Founder’s First Shortcut


1. AI Tool of the Week 📌 Veed.io 🎥

 

Good for: turning raw video into polished, ready-to-post content.


How to use it (step by step):

  • Upload your raw video straight into Veed.io
  • Auto-generate captions with one click (and quickly edit for accuracy)
  • Use the “remove filler words” tool to instantly cut ums/ahs
  • Trim dead space with the split + delete tool (no editing skills required)
  • Apply a branded template for consistent fonts, colors, and logos
  • Export in the right size for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube — done

Why it matters: Most founders have ideas worth sharing but get stuck in editing purgatory. Veed.io eliminates the overwhelm so you can actually publish content that attracts clients and builds trust.


2. Founder Tip of the Week 💡

 

Progress > perfection.


When I built my first startup, I spent three weeks obsessing over a sales pitch deck. Fonts, color palettes, slide order — everything had to be flawless.


You know what happened? The investor barely looked at the slides. He wanted to hear my conviction, not my kerning.


That was the day I stopped worshipping perfection. Clients, customers, and investors don’t care if your pitch, sales page, or first product video is polished to the bone. They care if you show up, communicate clearly, and keep moving forward.


Momentum is magnetic. Perfection is paralysis.


3. Prompt of the Week ✨

 

Drop this into ChatGPT:


"Act as a marketing coach. Give me 3 client acquisition strategies I can run on repeat that don’t require a big budget or team, and show me where AI can save me time."


👉 Copy it into ChatGPT, run it, and you’ll see fast, low-lift ways to grow without burning out.

 

Example Output for a Wellness E-commerce Brand (Adaptogenic Teas):

  1. Content-to-Email Flow – Use ChatGPT to turn one customer testimonial into a week’s worth of posts. Link each post to a simple lead magnet (e.g., “7-Day Stress Reset with Tea”). Build your email list on autopilot.
  2. Micro-Influencer Outreach – Use AI to find and draft pitches to 5 micro-influencers in wellness. Offer free product in exchange for authentic reviews. Track results in Notion AI.
  3. Cart Recovery System – Let AI draft 2–3 short, conversational emails for cart abandoners. Schedule them with a tool like Klaviyo. Converts browsers into buyers without manual chasing.

If you’re tired of piecing things together from YouTube videos, blog posts, and AI tool threads…

 

I built The AI Operating System for Founders for you --> Check it out here.

 

As an ex–$250M AI VC and serial AI founder, I turned years of trial, error, and hiring mistakes into plug-and-play templates you can set up in a single day.

 

No fluff. No hacks. Just a system that replaces 10+ roles, saves you 30+ hours a week, and fast-tracks your growth — without burning out.
