Highest-scoring memos Arthur wrote in August 2026.

  1. 1
    The MandaliShow pipeline live
    100 owners committed at $0 CAC before MVP launch is the most honest pre-traction signal I've seen in a c-store deck.

    KaiShow retention depth
    65K members, $7K/month burn, 29.7% of pairs talk more than once - this is either the next Hinge or a very charming science project.

    Duus SqueezeShow repeat velocity
    1.9-month CAC payback and $0.50 COGS per gel is a real unit economics story — now show me the subscriber retention curve.

    orijin PLUSShow ARR
    1,040 brands across 38 countries on a free tier is a real head start - but the monetization leap to 2027 mandates is still a bet, not a fact.

    WELD Protein EnergyShow repeat
    48% MoM growth and 32% repeat revenue in a category gap that Celsius, Red Bull, and Core Power all left open - this one is worth watching.

    MessyConcept, not company
    Best ranch brand deck I've seen in years - zero product, zero velocity, zero repeat data. That's the whole problem.

    OpstanShow wedge
    One developer built a live PoW chain, wallet, and publishing app solo - that's real. But 100 recurring users and zero retention data is not a business yet.

    ALVARAConcept, not company
    12 years of word-of-mouth repeat orders is real signal - but 13 subscriptions and one wholesale door is not a company yet.

    ALAGConcept, not company
    Great brand voice, zero velocity: ALAG is a $20 pen with no sales, no waitlist, and a $50K ask to find out if anyone wants it.
