As a founder, Emma Ryan Lawler felt like SOC 2 was a major distraction from building. But when she started selling to enterprise logos, it became something that was impossible to ignore. Now, as Product Lead at Rippling, she channeled her first-hand experience of getting SOC 2 compliant to rethink how all automated compliance frameworks are run. It started with a retro. Every other SOC 2 vendor works the same way: Detect a problem Alert your team Fix it...somewhere else The problem with this checklist is that "somewhere else" requires dozens of additional integrations. Because these vendors are just reporting layers on top of your stack. Rippling is your stack. Which means most of your compliance evidence is collected before you start AND when there's a gap in compliance, Rippling fixes it. Unencrypted device --> encrypt it. Wrong app access --> de-provision automatically Incomplete security training --> gate system access until its done. Because compliance really isn't about the report. It's about operating your company securely -- and proving it without a yearly fire drill. Emma shares more about how her own founder journey influenced building Rippling's powerful new automated compliance product, available today for SOC 2 Type 1 and 2. 🎙️ Emma Ryan Lawler, Product Lead, Rippling on Fondo.com START Full ep:

Rippling does Automated Compliance now and the product is SO GOOD that I sat in front of a camera for 2 hours to talk about it. If you’re running your startup on Rippling, you already use them to manage the stuff that matters for SOC 2: employees, devices, access, policies, onboarding, offboarding. It's kind of a no-brainer.

Launching today: the world’s first fully optimized LLM routing stack that can be embedded directly into your product, Merge Embedded Routing Stack. Model sovereignty is now table stakes for any AI product. Users and companies are demanding full control over the AI models running in your product. Right now, no company is able to do this without massive overhead. Until today. Merge makes it easy for your customers to use your product exactly the way they want to. With a single API, you can: 1. Allow customers to bring their own keys, manage their own budgets, and set policies like fallback rules, model allowlists, and more 2. Let each customer connect and switch their own models, right inside your product 3. Optimize each customer for cost, performance, or capability Without Merge, you’d be: - Building routing policies, provider integrations, and LLM key management - Giving your users zero model independence - Receiving endless customer support tickets asking “can I use 5.6 Sol?” Products that fight their customers' model strategy will lose to products that fit it. Merge is the only place that allows your users to produce the exact results they want, with the models they have access to. Give your customers the advantage, without the massive overhead costs.

Genspark just released its first-ever hardware product: a tiny, credit-card-sized device that attaches magnetically to the back of your phone via MagSafe. It quietly captures and remembers your conversations, so important information doesn’t simply disappear. It also integrates directly with the apps you already use. This is genuinely Genspark’s first hardware product, and I didn’t expect to be this interested in it. It supports 112 languages, features a prxivacy indicator light that flashes while recording, and is SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, meaning security and privacy were clearly considered in its design. The initial release is limited, so if you’re planning to get one, now may be the time. The early-bird price is currently $179. I’m grabbing mine before it’s gone.

After 10 years of failed startups, I’ve finally found the next trillion dollar company. Introducing Virio — the AI marketer for enterprise. As a teen I made content that did 1B+ views/month… …and earned <$10K. That’s when I learned: Views ≠ Pipeline Likes ≠ Revenue The problem wasn’t creating attention. It was turning that attention into revenue. Virio is built to solve exactly that: 1) Tracks your sales pipeline & marketing initiatives 2) Plans targeted content across your entire GTM team 3) Deploys messaging tailored to each decision maker To celebrate our launch out of stealth, I'm giving away our 16,456-word playbook that's generated $50M+ in pipeline. Repost & comment "Virio" and I’ll share it with you in a few minutes!

We just made the Warp API and MCP completely free. Most HR platforms make you sit through a sales call and a questionnaire just to reach your own data. We think that's backwards. You can pull your entire company and employee data, time off, compensation, payroll, IT, basically anything in Warp. Build your own dashboards. Connect Warp to your internal systems. Run your own automations on top of your data. We built this because our customers are technical and AI-native. They don't want to stare at a dashboard. They want to build on top of their data. Legacy platforms silo it on purpose, and the API, when it exists at all, is a pricey add-on buried behind a sales process. We shipped the API eight weeks ago, and some of our top customers have already built real tools on top of Warp. Today we're removing the last barrier to doing that. If you're an AI-native founder, exec, CIO, or Chief People Officer who's been duct taping this together, the API and MCP are now included free on most plans. On Enterprise, a small fee unlocks the more powerful version with uptime SLAs, webhooks, and audit logs. Your data should be yours. Excited to see what you build with it.

