🧠 A Message to Remember

👋 Hey — Egemen here.

I read a lot of messages every month.

Most blur together but every now and then, one of those stands out.

Today’s edition is about why those are the moments that matter and what founders can learn from them.

Here’s a snapshot of what’s on the menu today:

💡 Spotlight: Delve

Getting compliant doesn’t have to take months.

With Delve, it takes 15 hours.
SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO, and more, automated with AI.

That’s why 500+ of the fastest-growing AI companies (Lovable, Cluely, Wispr Flow) already run compliance on Delve.

But compliance is only half the battle. The other half is enterprise reviews.
At Delve, we’ve sat through 100s of hours of security questionnaires.

We’ve seen every pointless checkbox, every SaaS-era question, every deal stalled because of them.

So today, we’re publishing something different: a manifesto with Bland AI on how security questionnaires should work in the age of AI.

🧠 Deep-Dive: A Message to Remember

Last month, I got over 300 messages. Most were the usual: job applications, introductions, asks…

But only one stuck in my head.

It wasn’t clever.
It wasn’t polished.

It was this:

I smiled and I replied.

Why this one?
Because it was human.

As founders, we often think we need the perfect pitch.
The perfect subject line.
The perfect elevator intro.

But people don’t remember perfect. I think we only remember what’s real.

Building a company is about connections, not just with investors or customers but with the people who decide to listen to you.

If you want to stand out, stop trying to sound smart.

Start trying to sound like yourself.

That’s the lesson I was reminded of.
One genuine line beat out 300 polished ones, and it worked.
