Microsoft only raised $1M before their IPO, and built one of the most valuable companies in history. And that makes me think that at some point people are gonna have to ask themselves: from what point does a startup stop…

How we scaled Retell to $60M ARR with $5M raised We always had opportunities to raise more. We chose not to. From the beginning, we built the company around a small set of principles we weren't willing to compromise on…

OpenAI just recognized us for passing 1 trillion tokens. We are one of the handful companies who've hit 1 trillion tokens. For me, it's a proof that we've been building the right things (so far). And the right things…

We fired our biggest customer in early 2024, when we were doing ~$2M in revenue. Our numbers took a big hit. They were paying well, and their business helped us survive while we were still figuring out who we were. The…

$1.5 million, that’s Retell's revenue per employee. And it’s possible because we’re living in the age of the super ICs. Historically, even the best people eventually hit a throughput ceiling. Companies had to add analy…

I don’t hire for experience. I think it is overrated. What has worked at Retell is almost the opposite. We give people challenges they have never handled before, and almost every time they surprise us. No playbook from…

Perception is more real than reality. Reality is messy, half-built, and difficult to relate to. People rarely act on raw reality. They act on what they believe it could become. This is especially true when building a c…

Some of the smartest people I know have one career-limiting weakness: they hate looking stupid. I used to think IQ was 80% of the game. Building a company changed my mind. Intelligence matters. There is a baseline belo…

One of the biggest problems with AI is that it has made bad thinking look intelligent. You see it everywhere now. Open LinkedIn, Twitter, a product website, a sales proposal, or even a PRD. The writing is usually phenom…

Steve Jobs built the Macintosh with a team of “pirates.” He believed it was better to be a pirate than join the Navy. The Macintosh team worked from a separate building and even flew a pirate flag with the Apple logo as…

You would be fired if you managed a product the way most people manage their lives. Imagine a PM hearing about a problem for the first time, picking the first solution that comes to mind and asking the team to start dev…

Every product you sell is two products at once. There is the one that wins the deal, narrated by the person who knows exactly which buttons to press. And there is the one that has to survive the renewal, running unattend…

Ten years ago the hard part of building a startup was raising money. Now the hard part is not raising too much of it. A team with no money faces the same question every quarter: what's the one thing we can ship that kee…

Half the PMs will not have jobs in two years. The other half will be the most valuable people in their companies. The thing separating them has nothing to do with prompting, vibe coding, or learning a new tool. For year…

I don't get why so many B2B founders keep repeating “ship fast and break things.” That advice came out of consumer software, where the worst-case scenario is usually a user closing your app. In B2B, your users build th…
