@starter_story

Here's the thing...

Because of AI, you no longer need to learn:

Swift
Typescript
NextJS
Javascript
or Tailwind

You just need to learn HOW TO BUILD SOFTWARE, which has way more to do with:

good ideas
product
design
UX
customers

And this is exactly what we teach in https://t.co/tV3Q3QPiFR

If your startup is low on cash, here's how to pitch VCs like a pro founder:

To: Investor

Subject Line: Your Full Name & WhatsApp Number

I'm the CEO of [Startup], we launched [x] months ago. Our traction is [x], we are growing like [x], our margins are [x], our customers are [x].

Because of your investment in [x company], I believe you would be interested in the round we are raising currently.

What do you think?

Best,

🚨 tool launch #5

a sure-shot way to find your next $100k mrr startup idea

I’ve built and sold two startups for $8m & today, I run 5 startups doing $700k+ mrr

none of them came from dreaming, trends, or idea docs

every one started the same way:

by reading what people were actually complaining about - their frustrations, what they couldn’t get done, and what tools were letting them down

the problem with this strategy was that I was doing this manually across forums and platforms, and it was...

@EXM7777

why the fuck are you all throwing $200/month at single-feature SaaS...?

building your own private version instead of drowning in subscriptions is probably the smartest move you can make right now

it takes 2-3hrs in Claude Code to clone a single-feature SaaS that people easily charge $30/month for

if your hourly rate is above that i don't see why you'd keep paying

(and you'd learn a lot in the process)

You can get lucky once, maybe twice, but 5 times?

HELL NO.

@levelsio

💸 This month my @X payouts reached a new record just a 5 cents shy of $16,000!

I think something might have changed as they announced they'd pay creators and counts views in a different way, I think it worked:

$12,819 ad rev share
$1,865 subs revenue
(= $14,684 per 28 days)

= $15,995/month

Posting on X is finally becoming a real potential income stream 😊👍

This is getting close to passing some of my businesses in revenue which is very cool to see!

MORE FEATURES ARE KILLING YOUR STARTUP

This guy makes $250K/month with LESS FEATURES THAN YOU.

Instead of adding more features, he ruthlessly removes them.

And instead, focuses on what users ACTUALLY care about:

> UX
> Simplicity
> "Is this easy to use?"

UX > features > code https://t.co/iY9C3DyUFa

This guy makes $4.5M/year selling B2B Shopify apps.

Not from ads.
Not from TikTok short form.
Not from building endless features.

But instead, he mastered one platform with millions of users.

And built something people were already searching for.

  1. He picked the right keyword (“bundles”)
  2. Optimized for 5-star reviews
  3. And just built something ppl needed

Platform strategy > product strategy > code

nobody’s gonna tell you this, so i will.

building a business is a beautiful thing.

but it breaks the moment you do it for anyone but yourself.

if you do it:

you lose all leverage.

it's really simple, just build something you enjoy waking up every day and making progress on

if you do this, everything will click into place in a way that is far bigger than dollars.

I'm a huge fan of HYPER REALISM in youtube thumbnails.

I think crazy designed, cartoonish thumbnails USED to be a signal of effort (think Mr. Beast etc) because they cost a lot of time and money to make.

But now they can be generated with AI in less than a minute.

So this is something we're testing this year at starter story.

My hypothesis is that taking and using a real photo is a subtle signal to viewers that this is real and not AI slop, which will improve CTR. More data to come.

Opportunity Signals


AI Disruption Opportunities


Acuity Scheduling

Appointment scheduling software ideal for service businesses with client management features.[3][5]

AI presents a moderate to high disruption opportunity for Acuity Scheduling, a robust but integration-heavy platform reliant on manual setup and third-party tools for advanced automation, by enabling fully conversational, predictive scheduling that eliminates configuration overhead.[1][2][9]

100 G2 reviews • 15/20 score G2 →


Zoho Projects

Budget-friendly tool with time tracking, task dependencies, and Gantt charts for smaller teams.[1]

Zoho Projects faces low disruption risk from AI due to its established AI integrations like Zia, which already automate key project management tasks and position it as an AI-enhanced rather than legacy tool. The platform's 13+ years of in-house AI development, including predictive analytics, risk forecasting, and agentic features in the 2026 Zoho One bundle, embed AI natively across workflows[1][3][2].

