One reason why @IfWeRaise needs to exist?

Really interesting article with practical examples exploring how ~ChatGPT can play the role of a startup co-founder / advisor.
Including writing the code for your Minimum Viable Product 😅
Given that powerful LLMs are here and available to billions of people, discussions about AI shouldn’t always be theoretical
We need to be asking very pragmatic questions about AI: When is using AI better than having no human help at all? When is it worse? oneusefulthing.org/p/the-bes…
Thanks Marquis, we can especially recommend next week's session with @judyleeleung from @Sweqlink 🚀

Brilliant founder hack for helping other founders with their fundraising. Just had a founder include 3 founders that are raising in an investor update.
Perfect captive audience ✔️

I’m excited to be featured in @WomenInTechShow hosted by @WeAreLATech's @EspreeDevora.
The purpose of the show is for every listener to walk away feeling 'If She Can Do It So Can I'.
Espree calls it "actionable empowerment".

There has never been a better time to raise a small round from @calmfund for the founders to focus, use AI-assisted coding to build a killer product with a small team, get to customer revenue quickly and never have to raise again.
