Happy Thursday.
TBPNâs timeline is insane:
Started in October 2024 as a joke side project called Technology Brothers.
Rebranded to TBPN to sound less offensive.
Copied the full sports TV playbook with tickers, graphics, suits, and âtradedâ cards.
Became the #1 live show in tech.
Landed guests like Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Satya Nadella, Alex Karp, and Mark Cuban.
Stayed 100% bootstrapped and profitable from day one with a team of just 10.
Scaled to a $30M ad revenue run-rate.
And just got acquired by OpenAI for ~$200M.
All in 18 months.
