  instant VC rejection signals (stop wasting your time): - you make empty claims. No numbers, no proof = no credibility. - you ask for an NDA before sharing your deck. Signals inexperience. - your pitch deck has an outdated date. Signals you’ve been fundraising too long. - your market size (SAM) is over $100B. Too broad, VCs assume your numbers are wrong. - your market is too small (SAM < $1B). No VC-scale exit potential. - “we have no competition.” - founders own less than 50% after Series A. Low ownership = weak long-term incentives. - dead equity on your cap table. Bad early deals = no room for employees or future rounds. - your market size is expressed in volume, not value. VCs think in $$, not in units. - you’re not a Delaware C-Corp (or VC-friendly entity). Legal structure matters. - no technical co-founder. No CTO? No funding (for tech startups). - you want to sell to “everyone.” No clear ICP = no focus = no investment. - you talk about exits too early. If you’re pre-seed, focus on building, not selling. - your deck is full of jargon. “Disruption,” “transformation,” “game-changer” = auto-reject. - you exaggerate traction. If investors dig and find out, you’re done. - you’re using a Gmail/Hotmail email. Get a professional domain email. - you can’t estimate CAC/LTV. If you don’t know your unit economics, you’re not ready. - you’re slow to reply to emails. Speed = execution. Slow response = weak founder. - your GTM strategy is just a list of channels. No clear funnel = no go. - your round terms are off-market. Investors expect valuations in a certain range. - you’re raising for less than 18 months or more than 24 months of runway. Too little = risky, too much = over-optimistic. - talking “equity” and “valuation” at pre-seed. Pre-seed rounds = SAFEs, not priced equity. - you can’t handle rejection. VCs talk, don’t burn bridges. - you’re building in a cold market. Some sectors just aren’t getting funded right now. - no “unfair advantage.” If anyone can copy you, why should VCs bet on you? - you’re a Forbes 30 Under 30. 🚩 Investors know PR ≠ success. - your deck is circulating without investor engagement. If no one's biting, something's off. what else?

  @GeminiApp @gmail The problem is that you assume people only use one email address. And that's almost never the case.

  @hetmehtaa The issue is that email itself is not inherently secure. While the practitioner's email system may be encrypted and compliant, there is no guarantee that a patient's personal AOL, Yahoo, or Gmail account has the same level of security. Once information leaves the provider's secure environment and is delivered to an unsecured personal email account, the risk of unauthorized access increases significantly.

  A beginner’s stack for digital privacy and countering the state’s attempt to restrict your online anonymity: 1) Buy a Pixel in cash, preferably second hand. Facebook marketplace or one of those sole trader phone shops. No contract / finance. 2) Install GrapheneOS on your new pixel. Transfer all of your private affairs here e.g if you’re an activist. Signal, telegram, crypto wallet (if that’s your thing), etc etc. 3) Maintain your old phone for every-day affairs. Your bank account, your Facebook account, Uber, that thing. Take this with you for most things, keep your Pixel at home. 4) Switch your email, at least for your private affairs, away from gmail/outlook/etc towards a privacy-first provider. I haven’t done this yet but I know ProtonMail is used by many, but there may be better providers out there. Switch your private accounts to that email. 5) Buy a cheap sim, most shops will sell them. They’re £2 or so, pennies. Don’t take a plan out. Just switch your number on your private accs to the number of the new sim. Put that sim in your Pixel. That gives full security for your accs and separation of public/priv. 6.1) Install Mullvad VPN or your preferred choice, once again, if you use crypto, Mullvad will let you pay this way. It’s around £5/mo. Enable it on both phones and any other devices. 6.2) You could also rent a server from AWS etc for around £5/month and set up a unique VPN with an IP not used by any other service. I’m looking into it myself, I’m not an expert on it, or any of this really. 7) Make the switch from Windows / MacOS to a a more private and fun alternative! Linux is the most obvious. I’ve been looking into Linux Mint myself. It’s not as scary as it looks at first glance! 8) Check out ‘Nostr’ for privacy oriented, alternative platforms. I won’t say much on that as my knowledge is amateur. Good men have suggested it o me though, see the first 2 people below! — I’ve learnt this all very recently, scouring accounts of those smarter than I. I’ll suggest following @derekmross, @freddienew & @augusteprompt. Auguste isn’t a tech account exactly but still valuable.

