Postiz makes $4m - plus more startup news

Hi there,

Thanks for signing up for my founder newsletter. Today is my 4th full day in the Uneed Residency in France. It's been great fun and it turns out I'm good at pétanque!

No ad this week - distribution is hard these days so if you want to reach 2,000 founders with your product, now is your chance. More information here: https://www.highsignal.io/sponsor/

Postiz hits $4m

Congrats to Nevo for reaching $4m with Postiz, his agent-first social media scheduler. Nevo is sponsoring the Uneed Residency this week and it's been great having him share his tips with us in person.

I don't have any tweet to share but he showed me his Stripe dashboard.

Claude renames Max plans

No changes on price, thankfully, just the name.

Max 20x is now Ultra.

Reddit to require log in

Reddit is going to start testing a new system outside of the US whereby visitors will be required to login to view content. I've already seen a bit of this in the UK. It seems like every website publisher is protecting itself and trying to create reader loyalty by requiring a sign-up.

It's a little ironic some of the news sites reporting this new need you to login to read it. Here's one which doesn't: https://thenextweb.com/news/reddit-login-required-google-ai-search-traffic

Discord to publish content in SERPs

An interesting move here. Some of the biggest communities or "servers"on Discord will show messages in Google. I suppose this could be a new way to get customers - reply to viral Discord messages, just as people used to do with Quora and currently do with Reddit.

In Europe, it's opt-out by default so your posts and replies won't be public unless you want them to be. https://thenextweb.com/news/discord-public-server-messages-google-search
