you ask ChatGPT to “write a social post” it doesn’t know what good content looks like, it’s not actively consuming content, and it doesn’t understand you. This is why the output is slop. Stanley solves this. First Stanley deeply understands your unique voice and writing style (and doesn’t include AI language like em dashes and “it’s not x it’s y”) Then he plugs into your day-to-day (your Slack, Notion, Calendar, Granola) and proactively suggests viral posts for you based off the most interesting things happening in your life. All you need to do is voice note him your thoughts, and Stanley optimizes and then schedules a post across all platforms. Example: Last week I asked ChatGPT "what happened on X" and got a generic summary. I asked Stanley the same thing and he told me about @JensenHuang's first post on X and the viral Deny’s comment. That’s because Stanley has a team of specialized agents that are always on. One agent researches viral posts through the X API. One studies your voice. One doom scrolls X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. 2 months ago we released Stanley in beta to 100 social media power users like @chasepassiveincome, @jayyanginspires, @MitcheIl, and @iampascio who’ve used Stanley in their daily content process. Engagement rates increased by >50% for the average beta tester. (in fact you’ve probably engaged w/ Stanley posts without realizing) Posting content has genuinely changed my life for the better: it’s helped me raise millions of $, landed me my first customers, and attracted the very best employees. Stan wouldn’t be a $40M ARR business without Content. Stanley is our attempt at democratizing that. Our mission is to help any Entrepreneur tell their story, so we'd love for you to try Stanley for free here: http://getstanley.ai/ One more thing.. You can see a glimpse of Stanley’s power in the comments below. Drop a reply and Stanley will analyze your X content right now. It'll pull your posts, study your voice, and tell you what's working and what's not. Each reply costs us abt ~$1 in tokens. Go abuse it. (Thank you VC’s.) FYI: This post and launch video were written 100% w/ the help of Stanley (how’d he do?) See Stanley work below 👇

We're bringing 100 Founders into the woods for 14 days to compete for millions of $. Our goal is simple: get as many of these Founders from $0 to Revenue in just 14 days. But there's a twist: We're making it a reality show - teams will compete Squid Games x Shark Tank style for an oppty to pitch Tier 1 VCs for millions of $ at the end. We'll teach them our entire playbook we used to Build in Public to $40M ARR. And we're bringing top Entrepreneurs like GaryVee, Daymond John, Sophia Amoruso and Zach Yadegari to mentor everyone. We're here to prove one thing: Anyone, anywhere can change their life and make millions if they just have the hustle. And we're here to help them. Let's go have some fun 😈 Hope you tune in!

I'm going to say something that everyone else in Silicon Valley is too scared to say: YC is a giant ripoff. It's absurd to me that naive Founders give away 7% of their company for just $125k in this day and age. It's a super boomer offering: - apply, wait, hope you get in - thrown into a 300 person cohort where you are one tiny cog in their mass portfolio bet - 3 months of 'education' that you can now get completely for free online - A few minutes at the end to hope a VC picks you amidst the cattle room Was YC worth it 10 years ago when knowledge wasn't freely available and you couldn't build distribution for yourself via the internet? Yes. Is it worth SEVEN percent of your company in today's age when you can go from $0 to $1M in weeks with just content and AI? No.

We just bought the domain http://stan.com/ for $750,000 😳 When I first started Stan, I was so broke that the best domain I could afford was http://stanwith.me/ 🫠 Eventually we got http://stan.store/ and that was a huge win. http://stan.com/ tried to charge us hundreds of thousands of dollar. But we were a tiny company barely making $500k. I still remember thinking, "lol I will never pay that for a domain". So there's something really special about this moment. The most special part though is that Alyssa Williams, our first ever business hire, got the deal done. Alyssa's been with us in the trenches since day one, back before we had anything. It's a beautiful full circle moment for all of us. It might sound silly, but I'm realizing buying http://stan.com/ is a beautiful symbol of grinding for years, and then seeing the fruits of your labor manifest into the real world. So this is your reminder that you can start with a shitty domain like http://stanwith.me/, no money, and tons of people doubting you. And one day - you can have an incredible team, incredible mission, and a 4 letter .com domain ;) Onwards and upwards Stan team!

