Wild detail, the Cal AI team does their weekly stand-up meetings on Sunday night.

Not because they're hardcore though, it's because of homework.

Sunday was the only time they weren't in class or like band practice.

Yeah, or lax practice most likely with those Roslyn guys.

Here's the key, yetis.

These guys understood the attention economy.

Savvy marketing helped them get downloaded more than the competition, which was offering the same service.

It's unclear now if they'll remain enrolled at the University of Miami now that they've sold their company.

I'm just assuming one of them asked Giselle to prom after this deal.

So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at CalAI?

The newest flex in VC is small.

Yeah, and the funny thing Jack and I noticed, for years, the biggest flex in Silicon Valley was how big you were, the size of your team.

Founders bragged about their huge hiring numbers because that signaled a healthy business and healthy fundraising.

But lately, we're noticing the opposite.

We're noticing founders brag about how small

They are.

Because that signals they're cutting edge use of AI, which is more impressive in this market.

Now, besties, these four co-founders didn't vibe code Cal AI alone, but impressively, just three other employees were employed by them, plus a few contractors.

And they did it all before social studies class, after homeroom, and mid hallway makeout while they're like, get to class.