  $904,674 in a year, and the joke is the notifications keep him company His friend catches him grinning at his phone and assumes it's a girl. It's Shopify. Order 6XXX, one item from Online Store, then the next one, then the next, stacking down the Notification Center while he sits there smiling. The store does $904,674.81 in gross sales over 365 days. 5,647 orders. 4,569 fulfilled. 10.51 percent of buyers come back. The whole operation lives in one phone folder named E-Commerce: TikTok, Instagram, Gmail, WhatsApp, Shopify. That's the toolkit. The monthly climb tells the real story. Jul 2025: $4,760. Aug: $37,238. Sep: $51,626. Each month roughly the last one with a zero pushed over. The girl in the joke was never going to text back this often.

  So I started turning it off. First, the switch they actually show you. On desktop: open Gmail, click the gear, then See all settings. On the General tab, find Smart Features, uncheck it, scroll down and Save. Then I learned that was only half of it.

  1/ Act 1: The Wilderness (2017-2020, $0 to <$1M) After ~100 rejections, one name was left on their list: Mark Cuban. Steffen found his private Gmail inside the Sony hack data dump (anyone could download it back then, wild), sent a cold email with a video of the tech, and Cuban replied in 5 minutes ($1M at a $5M post). - Lever 1: they marketed a product that didn't exist yet by making famous people speak languages they don't. A BBC anchor in Mandarin, Beckham asking for malaria donations in 9 languages (800M+ impressions), Messi selling Lay's (a Cannes Lion), etc. Great (almost free) distribution leverage for a 10-person startup at the time. - Lever 2: they killed their only product with real revenue on purpose. Dubbing booked just under $1M over 18 months but sat at the wrong end of the workflow, "a vitamin, not a painkiller" as Victor puts it, so they shut it down (trade-off to identify and focus on a long term revenue driver, corporates). - Lever 3: they sold a worse video to people comparing it to no video at all. A clunky 2020 avatar lost to a film crew but it beat the 15-page PDF nobody tended to read in a coroporation, and that flipped pretty much everything (roadmap, monetization and trajectory). Self-serve hit $0 to $1M ARR in ~4 months.

  your cold email isn't failing because of your copy it's failing because gmail decided you were spam before anyone opened it the inbox math doesn't care how good your subject line is if your dns is broken fix the infrastructure first. then worry about the words. most people do this in the wrong order.

  I just got an email reply that reminded me why I actually do this. It was from a girl named Roos. She replied to one of my automated funnels for Beter Turnen. The email I sent was a standard sequence. Talking about lesson prep, saving time, and offering a trial for my platform. Real "founder marketing" stuff. Her reply: "Jo, I want you to know that I'm really sorry but I can't gymnastics anymore. My knee has a very bad injury so unfortunately I have to delete your gmail too otherwise I get too much storage sorry 😔" It hit me. We talk about funnels, conversion rates, and "leads" all day. We look at dashboards and see numbers moving up or down. But on the other side of that automation is a person who feels like they owe you an apology because they can't use your product anymore. Roos didn't just unsubscribe. She felt a connection enough to explain why she was leaving. She was worried about her storage space, but more worried about letting me know why she couldn't follow the lessons. Automation usually feels cold. But if you write like a human, people respond like humans. Even when they’re leaving. That’s the goal. Building something that people actually care about losing.

  38,000 contacts. Zero sends in 5 years. Then one day they pulled the trigger. Emailed all 38,000 without any slow ramp up, nuking their sender reputation in the process. When your daily send volume goes from a few hundred emails to suddenly blasting 38,000 addresses. In the eyes of the inbox providers (ie. Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook ), you look like a crooked spammer. So that’s exactly where your emails go. Open rates drop to <10% and sales from email dries up with it. If you're holding onto a list and plan on sending to them when there’s less fires to put out in your business/life, remember… It takes seconds to **** your domain and months to recover. If we’d gotten to this client before this happened. We would have: > cleaned the list > ramped up the sends slowly > reintroduced the client to the list Of course there is nuance to this. But you can make bank from a dormant list. As long as you pull the right levers in the right order.

  12/ Monitor your storage usage Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos share the same storage pool. Running out of space can disrupt backups, email delivery, and file syncing. Check it before it becomes a problem.

