If you don’t want to work on weekends, someone who loves what they’re building more than you do will.
And they’ll mog you big time.
Revolut's (@Revolut) Nik Storonsky (@NikStoronsky) says working weekends is a must
"Purely statistical"
when he started, there were 140 startups around him. 5 years later, 3 survived
"They all worked on weekends"
10 years in, only 2 were left
"how can you outcompete people who work nine to nine, 6 days a week?"

Weekend work for founders: must or myth?

Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky says easy money makes soft founders:
“A lot of founders think money is free, which it almost is in California because you can raise so much money at ridiculous valuations and then just spend.”
“There is a different culture of trying to solve problems with money rather than with your brains.”
I have been asked an unhealthy number of times how big the creator monetization industry is, and how big it can get…
Again, It’s this bigggggg 😁
Whop has raised $200M in Series D funding at a $5.1B valuation, backed by @sequoia and @shopify.
It really feels like we are barely touching the tip of the iceberg in a market larger than anyone can imagine.
We first launched Whop as a better way for us to sell sneaker bots, one of the most niche types of desktop software out there.
Total TAM? Probably $20,000 per day.
Who cares, tiny market.
But, what people discounted is the idea that there were actually 70,000 other markets exactly like that one.
Beyond the investment itself, I am especially excited to welcome legendary silicon valley investor @dougleone to our board of directors. Doug and the sequoia team are nothing but a brilliant, resourceful, and principled group of people.
My co-founder Cameron and I started building on Shopify when we were 13 years old. Shopify is one of the most impactful all-in-one cloud ecosystems ever created; @tobi has pioneered modern entrepreneurship the way we know it and we are thrilled to have him in our corner.
We have a tenet at Whop to be the dumbest in the room and I am very grateful that this has recently become a lot easier.
We are focused on markets, scale economies, and progressive media. If that is up your alley, please message me directly.
The $200M raised will support our expansion as we build economic infrastructure for the next century, continuing on our mission of delivering everyone an income.
Congratulations, Steven.
We are coming 🤞

Spoke to a couple of users just last month and this was one of the core pieces of feedback we had even as they shared their testimonials.
Shared it with product & engineering and less than two weeks later, the team is actively working towards shipping this already.

Most companies take two weeks to do what @elonmusk does in an hour. Elon hired a machinist, negotiated his salary, and had him start — all in one conversation. On a Saturday at 6 PM.
