An angel investor's take on life and business

  • How I Get a 200x ROI on My AI Spend With My New Agent Swarm

    I’m making a 200x ROI on my AI spend. What would take two Filipino EA’s and cost $72,000 runs on Supergrok for $30 a month. Here’s how I do it…

    A Peek Inside My Agent Stack

    I use a combination of Grok Automations, Grok Bot and Instinct to automate as much scut work as possible:

    • Prep for meetings
    • Draft emails
    • Research startups I’m considering investing in
    • Search for top early stage companies
    • Find YC founders with extraordinary backgrounds
    • Edit my blog
    • Find follow-on investors for my companies
    • Flag startups behind on updates
    • Book travel
    • Find deals on major purchases

    My Agents Are Doing the Work of Two Smart Humans

    This is so much work, it would take two EA’s to handle it.

    On Athena, that would run $72,000 a year. If I wanted to hire Americans, total comp would be closer to $200,000.

    Even at the lower Filipino rates, my $360/year Supergrok subscription is giving me 200x ROI.

    And I’m not done building! I just made some tweaks to my email bot to make it far more powerful.

    My Agents Are Saving Me Hours of Drudgery

    Yesterday, I opened my inbox. To my horror, I saw 60 messages.

    What to do?

    But as I opened each thread, I noticed that my agent had drafted a great reply. I was able to use most of them with no edits.

    I never let AI send a message. But just queuing up drafts saves me hours.

    I was able to churn through those 60 messages in just 14 minutes. This would’ve taken 1-2 hours without AI.

    Nothing Will Stop a 200X ROI

    If you can get 200x ROI, there is no stopping the AI buildout. The business case is too strong.

    The data centers will go somewhere. Trying to stop them will be a game of whack-a-mole.

    Block them in Texas and they pop up in Utah…or Abu Dhabi. And within the next decade, they’ll be in space.

    My Automations Aren’t Taking Away Jobs

    “Francis, you just cost two people their jobs!” Are you shouting at your screen right now?

    Truth is, I was never going to spend $72,000 on virtual assistants.

    I just would’ve worked much harder and accomplished far less.

    AI Is Helping Me Expand My Business

    Automation lets you expand your business. I’m meeting more founders than ever because agents handle the email and meeting prep.

    On Monday, I met 7 founders back-to-back.

    I rarely did that before AI. The prep for all those meetings would’ve been too time consuming.

    Wrap-Up

    AI is letting me meet more founders. Other early adopter companies will grow with AI too.

    Some jobs will be disrupted. But big picture, AI will make us richer and make our lives better.

    Now, let’s build some more agents. 👀

  • Why FOMO Backfires on Founders

    “This is your last chance to invest.” Whenever I hear that, I cross the company off my list.

    Occasionally, a founder tries to FOMO me.

    I understand why they do it. They need to close the round.

    But this technique works against you. In 5.5 years investing, every founder who tried to FOMO me shared one trait.

    They had nothing else to sell.

    You would think the most successful founders would be the ones to amp up the FOMO. Wrong.

    The best founders just present information. You’re in or out.

    It’s the weak founders that rely on FOMO.

    Any investor with a modicum of experience will see right through it. Your chance of getting a check will go to zero.

    So, if you shouldn’t rely on FOMO, what should a founder in a tough position do?

    If you’re getting mostly no’s, you need to improve the position of your business.

    Getting more customers will help you get investors. Telling investors they’re “about to miss out on something big” or “losing out on a really hot deal” doesn’t help.

    FOMO turns off knowledgeable investors. But can you use it profitably on newbies?

    Maybe. But you don’t want those people in your round.

    Say you grab a few angel checks from noobs using FOMO. If your company struggles at any point, those people will make your life a living hell.

    They don’t understand that all startups struggle and 90% go to 0.

    Experienced investors do.

    We’re a little harder to pin down. But once we’re in, we’re in.

    So the next time you’re tempted to FOMO an investor, stop.

    Instead, present your pitch calmly. Rely on facts.

    If they like it, great. If not, move on.

    And if you want to increase your odds, focus on building a better business. That will get you a lot further than FOMO.

