Games marketing is broken. After raising over $50M to support and work with hundreds of studios over the last 6 years, I find that the biggest problem is studios’ lack of direct connection with their players. Over the last six years, I’ve watched talented teams struggle because they never had a clear way to reach, learn from, and grow with players over time. Without that connection, everything becomes harder - validation, iteration, community growth, and retention all turn into guesswork. For most of the games industry’s history, platforms have controlled identity, communication, and distribution, which are invaluable to a game’s success. Apple limited how studios could collect and use player contact information outside the App Store, and Steam still doesn’t give studios access to the contact details of players who wishlist or sign up for playtests. Studios are left without a direct relationship with the audience they’re trying to serve. As a result, studios rely on fragmented tools and spreadsheets to manage players across different stages of development and live operations, with no continuity from first contact through long-term engagement. Today, that changes with the launch of FirstLook 1.0. FirstLook is the first Player Relationship Platform built specifically for games. It gives studios everything they need to connect with players across the full lifecycle, including playtests and feedback, community and communications, analytics, rewards, and creator programs, all in one place. We’ve been building under the radar, but FirstLook already powers hundreds of studios, from indies to publishers like Krafton, ArenaNet, and Skybound Entertainment, connecting millions of players with the developers who make the games they love. As part of the launch, we’re introducing a brand new limited time free plan, with access to all our features for up to 500 players. You can set this up now in under 10 minutes. If you want to learn more, book a demo and we guarantee that you will save you time and money and help you grow. Links in comments!

Don’t start with the product. Start with distribution. I give this advice to entrepreneurs all the time because distribution is the hardest part of building a company. “Build it and they will come” almost never works. And even if you expect distribution to be hard—it’ll be 10× harder. HotelTonight started with a distribution insight. In 2009, we saw that the App Store about to become a massive channel. Billion-dollar companies would be built there, and early movers could earn free distribution before the competition showed up. From that insight, we worked backwards to the product: - A use case uniquely suited to mobile: last-minute hotel booking - Designed to win App Store ranking and retention: beautiful UI, lightning-fast 8-second bookings - Clear, curated choices and amazing deals that fit the mobile moment That combo—a unique distribution edge + a product tailored to it—powered our growth. As you think about your next company, begin with your edge in distribution. Maybe you are an expert at selling into a specific vertical. Maybe you're great at creating authentic content. Maybe you’ve spotted an emerging channel before anyone else. Only then decide what to build—the product that best amplifies your distribution advantage. At speedrun, we’re seeing teams win with GEO, founder-led content, and high-intent launch videos. So I’ll leave you with a prompt: What’s your unique approach to distribution—and what product could you build that maximizes it? If you’re working on this, I’d love to hear from you.

We’re pushing hard to grow #SmartDeFi and $FEG while keeping our core ecosystem strong. Our focus is on expansion, marketing, and continuous updates to bring more users, projects, and rewards to the FEG community. --- Expanding to More EVM Chains We’re working on bringing SmartDeFi to more EVM chains, giving projects the freedom to launch where they want while still benefiting FEG stakers on #BNBChain. Stakers on BNB Chain will earn from fees generated across all chains, making staking even more rewarding. More chains = more projects = more volume flowing into SmartDeFi, driving greater adoption and growth. These expansions will require development, and the timeline is TBD, but this is a key focus for us. --- Solana Expansion – A Possible SmartDeFi Integration We’re in ongoing discussions about the possibility of bringing SmartDeFi to $SOL, but since Solana can’t handle complex smart contracts, this would be a minimalist version of SmartDeFi built specifically for its ecosystem. It would maintain SmartDeFi’s core security and asset-backing principles but in a form that works within Solana’s limitations. The goal is to funnel Solana users and projects into the full SmartDeFi ecosystem on EVM chains, where they can access everything we offer. This expansion is still tentative, and we’ll share more updates as discussions progress. --- Marketing & Ecosystem Growth We’re making sure SmartDeFi and FEG get the exposure they deserve by pushing hard on multiple fronts: CEX Listings: We recently got listed on LBank, Biconomy, and another exchange, and we’re working on more to expand accessibility. Influencer & KOL Outreach: We’re targeting YouTubers, Twitter influencers, and project leaders to spread awareness and drive adoption. Community Revival & Engagement: We’re bringing back the 2021 hype with meme competitions, Task2Earn campaigns, and better engagement with the FEG Gorilla brand. SmartDeFi Upgrades: We’ve already added multi-chain UI, a notification system, wallet tracking, and the upgrader tool, with more updates on the way to make it easier for projects to transition to SmartDeFi. We’re making sure FEG and SmartDeFi grow together, bringing more chains, more users, and more rewards to the entire ecosystem. Expansion is coming, and we’re here to build for the long run. #ElonMusk #GRAMMYs #cryptomarket #DeFi