Your website doesn't need a redesign. It needs an honest audit. Most founders spend weeks changing headlines, tweaking CTAs, or redesigning pages... without knowing what's actually stopping people from converting. That's why I like what the team at Kite AI built. At you can get a free Growth Grader that audits your website across messaging, conversions, SEO, AI visibility, pricing, and technical health. It doesn't just tell you what's wrong it prioritizes the fixes that will have the biggest impact and even shows a before/after version of your homepage. The best part? No signup required. Just reply to Kite AI with your website URL, and it'll send back your Growth Grader in about 5 minutes. If you're building a startup, this is probably the easiest way to find out why your website isn't pulling its weight. Check out here:

WorkOS: The Enterprise Stack for the AI Era AI companies are just B2B SaaS with a new engine. They monetize like SaaS, sell like SaaS, and scale into the enterprise like SaaS. The difference is velocity. These new products grow so fast that the old playbook of “PLG for years, enterprise later” simply does not work anymore. PMF is no longer enough. Winning your market requires crossing the Enterprise Chasm almost immediately. Enterprise auth, provisioning, RBAC, compliance, billing, IT integrations. If you wait, someone else takes your market while you are still wiring SCIM. This is why WorkOS exists. We give developers the infrastructure they need to scale up-market on day one. Even if you have never touched WorkOS, you have already used it through products like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor and many others. Today we operate 81M+ enterprise user accounts, 67M API calls per day, and 38K+ connected enterprise environments. Modern AI tools already run through WorkOS. At ERC, we unveiled six major launches expanding that foundation for the AI era: • AuthKit for ChatGPT Apps: secure OAuth + MCP so developers can connect real enterprise data to 700M+ weekly ChatGPT users. • AuthKit for Platforms: embed full enterprise identity into frameworks like Supabase and Convex for zero-friction onboarding. • Stripe Usage Sync: actual per-seat billing with no glue code. Data stays consistent and invoices are always correct. • WorkOS Pipes: the fastest and most secure way to ship integrations (Salesforce, Slack, Intercom and more). • Agent-Ready API Keys: scoped, revocable keys designed for both developers and autonomous agents. • WorkOS Studio: vibe coding for the enterprise. A collaborative AI app builder with SSO, SCIM, RBAC, audit logs, workflows and third-party connectors built-in. Internal software at the speed of a prompt. AI has already changed how software gets created. The next shift is changing what software becomes. We are still “filming the play” like early cinema: using new technology to recreate old patterns. The opportunity ahead is to invent entirely new applications that only AI-native development makes possible. WorkOS is building the enterprise infrastructure that lets teams design the next era of software itself. Enterprise-ready AI is where the real acceleration happens. Let’s build that future together.

Engram cofounder Jack Morris just raised $98M to build a new type of AI. He says models don't need to get smarter over time. Instead, they just need to know you better and better over time. Jack describes what he's building: "Our product is a new type of AI. We have a pretty different vision from a lot of the frontier labs, which are working on one model per lab, and trying to make that model smarter every month." "There's another way to think about it, which is that the model doesn't need to get smarter every month. It needs to know you better." "So we're working on a whole different stack, which is a way to train models that train themselves to know your world better and adjust to the things that you say." "So: new ways of training, new ways of running the models."

American founders believe innovation happens in Silicon Valley. They are wrong. The future of technology is being built in small Finnish cities you cannot pronounce. I have advised founders to relocate to Jyväskylä for six years now. Population: 140,000. Regulatory bodies within two hours: 17. In San Francisco, you wait six months for a compliance officer to ignore you. In Jyväskylä, you schedule a meeting within 48 hours. The Finnish government provides founders with a cabin, broadband internet, and direct access to EU regulators. There is no running water in winter. This eliminates distractions. One founder relocated his entire team. Within eight months, they achieved ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and the Nordic Privacy Seal. Their product did not yet function. This was not a problem. Compliance came first. In my Masterclass, I explain why geography determines regulatory destiny. Only serious founders will understand.

Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel, has a $10 plaque behind his desk that reads: "If we're all going to eat, someone has to sell." Of all the things this man could surround himself with, he chose a cheap plaque with a blunt truth about business. "You're always selling. You're selling to candidates. You're selling to vendors, you're selling to counterparties, you're selling to customers." And if you're always selling, you know what you're going to hear a lot of? "No." Griffin doesn't sugarcoat it. He tells two stories that illustrate just how brutal rejection can be. 1994 was a rough year, with Citadel losing ~4% of its capital. Griffin flew to Switzerland for a crucial lunch meeting, sat down, and his guest arrived only to say: "Oh, I thought you were John Griffin from Fen Church. I got to go." His lunch date got up and left the table. Later that afternoon, a Swiss banker spent 45 minutes with him in a beautiful office, smoking a cigar, before closing with: "Such a pity that such a bright young man picked the wrong career." Two rejections in one day for the founder of one of the most successful hedge funds in history — and his takeaway was simply this: "You just have to tolerate. You're going to hear no a lot, but you need to become accustomed to having to market your ideas and market what you represent and what you stand for." Absorbing rejection and continuing anyway is the actual skill, whether you're hiring, raising capital, or winning customers. Most people avoid selling because they're afraid of no. The ones who build great things have learned to expect it.

