Advice doesn't work twice. Everything we did to level up Brev, we were advised against Making the logo a shaka: Investors told me no enterprise would pay for our product, but we were acquired by NVIDIA. The Shaka differentiated us in a sea of infra products using space imagery and aggressive straight lines. I put llama weights on usb drives since the first llama model didn't release the weights. “No one will plug that into their computer” That wasn’t the point. It stood out, and @mollycantillon tweets it and the tweet 4xed daily user growth Paper flyers are scammy. So I leaned in and made it so scammy it couldn’t possibly be a real scam. Put the last flyer up at 12am. Sold $3m of reservations by morning. I don't think this strategy would work again. Thumb drives, paper flyers, etc won't be disruptive like it would in 2023. My takeaway: 1) Good advice gets good outcomes, but you need unobvious ideas for great outcomes. Remember, you're shooting for a tail end outcome 2) Everyone who gives advice is blind to the roads they didn’t take that would also work Follow your intuition, it’ll either work or further calibrate your intuition.
