🚨 CANCELLED: "Ask Me Anything" about fundraising
Guys, sorry, had to postpone the call tonight due to travel logistics interfering. I WILL answer the couple questions that came in below via a Loom later and will tag you. [Will resume AMA calls next Tuesday at 8:30pm Central, weekly repeat.] Navigate to the Calendar tab for details.

@Blu Inman interesting. I think I saw an app like that that I was referred to actually by @Evan Nguyen

Hi Guys... So sorry for the change and the delay in responding. Travel and then computer problems have sidelined me. Still on with IT as I write and will weigh in soon on these good questions! @Jens George @Blu Inman @Jenna Ostrye
Questions??
If you plan to join tomorrow's AMA Call, or even if you're not sure but have a question, please put them below in the comments before midday Tuesday, and I'll address them during the call!

Become a Master Question-Asker...
If you don't have a subscription to an AI premium service, get one. I use both GPT-4o and Gemini Advanced. Have heard good things about Claude, which is used by one of my favorite new customer engagement tools -- Quin, currently in beta. When you ask the right questions, AI becomes the ultimate no-drama helper who never wants a day off and doesn't mind if I miss National Administrative Assistant's Day. But just like computers have always been as smart as the data we put in them, so AI is as smart as its trained and as it's asked. You have to become a "Master Question-Asker" to get the most out of any AI. The question in my screenshot below isn't even that smart. But it IS specific. That's an important aspect. Be ultra-specific. You can do a lot of prospecting for investors this way, and I've even pushed back and asked again for contact information, and it's provided it. Investors hate it when you send them something that doesn't fit their "thesis" (rationale or criteria for investing). The chart shown was sent out on Airchat by @Larry Velez. FYI. EDIT: my wife just sent me this. Check it out

@Blu Inman I don’t know what this graphic relates to, Blu…?

@Aravind Chembeti I'm not a fan of Copilot, but then again I don't like a lot of Microsoft except for Excel. I use GPT-4o extensively. That "o1" is a new one out, I hear, called Strawberry (?).
"Peter Thiel's startup advice"
Found this on X/Twitter, and I think there are some gems in there. 👇👇👇 Have you answered Thiel's "7 questions every startup must answer"? [SEE ATTACHMENT] 👇👇👇

@Marcos Polanco Would you recommend ScoreApp as a lead magnet and otherwise?

@Blu Inman Blu… cars, or more broadly personal transportation, other than locomotion, isn’t going away. In fact, there will be new products and services. I think like Naval has said, it’s ideal when self-driving cars become so good that we can step into a car with a friend that we are already talking with in person or on Zoom and continue the conversation seamlessly. [EDIT: also, I take the starting position that people are generally “broken,” and the vast majority of us, myself included, will achieve less than optimal living each day. This means that humanity will always preserve tools that allow us to be lazy.]
