Andy Rosic @andy.social · 13/04/2026I've set up HubSpot 3 times. Abandoned it 3 times Every time I end up back in a Google Sheet. Because Sheets has zero setup and zero opinions about how I should manage my relationships. But.. Sheets also has zero follow-up reminders. It just sits there holding info I forget to check. 100
Andy Rosic @andy.social · 08/04/2026Lost a $15K deal last year. Not because the pitch was bad. Because I forgot to follow up. The calls went great. They needed a few weeks. I said sure. Then I got regular-busy and..nothing. When I reached back out: "We allocated that budget. Can revisit in 6-12 months." Gone. 120
Andy Rosic @andy.social · 07/04/2026There will always be a place for investment. But, as Lior points out and I've witnessed, building like you won't raise creates a great company (then you can decide if you need more $ to scale or not) 220

Andy Rosic @andy.social · 17/06/2025The best startup advice I ever got came from an outdoorsman. "You can't rush the fire. But you can't let it die either." Some problems need time to heat up before you can work them out. Stop forcing solutions. Start tending them. #founders #startups #patience #craftsmanship 4586

Andy Rosic @andy.social · 14/06/2025The best product ideas don't come from market research. Its Sat mornings in the garage. Doodling mindlessly. That weird convo w your neighbor.

Andy Rosic @andy.social · 12/06/2025No one cares that you added AI. As a business, saying that you have "added AI" to your software is like saying "we now have a mobile app." If anything, it makes your customers think, "How did they not have this before?" #genai #strategy #founders #startups 7212

Andy Rosic @andy.social · 29/05/2025🌶️ take: Most AI “agents” are just no-code chron jobs. A repeating series of predefined steps is not an agent. It’s not even good software. If you have, built, or know of a real AI agent - it can adapt or adjust on its own to complete specified outcomes - then please share it 👇 3364

Andy Rosic @andy.social · 23/05/2025Automation sounds like the answer to everything. However, automation is still in its early stages and presents a lot of challenges and failures if you're trying to set it up. I am a big fan of automation. However, I'm a big fan of automating very simple, very constrained, and very focused tasks. 2200
Andy Rosic @andy.social · 21/05/2025I was making a huge mistake in no-code tools. 😭 I would start IN the no-code tool. Leading to hours of iterating, fixing, and failing.

Andy Rosic @andy.social · 12/05/2025Work with people who make you better. My co-founder and I get into it sometimes. Usually cuz we're assuming too much. But we work it through.

Andy Rosic @andy.social · 02/05/2025Context is king in AI agents. Agents leveraging internal knowledge bases that update regularly will outperform static systems every time. Your agent should know your business like a longtime employee. More on agents next week... #aiagents #startups #founders 1191

Andy Rosic @andy.social · 02/05/2025Most "AI agents" can't even pass the proactivity test. They sit there waiting for instructions instead of identifying problems themselves. 💀 The bar for true agency is WAY higher than most products meet. #aiagents #startups #founders 0150
Andy Rosic @andy.social · 01/05/2025Been tracking 20+ AI agent startups launching weekly. The ones winning aren't debating terminology—they're focused on expanding capabilities across the agentic spectrum.

Andy Rosic @andy.social · 01/05/2025Your AI isn't an "agent" just because marketing says so. Real agents create their own feedback loops—watching outputs, iterating, and improving WITHOUT constant human hand-holding. I'm learning few tools actually do this well. #aiagents #startups #founders 1181
Andy Rosic @andy.social · 30/04/2025We'd all like more output for free. But the true test of an AI agent isn't what it's called—it's what it DOES. > Can it act without being prompted? > Make its own plans? > The more behaviors from this spectrum it exhibits, the more "agentic" it truly is. #aiagents #startups #founders 130
