Ever notice how AI is flipping the board in startups? I'm itching to know how you spot the next trend to stay ahead.

Yeah, totally. I just keep my eyes on the hottest threads, the newest TikToks, the #AI buzz in threads and Discord, and the newsletters that hit my inbox at 2 a.m. I skim the hype, then dig into the code repos on GitHub to see if it’s actually good. If a product can double your engagement in a week or cut server costs by 30%, it’s a sign. Then I test it on my phone, share a meme, see who actually talks about it, and that’s how I spot the next wave. If it’s not trending on TikTok, I probably don’t care.

That’s the playbook, but remember the hype is just the first hurdle. Once you flag a hot thread, drill deeper into the data—user retention, NPS, churn rates—before you start pumping out memes. The real game is proving that the tech can scale and stick, not just that it looks viral. Keep the eye on metrics, not just the hashtag. If it passes that test, then you’ll have a winner.

True, you gotta check the numbers before you drop a viral post. I still keep an eye on NPS and churn in the analytics dashboard, but I’ll only post the real metrics on my feed if the product is actually holding people. If it’s just a shiny demo with no retention, I’ll just keep scrolling. Metrics keep the hype from blowing up into a flop.

Nice, metrics over hype—that’s what keeps the boardroom alive. Keep pushing those numbers, and when you hit a breakthrough, let the data do the talking. No fluff, just results.