Stan just hit $40M ARR. I grew up with nothing - and started with $0 in my dorm room. I failed through multiple ideas before I found Stan. But through Stan, we got really good at building distribution + a product that genuinely helps people. Here's exactly how we did it: 1) Built in Public ($0 > $100K) You need to recognize that if no one knows your business exists, they will never buy from you. I posted dozens of cringey TikToks about my company building journey. Most people won't get through that level of cringe. But you will, because you recognize that if you don't put a stake in the ground for your business, no one will. I posted 3 times per week: - My wins - My ups and downs - My learnings This taught me a ton about: - What people found interesting about my company - How to talk about my product in a way that resonated - How to persist through embarrassment 2) Sending 10,000 Cold DMs In parallel, I sent 10,000+ Cold DMs to land our first 100 customers. Most people won't do this level of unsexy, manual work. Every night, I would follow back anyone that looked like a potential customer and try to get them on a call. On the call, I would do everything I could to help them, and see if they were a good fit for Stan. I'd do 10+ hours of back-to-back calls, and then post TikToks until I passed out. I would get rejected on 4 out of every 5 calls. Then I'd finally land one. Then, they'd backtrack. Or something else would go wrong. But eventually - through sheer willpower - you land your first 100 customers. 3) Do Everything for your First 100 ($100K > $1M) We did everything we could to help our first 100 customers become wildly successful. I would personally: - Make their first product to sell - Consult them on how to make more money - Draft them content ideas to help them go viral That level of client-service slog was insane. But it ended up being so worth it. As a result, we made multiple people in our first 100 customers millionaires. 4) Building the Flywheel ($1M > $10M) And what do people who you made a million dollars do for you? They shout your name from the rooftops. Every successful customer of ours became our best distribution channel. Your job is to build a flywheel for your business: For us, we built a "success story" flywheel. For every new customer, our job was to make them as successful as possible. Those customers would then shout us from the rooftops. Then, we added a marketing team / engine on top that amplified those success stories via: - Paid ads - Email campaigns - Documentaries - PR Our Flywheel: New Customers >>> New Success Stories >>> Amplify those Success Stories >>> More New Customers 5) Compounding that Sh** ($10M > $40M) From here, your job is to build a compounding competitive advantage. That way, for every turn of the flywheel, you get to play a higher level game. A year ago, I raised the largest Creator round ever done: - The Hormozi's invested - Steven Bartlett invested - GaryVee invested I did this because at the time, Distribution was our top bottleneck (and one of the few things that matter in the age of AI). Your job at this level is to constantly ask yourself: "What is the top bottleneck in my business?" Then evolve your time, identity, and skillset to get that job done. Eventually, that bottleneck becomes things like: hiring, culture, strategy, new bets, org structure, or operating efficiency. What I've learned is: whatever the topic, you will eventually figure it out if you just stack days and have a growth mindset. 6) My Final Lessons Learned This journey will kick your a**. It will constantly humble you. It will make you doubt yourself in ways you didn’t think possible.  But the person you will become will be so worth it. So just persist, have a growth mindset, and you will succeed. You've got this. (and btw - follow me if you want more free advice like this!! I'm going to be posting here a lot more)

WE BOUGHT THE BUTT @marclou

If you're a founder who has great vision but you suck at getting your company to hit goals, read Traction by Gino Wickman. 3 things from this book I use constantly to run Stan (50+ employees, $40M ARR): → Run a Weekly Business Review: set 5-10 key metrics for your team in a scorecard. Numbers that tell you if the business is healthy (like churn, revenue growth, conversion rates, etc) Then have a weekly 60 minute meeting with your team to go through them. Your job is to check which metrics are red or green and then unblock the things that are red. We used to have meandering 2-hour meetings that solved nothing. Now it's 60 minutes sharp. With a clear picture of what's going right and wrong. → Build an Accountability Chart, not an Org Chart: the problem with org charts is that they tell you little about how to solve your problems. Instead, overlay who is accountable for what metric on top of your org chart. So who is accountable for Revenue Growth vs. Churn vs. Conversion Rate. This lets you go straight to the source when something breaks. You know exactly who to go to to fix something. → Cascade Down Goals: I've found the best way to set goals is to go tops-down to bottoms-up. As in, set your company-wide goals every 90 days. Then, have those trickle down through your org so that every single person has goals with their daily work that trickles back up to one of those priorities. Before this, people at Stan were working hard on things that didn't matter. Now an engineer knows exactly why their work matters and what goal it bubbles up to. Hoping any of this helps you in your journey! Also!! LMK if you've found any other great books to read! I'm hungry for more

All of the problems you have as an Early Stage Founder: - Not enough customers - No one will give you a chance - No one pays attention to you - No one knows you exist - Investors are super hard to convince Can in large part be solved by: Building in Public. BiP forces you to get significantly better at telling your story and learn what resonates. And the social media algorithms will connect you with people who believe in you and what you're doing. This is why we're putting on Launchpad next week: Specifically to teach 100 Founders how to do this, and to prove to the world that this is the new playbook to go from 0-to-1. I'm excited for you to watch all of the content that will come out of Launchpad, as there will be immense value, and it'll also be a ton of fun. Watch us cook, and see if we can truly deliver on our promise of helping these Founders crush it.

This is my recommended book list for any new Founder: Scaling to >$10M: - Get Scalable by Ryan Deiss - Traction by Gino Wickman - Scaling People by Claire Hughes Johnson - High Growth Handbook by Elad Gil Product: - Hooked by Nir Eyal Sales: - Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara Classics: - Zero to One by Peter Thiel - Lean Startup by Eric Ries - Navalmanack Podcasts: - Founders by David Senra - Acquired by Ben Gilbert & David Rosenthal - 20VC by Harry Stebbings This list is intentionally small. You don't need much more than this. Let your curiosity + hunger carry you into more (Founder biographies, deeper tactical books, etc)...

