Hosting a private Diwali evening with A.R. Rahman in SF. - Only 50 people in the room. Curated group of founders, investors and artists. - I'll be moderating a panel discussion with ARR and @krandiash (founder, @cartesia) on 'future of creativity in the AI age' - A surprise release by Rahman and @rajavignesh (cofounders of Secret Mountain) Diwali can't get bigger than this! Super excited.

AI teams overpay for inference twice: once for models bigger than they need, and again for idle capacity they don’t use. @useRouterPlus is the extended inference team for fast-growing AI companies. We test models and providers on your traffic and get providers to compete for your work. Make your inference better. Go to routerplus.com

this one's been a long time coming 👀 TPF Product (Un)Conference '26 is happening. powered by Anthropic and Replit, 350+ builders in one room, and over $1M in AI credits for attendees last year was wild tbh. you really don't want to hear about this one after it's over RSVP: theproductfolks.com/product-…

483 days ago, @5aitec and I raised $20M from @binnybansal to build ShopOS Millions of brand images and videos later we learned: the model was never the hard part. Getting it right the 10,000th time is Today, we’re launching @sloosh_ai to give every creator that secret sauce 👇

Most companies overpay for inference. On Routerplus, providers bid for your traffic and we get you the best offer for your workload. You get better latency, throughput, and uptime at a fraction of the cost. Thinking of open models? Think routerplus.com

🚨hiring - founding designers been spending time with bunch of AI founders & almost everyone is hiring good designers :D what do the roles offer: - ai-native companies from day 0 - solid founders with at least 1-round of funding raised - fast learning curve as they all are scaling fast what do they look for: - experience in ai/agentic design workflows - comfortable working with founders & customers directly - fluency across major design/ai tools - b2b/enterprise experience preferred - exceptional design taste 📍BLR full time roles 💰- top tier for a good candidate do DM me in case this is you/you know someone!
🚨launching ‘the third door’ cuz’ the best careers aren’t built through the front door was clearing my inbox last month and one thing that i did over the last few months that i am really proud of making over 600+ intros (not ai, handwritten.) founders looking for the most talented & ambitious folks. 🤝 builders looking for their next dream role same loop, week after week. so here comes - the third door 🚪 a small way to keep bridging that gap if you're exploring, feel free to DM. bunch of founders looking for top talent. if you're not, share it along w a friend who might benefit. with just one goal over the next 7 months via @theproductfolks making the world a smaller place. one intro at a time. 🤞 PS: been wanting to do this for years. tag a friend who'd benefit from this or reshare for karma ❤️

you bet :) we help you get the best inference there is -- at the best price possible DM me or reach out at cal.com/team/routerplus/plat… to talk with our team
Founders: Are you on text with your business customers? Met with a startup founder who had just been texting his largest customer (which informed him over text that they were rolling out the product more broadly). Texting with your best accounts is a sign of strong, trusted relationships. In fact, if you're NOT texting, it means that the relationship is not strong enough. Get on text!
