Nuclear, geothermal, and fracking were all invented in NM. Makes sense to have it be the energy hub of the future.

Advice I would give my child if they were in college right now:

1 - you can't seize an opportunity you don't have. Focus on getting the offers, not which one you would accept. 

2 - nobody knows what they are doing or how the world will look, so even a few hours a week of extra effort learning and working with AI will put you miles ahead. 

3 - learning changes threats to excitement. Yesterday a dentist in my neighborhood built an AI setup with his son who is studying accounting. His son is excited, many accounting students are scared. 

4 - I truly believe the future is bright, even if bumpy.

There is a direct correlation between how much time founders are spending with AI and how seriously they take the changing future. There are moments every week that require rethinking everything.

AI is going to force reindustrialization in the US even faster than expected. Capital and talent will be looking for a place to go as belief in pure software is compressed.

One state is going to figure this out. Open the doors to data centers while demand is white hot, set up long-term tax plan, and get the equivalent of Alaska and New Mexico oil added to your state budget.

Really great opportunity for deeptech startups that need more derisking in the lab.

A great startup's ability to recruit someone special doubles every six months. I have oberved that the founders who remember that don't grow their team too fast and create an environment the best people love (while shedding the rest).

Founding Dev is replacing every SMB Saas tool, customizable with AI. Super excited about where this is headed!

I’ve watched companies burn thousands of dollars on basic e-sign tools.

I once saw a company pay $18,000 to DocuSign just to use their APIs.
That frustration is exactly why I started Founding Dev.

Today, we’re launching our own e-signing tool built so businesses don’t have to get ripped off for common workflows.

- Create templates.
- Send documents for signing.
- Stay compliant with ESIGN, UETA (US) and eIDAS (EU).
- Use a powerful API.
- Import and edit templates however you want.

We built this so you don’t have to break the bank to get serious e-sign infrastructure.

If you’re interested, comment “esign” and I’ll DM you the link.

Jonathan Gubbay is looking for an incredible data engineer to add to the team. Plaza is using AI to an extremely high level in their development process, definitely something to check out.

Founder at Plaza | Building Vertical AI for Multi-family Residential | Backed by Antler, Brickyard, & Flybridge

Excited to announce Plaza's pre-seed round! It's been a crazy year filled with a lot of personal and company growth. In the last year I welcomed my third child (3 kids under 5, FTW!), moved my family and GetPlaza.ai from Utah to Tennessee to honor the Brickyard handshake, re-structured the team and re-underwrote our engineering team to be AI-based, drank unhealthy levels of caffeine, started coding, lost a loved one, and made new friends in Chattanooga. Start-ups are incredibly hard, but through it all we have persevered and are doing very well. Truly extraordinary customers and team-members make it worth it in the end. 

I'm excited to keep building closely with our customers, and release Plaza 2.0 this year which I believe will change the real estate industry. Check out our new website getplaza.ai to learn more!

We are looking to hire one more extraordinary individual in the next 30 days, if that is you, please reach out to me. 

Grateful for our investors and supporters. We are thrilled to meet new people as we open up our shop window again and start selling in a couple of months.

A monumental moment for the team at Graza today. It turns out it’s incredibly difficult to make mayo using only olive oils, but that’s what we do here at Graza. If we can create things that add next level flavor, made from ingredients we believe in, we work tirelessly to make it possible. Our fancy mayo is the first mayo ever made exclusively using an unrefined oil, being our extra virgin olive oil. 

What started as just an olive oil company, is evolving quickly into something much larger and magnificent, and I’m honored to work alongside our incredible team in this next phase of our growth. We’re just getting started. You gotta try all three of these, they are good enough to just eat by the spoonful… or is that something weird that only I do?  https://lnkd.in/e694sNk3
