I'm showing them how to build with AI and add 300K of revenue in 30 days.

Sharing the workbook for the next 24 hours only.

These are not original ideas. 

I did the painstaking work of interviewing thousands of founders.

CEO @ Founderpath (I invest in companies)

Q: You just closed $30m, what was the valuation?
A: 

Reaction in screenshot below :)

Amanda Kahlow is already well known for founding 6sense

She just told me she has customers paying her $400k/yr for her AI Sales Bots (Mindy!)

... Just 18 months after launch.

Firms like Hubspot pay her to replace sales reps

Friends like Jacco van der Kooij cloned himself using Amanda's new tool 1mind

Really enjoyed this one. Interview coming out shortly.

Puzzle wants to kill QuickBooks using AI. 

Sasha Orloff broke a million last year, expects to scale 16x in 2026.

(Puzzle has helped us underwrite founders faster at Founderpath. They're doing important work!)

Going to see a lot more smart founders using debt to grow.

Keep your equity. Ownership is all that matters.
