We're big fans of Tony Deden.

He doesn't do many interviews so this was a rare treat and a great conversation with him and @iancassel

Well worth a read... 👇

tech pricing = deflationary

If you add the current 4o-mini pricing to the chart, the drop in token pricing is 99.7% over last 18 months!

For everyone nervous about the real-time audio pricing being ~$120 / 1m tokens, take comfort in the below chart. This price will undoubtedly come down significantly! https://t.co/gmti8XHVHu - Jamin Ball

Elon Musk made Jack Dorsey a secret promise at the Twitter buyout to get Dorsey to roll his 2.4% stake

Musk promised to buy Dorsey out at the takeover price of $54.20 if Dorsey were to need it

With Twitter valuation now down ~80%, would Musk fulfill his promise at some point?
- Yes
- No

This is the Burger King New Location Strategy at work.

What's the BK strategy, you ask?
They let $MCD McDonald’s spend a bunch of money on new location market research, to figure out where they should build their next location. Burger King on the other hand simply pays close attention to where McDonald’s is putting up locations and then buys property nearby.

Launch is to YC...what Burger King is to Mcdonalds

Launch is simply accepting YC applications.
Zero cost but significantly improves their top of funnel.

Good for Founders.
Good for Launch.

Win-Win

If you send your YC application and/or rejection to yc@launch.co, my team will meet with you. If you make it to the second round of meetings, I get a deal memo about your vision.... and might invite you to come on the pod or set up a meeting!

yc and launch accept < 1%, so double your chances! - @jason
