@BrendanFoody @mercor_ai This shows the importance of believing in yourself. If you believe it's possible because you've put in the work and your vision is clear, you will succeed.
@BrendanFoody @mercor_ai the part nobody talks about is most founders DO have less context than the investor knowing which situation youre in is the actual skill
@BrendanFoody @mercor_ai It's tough to ignore the naysayers, but sticking to your vision can really pay off. Excited to see where Mercor AI goes from here!
@BrendanFoody @mercor_ai This is very true Brendan! More Power to you! We love what you have built and are very bullish on your growth! ❤️
@BrendanFoody @mercor_ai investors in 2021 also had consensus on a lot of things lmao being contrarian is a vibe not a strategy but go off
@BrendanFoody @mercor_ai have 100% conviction in your vision and double down, noted
When we were starting @mercor_ai, most of the top investors in Silicon Valley told us that the AI data market would collapse. They had no understanding of the market, but advised us that we should pivot the business to another industry. The most dangerous thing a founder can do is be too deferential to investors with less context. Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, Meta, and most of the legendary companies started as deeply contrarian. If any of the founders had listened to investor consensus, those businesses would not exist.
half of the things an interested investor will tell you, they don't even believe. they want to see what you will do with ir, and perhaps neg you to beg your valuation down https://twitter.com/brendanfoody/status/2076053601877913955
