A poster recounts the SF startup playbook in action: their cousin moved to San Francisco nine days ago, attended one founder dinner, and is already raising a pre-seed, moving to Pac Heights, co-hosting founder dinners next week, calling herself "deep in AI," and has a16z in her contacts. The new SF playbook is super effective, the author quips.