100 G2 reviews • 14/20 score G2 →


Calendly

Simple scheduling tool for automating meetings and appointments with calendar integrations.[3][5]

AI presents a high disruption opportunity for Calendly by automating beyond basic scheduling into intelligent qualification, optimization, and revenue conversion, potentially commoditizing Calendly's core value at lower costs via agentic AI workflows.[1][2][3]

~$185.0M ARR • 14/20 score G2 →


Dropbox Business

Secure file sharing and storage with to-do lists, review comments, and central workspace access.[1]

Yes, Dropbox Business faces substantial disruption risk from AI, as its core file-sharing and collaboration features are commoditizing amid declining revenue, while AI can automate manual workflows and enable leaner, agent-driven alternatives at lower costs.

100 G2 reviews • 13/20 score G2 →


monday.com

Visually appealing interface with customizable automations for easy project tracking and team adoption.[1][2]

Monday.com faces moderate disruption risk from AI, as it has aggressively integrated AI features like Sidekick, AI Blocks, and agents into its visually appealing, customizable platform, but market fears already drove a 37.3% stock plunge in 2025 amid broader AI concerns.[1][3] While its tech stack remains modern and competitive in 2026—with context-aware AI for content generation, risk prediction, and workflow automation—pure AI-first competitors could erode its edge by automating more deeply at lower costs.[2][3][4][5]

10000 G2 reviews • 13/20 score G2 →


YouCanBookMe

Team-friendly scheduler with real-time calendar syncing for meetings and events.[3]

YouCanBookMe faces moderate disruption risk from AI, primarily through automation of qualification, rescheduling, and lead nurturing, but its core real-time calendar syncing remains a robust moat for SMBs. An AI-first competitor could erode its market by embedding conversational scheduling into chatbots or email, reducing setup friction and costs while leveraging the 2023 Capacity acquisition's AI integration as both opportunity and threat[1].

~$5.0M ARR • 13/20 score G2 →


Salesforce Sales Cloud

Leading all-in-one CRM suite combining sales, service, marketing, and AI-driven automation.[1][5]

Salesforce Sales Cloud faces limited short-term disruption from pure AI challengers due to its aggressive integration of Agentforce AI agents, which already automate key manual processes like lead qualification, pipeline updates, opportunity ranking, deal follow-ups, and customer interactions using real-time data and behavioral signals.[1][2][5] However, a high disruption opportunity exists long-term for AI-first startups targeting cost-sensitive SMBs or niches underserved by Salesforce's enterprise pricing (often $100-300/user/month), by delivering hyper-specialized, lightweight agents at 50-80% lower cost via open-source LLMs and serverless architectures.

563 G2 reviews • 13/20 score G2 →


Jira

Agile powerhouse excelling in task management, project planning, and team collaboration for software development.[1][2][5]

Jira faces moderate disruption risk from AI, but Atlassian's aggressive integration of AI tools like Rovo reduces the immediate threat, positioning it as a leader rather than a laggard. As of early 2026, Atlassian is embedding autonomous AI agents deeply into Jira for tasks like pull request reviews, pipeline analysis, incident resolution, and multi-step workflows across the software development lifecycle[1]. This proactive evolution limits opportunities for pure AI-first disruptors, though niches like cost-sensitive SMBs or hyper-specialized verticals (e.g., non-software teams) could see challengers emerge.

10000 G2 reviews • 12/20 score G2 →


Asana

Clean, intuitive interface with multiple views and automations ideal for non-technical teams.[1][2]

Asana faces limited short-term disruption from AI due to its aggressive integration of advanced AI features like AI Teammates, AI Studio, and automated workflows as of early 2026, but a true AI-first competitor could still erode its market by delivering proactive intelligence at lower cost for non-technical teams.[1][2][7]

3499 G2 reviews • 12/20 score G2 →


Wrike

Enterprise-grade control with robust portfolio management, dependencies, and reporting for complex projects.[1]

Wrike faces moderate disruption risk from AI, as it has proactively integrated AI features like Work Intelligence™, AI agents, and risk prediction, but gaps in fully agentic, end-to-end automation and potential cost inefficiencies leave room for AI-first challengers to erode its enterprise dominance.[1][3][4]