If you're a founder who's great at building product but terrible at managing people, read Scaling People by Claire Hughes Johnson. 3 things from this book I use constantly to manage my team of 50+: → Writing a "working with me" doc: this is a doc about everything you care about - your values, what you expect from people, how to work w/ you etc; it sets up new hires to know exactly what they should expect from you from day 1 → Running structured 1:1s with a shared doc: this makes your meetings way more efficient >>> from "vibing" to "what is our job / goal here?" so you can run through walls together → Building hiring rubrics BEFORE you open a role: this gets you very clear on hiring the right candidate, and you defining success beforehand = higher likelihood the candidate works out Hoping any of this helps you guys so you're not as much of a bumbling idiot as I was going from Employee 10 to 30.

It's very strange watching the frenzy occurring in Silicon Valley right now. Everyone's caught in a vicious cycle of hyperproductivity: you see someone else working 996 and talking about how hard they're working. So then you need to too. You see someone else raise a monster round and talk about "how successful they are". So then you feel the need to too. It's a mix of megalomania and fear. 90% of people are burned out, recognizing that they're working at an unsustainable rate. But capitalism waits for no one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ One day we'll all wake up and realize that things we actually wanted... We could have had for free all along: Being Human. Family. Being in Nature. Community. It'll all just be financialized by then... with a data center built on top 🫠

Hi Twitter!! I need your help. I want to help one Founder raise millions of $ while helping them build in public. We'll document the whole journey - the wins, the struggles, all of it. I've built Stan to $40M in revenue and raised millions thanks to building in public myself. If you know any Founders in NYC looking for this level of help… please have them apply here! Someone who: → Is serious about their success → Has strong fundamentals (solid business, early traction) → Is eager to get after it Would LOVE to make this happen. Apply here (or send to a Founder you know): https://forms.gle/G4sE12oKYxZMYkoPA

I have a firm belief that if you want to start something, it takes: - 2 years to start seeing any real payoff - 5 years to feel like you're getting good at it - 10 years to build a generational run that truly starts to compound Most people will never get to that level of commitment and consistency. Don't be one of them. Pick a game that you actually want to play for that long. Then double down and crush it.

After scaling Cal AI to $50M ARR and selling it at 19, Zach Yadegari is speaking at Launchpad!! At 16, he sold his first company, a website he built, for nearly $100,000. At 17, he co-founded Cal AI, and scaled it to $50M+ ARR and 15M+ downloads in about 18 months, fully bootstrapped. At 19, he sold it to MyFitnessPal, the incumbent it was going head-to-head with in the App Store. Zach is an absolute prodigy. What he pulled off is one of the most insane distribution masterclasses in consumer tech history. While legacy companies were burning millions on campaigns, Zach was DMing creators, testing hundreds of viral hooks, and built an organic engine that took over social media. Now he's building his next company, Persona, into a billion-dollar outcome. We're bringing in top Entrepreneurs like Zach to Launchpad to teach 30 early-stage teams how to actually crack distribution, go from $0 to $100K in 14 days, and land tier 1 investors. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. See y'all at Launchpad! (Application in the comments.)

My guarantee to any Founder out there - In 14 Days we can get you from 0 to Revenue, and teach you how to build Distribution for yourself via building in public, completely for free (not 7% of your company). We're throwing a camp for 100 Founders Oct 4-18 called Launchpad: The entire camp is paid for (it's beautiful). We're bringing a ton of famous Entrepreneurs to come mentor you (GaryVee, Daymond John, Sophia Amoruso, Zach Yadegari, etc). We're filming + televising the entire thing, Squid Games x Shark Tank style (I just hired a production team from MrBeast). Which means you'll get millions of views in distribution just by participating. And at the end you'll have the chance to pitch Tier 1 VCs for millions of $. We are doing this to prove that there is a new Playbook to be cemented of how to go from $0 to $1M via building in public. We did it ourselves to go from $0 to $40M ARR. Now we're teaching everyone else. Apply here: https://launchpad.stan.store/ And for any YC Founders - I guarantee if you come for these 14 days, you will get more value than whatever you would be doing at YC during those days. Hope to see you there.

I have 30 days to save my $40M company. Today is Day 0: Over the last few months, we launched Stanley, an AI agent that grows your following. We've grown him from $0 to $3M ARR. But that's nowhere near enough to save my existing $40M SaaS business. The only way we can save our business is if we evolve Stanley to be 10x better than he currently is. Right now, he's getting our users 50% better engagement. But my cofounder @vitaliidodonov and I know he can be MUCH better. Over the next 30 days, Vitalii and I are going to try to birth the world's first ever “AI Head of Content”. A top employee who proactively: - tees up content for you - maximizes your performance across ALL platforms (LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Instagram) - Edits your videos 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢 He’ll handle the FULL cycle of content creation - from ideation all the way to posting. A million-dollar content team in your pocket. If we make this happen, Stan becomes a billion dollar company. If we don't, we'll likely go under. I'll be documenting every day of the next 30 days, where we'll have to figure out: 1) what features to put into Stanley 2.0 2) whether he's up to snuff (can he impress the top Creator-Entrepreneurs on earth?) 3) how to launch Stanley, and hopefully drive millions in revenue I feel daunted. But I know we’ll figure it out. See you tomorrow for Day 1. LFG.
