BREAKING:Anthropic just launched the Claude Marketplace 🎉
Enterprises can now procure AI tools directly through Claude, with existing Anthropic spend counting toward it - https://lnkd.in/ep3ECYEh

First partners: GitLab, Harvey, Lovable, Replit, Rogo, Snowflake

▫️ Legal work automated (Harvey)
▫️ Pitch decks built by AI (Rogo)
▫️ Coding with fewer devs needed (Replit)
▫️ Your Anthropic contract pays for all of it

Apple's App Store made third-party developers rich.

This does the opposite, it replaces what those developers used to charge $500/hr for.

Anthropic isn't building a consumer product. It's becoming the operating system enterprises run on.

Currently in limited preview. 1M views in the first hour 🤯

Which vertical do you think gets disrupted first?

Ruben Hassid just shared the exact prompt that builds professional decks with Claude 🎨

Most people type "make me a deck about X" and wonder why it looks generic.

The actual 9-step system:

1️⃣ Task — Define success criteria upfront, not the topic
2️⃣ Context Files — Upload your brand, audience, and standards once
3️⃣ Reference — Show Claude an example of what good looks like
4️⃣ Research — Claude runs 5+ searches before touching a single slide
5️⃣ Slide Brief — Outline first, title and 3 key points per slide
6️⃣ Rules — Tell Claude not to generate slides yet
7️⃣ Generate — Pass the outline to Gamma with your brand theme
8️⃣ Theme — Claude connects to Gamma directly
9️⃣ Alignment — Claude asks YOU questions before starting anything

The full prompt is in this infographic and it's worth saving 👇

Anthropic CEO refuses to hold Sam Altman's hand. Live on stage 😂

India AI Impact Summit 2026. Modi in the center. Sundar Pichai, Alexander Wang, Dario Amodei, Sam Altman https://lnkd.in/d7jkDDgR

The "Unity Raise" begins. Modi grabs hands. Chain reaction starts.

Altman extends his hand toward Dario.

Dario looks at it like it's misaligned. Refuses.

1.4 billion people watching.

Altman raises his fist in the air instead. Dario matches it.

The AI wars have officially begun.

BREAKING: Iranian strikes just hit AWS data centres in the Middle East. First time in history that cloud infrastructure becomes a military target🚨

Dario Amodei's (Anthropic Founder & CEO) latest interview: https://lnkd.in/ep3ECYEh

▫️ Objects struck an AWS facility in the UAE, creating sparks and fire 

▫️ Two AWS zones in the UAE lost power. Bahrain also hit. 

▫️ AWS told customers to fail over to other regions 

Alphabet, Microsoft, and Alibaba also have massive data center facilities in the region. 

Anthropic runs on AWS. Claude was used in classified military settings. The infrastructure behind AI just became a target.

US futures down sharply. Oil up. Gold up. 

What happens when the cloud stops being safe?

Anthropic just hit $380B valuation. Larger than Boeing. Larger than Netflix 😳
Founded 5 years ago by ex-OpenAI employees.

▪️ Anthropic: $14B revenue, $380B valuation
▪️ OpenAI: $20B revenue, $500B valuation

⚠️Anthropic's Leaked Deck: https://lnkd.in/dwGj5pJx

Anthropic is 5 years younger. Already at 76% of OpenAI's value.

▪️ Anthropic: enterprise-first, 8 of Fortune 10 use Claude
▪️ OpenAI: consumer-first, testing ads on free tier

Anthropic got to $14B in 3 years.
OpenAI got to $20B in 11 years.

Enterprise scales with margin.
Consumer scales with cash burn.

By 2027, Anthropic could surpass OpenAI in value

Perplexity just dropped something that got 12 million views on X in 20 hours 🔥
They call it Perplexity Computer

One system that orchestrates 19 AI models at once. Research, design, code, deploy, project management. End to end.

How it works: https://lnkd.in/dPRiBCYP

▫️ You give it a project, it routes tasks across 19 models automatically
▫️ Need research? One model. Code? Another. Design? A third.
▫️ Agents run in parallel, not sequentially
▫️ Persistent memory across sessions (your work, preferences, files)
▫️ Hundreds of connectors to external tools with web access built in

No more switching between Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, and five other tabs. No more re-explaining context every conversation.

