Snowflake Data Marketplace| Co-founder@CN (acq Snowflake)| Investor@Communityfund| I share insights on building start-ups and personal growth

I love building companies. Over the last 10 years, I’ve started, scaled, and exited 4 ventures—some bootstrapped to multi-million ARR, others acquired by industry leaders. Additionally - I was also fortunate to be part of Snowflake Pre-IPO to post-IPO growth phase - seeing what scaling looks like in the product and sales orgs. 

Right now, I’m deep in AI, co-running the world’s largest AI newsletter and building/researching in the Memory and AI agent space. I also invest actively—both through a fund and my own syndicate—backing founders who are building category-defining companies.

Always open to great conversations, whether it’s about building, investing, or the future of AI.

If you’ve been in AI long enough, you know when something shifts.

The last 12 months the slope steepened.

Models now:
• Write and ship production-level code.
• Handle multi-step reasoning reliably.
• Work across large codebases and documents without collapsing.
• Orchestrate tools and execute structured workflows.
• Cost materially less per experiment than a year ago.

And the pace between releases is compressing.

What matters isn’t just that models are better. It’s that iteration cycles are collapsing.

You can now:
- Ship MVPs in days.
- Run 10x more experiments per sprint.
- Test product hypotheses without adding headcount.
- Refactor entire systems without touching most of the code yourself.

The builders who understand this are reorganizing around it.

Smaller teams > higher leverage > more shots on goal > faster feedback loops.

This is the first time in my career where capability, cost, and velocity all improved at once.

If you’re building on the app layer right now, this is an unusually asymmetric moment.

Lean in.

We've been extremely lucky to have some of the sharpest minds in tech sit down with us on Superhuman.

We’ve talked about 
- Building in monopolized markets
- Competing with giants
- AI-native companies
- Capital allocation
- Leadership under pressure

...and a lot more

Stripe can't process a payment in Pakistan. But it just became a bank.

Not a fintech. Not a wallet. A federally chartered bank, approved by the same US regulator that oversees JPMorganChase.

It can now issue digital dollars, custody crypto, and manage reserves under federal law.

Nubank got the same approval. So did Circle, Ripple, and Fidelity International.

Meanwhile, Pakistan signed an MoU with Binance to tokenize $2 billion in government bonds. We're greenlighting crypto exchanges while the world's biggest payment company still won't let a Pakistani founder accept $50 from a client in New York.

Nobody's connecting these dots.

The next wave of global payments won't run on Swift codes and correspondent banking. It'll run on stablecoins and tokenized assets.

Stripe knows this. That's why it paid $1.1 billion for a stablecoin company and turned it into a bank.

The question isn't whether this shift is coming.

It's whether Pakistan will be building these rails or begging to use someone else's.
