We’re in the biggest gold rush since the Dot Com era.

This ones bigger, faster, and open to everyone. Even non-coders.

But there’s a time limit. The barrier to entry is lower than ever.
People will realize & flood in. Fast.

The window to be early is closing, so build now.

Here’s how I’m approaching it:

  • Use AI to reduce investment (time & cost)

  • Place lots of small bets. (Yes, gamble more)

  • Double down on what works

    Here’s an example →

    1. Get product idea

    2. Use Cursor/Claude Code to launch landing page

    3. Find AI Automation for cold outreach(DMpro.ai 😉)

    4. Traction? Double down. No traction? Keep dreaming & testing new ideas fast.

Build more

Most ideas won’t hit. Few will.
If they do? Double down.

Those who take initiative will make life changing money. Stop scrolling, start building.

What’s one idea you could test this week?

Reply to this email and I’ll give you feedback and help where I can.

I’m rooting for you 🙂

Jars Updates

  1. Hosted my first Jars Founders Dinner. Had founders funded by YC, ODF & Unshackled. Bring together cool people, and cool things will happen. (Thanks Mo Barachi for the idea)

  2. Outbrand 

    1. Still doubling down on affiliates. Got an affiliate in my network onboarded through outreach without him knowing it was my product. (he knows now lol)

  3. DMpro

    1. Launching campaign to send 1 million+ cold DMs/month to acquire users.

  4. Saylo

    1. Launching email marketing & LinkedIn campaigns.

Bringing in people who do growth full-time to scale the portfolio faster.

Once that is perfected, more companies coming :)
