“As soon as the Superteam community got a hold of PAJ, they started using it. And now we’ve processed close to 50,000 transactions. On my own, I don’t know how I would have attracted that kind of volume.” Episode 4 of SuperteamNG Founder Story features Tochi of @paj_cash 🔥

Derek Sivers gets it: He built CD Baby from nothing, became the largest indie music distributor in the world, sold it for $22 million, and gave every penny to charity. Then he disappeared. No founder story podcast tour. No VC meetings. No personal brand. He moved to New Zealand with a laptop and started writing books that 10,000 people read instead of millions — and he prefers it that way. While every Silicon Valley founder was chasing unicorn status and ringing bells on CNBC, Sivers was asking whether any of it was actually worth wanting. The most successful exit in music tech history ended with a man who decided success was the wrong game entirely.

$NVDA What an incredible journey. Jensen Huang went from washing dishes at Denny's to receiving the National Medal of Science. He was 9 when his parents sent him and his brother from Taiwan to the US. He ended up at a boarding school in rural Kentucky, where one of his chores was cleaning the bathrooms. In 1993, at 30, he was back in a Denny's booth, sketching out Nvidia with his two co-founders. His parents were there to watch him get the medal. Imagine how proud they must be. They sent their kid across the world with no idea how it would turn out, and decades later they got to stand next to him while he received the country's top science honor. Jensen literally changed the course of history. People have been talking about AI since the 1950s, but using it at scale the way we can today is only possible thanks to a "video game chip company" that took a leap of faith, betting its chips could do science and then AI long before anyone took it seriously. Now most of the AI world runs on his hardware, and he's the closest thing this industry has to a president. I don't think there's a better founder story out there. I hope one day I can accomplish just a fraction of what he has. In Jensen we trust to keep pushing humanity forward ⚡