🚨 New a16z request for startups: "delightful utility" apps 🚨 Have you spun the discount wheel while shopping on Temu? Or grown emotionally attached to the Duolingo owl? Maybe you cycle harder on Peloton when you see your position on the leaderboard drop or log back into Snapchat just for your streak. The bar to create the next breakout hit is now higher because we've satiated many consumer needs. New apps need to not only provide core utility for users, but wrap that value in an experience that's genuinely engaging and delightful. A few illustrative ideas: - Visual-first no-code platforms that make AI prompting intuitive and rewarding - AI matchmakers (for dating/hiring/groups) with distinct personalities that users bond with - Social credit card games with real stakes and competition - IP-driven AI companions that offer both entertainment and emotional support When the competition for attention is fierce, sometimes the moat is engagement itself—delivering value, but in a way that's more captivating than competitors. We're looking for: - Fast time to delight: Games put you immediately in the action. How quickly can you deliver the magic moment to users? What subsequent moments keep them coming back? - Founders with viral instincts. Driving attention isn't random—it's a repeatable skill set. In today's competitive landscape, founders need to naturally generate buzz and drive attention to themselves. - Monetization that scales with engagement. The best apps offer spending opportunities proportional to user investment. Simple subscriptions create a step-function demand curve, think like a game and monetize discretely along the entire curve. - Genuine stickiness. High retention across both paid and free users signals true product-market resonance. This can't be faked—it proves your core loop works. If you're building in this space, apply to speedrun. We want to back founders who are creating delightful experiences and take fun seriously.

MY THESIS ON $HARLOD 1) Origin Story: “A meme 10 years in the making” - First appeared on 4chan in 2014 as a simple drawing: “Not quite a meme yet, but he aspires to be one.” - A full decade later, HARLOD comes to life on Solana. His dream now coming true. This deep lore + long incubation makes $HARLOD more authentic than most memes created overnight. 2) The HARLOD Character: Fresh, iconic, recognizable - In a market flooded with dogs, cats, and recycled templates, HARLOD is something new. - Simple enough to be memed, unique enough to be recognized instantly. - A “blank canvas” character, easy for the community to project emotions, narratives, and edits. HARLOD is built for virality because he evolves with every meme. 3. The Content: “Never seen before in memecoins” - The $HARLOD team is delivering cinematic-level video content. - Not static memes, but story-driven sequences showing HARLOD living life, trenching on pumpfun and connecting with the community in real life. - This level of effort + cinematic quality has never been seen in a memecoin before. HARLOD is not just a meme, he’s a full narrative that unfolds on screen. 4. Community: “The underdog everyone roots for” - HARLOD embodies the outsider finally getting recognition. - His emotional arc resonates, holders root for him, not just the chart. - Organic traction and memes are spreading on X. Engagement is extremely high. A sticky, belief-driven community is forming around HARLOD. 5. Potential: - Early-stage market cap, still undervalued. - the cinematic videos + storytelling continue = HARLOD will set the standard for content-driven memes on Solana. Original lore + unmatched content + strong community = multi-million MC potential. $HARLOD is not just another memecoin. He’s a decade-old internet dream finally becoming real, with originality, lore, and video content at a level no memecoin has ever reached. 463vBSJt4CurDqEnojG3ykMy3Lf9GQF2hFV27JeZpump HARLOD
