I have been working on using openclaw and Claude managed agents to help me run a one-person startup. As a repeat founder, I know a lot of tasks that are very well suited for agentic systems.
so far it has been an interesting journey and I have had some success but the whole process has led me to write a lot of software around my own process so that I can scale it.
This is going to be a huge problem in every sector. I have been exploring solution in this space for fintech and so far what Resemble AI is doing [1] is probably the best way to defend.
The surface level for us is not just LLM generated text, it is also the combination of AI augmented audio (for incoming calls) and then for our own voice agents being able to protect and identify services cloning our own agent voices with watermarking.
Hi Peter, I am wondering what's the best way to move from O1 to Green Card? I have my own startup which has sponsored by O-1 visa but need to get a green card to stay in the Bay Area long term. I am a Canadian Citizen if that helps.
Location: Ottawa, Canada
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Extensive experience in building SaaS products. I like to think of myself as language agnostic. Most of my career has been building apps in JavaScript (ReactJS, VueJS), NodeJS (Next.JS, Express), PHP (Laravel) and Ruby (Rails). I have been a founder of various SaaS products and can go from zero to one on an idea.

I ran and exited a startup with a young family. My daughter was 4 yrs old when I sold my company and I started it a year before my daughter was born.
My strategy was to divide my work day as best as possible:
Priorities:
1. Time with wife and kid
2. Customer calls
3. Everything else
I started to wake up early to have an hour to get myself organized. I would then block 6-9am for breakfast with family. 9am-3pm (6 hours) of customer calls/coding etc. 3pm-10pm totally available for family and I would only skip for essential calls (i.e. the hell is about to break lose and I think I had one day every month like that lol). 6pm-7pm was bed time for my daughter that I was responsible for and I am still responsible for it till today. 7pm - 10pm was time with wife, completely available for her for anything she wants. 10pm-2am work on my startup again. This was the most productive time for me as everyone was sleeping and my customers didn't expect me to reply back to them either.
It wasn't easy. Could not have done this without my wife who decided to stay at home with kid to help with everything.
I ended up selling the company about a year ago and we made a decent return back that ensured that we are mortgage free, having enough saved for my daughter and now I am actually getting my proper night sleep.
Honestly, this came to my mind as well. I don't want to lie for many reason but simply I just hate keeping track of lies. Something I regret from my younger years in the college.
Is there a reason why this is a bad long term idea? I mean I am giving them fair 2 week notice, offering to help with knowledge transfer and certainly not trying to negotiate more money or anything from them.
so far it has been an interesting journey and I have had some success but the whole process has led me to write a lot of software around my own process so that I can scale it.
Might turn that into a product itself.