  • Meet My Latest Investment: Fastyr, Your AI Employee

    I just used a product that blew me away. The last time I had this feeling, the company hit $1 billion ARR. So of course, I had to place a bet.

    The company is called Fastyr. They create AI employees.

    I know you’ve heard this before, but these AIs really do feel like human beings.

    I interviewed two of them myself, one for sales and one for customer success. It felt like I was talking to not just a human, but a very smart human.

    These AI employees are working with customers like mortgage brokers (loan origination), marketing agencies, consultancies and environmental inspection.

    No wonder Fastyr is growing like crazy. They recently announced that they went from $1 million to $10 million ARR in just 3 months.

    Two things really struck me about founder Damon Guzman: his ambition and his excitement.

    Damon makes every decision to maximize upside. And whenever he talks about his work, I can hear the excitement in his voice and see it on his face.

    I look for founders doing something they really love. If you’re excited, you work harder, and have better results.

    Fastyr has an opportunity to grab a significant portion of white-collar labor spend. That’s the biggest market on Earth.

    This will let human beings offload the boring work. It’ll also make it easier to start your own company.

    Check out Fastyr and start automating your business!

  • Guest Post: Two Kids From Maine Walk Into a Library

    I look for founders that are building they care about. It’s the only way that they’ll work like crazy for 10 years and get to an exit!

    An excellent example of that is my friend Jesse Bray. He grew up with a love of reading, as did I.

    Now he’s created a wonderful new app called Inklings to help children learn to read.

    I’ll let Jesse tell you the rest…

    This week I sent my friend Francis Santora a press release before anyone else on Earth saw it. That’s not a distribution strategy. That’s just where Francis sits in my life.

    His reply floored me. He told me he’d had no idea I grew up in a small town in Maine — because when he was little, he lived in Hartland, Maine, and going to the library was really important for him too. “It was a window into the outside world,” he said.

    Two kids from Maine. Two small libraries. The same window.

    Francis and I met on X, of all places, and became friends. He said yes to my little podcast, Inklings Behind the Scenes, before I had anything to show for it — more than once. But the podcast was only the doorway. What Francis really gave me was straightforward truth when it would have been easier to tell me what I wanted to hear. He taught me to take the feelings out, wave off the fanciful letters of intent, and build on real traction. More than a few bad investors lost their grip on me because Francis was in my corner, sharpening the story.

    That’s the only way anything I’ve made since has gotten built: one brick at a time.

    Here’s why that’s not just a slogan for me. I grew up homeless, and I’m dyslexic. When I was a kid in Maine, a small library outside Sanford was my sanctuary — the one place where the world got quiet and the words, eventually, started to make sense. Everything I’ve built since is me trying to hold that door open for the next kid standing where I stood. You don’t hold a door like that with one grand gesture. You do it brick by brick, or you don’t do it at all.

    So let me show you the wall, top down.

    The biggest brick is Inklings Book Club (https://mrbray.com/inklings-book-club) — a reading app I built library-first. One hundred public-domain books, excerpts and quizzes across six reading levels, and kids get in with a library card. No ads. No dark patterns. Free forever for kids and libraries — sponsors fund the build, and a sponsor’s logo never touches a child. Sixteen founding library partners have signed on, from The Ferguson Library in Stamford, Connecticut to one-room libraries in Utah and Oklahoma, and we’re building directory pages for the more than 5,000 libraries that have never had a digital presence at all.

    And this week’s brick — the one in the press release I sent Francis first — is a storybook about a stink bug named Poe.

    Poe is a curmudgeon. I want to be clear about that up front, because most children’s books aren’t. Poe tries on six hats — a cowboy hat, a builder’s hard hat, a chef’s hat, a top hat, a bowler, a birthday hat — convinced the next one will finally fix him. None of them do. And here’s the part I care about most: Poe does not end the story sweet. He ends it every bit the grumpy gus he started as. What changes is smaller and truer — he gets content being himself, hat or no hat.

    Your value doesn’t come from what you wear, but who you are. That’s the whole book.

    A Perfect Hat for Poe (https://mrbray.com/a-perfect-hat-for-poe) is free online — an interactive storybook that comes alive page by page, narrated by my friend Bill Dillmeier. It was funded by a Kickstarter campaign, and every single backer is named in the credits, because people who believe early deserve to be remembered in the thing itself.

