What we are building will change how mission-critical software is built and verified Here's Rick & Morty to tell you all about @workersio

We had an incredible Setpember @wander GMV tripled in the quarter 60% faster performance and many more great features for guests and operators. Incredible things are in the works for October. We are well on our way to building the infrastructure to experience the world.

Intelligence is abundant, but economic intelligence is not Nations, frontier labs themselves, enterprises, and a small cohort of power users drive most of the demand for AI infrastructure today. The number of US households paying for an AI subscription is up 155% from 2025 to 2026, but this number is still only about 3% of all US households. There is so much potential value still yet to be seen from people using AI in their day to day lives. The recent trend in always-on personal intelligence optimizes for productivity, reducing spend, and participating in commerce. Not making money. There is not a clear outlet for people to use these agents to make money, rather than saving it. The vast majority of people will need to find a way to realize value from this rapidly evolving technology, and we believe that creating businesses is one of the major ways they will do so. Billions of people need a way to convert AI tokens into income. Today, Whop is introducing Economic Intelligence, a decision making system built from business actions spanning five years and over $7B of annual network volume on Whop. As models continue to become commoditized, it becomes clear that the context layer is where true value lies. Patterns between isometric businesses become have become more easily readable, allowing us to recommend the most optimal action a business should take to reach their next dollar.

A decade later, I’m starting up again. I sold my first company ten years ago and have spent the years since working as an engineer. Now I’m building @workersio as a solo-founder. We’re living in a new era where an agent can write software faster than a team of 100 engineers. As software becomes more autonomous, I want us to raise our expectations and take more responsibility for what we build along the way. Software can have a long half-life, and over time it becomes critical in ways we never planned for. Businesses, and sometimes lives, end up depending on decisions (or our agents) we make. For the longest time, building reliable & verifiably correct software systems required resources that only a few teams could afford. I want to make those capabilities widely accessible, especially as more teams take on ambitious problems and build more of their own software in-house. Our ambition is to make five nines of availability and verifiably correct the default for software in the agent era, so the software running our world becomes more dependable as it becomes more capable. I’m excited to share that we’ve raised from @ycombinator, @solofounders, and an incredible group of angels - @Joshuabrowder, @tylerwillis, @ericbluewatch, @gshewakr, @jaentwistle and some friends and customers. This is the mission I’m committing to for my next moonshot; I’m grateful to everyone helping me bring it to life. If this mission excites you, I’d love to hear from you. Whether you want to work with us, help us along the way, or exchange ideas about where software is headed, please reach out.

the american factory, in all it's glory

GMV for @Wander’s core operator product is pacing to grow 50% month-over-month.

We’re moving from asking, “What AI do you use?” to “What AI does your company run on?” to “What AI is running your company?” Today, we’re launching your @ company agent in Adapt. Your company’s own AI, branded with your name and deployable within minutes. Tag @ yourcompany in Slack and ask it to do the work. As we go through this change, it is important that a company owns its AI. Own the agent, @ yourcompany. Own the knowledge it builds. Own the model routing. Own the experience. The company agent is the durable layer. It gives your company access to the best frontier and open-weight models, choosing the right model for each task to balance quality, speed, and cost. When you tag @ yourcompany, you’re talking directly to your business through one front door. It learns how your company works, chooses the right model and skill, delegates work to specialized agents, and becomes more valuable as your company’s knowledge grows. A few things make this possible. It has to connect to every system your employees rely on, with the right access and permissions to understand the business and take action. It needs its own secure computer to write code, build apps, analyze data, operate software, and do the work. It has to be everywhere your people work. Web, Slack, iMessage, GitHub, and more. Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch articulated this perfectly when describing @ v, the internal company agent they built. “If agents become the foundation of modern companies, you being in complete control, from source to runtime to data to token, seems like a pretty big deal.” Every company will have its own @ company agent. Adapt is how you deploy yours. What AI is running your company?

space company orders metal at 9:32pm Aug 10 space company gets metal at 2pm Aug 11

I can't believe we already are up to a team of 35 techno industrialists. YC Demo Day was still only 11 months ago. We started official production 9.5 months ago. The company incorporated 12.5 months ago. So stoked and an awesome moment for the nox team in our new factory. This is an extremely earned moment for us.

General purpose AI struggles to actively convert human ingenuity into $$$ for the people Our CLI makes it dramatically easier to run several (10+) business at the same time (and actually find PMF + paying customers)

Whop is experiencing unprecedented growth; Daily ATHs at an astonishing YoY and MoM rate Gross transaction volume is now pushing $20M per day 10,000 is a low day for # businesses created # user signups are pushing 100,000 per day Much of our offensive growth product feature set that has been under development for the last 3 months has yet to be released publicly. Our platform is running at record high RPM and we need serious help If you have successfully solved ML prediction problems at scale, run ultra lean legal teams, or are a designer who wants their work to make a difference, message me steven@whop.com with a bulleted resume If obsessed with PNL and unit economics, with experience driving outcomes at scale, ping me as well 🚀

.@wander is on pace to 2.5x marketplace inventory m/m for july

just the start

Starcloud has been selected by @NASA as one of 37 companies (the only space-data center company) to advance Moon and Mars technology! 🚀 @Starcloud_ msn.com/en-us/news/technolog…

I sent this to the entire @wander team on my first day (80 days ago). Since then we've: - Opened an SF and Austin HQ - Increased our growth rate by 700% MoM - Raised additional capital - Dramatically improved product quality and velocity - Hired S-tier GTM and Eng talent In person >>>> Remote

Nox Metals exists so America can build 100x more factories and technologically abundant industrial capacity in the West. We are announcing our $11.5M Seed round led by Hyperion, with participation from Palmer Luckey, Y Combinator, Jared Friedman, RoboStrategy, Operator Collective, DTX, Alumni Ventures, and others. Over the past few decades, America has neglected domestic production. We lost our dominating ability to build in the world of atoms while jobs on the factory floor plummeted. It's time to build for America again. As our grandparents once did. Since launching production only 7 months ago, we have shipped metal to hundreds of American factories. Countless truckloads to America's industrial base. And we are no where near slowing down. Our metal has gone to space. It has protected our troops. It is in your car and in the machine that scanned your chest. It is all around us. And we can't stop supplying at warp speeds, because America needs it. We will be revitalizing a WW2 era, 35,000 SQFT factory in Detroit this summer where we will have our techno industrialists working hard to further pursue our mission. We will be tripling down on technology, which has allowed us to move this fast for America thus far. More code. More machines. More metal. More production.

Excited to share that @wander is about to be an "overnight" success.

NOX METALS BUY BUTTON IS NOW LIVE GO MAKE MORE PARTS IN AMERICA

slowly, then suddenly @wander

This morning I sat down with @HarryStebbings for the spiciest podcast I have ever done. We are both 29, English entrepreneurs, who went global (me physically and him metaphorically, building the @twentyminutevc International Media Brand). Airing soon! Stay tuned!
