I got invites, let me know if you need one.
Excited to introduce @Cosign: the curated professional network for the startup community: cosign.co
Our goal is to create the following:
- A comprehensive startup directory of investors, companies, and operators, including what they worked on and who they worked on it with.
- Cosign graph: Who shaped your career? Who were you actually in the trenches with? Who would work with you again? Who thinks you’re someone to watch?
- Durable reputation: Great endorsements happen every day on X and disappear into the feed. Cosign attaches those signals permanently to people and companies.
- Discovery: Who are the best fintech angels? Which AI companies should I watch? Who are the best designers?
- Intent network: Privately signal “I’d invest in them,” “I’d hire them,” “I’d work with them,” or eventually even “I’d acquire this company.” Match people when interest exists on both sides.
Imagine if Wikipedia, LinkedIn, and OG AngelList had a baby. Though Cosign is a community, not a business.
In order to join, you need to be cosigned. Or you can apply directly.
David Booth and I started this idea 7 years ago but didn’t have the firepower to make it work. Now we do.
No one has really touched LinkedIn in 20 years. Excited to take a swing.

Thought I'd try out one shotting a video on @KemetTrading with opus 5.5. One prompt + 10 mins of waiting produced this. Unbelievable.
Crazy times ahead.
Who's the best iOS designer you know? Working on something and I want someone with real taste. For reference, I run @KemetTrading, we clear billions in volume every month for some of the largest trading desks in the world touching crypto options.

Who's building an app for chatgpt + Amazon? Think asking AI to find reccs from the internet (reddit, twitter, quora etc.), locate them on amazon and initiate a one-click buy on my account. Better yet, why hasn't amazon rolled this experience out already?
