a16z speedrun is one of the biggest accelerators in the world. We submitted our application a bit back on the recommendation of one of our friends. Our EdubaWare software has been in closed testing for a bit (get ready, next week thousands of you will get access to it and see our changes) We received and Email yesterday saying they want to hear more from us and to send them a video in under three minutes that explains: - Your backgrounds and greatest accomplishments, professional or personal - What makes you exceptional, and why you're the team to win this market - What you're building and what problem it solves - Why this is a big, underserved opportunity - What progress you've made so far  Now fitting all that into one video is challenging, but we did our best. I hope this gives you a view into the other side of my life which is my company Eduba!

Time for a quick intro! Hey Clief Notes fam! 👋 I’m Aaron, and I’m stoked to be here. 🙋 **A little about me:** I work in marketing, operations and automation. I enjoy figuring out how to make things simpler and more efficient. 🎯 **My current goal:** Get more done with less back-and-forth, build reliable systems, and free up more time for my family. 💪 **What I’m currently building/working on:** Putting AI to practical use in my day-to-day workflow. My focus is getting simple, useful solutions finished without turning every task into a massive project. 🤔 **My biggest struggle or question right now:** Knowing when to stop planning and ship. How are you getting consistent results from AI without spending all your time managing it or adding features you don’t actually need? Let’s get it! 🚀

Over the past few days, I’ve had some fascinating conversations here in this community, including a private chat with @Bryson Bossley . Those conversations got me thinking. And last night, I couldn’t stop thinking. One thought led to another. Ideas connected. Questions became bigger. And somehow, I ended up writing a speech and turning it into a video. So please, WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST. And if you recognize yourself in what I’m saying, if something in that message resonates with you… Come back and read this. ——— What Can We Build Together? 50,000 minds. Thousands of skills. Countless ideas. And yet… most of us are still trying to succeed alone. Think about that for a moment. What if the greatest opportunity in this community isn’t the next AI tool, another course, or another business? What if it’s the person reading this right now? Someone here might have exactly the knowledge you’re missing. Someone else might need exactly what you already know. And the strange thing is… Neither of you even knows the other exists. Isn’t that a tremendous waste of potential? I made this video because I believe we’re overlooking something extraordinary. It’s not another tutorial. It’s not a sales pitch. It’s a question we should all be asking ourselves. What could we achieve if we stopped trying to do everything alone and started combining what we’re already good at? Maybe we don’t need another thousand ideas. Maybe we need to connect the people who can bring them to life. And maybe it starts right here. Not with another complicated system. Not with another promise of success. But with people discovering each other. So let me ask you three simple questions. 1. What are you genuinely good at? 2. What do you need help with? 3. What would you build with others? Don’t overthink your answers. You don’t need to impress anyone. You don’t need to sell yourself. Just be yourself. Because somewhere among the people reading this, someone might have exactly the missing piece you’ve been searching for.

I just saw a YouTube video that discussed the death of MD Files, arguing that HTML files are the better way to go. Wanted to get the community ‘s thoughts on this and how it would impact ICM approach, if at all. Thanks
