Most founders obsess over more calls booked.

But almost no one optimises what happens after the call is booked.

And that’s the most expensive gap in the entire sales process.

Last quarter:
87% show-up rate.
40%+ close rate.
$500,000 closed.

Not because of more ads.
Not because of better scripts.
Not because of more automation.

But because we rebuilt the 10 minutes between booking and the call.

Here is the truth:
Your close rate isn’t determined on the call.
It’s determined before the call.

So here’s what we used:
• a short “pre-call film”
• founder thesis
• case studies
• expectations
• decision-maker rules
• trackable engagement
• AI-assisted Q&A
• SDR → closer handoff script

Buyers show up informed, warmed up, aligned, and ready.

It’s the easiest win in founder-led sales.

And yet…
almost no one is doing it.

What part of your sales process has the most friction right now?

 (Asking because this one change fixed most of ours.)

Principal Consultant | Founder Thesis™ • Narrative Strategy & Sales Architecture

Off-market doesn’t mean offline.

It means intelligently online.

The most sophisticated deals today aren’t found through networks alone.

They’re engineered through data, insight, and digital origination systems.

Capital now connects through intelligence, bringing off-market demand to light with speed and discretion.

- data-driven origination
- Institutional-grade alignment
- digital transparency at scale

The future of private markets is digital.
 
The edge belongs to those who know where capital wants to go next.

#capitalorigination #infrastructure #privatemarkets

Most founders think they need capital.

Most really need clarity first.

After many origination conversations, one pattern appears.

Founders jump straight to the number.

But investors do not invest in numbers. 
They invest in logic.

Good opportunities fall apart not because of economics,
but because the narrative is incomplete.

Here is what serious capital looks for before anything else:

- what the capital will achieve
- why the opportunity exists
- what evidence supports it
- how execution will unfold
- how the founder thinks
- why the timing matters

Capital moves toward clarity.
Clarity builds confidence.

If you are preparing a significant project in infrastructure, energy, or AI, make your story as strong as the opportunity itself.

#infrastructure #energytransition #capitalorigination

Most pivots burn capital.

But it’s not the product.

Most founders treat a pivot like an engineering problem.

New features. New funnels. New hires.

None of that solves the real issue.

The real failure point is narrative clarity.
 
If your market hypothesis is wrong, everything built on it collapses.
 
I just wrote a full thesis showing how founders can validate a new market in 30 days and avoid $150k in wasted engineering time.

Here’s the core:
 → Pivots fail from unclear coordinates
 → Sales letters set engineering constraints
 → VSLs validate demand faster than code
 → Alignment beats iteration every time

A founder who applied this jumped from 23% to 47% close rate and added $500k from one narrative shift.

If you want the full Founder Thesis doc, comment “Thesis” and I’ll send it.

#founders #gtmstrategy #startups

Just closed $500k using this.

87% show up, 40% + close rate

Do you use a pre-call video?

You should.

A simple pre-sale video that introduces you or your sales rep, covers the thesis, shows case studies. 

And it needs to be fully trackable so you know if they engaged and are ready.

Prospects watch it, they interact with AI, ask questions, and arrive to the sales call pre-sold ready to buy.

It is the easiest way to lift trust, qualify intent, and increase conversions.

So be honest.

Do you have a pre-call video in your sales process?

Let me know in the comments.

$100B+ in Transactions | VP Origination Lesiuk Capital

The private markets are changing fast.

Alignment is the new advantage.

Institutional investors want speed and transparency.

Founders and operators want capital and credibility.

Between those two worlds lies the new frontier, where strategy and execution move in sync.

That’s where we operate.

Elite capital advisory today isn’t about access.

It’s about alignment, at speed and scale.

CEO and Founder

Meta just lost its AI brain.

Yann LeCun, Meta’s Chief AI Scientist and one of deep learning’s founding fathers is leaving to start his own AI company.

LeCun helped build Facebook’s FAIR lab back in 2013 and shaped the foundations of modern neural networks.

His exit comes as Meta reorganizes its AI division under Alexandr Wang (ex-Scale AI).

LeCun has been openly skeptical of the large-language-model race, maybe now he’s building the alternative.

Another AI revolution might just be starting, this time outside Big Tech.

Nvidia signals it could top $500B, bubble worries aside.

Huang says Nvidia could exceed a longer-term projection of $500B in sales of new chips and systems.

That posture also pushes back on “AI bubble” concerns. 

Near term, he claims supply is planned “incredibly well.” 

But China data-center sales are guided to zero for now.

Is Google now the hottest AI company?
 
Gemini 3 is drawing raves and topping benchmarks.

And crucially, Google trains/serves on its own TPUs. 

This means less reliance on Nvidia, better end-to-end control, and potentially lower inference costs at scale.

If external customers adopt TPUs, the market will shift fast. 

Will Google’s vertical stack beat Nvidia’s ecosystem lead?

Your private ChatGPT chats might end up in court.

OpenAI is fighting a court order demanding 20 million ChatGPT conversations for the ongoing lawsuit with The New York Times.

The company argues this would violate user privacy, even if chats are anonymized because real people share real sensitive info.

NYT says it needs the data to prove copyright misuse, OpenAI says the request is massive overreach with almost no relevance to the case.

This could become a defining moment for how user data is treated in future AI lawsuits.

Where do you stand, protect privacy or reveal the data?

Anthropic vs. Open AI, which one will hit Wall Street first?
 
Anthropic is racing OpenAI to the stock market as Wilson Sonsini, a veteran of Google and LinkedIn listings is reportedly engaging with the company to prepare for a potential public offering.

This is a sign the AI rivalry is moving from model performance to market power. 

If Anthropic goes public first, it could set the tone for how investors value advanced AI companies, their safety approaches, and their revenue paths. 

The AI competition is expanding, and now it’s happening on Wall Street too.

Who do you think will win this IPO race?

Full article in the comments.

Anthropic’s engineers now do over half their work with AI, problem or progress?

In a new internal study, they surveyed 132 engineers, ran 53 interviews, and analyzed 200K Claude Code sessions.

The result? engineers now use Claude for 59% of their work and report roughly a 50% productivity boost. 

The upside? people feel faster, more capable, and finally able to ship projects that used to sit on the “nice to have” list. 

But some worry they’re practicing core skills less, talking to coworkers less, and not sure what their job looks like in a few years.

This might be an early preview of what AI-augmented work will look like for the rest of us. 

Does this version of “future of work” excite you or worry you more?
