Starlink has quietly shifted from a hardware-plus-subscription model to giving away dishes for free and capturing users on subscription — exactly how every major telecoms company works. With 12 people on one villa connection in Malta, the product sells itself.

Luca shares a telling product observation: when he bought his first Starlink, he had to pay for the device. Now it arrives free — you pay only shipping — and you're on subscription. That's the exact model telecoms companies have run for 50+ years, and Starlink is deploying it globally, without geographic constraint. [1] — Ben "150 days to build a SpaceX data center: SpaceX demonstrated the ability to stand up a data center in approximately 150 days, showing a spee…" 10:10 Sitting in a Malta countryside villa with 12 people running multiple devices on one Starlink connection, Luca calls it a 'no-brainer.' His investment thesis is simple: when you're actually using the product and it works, you buy. He acknowledges the IPO is oversubscribed, expects volatility, but sees multiple entry points over the next few years.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
PropGPT runs on React Native with TypeScript and Python for ML, Neon for the database, RevenueCat and Superwall for monetization. LLM costs are $20/month, data APIs $100/month, and after $10K in monthly marketing spend, margins sit at roughly 50%.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
The fastest path to Twitter growth isn't volume — it's forming sharp opinions about how the platform works and sharing them immediately. People cluster around those who understand the rules and say so out loud.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