    I didn’t plan the symmetry of this week — that a friendship built on candor would turn out to be rooted in two small Maine libraries. I couldn’t have planned it. But I’ll take it as a sign the wall’s going up in the right place.

    So here’s my ask, and it’s a small one: go read Poe. It’s free, it takes a few minutes, and there’s a grumpy stink bug in it who might be the most honest character I’ve ever made. Then, if you’ve got one, take a kid to a library this week. Get them a card. Hold the door the way somebody once held it for Francis and for me.

    One brick at a time.

    — Jesse Bray, Founder, Mr. Bray Labs

    A Perfect Hat for Poe: https://mrbray.com/a-perfect-hat-for-poe

    Inklings Book Club: https://mrbray.com/inklings-book-club

    I hope you enjoyed my friend Jesse’s story! If you’re looking for a startup idea, try building in an area that’s deeply meaningful to you.

    If you create value for others, you’ll capture some for yourself. And you’ll have a whole lot more fun doing it.

  • Three Things I Hate Seeing in Founder Meetings

    Here are 3 mistakes I hate seeing in founder meetings…

    1. Don’t Be Late. Whenever somebody is late to a meeting they asked for, I shake my head.

    It really detracts from your message. Instead of paying attention to your pitch, the investor is thinking about the fact that you weren’t on time.

    Sometimes things are out of our control. But do your best to be punctual.

    I like to be a couple minutes early.

    2. Don’t Forget to Prepare. “Can you remind me how we got connected?”

    A lot of investors do this too. But whichever side of the table you’re on, not preparing for meetings is unacceptable.

    If you don’t know who you’re talking to, how will you have a meaningful conversation?

    You don’t have to know everything about them. But you should have a basic idea who they are.

    I built an agent to prep me for my meetings. Feel free to steal it — link here.

    3. Don’t Use Wi-Fi. Nothing kills a pitch faster than a spotty connection. Make sure you’re connected via Ethernet, not Wi-Fi.

    Wi-Fi can cause momentary slowdowns. If you’re just browsing, you wouldn’t even notice.

    But in a video call, it can show up as hitches in the video.

    You don’t want any distractions. Turn off your Wi-Fi and plug an Ethernet cable into your computer.

    If you have a MacBook Air, like I do, there’s no Ethernet port. Get an adapter that fits into the micro USB slot.

    I recommend an Anker — mine never fails.

    Wrap-Up

    If you get the little things right, the big things take care of themselves.

    You might not always pitch your company perfectly. But being on time, prepared, with a stable connection are factors under your control.

    Make sure they’re working in your favor.

    If you put your best foot forward, you might find investors pulling out that checkbook.

  • Stop Talking So Much in Meetings: 4 Techniques from 1,000 Founder Calls

    I’ve done over 1000 founder meetings. I use 4 techniques in every call. Try them in your own meetings, and watch your results improve…

    1. Be well prepared. “So, remind me how we got connected?” Whenever someone starts a meeting this way, all the energy goes out of the conversation.

    You can’t have a great call if you don’t know who you’re talking to.

    I have an agent that does my prep for me. It goes through my inbox and searches the internet for information about the person. Then it collates all of this into a summary.

    I have pasted the skill.md file into this blog post. Feel free to steal it!

    2. Don’t talk too much. If you’re doing all the talking and you think the meeting’s going well, I guarantee you’re wrong.

    The other person is sitting there, smiling politely, wondering when this ear beating will end.

    I use Fathom to track how much I talk. Periodically during the meeting, it pops up a little window that says 10%, 40%, etc.

    My best meetings happen when I talk at most 40% of the time. When I see that creeping up toward 50% and beyond, I know to shut up.

    “Show up and throw up” is the worst sales technique there is. Every meeting should be a conversation.

    3. Let the silence do the work. When I ask a question, sometimes a founder doesn’t respond right away. I never jump in and try to answer it.

    Instead, I let the silence do the work.

    Give them time to think. Show them you really want to hear their answer.

    Yesterday, I met with an outstanding founder who has a stutter. Being quiet while he forms sentences was especially important.

