we’ve driven 1.7B+ views for our clients this year so far 🫢 from my experience, the products that perform best with UGC have 2 things: 1. mass appeal. it has to solve an everyday pain point that’s relevant to enough people to scale 2. it’s easy to explain in seconds, either visually or in 1 sentence max. the product should speak for itself and be an easy sell to anyone who sees it if your product checks both boxes and you want to dominate UGC before the end of the year, reach out! @glosshouseco

old education models optimize for credentialing, not for building the most ambitious young people increasingly know it, which is exactly why they're opting into founder-dense, project-driven environments instead and why i dropped out of school when i was 19 the world needs more of these because talent is unevenly distributed but opportunity and access aren't, institutions that compress the distance between an ambitious 19 yr old and the people building the future are a structural unlock super excited for where things like this go, cool to see tons of organizations trying stuff like this

what if AI isn’t a story about saving time at all but about finally having something to spend it on? we're hosting a fireside chat with @illscience moderated by @EvanGardne9 to discuss this and other areas of the thesis. if execution is getting cheap, the bottleneck on building shifts from capital, credentials, and permission to simply having something to say. we'll get into what that means for creative work, for who becomes a builder, and for the companies that emerge from things that started out looking like (dare i say) toys.

folks who build community for others rarely get a chance to be part of the community or event so we're hosting a dinner for those partnerships leads, and event hosts at companies, brands, and funds this week four course dinner with dessert catered and sponsored by myka's greek frozen yogurt (so you don't have to wait in a 1 hr long line)
