Believer in the bright future for humanity. Founder of Lab2094. I share my learnings from building products and businesses. Learnings from working with 200+ companies and founders. I built, sold & closed down companies (from $0 to $10M). GTM&PMF are my jam. Always experimenting, learning, and smiling at my odds.

That's cool - Oracle’s plan for AI finally took shape. 🚨 It always felt not complete - all the news about oracle investing and lending infrastructure to frontier labs - but now it makes totally sense. They were getting ready for this … So Oracle just launched something they call AI Database 26ai. Why is that cool? Well, it lets the top AI models, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Llama reason directly over a company's private data, without that data ever leaving the vault. And we all know that the real competitive advantage in AI comes from data - and there are many corps with tons of data they didn't know how to use. Oracle is using a technique called RAG, Retrieval Augmented Generation. Has been around some time but waiting for sensible use-case. Now it has one right here with Oracle which houses more private company data than probably any other database company. 🤯

IMHO - these are the most interesting / IMPACTFUL MANIFESTOS in tech over the years 🤓 Am I missing some?

like companies that have someone (even if it’s not official role) who can operate freely across narrative + distribution + partnerships + tech stack. 🤩  Because all these are necessary to design sensible experiments and think in real-world behavioural systems, not just tech systems as we know them now. (although it’s also changing)

I think (hope) that next step will be “pay by thread” with x402 — without annoying subscriptions https://x.com/nikitabier/status/2029670346610319767?s=46&t=vGdL6gMJv0qcvymUV8209g

read a nice line over the weekend: Recent cycle have been dominated by meme coins, creator coins or coins-for-everything. Pretty much an open admission that web3 industry ran out of credible stories about technological transformation. It took Vitalik long-form tweeting again to break that endless hopeless stream 🙄

Anyone here using x402 for payments now (or plans to in the near future)?  For app, content, art …

The Person You Need ≠ The Person You Want At least not when you're at the beginning of your journey. Your first 10 or 100 or even 1000 people look nothing like your dream customer. These aren't the people who'll make you a billion-dollar company. They're the people who'll make you a REAL COMPANY. These are the ones who close the gap between "I built something" and "someone other than me gives a damn." Think about it ... 😉 (there's always more in BuildBetter)

I see people say: "The tactical stuff that used to take teams weeks is becoming commoditized in real time. So what's left?" They're saying it about XYZ - you can put your favorite part of building a business instead of XYZ - marketing, sales, BD, prospecting, branding, content, community moderation, ... So called influencers and pundits were always saying that because it sounds nice. At least as far as I can see for the past 30 years. 🤔 strange, isn't it? The fact is that tactical stuff is always commoditized, it's the strategy and execution that's hard to find and stick to. Sure, what "commoditized" means changes over time but it was always true. Don't get caught in the doom ... focus on what matters 💪 and BuildBetter 😉

How do we translate culture into product strategy and that into product growth? How do you bridge infra ↔ culture  I’m sure it’s doable, but needs more than just quiet thinking...

how difficult it would be to provide Farcaster rails to other content networks to get x402 working for their content and anyone interested?    … behind the scenes - "username" identity & wallet - provided and funded via ApplePay enabling viewing paywalled content piece by piece

"Content is the king" - was mantra already around year 2000. So we should probably make it more precise in 2026 - "Original content is the king" That goes for content your project or company produces as well 😇

I'll be honest, this is not that much about bragging (although we all like a little win here and there, right) 😀 It’s more about just saying that I am impressed by the speed of trades execution on volt 🏎️ I do trade on different apps and different platforms. Just comparing it to any other wallet trading, like trading perps on Rainbow or similar wallets feels like 10 times slower, which actually matters a lot — so kudos to the team 🙇‍♂️ I just made +14.38% trading BTC LONG 70x on @volt-perps! 📈

I've for the longest time felt that prediction markets are nothing more than glorified gambling ... and they're that too ... but there's something more. Short exploration of that more and what can builders learn from that👇 https://paragraph.com/@buildbetter/why-people-love-prediction-markets-lessons-for-builders