This is what a personal computer in 2026 looks like.

I wrote a full playbook covering how to actually use it: the project structures that work, 15 high-ROI workflows with exact prompts, failure modes to avoid, and an honest comparison between Computer, Claude Cowork, and OpenAI Operator.

👉 Comment "AI" and I'll send it to you.

What's the first project you'd throw at a system running 19 models at once?

Sequoia says the next $1T company will be a software company disguised as a services firm
The logic is simple:

If you sell the tool, every model improvement is an existential threat. If you sell the outcome, every model improvement makes you faster and cheaper.

The distinction:

▫️ Copilots sell to the professional
▫️ Autopilots sell to the buyer of the outcome, bypassing the professional entirely

For every $1 spent on software, $6 is spent on services. Autopilots compete for the labor budget, not the tool budget.

That's a completely different game.

The autopilot opportunities already being disrupted: insurance brokerage, IT managed services, payroll, accounting, paralegal, mortgage origination, KYC/AML, legal transactional.

The next wave: supply chain, pharmacy back-office, wealth management ops, fund administration.

What's left after intelligence takes over? Judgement.

Which industry do you think gets disrupted first?

"How hard can it be?"

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang admits he wouldn’t have started the company if he knew how hard it would be. 

Building NVIDIA and powering the AI revolution was “a million times harder” than he and his co-founders expected. 

Huang believes this underestimation is an entrepreneur’s superpower. 

It’s what allows founders to dive headfirst into the unknown, tackling challenges one day at a time with relentless grit. 

Even today, he tricks himself into asking, “How hard can it be?”—a mindset that keeps him moving forward. 

For founders: resilience isn’t just a trait—it’s a skill. 

The journey will test you in ways you can’t imagine, but the ability to face the impossible and keep going is what separates the good from the great. 

What’s keeping you moving forward?

BRRAKING: ChatGPT is in freefall🚨

After signing a deal with the Pentagon, the numbers speak for themselves:

▫️ 295% surge in uninstalls in a single day 

▫️ 1-star reviews up 775% 

▫️ 5-star reviews down 50% 

▫️ Claude daily downloads surpassed ChatGPT's for the first time 

▫️ Claude hit #1 on the US App Store 

Anthropic refused to remove safety guardrails for the Pentagon. Trump blacklisted them. OpenAI signed the deal hours later.

Altman has since acknowledged OpenAI moved too quickly and revised the contract. 

Trust took years to build. One weekend to crack.

Are you switching?

BREAKING: Claude can now build interactive charts and diagrams directly in the chat 😳

Free on all plans. No exports, no third-party tools, no copy-pasting data somewhere else.

Just describe what you want to visualize and it builds it inline.

This is the feature that makes every other charting tool harder to justify.

What's the first dataset you're throwing at it?

🚨 BREAKING: Anthropic Releases CLAUDE SKILLS 🔥

Almost nobody is relaising how big this is.

Claude Skills let you turn prompts into permanent workflows.

Instead of telling AI what to do every time… you just teach it once.

Then Claude automatically knows:
•⁠ ⁠how you write
•⁠ ⁠how you structure work
•⁠ ⁠how your workflows run
•⁠ ⁠what steps to follow

So your AI stops acting like a chatbot…and starts acting like an employee that runs processes for you.

Once a skill is built, Claude can trigger it automatically whenever the request matches.

This is HUGE.
This just took AI from: tool you prompt → system that runs your workflows

So what did we do?

We just released the full guide to Claude Skills 🔥

•⁠ ⁠what Claude Skills actually are
•⁠ ⁠how they work under the hood
•⁠ ⁠how to build your first skill in ~15 minutes

BREAKING: Sequoia: The next $1T company may not sell software. It may sell the work 🤯 


Sequoia partner Julien Bek just made a huge claim:
“The next $1 trillion company will be a software company masquerading as a services firm.”

And the more I looked into it, the more I think he may be right.

A lot of founders are still building:
- copilots
- assistants
- tools that help people do the job better

But the bigger opportunity may be:
build the company that does the job itself.

