We spent a lot of time testing and discussing if it was the right call to make Gemini 3 our default model in Amp. We've never chosen a new model on launch day before, however we we…

Yes, there linked at the bottom of the page: https://github.com/snarktank/founder-gpts

I've added the CFO. Is that what you're looking for? https://ollamahub.com/m/snarktank/your-cfo:latest

Looking forward to see if this helps other founders.

Most of us founders won’t publicly admit it: We’re very lonely and stressed. I know from 20 years of building 4 companies (1 failure, 3 acquisitions). We can’t be truly transparent…

Nick is a quality human. Well deserved.

Thank you

Fair point - revenue is just a way to speak about size. Amongst my CEO friends, yearly revenue is used as the blunt measurement of the size of business. I would say there's some va…

I think that was either a huge compliment, or a terrible slight, but I can't quite figure out which one :)

I'm lucky that I could refine my skills through those first three businesses. If Treehouse was my first big idea, I'd have no choice. I'd just have to do the best I could. > What c…

Thanks for the kind words

That's why I chose my definition carefully. Being able to raise capital is determined by a lot of things that unfortunately, you cannot control. This is one of the reasons I'm so p…

I pity someone who is 'passionate' about those things.

You should blog about it!

I like that definition :)

Interesting that you were at Google. What did you do there? I'm just finishing "I'm Feeling Lucky" about Google's early days.

I don't think "focus on getting lucky" is quite right either. I didn't sift through all the available opportunities and choose changing education. I was personally interested in th…
