Every elite team is built through elimination. Seals. Pro teams. It’s who isn’t in the room. Your worst person is your acceptable standard. You literally accept them. So that is your minimum. You raise the bar from the bottom not by expanding the top.

ROCKETSHIP @confidotech
Confido (@confidotech) is building the AI workforce for consumer brands, automating everything from accounting to sales and demand planning. They work with brands like Olipop and Dude Wipes, as well as divisions of Mars and Unilever, and recently raised a $55 million Series B led by Insight.
In this episode of Founder Firesides, Confido co-founders Justin Hunter and Kara Holinski join @sdianahu to share how they found a huge opportunity in an industry still running on spreadsheets and manual processes, and why selling the work rather than the software helped them win large enterprise customers.

Want to get ahead?
Don’t be bitter.
Too many people in this industry just seethe jealousy.
If they see any brand doing even a dollar more they scream like that dollar was stolen from them.
It’s the same for agency guys, content creators, brand builders.
There is always a bigger fish.
Someone making more money, someone growing faster, someone getting the spotlight.
Just celebrate them.
Hype them up.
Invest in them.
If you complain post all day, you just look like an angry 13 year old.
Take that energy and build something.
Or drop that shit and just start high fiving.

If friends can help tag these Doctors, I would really appreciate it.
@DrPatrick @richadcock
My mom has stage 4 triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer and has progressed through multiple lines of treatment over the past three years.
For anyone unfamiliar, this is one of the rarest and most aggressive forms of breast cancer.
I'm trying to get her seen at your clinic. We've submitted all of her paperwork and Dr. Ansary asked for our phone number, but we still haven't received a call.
We are desperate for options and we need to move fast I also recognize what a response in her case would mean. She has the rarest and most aggressive presentation of this disease, and she's exhausted multiple lines of standard therapy. If Anktiva worked here, it would be a powerful demonstration of what this treatment can do.

19 months ago, IM8 was an idea David Beckham and I sketched out.
General Catalyst just committed $1B — not a single share issued. 6 months of diligence, every cohort tested, before they said yes.
Grateful to our team and every customer — one order every 27 seconds.

people saying i was early to talking about $pre lets be clear
i was not early i was FIRST
IM8 BAGS $1B FROM GENERAL CATALYST'S CVF FUND
The fastest growing supplements company in history announced today it has bagged another $1B in funding from General Catalyst.
General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund is not a standard vc or pe fund making equity investments. Instead, they offer loans with non-traditional repayment terms. Startups funded by CVF replay the loan amount along with a capped share of revenue.
General Catalyst is not buying stock and current shareholders will not be diluted. The loan will finance up to 70% of IM8’s CAC.
IM8 revenue in Q1 2026 was $33.8M, up 23.1% QoQ. Annual revenue guidance for IM8 was raised by $10M to $190M - $200M.
