We really appreciate them and they help us out a ton.

Thanks so much, guys.

And we'll catch you all in the next episode.

Okay.

The wildest news of the week is that open clause creator has been, uh, acquired.

The company is like sort of acquired an interesting situation, but he's going over to open AI after a ton of drama that happened after cease and desist from anthropic, uh,

a lot of wildness.

But the reason we wanted to cover this on the podcast today is because this is one of the very first instances, people have been talking about this for a long time, oh, because of AI, we're going to have these single person companies that are going to be worth a billion dollars.

We have basically the very first edition of a solo vibe coded startup started like a few months ago, just exited for close to a billion dollar valuation.

This is a crazy

crazy story.

We're going to take you on the wild ride of OpenClaw and everything that happened there, but also talk about some ways that you should be vibe coding or can be vibe coding or can be thinking about this, even if you're not a developer and what we're currently actively doing in this kind of field.

So it's fascinating, but just kicking this over to you, Jamie, give us like a brief recap and the most interesting parts of the story to you.

He has actually started, run and sold a company in the past for, I think, close to, I think he ran a company for like,

If I remember correctly, it was something to do with like making PDFs work on your phone.

And he worked on it for like 10, 10, 14 years.

I sold it for like $100 million by the time he was done with it.
