Why does my post not appear straight away?
Everything is read by a person first, usually within a day. It is slower than a chat room and it is the reason this page will never fill up with spam, sales pitches or worse.
Founder to founder
Ask the founders who are already doing it
Questions about AI that only another founder can answer — what is running in production, what it costs, who to hire, what a regulator wants. Every post is read before it appears, and there is no account to create.
Discussions
Start one →- What AI is actually running in your company?Not the pilot, not the roadmap — what is live today, doing real work for customers or staff? And what did you try that you switched off?
- Hiring AI engineers: what is working for you?Where are you finding people, what are you paying, and what do candidates ask about before they say yes? Especially useful if you hire in India or remotely.
- Raising this year: what are investors asking about AI?If you have pitched recently, what questions came up about your use of AI, your costs, or your defensibility? Which ones surprised you?
- Which rule or regulation is changing your roadmap?Data residency, an AI framework, a licensing requirement — something a regulator did that you had to plan around. What was it, and what did you change?
Start a discussion
Ask something other founders can answer from experience. We read it, and if it is a real question it goes up — usually within a day.
Or get introduced, privately
- 01
Read the issue
Introductions come from the reading list, so this starts with being on it. Seventy is free and takes seventy seconds a morning.
- 02
Reply to any issue
Say what you are building and what you are stuck on this month — hiring, a market you cannot read, a technical decision, a rule nobody can explain. Three lines is plenty.
- 03
Get introduced when it is useful
When two readers should clearly know each other, one email goes to both saying why. If nothing fits, nothing happens — you are not added to a list or matched for the sake of it.
How this works, honestly
What happens to what I write?
Once approved, your name, the line about what you do and your post are public on this page. We do not ask for your email and we do not keep your IP address. When you post you get a one-time code that removes it, whenever you like.
How many people are here?
Seventy has not launched yet, so the honest answer today is: very few. The first questions on the board are ours, and they are marked as ours. We will not fill it with invented replies to make it look busy.
Can I be introduced to someone directly?
Yes — that is what replying to an issue is for. Introductions are made by hand, by email, and only when both people say yes.
What is in it for you?
Said plainly: a publication whose readers talk to each other is worth more than one whose readers do not, and what founders ask here tells us what the issue should cover.
Start by reading it
The issue is free, lands each morning, and takes seventy seconds. Reply to any of them and the introductions follow from there.
Every reply is read by the people who make Seventy.