    4. Repeat key points in your own words. “I’m going to put the vision for ABC Corp. into one sentence in my own words. Tell me where I’m wrong, and we’ll see if I understand.”

    If you’ve ever met with me, you know that’s one of the first things I say.

    Just because you think you understand doesn’t mean you do.

    Rephrase key points in your own words. Ask them to confirm.

    You’re making sure you fully understand. You’re also showing you really care about what they’re saying.

    That goes a long way to building a relationship!

    Wrap-Up

    Whether you’re an investor meeting founders, a founder pitching VCs, or anybody selling anything, you can use these 4 techniques.

    If you do them consistently, you will make more sales.

    Rookies “show up and throw up.” Veterans have a real conversation.

    Try using my 4 techniques in your next meeting. Then leave a comment and let me know how it went!

  • When It’s Okay for Investors to Add Zero Value

    When is it okay for an investor to add zero value? When the expectations are clear upfront.

    Setting Expectations At the First Meeting

    We investors love to crow about our value add. But not every investor needs to help startups.

    Just be clear from the first meeting what kind of investor you are.

    “You will never hear from me. If you message me, your email will go into the great beyond.”

    If a founder hears that and still takes your money, they know what to expect. They know you’re just cash.

    And that’s okay!

    Some founders actually prefer that. They don’t want to waste time with meddlesome investors.

    This is especially true for experienced founders. They don’t need much help.

    Why I Try to Help Founders

    Personally, I like to be involved with the startups I invest in.

    It’s fun! Just wiring money and waiting is boring.

    I also want to improve the odds of success for my investments. When I introduce them to VCs or retweet their posts, that can give them a little push.

    From day one, I make it clear that I’m available to help anytime, day or night. I give founders my cell number and encourage them to use it.

    But not every investor needs to be like me!

    Money Alone Is Enough

    We investors all think we have some unique value add. But let’s be honest: the main value we add is cash.

    An investor’s job is to invest.

    When founders contact us, they’re mostly interested in money. They may pretend otherwise to flatter us, but the truth is they need cash.

    Don’t feel that you have to add additional value.

    If you enjoy helping founders, by all means do so! But don’t claim you’re going to add value just to sound good.

    What’s Not Okay: Broken Promises

    Here’s what’s not okay: talking a big game about being helpful, then disappearing.

    Unfortunately, that’s what most investors do — even of some of the biggest names.

    I heard a story about one of the most famous early stage investors. I won’t say his name.

    This guy can take 3 months to respond to an e-mail.

    Ridiculous!

    An investor like that should just be honest: “I’m not going to help you or even reply. We will never speak again. Farewell.”

    Wrap-Up

    “We go the extra mile for our founders!”

    How many times have you heard that? How often has it turned out to be BS?

    Let’s be honest, folks: the minute they wire the money, most VCs have delivered 100% of their value.

    And that’s not a bad thing! But the expectations should be clear.

    If you say you’re going to help, do it. And if you’re not, be honest about that.

    More than any “value add,” founders need honesty.

  • Obscene Growth, 3x ARR: Why Investing Today Can Be Cheaper Than Ever

    Ridiculous growth. 3x ARR. I keep seeing this combo in today’s market. Here’s why…

    Why High Growth Companies Can Be Dirt Cheap

    It comes down to AI driving incredible growth.

    A hot startup goes out to raise. They sign a term sheet at 10-20x ARR.

    But funding rounds take months to close. In the meantime, the company grows like crazy.

    What was a deal at 10-20x becomes 3-4x ARR.

    Founders: Stick to the Deal

    If you’re a founder, here’s how to play this: just close the deal.

    Yes, it’s a bonanza for investors.

    But a deal is a deal. Honor your agreement.

    If you try to re-trade, you could lose the deal entirely.

    Worse yet, this will affect your reputation in the industry. Startupland is a small world.

    By the same token, if growth slows down after issuing a term sheet, investors should never retrade the terms.

    An Incredible Time to Be Investing

    For investors, this means the deals we’re doing today will be historic.

    No one has ever seen growth like this. And the multiples look like something out of the dotcom crash.

    It also means that if a company is growing really fast, we can afford to pay a higher multiple. That multiple is likely to compress significantly by the time we wire.

