01 / recommendation
“" So it's not interesting, but it gets me thinking and it gives me a look at the different angles. And I use Granola a lot, for example, because to me, it's super helpful to get AI summaries of the meetings and it's very powerful for me.”
02 / observation
“The only way to create a word of mouth loop is just to blow their socks off when they actually experience your product.”
03 / belief
“What makes this very real is just this week, apparently OpenAI had this whole code red moment where even though OpenAI by far the leading AI assistant over almost a billion, I think monthly active users, basically synonymous with AI around the world, with Gemini 3 launching, their market share just started to dip really quickly.”
04 / commitment
“I can't comment on specific margin details for us, but at the same time, the money that we're raising on VC is for future development and hardening our business, not because we will not be able to survive without it.”
05 / belief
“I think the power should be with consumer always, but with software, power has not been with consumer previously because we were forced to use towards some solutions because of either how they were chosen for us or what was available in the market.”
06 / belief
“I think we can just all lean in and make sure that nobody's left behind in this wave.”
07 / uncertainty
“I don't know if you saw this tweet where I tagged you the other day, or maybe it was today.”
08 / belief
“Now, it's three months, and all of a sudden you have to face that question again. And it's happening because of two things, in my opinion.”
09 / belief
“The ceiling of what is possible has been raised so massively that we haven't even became too closest to even see it, I believe.”
10 / uncertainty
“I don't know what this is. I don't know what I'm doing with it. So I could see how this loop goes faster and faster by giving it away.”
11 / belief
“I think people are getting used to these insane numbers, and not long ago is like, okay, if you hit a million ARR in a year, you're doing pretty well.”
12 / belief
“I think community is really important here because you need to bring people together as they're exploring these capabilities and as they're seeing what's possible so they can bounce off each other and they can help each other out.”
13 / belief
“If not, I think we're going to come up with crazy things of what this LLM and AI will be able to do if it's going to continue at this cusp, but it's a weird place to be in because every three months we have to throttle on our scaling efforts and just reinvent and then scale again.”
14 / belief
“The way I think about it, the way what you're describing is it's almost table stakes have increased, and now it's so easy to build.”
15 / evaluation
“This is difficult for larger companies. But when you're smaller and you still have a little bit more narrative control with everybody on your team, plus you have so much more trust within the organization, where people are going to say the right things because they understand what actually has happened, that ability to just really quickly deliver the message to the market becomes really important.”
16 / prediction
“Especially in B2B, so focused on search. And now I feel like it's been completely pushed even further into consumerization territory, and it has become all about social no matter how B2B you are, because that's where eyeballs are at.”
17 / prediction
“Because we had our 100 million in end of July, and just four months later we were at 200 million.”
18 / evaluation
“This is one of the once in a lifetime type of companies, and the category, the way that it's evolving. So, I want to make sure that people don't all of a sudden set this as a benchmark for success because it should never be.”
19 / preference
“Because otherwise, yeah, I would be in that experience all the time. But I feel a lot more at ease, because everybody's thinking about it and everybody's working on making agents better.”
20 / commitment
“" So I think that just making in the moment, in every day, when sometimes in-the-hour decisions, to me, works better than trying to balance something that is completely unachievable and it feels overwhelming to even think about. But I prioritize this in my sleep, my health, my workout schedule, my kids, my family, my husband, and just my downtime because I know that I'm most creative once I have separation from work, because then I come in with all cylinders firing and I have so many more ideas about it.”
21 / preference
“I love this move, because I hate nothing more than going to software that is just so painful to use that I lose some brain cells as I'm interacting with it, versus software that I feel I get energy out of.”
22 / preference
“I've never used AI there the way I use AI at Lovable and the things that I'm capable of accomplishing at Lovable, and I don't know if I ever would've made that leap so fast unless I joined Lovable.”
23 / evaluation
“Our NDR is quite good because when people build, they want to buy more credits to build. So, we're seeing really good revenue retention, but we're honestly more focused right now on engagement retention than even paid retention because our North Star is just to get as much usage as possible, and we will fix and tune our monetization model afterwards.”