  For 5 years I've told every client to install Google Postmaster Tools. And for 5 years I've been half guessing with it... Google just fixed that. Inside Google Postmaster Tools gives you impressive-looking graphs and charts and tells you if your domain reputation is "high" or "medium" or "low". But it's always felt like going off vibes. Okay... My domain reputation is medium. What does that mean? How do I fix it? It's like giving someone the weather report but not telling them how to dress. But Gmail has made a cool new update. There's a new "Deliverability analysis" tool all the way at the bottom. It will give you a REASON why your emails aren't inboxing they way you want. Straight from Googles own documentation they will now tell you if: -You send too little email -Your messages fail to deliver -You exceed the recommended spam threshold -Recipients aren't opening or interacting with your email -Recipients indicate they want more of your messages -You don't meet Google's sender guidelines Now you can know the real reason and fix it. But be honest… have you actually set up Postmaster Tools yet?

  Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Google storage fills up quietly, and many people rush to pay without checking what is actually consuming the space. Most people blame Gmail, but the real problem is often somewhere else. With one proper clean-up, you can free up a surprising amount of storage in less than ten minutes. Here is the method:👇

  Your longer chats aren't smarter. They're dumber. Here are the 12 wrong facts you (still) believe: 1. LONGER CHAT → not smarter ☑ One chat = one task. Finish it after getting done. ☑ Need the context? Ask for a 5-line summary, paste it into a fresh chat. Faster AND cheaper. 2. CLAUDE AGREEING → not a proof you're right ☑ "Argue the strongest case against this. Be harsh." ☑ Test: if it can't find a flaw, your idea isn't ready. 3. CONFIDENT → not always correct ☑ Prompt with: "Rate your confidence 1–10 & what change would you make to your answer." ☑ A 6/10 with reasons beats a 10/10 with vibes. 4. PROMPTING → you don't need to learn it ☑ You only need 4 words: "Ask me questions first." ☑ Claude interviews you. You click. That's it. 5. LONGER PROMPT → not a better prompt ☑ Don't write "do step 1, then 2." Write the end goal ☑ "Make this report something my CEO screenshots." It's smarter than your directions. 6. BROWSER → switch to Claude app ☑ The Claude app builds the real file in your folder. ☑ The browser makes you copy-paste. ☑ Make a folder, call it "cowork," point Claude at it. Now it ships .xlsx, .pptx, .pdf - for real. 7. CHAT → not the whole building ☑ Chat is floor 1: Cowork, Skills, Code are upstairs. ☑ Open the app, click Cowork (the whole upgrade). 8. SKILLS → build one tonight, no code ☑ Type /skill-creator and say: "Teach Claude to do [your task] the way I like it. Ask me questions first." ☑ Now it fires on its own when the task fits. 9. PASTING LOGINS → never do this ☑ Never paste a password. No need to explain why. ☑ That's literally what connectors are for. ☑ Customize → Connectors → connect Gmail, Calendar, Drive properly. 10. AI → keep the understanding ☑ Outsource the typing. Not the understanding. ☑ Don't ship what you can't explain. After answers: "Explain this to me like I'll be questioned on it." 11. FIRST DRAFT → it's the starting line ☑ The first draft is yours to fix, not to ship. ☑ Prompt: "What's the weakest part of this? Fix it." 12. TOO FAR BEHIND → no, you're not ☑ The bar to 'knowing how' is to try it. ☑ Open Claude tonight. Not Monday. Tonight. Quick gut-check before you scroll: If you nodded at even 3 of these, that's not a 'you' problem - nobody told you.

  Gemini has 28% of the AI assistant market right now. Sounds great until you realize most of that is people who never actually chose it. it's just baked into Gmail, Android, and Google Search. Captive audience isn't the same as mindshare. Ask a dev what they open when they need to actually write code or debug something hard. It's not Gemini. Claude Opus 4.8 is at 88.6% on SWE-bench. GPT-5.5 is running the agentic workflows. Even Grok is taking shots. The models that actually end up in startup stacks and production pipelines? Still not Google's. And yeah, Google literally published "Attention Is All You Need" in 2017. Invented the transformer. Watched the world build the entire AI era on it, then struggled to ship a product that devs actually prefer to use. To be fair: Gemini 3.5 Flash just dropped at Google I/O last month, apparently runs 4x faster than other frontier models. Veo and Imagen are genuinely good for video/image generation. And Gemini 3.1 Pro beat everyone on ARC-AGI-2 abstract reasoning. So they can clearly build. The problem is when people have a real choice, they're still not picking Gemini for the work that matters most to them.

  Can’t unlink my Xbox activision because you need to login via email. Gmail says the account needs to be created bc that email doesn’t exist. Gmail also says the email is taken when you create the email. Activision will only respond via email. But I can’t reach that email.