I broke this thesis down in detail, including:
- the core idea behind it
- 5 companies already doing it
- the playbook they seem to share
- the biggest opportunities still open

🚨 BREAKING: I’m partnering with Deel to fund up to 10 founders with $1,000,000 🤑 


Deel just launched The Pitch, a global startup tournament, for the best founder in the world. The prices:

• 10 startups will each receive a $1M SAFE 
• 100 regional winners will each receive $50K SAFEs
• $15M+ total capital deployed

And we’re officially partnering with them to push this to the Market Fit audience 🔥 

This isn’t a gimmick. It’s a real funding vehicle.

Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Submit a 5-minute application
2️⃣ Top startups get invited to regional in-person finals
3️⃣ Regional winners get funded
4️⃣ Global finalists compete for $1M

Just product, team, and ambition.

I know how cracked my founder audience is. If you’re building something serious, this is an asymmetric upside.

Don’t worry, we’ll be spotlighting strong applications from our side 😉 

I’ll personally be backing and pushing the strongest applications.

Apply. Swing big. Let’s fund one of you!

🚨 BREAKING: Google exec predicts mass extinction for LLM wrappers and aggregators

Google's AI boss just declared open season on hundreds of well-funded startups. Billions in VC money at risk as Google predicts LLM wrappers and AI aggregators won't survive.

The new AI gold rush may already be over for most.

Founders:
• Google says LLM wrappers face shrinking margins
• Aggregators can't differentiate - expect consolidation
• Only those with deep tech or data moats survive

This means the easy AI SaaS playbook is dead.

Is the AI market about to see a massive shakeout?

🚨 8.1 billion people on earth. 0.3% pay for AI. The opportunity is embarrassing

Let that sink in.

This chart shows the entire world population:
•⁠ ⁠Each dot ≈ 3.2 million people
•⁠ ⁠2,500 dots = 8.1B humans

Here’s the breakdown (Feb 2026):

◻️ ~6.8B (84%) — Never used AI
🟩 ~1.3B (16%) — Free chatbot users
🟨 ~15–25M (~0.3%) — Pay $20/month for AI
🟥 ~2–5M (~0.04%) — Use coding scaffolds / advanced AI tools

The loudest people on X, LinkedIn and in SF make it feel like AI is everywhere.

It’s not.

We’re in the absolute earliest innings.

That means:
•⁠ ⁠Distribution > model quality (for now)
•⁠ ⁠Education is still the bottleneck
•⁠ ⁠Most industries haven’t even started adapting
•⁠ ⁠The next wave isn’t better prompts — it’s better onboarding

The real opportunity isn’t building for the 0.04%.

It’s converting the 84%.

We’re not late. We’re pre-mass adoption.

Are you building for AI natives, or for the billions who haven’t touched it yet?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 🦞 8 Autonomous operatos to build the next generation of startups 👇 

The past few weeks with OpenClaw have been insane.

So I spent this week compiling the best OpenClaw founder use cases into one clean toolbox so you don’t have to.

The result?

I built 8 OpenClaw operators that can replace a big chunk of your early team (honestly, more than half if you deploy them right).

What’s inside (8 Operators):
 🦞 1) Autonomous SDR → finds ICP companies + sends personalized outreach
 🦞 2) Instant Inbound Response → replies to new leads in minutes
 🦞 3) Sales Continuity Engine → never lets a deal go cold
 🦞 4) Customer Support Layer → resolves routine tickets automatically
 🦞 5) AI CFO → tracks burn, runway, and models scenarios
 🦞 6) GTM Experiment Engine → turns tests into compounding intelligence
 🦞 7) Inbox Zero Manager → filters noise + enforces follow-ups
 🦞 8) Competitor Monitoring → detects strategic shifts early

For each operator, you get:
- The exact problem it solves
- The decision logic that makes it autonomous
- A full MASTER PROMPT you can copy and deploy

🚨 BREAKING: Creandum Founders says "𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙥𝙨 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚". I had to ask him why. This is his answer 👇

Staffan Helgesson (Founder Creandum) just shared one of the most important investing lessons most VCs still don’t understand:

Why many of the best companies look “uninvestable” at first
- How Trade Republic looked broken on paper before becoming a ~€12.5B company
- Why “uninvestable” usually does not mean bad, it means messy
-  The difference between a fatal flaw and a structural problem
- Why structural messiness can actually be the opportunity
- How exceptional founders can solve problems most investors run away from
- Why backing outliers often requires conviction, patience, and real work behind the scenes

This is one of those pieces that completely changes how you think about risk, founder quality, and what a great venture deal actually looks like.

Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/esuHzTGQ

And give the post some love to support Staffan 🔥

The pitch deck FLORA AI used to raise a massive $42M Series A from Redpoint Ventures and attract founders of Vercel, Frame io, and fal 🔥

FLORA just closed a $42M Series A (bringing total funding to $52M) led by Redpoint Ventures, with participation from Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Emery Wells (Frame io), and the founders of fal.

But here’s the real reason this deck stands out:
It doesn’t sell AI tools.
It sells a new creative default.

The deck is a masterclass in how to pitch an AI platform without competing on models.

Here’s what founders will learn from reading it:
- How to frame AI as a workflow shift, not a feature upgrade
- How to position yourself above models instead of being replaced by them
- How to use interface and product screenshots to communicate strategy
- How to pitch enterprise credibility without overexplaining
- How to make your product feel inevitable in a world where models commoditize

If you’re building in AI, creative tools, or infrastructure, this is one of the cleanest Series A decks you’ll see this year.

🚨BREAKING: Jack Dorsey just laid off 4,000 employees to AI.

Block cut nearly 40% of its workforce.

Not because the company is dying.
Not because revenue collapsed.

But because AI can now do what entire teams used to do.

Dorsey framed it as a strategic reset: fewer people, more leverage. Smaller teams powered by AI. Higher output per employee.

This is the real shift.

For 20 years, software made workers more productive.
Now AI makes companies need fewer workers.

Investors rewarded the move. The market understands what’s happening.

We are entering the era of:
• AI-native org charts
• 10x employees
• Teams designed around models, not headcount

Are we ready for what’s coming?

BREAKING: 𝗜'𝗺 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗖 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗘𝗧 𝗙𝗜𝗧 🔥  This is what you can get out of it 👇 

For years, the real craft of VC lived in private dinners, internal memos, partner meetings and backchannel WhatsApps.

Not because it was secret. Because access was limited.

The people who actually know how to build $1B+ companies don’t usually publish how they think.

Until now.

Today, we’re launching VC Market Fit 🚀

A daily platform where top investors behind Spotify, Klarna, Trade Republic, Mistral, Lovable, Mercor and more breakdown how they actually make decisions, spot winners and build billion-dollar companies.

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘅

Who's in this first batch 👇 

The Partners of Creandum: on of the earlies and top european VCs and some of the people that have impressed and inspired me the most in business:
- Staffan Helgesson, founder of Creandum
- Peter Specht
- Carl Fritjofsson
- Simon Schmincke 
- Fredrik Cassel

Some of the most impressive VCs and previous founders I've met: 
- Andrew Tan, founder of TLDR and GP at Humans
- Michael Stothard, founder of Sifted and principal in firstminute capital
- Jack Cantillon, founder of Green Room
- ⁠ Saran Davies, PhD, Investor at Moonfire 
- Jay Patel, investor at Picus Capital

This is venture from the source. Straight from the invesotrs:
• How they actually make investment decisions
• The exact frameworks they use internally
• How they think about AI, distribution and moats
• What founders consistently get wrong

The kind of insight that used to require a warm intro, a $50M fund, or a seat at the table.

🚨 What If AI Replaces 80% of Jobs by 2030?

There’s a video going viral on X right now:
By 2030, most people lose their jobs to AI.

So the solution?

EnergyGym: a dystopian startup where unemployed humans generate electricity on exercise bikes to power the very machines that replaced them.

It’s exaggerated. Black Mirror level.

But it’s touching a real conversation people are having?

What happens if:
1. AI automates most cognitive work
2. Robotics scales physical labor
3. Productivity becomes centralized in machines

Not “AI will take some jobs.”

But: What if it takes most of them?

The serious discussion isn’t about humans becoming batteries. It’s about purpose.

AI compresses the need for human labor…

How do we redesign society?

How do we create meaning in a world where intelligence is abundant and human labor isn’t scarce anymore.

Is this science or fiction?
