Personal lore update: I’m beyond excited to announce I’m partnering w/@myosin_xyz to build a New Media brand. I’ve spent the past 8 years understanding growth from all aspects, with startups raising and scaling to millions, working in Venture Capital and most importantly in Media. There’s a convergence of growth and media happening in front of us and it’s not as simple as saying “it’s new media”. The shift is structural and perceptive. I’ve been lucky enough to be on the inside to learn from the best on what this owned media machine looks like and how it scales a company. Founders Fund’s Mafia, A16z’s MTS, Open AI’s TBPN, are all steps in that direction but they aren’t the conclusion. They’ve all showed what’s possible when the message is packaged the right way, the attention you get is something that traditional outboud could only dream of. When @blakeminhokim and I had this discussion we came to the same conclusions, the future of growth is not the best tech but building scalable distribution. Giving something more than pure product value is not optional anymore. AI is central piece to the this whole puzzle of scale but it only compounds with the right Hivemind behind it. And that’s what the whole team at Myosin is building. This division is the catalyst to get that in front of more people. If you’re a founder who’s trying to build their own version of New Media and or just curious on how we can help. My DMs are open 🙌

Live rn!

While my whole TL is @token2049, I spent sometime in a post war Dubai, at AI conferences. Here’s what I found: - Being valuable (not just selling but helping even if it’s not ur business) having relatability (be human) and being relevant (be in the same sphere as them) are never out of fashion. Conferences, meetups or just a 1on1 bring those 3 to the table. - Trust is extremely scarce and in that environment, no fluffy BS works, be upfront about what value you actually bring to the table. - People want to feel a sense of community now more than ever, but it’s not living in WA groups or TG chats, it’s IRL, and if you aren’t making any efforts towards them, you will lose out. - Have something worth paying attention to, liquidity is scarce and smart money moves to people worth paying attention to, the best companies who did it understood and took an active effort to do something unforgettable. - No one gives a shit about how cool your AI model or SAAS is (they never have) they care about their own bottom line and if you can’t save costs, increase revenue or save time, you’ll loose. - You can’t fight on pricing and features anymore, period. If you can be wiped out with one feature update from a larger player, don’t even try. - AI markets are crowded and ripe for M&A, pls start a company that facilitates that, you’ll be a millionaire fs.

crazy demo tbh

Going live at 11:30am EDT! This week we run a quick blitz on where marketing meets growth and revenue: AI shopping agents selling the answer as an ad slot, agents breaking per-seat pricing, and AI revenue rising while go-to-market teams shrink. Then Thibaut Hadjen, CTO of @oriane_xyz, demos live how brands can search TikTok and Instagram by what actually shows up on screen. Come hang out w/ @Arnav_ct @blakeminhokim @kalashnikovapv