Your next campaign? It's one prompt away. Meet Campaign Director — the end of "AI tools" and the start of AI campaigns. 🎬 Forget stitching together five apps to make one reel. Forget casting calls, revision loops, and three-week timelines. Forget "good enough" outputs that still need a designer to fix. Type your brief. Walk away. Come back to a finished campaign. ✦ AI influencers so real you'll double-take ✦ Cinematic video with actual direction — shots, pacing, movement ✦ Your brand, locked in across every frame ✦ Audio that actually matches the vibe No casting. No editing marathons. No "we'll fix it in post." Just a brief in → a campaign out. Ready to publish. Ready to perform. Built for the people shipping content weekly, not quarterly.

99% of AI applications are cool-looking demos. Impressive, but don't get fooled by the hype. It takes a lot to build enterprise-grade products that deliver real value. I have at least three weekly conversations with companies that want to use a Large Language Model with their data. The demand is huge! Here is one idea about what you can do to help. The use cases that most of these companies want to solve are similar: They have an extensive knowledge base and want to build a simple application that uses that information to answer questions. In other words, they need help building Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications they can use in many different scenarios: 1. To train new employees 2. To help their support team 3. To search old meetings and documents 4. To help with their research However, building these systems is not straightforward. Yes, there's a lot of information online, but there aren't enough people who know how to create solutions that work. Here is the idea: Today, you can build an enterprise-grade RAG application without writing code. A couple of MIT PhDs with 10+ years of experience building AI applications created . It's a no-code platform for building applications using Large Language Models. They are partnering with me on this post. You can use Stack AI to create, test, and deploy an end-to-end production-ready AI system. It's SOC-2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant and offers SSO, role management, access control, and on-premise deployments. Of course, you can use the platform with any LLM on the market now. It's the whole nine yards for building AI applications. Check them out here: 2023 was about models. 2024 is about the tools using these models to build production-ready applications. That's where I'd start.

Today marks an important day in OpenPhone (now Quo)'s history. We’re officially becoming a 2-product company. I’m excited to introduce Sona, our voice AI agent! 🎉 So what exactly is Sona? Think of it as your always-available team member that answers calls when your human team can't. It has natural conversations with your customers and collects all the information your sales team needs to follow up effectively, completely eliminating missed calls. What makes Sona special is that it's built right into your OpenPhone system where your team already collaborates. No more call forwarding to external services or losing visibility into what's happening. And you can easily review and audit its performance with full transcripts and AI-generated summaries of every call. We're already serving 60k+ businesses with OpenPhone, and I'm excited that we're now able to bring Sona to all of them. For the last 7 years, we've been focused on building our business phone system, gaining product-market fit, and scaling our team. But today, we're entering a whole new chapter with the launch of Sona. Every SaaS founder knows they'll eventually need a second product—some do it too early and get distracted, others too late when growth stalls. For us, this moment feels just right. I'm excited for what's possible with Sona and thought I'd create a Sona experience for the Founder to Founder newsletter. I trained Sona based on the content of the newsletter and all the posts that I've published. And now anyone can call and get information or ask questions about the newsletter without me having to be available to answer. Give it a try by calling 434-FOUNDER or (434) 368-6337 Would love to hear what you think! I'll leave more information about Sona in the comments.

Today marks an important day in OpenPhone (now Quo)'s history. We’re officially becoming a 2-product company. I’m excited to introduce Sona, our voice AI agent! 🎉 So what exactly is Sona? Think of it as your always-available team member that answers calls when your human team can't. It has natural conversations with your customers and collects all the information your sales team needs to follow up effectively, completely eliminating missed calls. What makes Sona special is that it's built right into your OpenPhone system where your team already collaborates. No more call forwarding to external services or losing visibility into what's happening. And you can easily review and audit its performance with full transcripts and AI-generated summaries of every call. We're already serving 60k+ businesses with OpenPhone, and I'm excited that we're now able to bring Sona to all of them. For the last 7 years, we've been focused on building our business phone system, gaining product-market fit, and scaling our team. But today, we're entering a whole new chapter with the launch of Sona.

"Vibe coding is NOT the same as using AI to write code that's reviewed, tested, and maintained." Here's my new episode with Lee Robinson (Cursor's Head of AI Education) where he shows how to build AI apps properly using planning, test-driven development, agent workflows, and more. Some tips from Lee: 1. Work with AI to create a detailed technical plan upfront including requirements, design preferences, and your preferred tech stack. 2. Ask AI to write tests so that it can check its own work. Add this to the plan: "Write unit tests for business logic, e2e tests for core user journeys." 3. Add "make descriptive commits" to your initial plan so that you can track what AI changed and why. 📌 Watch our beginner-friendly tutorial now: Also available on: Spotify: Apple: Newsletter:
