One statistic that really surprised me is how sharply disability registration has risen at elite universities.
At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled. At Amherst, it’s 34%, and at Stanford, it's 38%.

Anthropic models now available to Microsoft co-pilot users - great!
Microsoft shipping data outside its secure cloud to do so, and losing all warranties re residency, copyright protection, etc, into the bargain - not great!

If your team already has a PM, encourage them to be a vibe coder. If not, hire one who can vibe code. A working prototype is invaluable for gathering user feedback.

It’s an incredible time to be building a startup
I totally get how right now is an amazing time to be a startup, with the huge multiplier that LLMs can provide to founders... but VCs and their LPs get paid on exit. And exit requires a strategy that lasts for the next decade. Given the uncertainty over timelines, what is that?
