Alright, let’s jump into this week’s discoveries 👇

Startups FYI Spotlight

🤫 Anonymous Paid Social Platform

This anonymous social media platform was built for people tired of performing on social media. There are no likes, comments, or followers. It is just a quiet place to write without the pressure of being “seen.”

The founder describes it as “not a replacement for social media, just a different option for people who want to speak freely without the validation loop.” (Pre-revenue) 

🌍 Free Time Zone Overlap Finder 

Discover this no-code scheduling tool that instantly identifies overlapping work hours across multiple time zones. Perfect for remote teams tired of the “What time is it for you?” guessing game. (Currently generating $87 in ad revenue as a side-project)

Crash Expert: “This Looks Like 1929” → 71,105 Diversifying Here

Mark Spitznagel, who made $1B in a single day during the 2015 flash crash, warned markets are mimicking 1929. Seems extreme but we did just see the worst quarter for the S&P since 2022.

So it’s not so surprising that Vanguard and Goldman Sachs forecasted 5% and 3% annual S&P returns respectively for 2024-2034.

Late last year, Apollo’s chief economist Torsten Slok put it this way: "expect zero in return in the S&P 500 over the coming decade."

So, what’s something investors can actually do to diversify this week?

Almost no one knows this, but postwar and contemporary art appreciated 10.2% annually with near-zero correlation to equities from 1995–2025 overall.*

And sure… billionaires like Bezos can make headlines at auction, but what about the rest of us?

Masterworks makes it possible to invest in legendary artworks by Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more – without spending millions.

29 exits. Net annualized returns like 16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8% on works held over 1 year+. $1.3 billion invested. 500+ offerings.*

Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…

Startups FYI Roundup 

💻 The Canadian Making $12,000/Month Selling AI Automations

A Canadian creator realized something simple: Businesses will pay thousands for workflows that look complicated.

So he started using Claude + n8n to build lead gen, onboarding, and invoicing systems in minutes. No coding. No agency staff. No heavy tech. Just prompts.

Now he charges $500–$3,000 per workflow, resells the same setup to multiple clients, and ships in hours what traditional automation agencies quote $10K+ for.

👉 Here's exactly how he pulled it off

🤖 The One-Man AI Agency Replacing an Entire Team

A guy in China built 7 Claude agents that search Google Maps for businesses without websites, generate landing pages, create promo videos, and automatically send personalized cold outreach.

Now he serves 47 businesses a month at $400 each — using only Claude Code, a MacBook, an iPhone, and a single API key — while traditional agencies need entire teams for the same workflow.

👉 Here is how the system works

⚡ The $200 Tool That Replaced His Entire Team — And Made Him $10,757

A 20-year-old in Miami connected Claude to Premiere Pro in 15 minutes. That one setup now writes scripts, records voiceovers, edits videos, and does SEO — across 10 channels, every single day.

TikTok. YouTube. Instagram. $10,757 in. $200 out. Zero hands-on work.
