Sup nerds,

I move fast.

I proposed to my wife after 9 months. I quit my job and launched my first SaaS on the same day. I built my 2nd SaaS in a week. I MOVE FAST.

Want to launch your software faster?

Some people say the “move fast and break things” era is dead in startups.

I disagree. I think it’s more alive than ever. If you’re able to move fast and ship new features FAST, you can still stand out and win customers for life.

Customer service is currently at an all-time low in every industry.

You call customer support, you get a robot for 20 minutes. You talk to an online support agent that you think is human, it turns out it’s AI. You go into a store and the workers are too busy texting or checking Instagram to offer help. And because customer service in every industry is shit, there’s an opportunity here!

You can arbitrage on the fact most customer service sucks.

If you’re willing to provide good customer service and solve your customers’ problems ASAP, you can stand out. If you’re willing to build people’s suggestions, you can stand out. Literally whatever big insurance company or bank does, do the opposite!

Be as useful as possible and as fast as possible. If you’re a creator or a startup founder, there’s no red tape except the red tape in your head. Nothing is stopping you except you. You can just do things. So do the thing. BUILD FAST.

Take here for example.

It was 11 PM on a Saturday night. I was watching a movie. One of my power users for Memelord Technologies texted me an idea. Boom I shipped it that night.

Another example.

On Wednesday, I went on my friend Edward Sturm’s podcast this week to talk about viral marketing. When we first met in NYC last year, he told me he records 1 podcast about viral marketing every single day. Bro what. I thought he was insane. A podcast every single day? Bro you’re batshit. Well fast-forward a year later, Edward is up to 300,000+ followers across socials and is one of the most respected people on the internet around viral marketing.

During the podcast, I told him I’m focusing more heavily on video this year and am blocking off 1 day per week to film videos. He goes “Bro that’s not enough. That’s too slow. You need to be filming everyday to iterate.” I realized he was right. The only reason why I’ve been successful on Twitter is because I’m iterating everyday. So I got off the podcast and immediately recorded a video about how an OF star. I took his advice to move fast and am up to 5 days straight.

You’ve probably heard of the idea of the 80/20 Rule (80% of your outputs come from 20% of your inputs), but what about the “product-time continuum?”

In The 80/20 Rule, author Richard Koch explains about how Einstein discovered that space and time are interwoven. And the same is true in business. Product and time are interwoven. They’re not separate. This quote really hammered things home for me.

I’ve purposely built my products with time interwoven. Time is one of the competitive advantages of it. Time is one of the selling points. Time is a feature as much as an AI background removal tool or whatever. Time is part of the product.

• Memelord Technologies get a daily email with new viral trending meme templates. When you go edit memes, the templates are pre-loaded in there to save you time. The entire product is built to save marketers time.

• Elon Email customers get an email every Sunday from Elon asking “What did you get done this week?” You then get a response within minutes. If you want a daily email, you can upgrade for $29/mo. Again, time is literally built into the product. Not to mention the fact that the product is built to track your time and help you get more shit done in the same amount of time.

• My Memes-as-a-Service customers don’t waste time on onboarding calls. You sign up, you get an automated Loom of me explaining everything my team needs from you in under 10 minutes, you send in your info, and you get you first batch of memes within 24 hours. For $420.69/mo, you get 1 meme/day (payment link here). For $699/mo, you get 3 memes/day (payment link here). Like my products, time is baked into the service.

I know this may seem a little obvious.

But ask yourself: how can you bake time into your product and your marketing? Does your product save people more time? How much time? Is it the fastest product out there? Everyone is trying to save more time, so don’t let “time” be an afterthought.

I’ll leave you with this banger from my homie Em Herrera, an investor who works with MrBeast. We grabbed coffee with week and talked extremely fast (I had 3 coffees) about startup ideas, show ideas, and much more.

Remember. The moat is speed.
