we are raising a $500k pre seed round for @GraceOSLabs.
Grace is a digital presence that understands how you feel before you say a word by reading facial expressions, body language, and tone in real time so people who struggle to express what they feel can still be understood.

dm if this resonates.
the first investor you pitch will probably say no
the founders who raise are the ones who come back with more proof

Sam Altman (@sama) on Asking for what you want:
Founders spend a lot of time trying to earn opportunities—and sometimes hesitate to ask for them.
The introduction. The partnership. The meeting with someone who seems out of reach.
Asking doesn’t guarantee a yes. But deciding on someone else’s behalf guarantees you never find out.
From his conversation with @ti_morse on the Relentless Podcast.
people called it unrealistic when i first said it out loud
i kept building anyway
now it sounds obvious to the same people
if you're raising $500k to $2.5m

everyone's chasing product market fit
almost nobody's chasing investor market fit, and that's the harder one

Building a startup in 2026 means competing with founders who have better tools, cheaper infrastructure and faster feedback loops than any generation before them.
The only thing that has not gotten cheaper is conviction.
And that is still the thing that separates everyone.
the founders who make it aren't the ones who never doubted themselves
they're the ones who kept building anyway
spent an hour on a call with another founder last week
walked away with more clarity than weeks of researching alone would've given me

The market does not care how long you worked on it, how much you sacrificed for it or how good it looks in a deck.
It only cares about whether it solves a real problem for a real person right now.
most founders don't need more advice
they need people who actually understand what they're building
that's why we built @JoinFoundersHub
