What Smart
Founders Learn
From Anthropic
Masterclass
|
|
What separates AI product
builders
from AI founders? Anthropic’s new
masterclass just
answered that
question — and
it’s quietly
redefining how
startups build for
the agent
era.
|
|
Instead of
designing APIs for
humans, Anthropic
shows how to
design tools for AI
agents
that think, act, and
improve
on their
own.
|
|
This isn’t about
writing smarter
prompts — it’s
about engineering
collaboration
between humans
and agents.

5 Takeaways Every
Founder Should
Know
|
-
Design
for
Autonomy,
Not
Repetition Agents
don’t need
step-by-step
instructions
— they need
tools that
enable
reasoning
and
adaptability.
-
Prototype
Fast,
Evaluate
Constantly Anthropic’s
framework
uses real-world
task
evaluations
to measure
how
effectively
agents use
each
tool.
-
Collaborate
With the
Agent Claude can
now help
analyze
transcripts,
suggest
refinements,
and
co-improve
your tools
in real
time.
-
Name and
Describe
Tools
Intelligently Ambiguous
tool names
confuse
agents;
clear naming
and output
formatting
increase
success
rates
dramatically.
-
Think
“Ecosystem,”
Not
“Endpoint” The best
products
won’t just
serve users
— they’ll
empower agents
to build
value
autonomously
inside your
startup
stack.
|
|
Founders who
understand how to
build for agents —
not just humans —
will own the next
decade of AI
innovation.
|
|
Those who don’t
will end up
integrating tools
their competitors
built.

The
No-Warm-Intro-Required
Investor List
|
|
|
|
Let’s face it —
not every founder
has connections. Not every founder
went to Stanford. And not every
investor needs a warm intro.
|
|
That’s exactly
why this list
exists — a
goldmine of 1,000+
investors
who’ve actually funded
founders
through cold
outreach.
|
|
No gatekeepers.
No gatekeeping
emails. Just investors
who care about traction,
story, and
execution
more than status.
|
|
Here’s what’s
inside

✅ 1,000+

— including

|
But here’s the
key — this isn’t
just a
spreadsheet. It’s a playbook
for founders who
want to pitch
smarter,
personalize
better, and build
relationships that
last.

Elon Musk is
already changing
how we drive,
power, and
live.
Now he’s hinted
at something
bigger: A fully
integrated Tesla
Smart Home—with
ultra-efficient
HVAC systems,
solar,
batteries, and
automation.
This isn’t a
dream
anymore.
Tesla-backed
homes are
already rolling
out in Palo
Alto.
The smart home
race has
officially
begun.
And it’s not
just about cars
or energy—
It’s about how
every device in
your home talks,
moves, and
adapts.
That’s where
RYSE comes
in.
Just like Nest
reimagined the
thermostat and
Ring reinvented
the doorbell,
RYSE is bringing
window shades
into the smart
home
ecosystem—automated,
app-controlled,
and
retrofit-ready.
With:
- Distribution
in 120+ Best Buy
stores
- A portfolio of
10 granted
patents
- Rapid revenue
growth, doubling
year-over-year
- A product
built to
integrate into
smart platforms
like Tesla’s
RYSE is
positioned to be
part of the
smart home
movement that
companies like
Tesla, Google,
Amazon, and
Apple are
pouring billions
into.
And for a
limited time,
you can invest
at just
$2.25/share—before
any big moves
happen.
If Tesla is the
platform, RYSE
could be a key
component.
Invest in
RYSE
today—last
chance to
invest at
$2.25

$25M vs. $250M
Startup: Which
Offer Wins?
|
|
Thinking about
that Director
offer at a
startup? Here’s a
reality check
|
|
At a $25M company
(Seed/Series A), a
Director in Data
earns around $193K. At a $250M
company (Series
C), it’s about $215K
— just an 11% jump.
|
|
The real
trade-off? Equity vs.
stability.
Smaller startups
offer more equity
but higher risk.
Larger ones? Safer
bets, but smaller
ownership.
|
|
No right answer —
just a question of
what you’re
optimizing
for:
Learning or
earning?

How HubSpot
Turned LinkedIn
Into a Team
Sport
|
|
Most companies
treat LinkedIn
like a
billboard. HubSpot treats it
like a team
strategy.
|
|
From Dharmesh
Shah’s
daily thought
leadership (1.5M+
followers) to Kipp
Bodnar’s
AI x marketing
insights, Kieran
Flanagan’s
workflow videos,
and Yamini
Rangan’s
vision of a $2.75B
AI-first HubSpot —
every post feels authentic,
human, and
aligned.
|
|
Their execs,
marketers, and
sales leaders
don’t just promote
— they participate.
Every voice adds
credibility. Every
conversation
drives visibility
back to the
brand.
|
|
That’s how HubSpot
dominates the feed
— one authentic
voice at a time.
|
|

HubSpot’s
team-led
strategy is

LinkedIn.

The best
investments
don't just pay
you.
They'll pay your
kids. And one
day, your
grandkids.
That's why I own
what I call a
"forever stock."
It pays income
every single
month — and it's
raised those
payouts again
and again over
the years.
It's the kind of
investment you
can treat like a
family home or a
treasured
heirloom —
something you
pass down
through
generations.
It's not flashy.
But it's steady.
Reliable. And
built to last.
See why I
believe this
"forever
stock" should
be in your
family's
portfolio.