    Wrap-Up

    Investing today is so much better than when I started in 2021.

    Tourist VCs were doing deals in $10 million ARR startups at 100x revenues. Those companies were growing 3x year over year at best.

    Today, we do deals at a fraction of that multiple. These startups are growing like nothing in the history of business.

    I’m loading up on as many of these companies as I can. Good deals don’t last.

  • Take These 3 Things Out of Your Pitch Right Now

    Here are 3 things I hate seeing in startup pitches…

    Letters of Intent

    Also known as Letters of Nothing! Whenever I hear a founder talking about letters of intent, it’s hard not to roll my eyes.

    These letters are not enforceable. Odds are you’ll never see the millions they promise.

    If you don’t have revenue, LOIs are not a valid substitute.

    I would rather just hear you say “we don’t have any revenue”. At least you don’t sound delusional.

    Advisors

    The most useless slide in a deck is the advisor slide. It’s always a bunch of guys in suits I’ve never heard of.

    The people who will make your company a success work full time at the company. Popping in for a couple hours a month isn’t going to do much for you.

    If you want to have a few advisors help you on the margins, that’s fine. But leave it out of your pitch.

    Awards

    “We won best startup at the Eastern Idaho Regional Startup Fair!”

    Good for you. But leave it out of your pitch.

    Investors want to back unicorns, not “award-winning startups.” Unless that award came with a check, you can stick it in a drawer and forget it.

    The real wins are in the marketplace: customers giving you money.

    Wrap-Up

    Whenever you mention LOIs, advisors, or awards in your pitch, you waste time.

    You tell me you don’t have anything better to sell. And worst of all, you tell me you don’t know what’s important.

    Stick to what matters: team, product, and customers. If you’re focused on what counts, you have the chance to build an incredible business.

  • Request for Startups: Synthetic Diesel, Climate-Proof Coffee, and an Email Bot That Actually Sounds Like You

    Diesel is over $6 a gallon. Coffee is through the roof. AI slop emails chase me in my dreams. Each of these problems is an opportunity for a startup.

    Here are 3 types of startups I’m looking for now…

    Synthetic Diesel

    Diesel is $6.29 a gallon at the gas station near my house. That’s up a good $2 since the war with Iran began.

    I live in an urban area, so I don’t need a car. But since everything we buy arrives in a diesel truck, the price of diesel affects us all.

    What if we could create synthetic diesel in unlimited quantities? We could use crops like corn. Or maybe the synthetic diesel would come entirely from other chemicals.

    Several companies are working on synthetic diesel. The big hurdle is making synthetic for less than real diesel.

    If a startup can pull this off, it will be one of the world’s largest companies.

    Coffee for All Climates

    One of my favorite things in life is my morning coffee. When I take my first sip, all is right with the world.

    But have you noticed how expensive coffee is getting?

    A lot of it is because of heat and drought in Latin America. Coffee plants like moderate temperatures and substantial rain.

    But what if we could breed coffee plants that would grow in any climate? Genetic engineering techniques like CRISPR could help make plants resistant to drought and heat.

    Nestle is working on this, among other companies. But nothing is widely available yet.

    With the right type of plant, we could grow coffee right here in America. Your morning cup would cost a fraction of what it does today.

    An Email Drafting Tool That Actually Works

    When I’m drinking that morning coffee, I’m usually going through my email. Lately, AI has made that a lot easier.

    I used Grok to build a bot that drafts emails for me. I can use about half the drafts it generates, which saves me a ton of time.

    There many tools that claim to draft emails. But none of them worked for me. The responses didn’t make sense in context and didn’t sound like me.

    So instead, I built my own bot. I gave it examples of different categories of emails I receive and example responses.

    Most people don’t have the patience or skills to build their own email bot. We need a bot that will go through your inbox, categorize the different message type, and draft replies.

    A good email bot could go massively viral.

    Wrap-Up

    When I’m trying to dream up promising startups, I look at the problems I see every day. If we can fix them, someone will pay us!

    Diesel is at record highs. Coffee is right behind it. And AI means we’re getting more emails than ever.

    Solve these everyday problems, and you have a fantastic business.

    So if you’re building in one of these three areas, shoot me a message! My DMs are always open.
