I started Seattle 2.0 in 2006 with a vision bigger than I could execute. Today, @seattlefloworg comes to life! It's the place for founders, investors, and people working with startups to discover what's happening in the Seattle region's startup scene.

Hey, Slack. What's the game plan here?

Lula was a better simply because Flavio Bolsonaro had anti-democracy rhetoric. That said, Brazil elected an *80-year-old* (81 tomorrow) president, who's running his *fourth* term, and brings a vision for the future that's based on ideas from the past. I expect Brazil's GDP and purchasing power to lag similar economies over the next four years. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I'm not convinced this says what you think it says.
Holy moly... this new paper finds that 88% of VC-backed founders receive zero exit value 🤪🤪🤪

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.
There is something deeply wrong with Talarico

I watched You Can See Everything yesterday. The second most shocking part of this movie is how few eye blinks there are in this movie!

5. You probably know a few friends building a product on nights and weekends who don't know how to take it to the next level or connect with other founders, events, and resources. Tag them or share Seattle Flow. They'll appreciate it. Welcome to the fold!

Six weeks. That's how long it should take for you to build and launch an alpha version of a new product idea. If you don't need complex agreements or licenses, hard to get data, or regulatory approval, you can launch your experiment in six weeks. You need three things: product vision and strategy clarity, an experienced software engineer that understands how to build product factories, and a few Claude Code and Codex subscriptions.

The market will accept more than that: 1- best 2- cheapest 3- fastest 4- most private/secure (e.g., local) 5- most integrated Honestly, best rarely wins over the long run.
There are only two winning positions in foundation models. The absolute best. Or the best for the cheapest.
