Cluely Raises $15 Million From a16z (Tech Crunch)
Cluely, a startup that claims to help users “cheat” on job interviews, exams, and sales calls, has raised a $15 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, the company announced on Friday with a video posted on X
The startup was co-founded earlier this year by 21-year-old Roy Lee and Neel Shanmugam, who were suspended from Columbia University for developing an undetectable AI-powered tool called “Interview Coder” to help engineers cheat on technical interviews
Lee’s provocative social media presence and highly produced controversial videos have helped to draw attention and create brand awareness for Cluely
GIBBI View: Since this month, I’ve seen several post in X about Cluely and its founder Lee, also I commented a post that Lee wrote last week in X; and talking about that, it looks that now the founders of startups are becoming content creators to draw attention and get funded; by the way, I’m creator content where I create content (substack, youtube, spotify) to see if any of my business ideas can get funded and I can make it
Gold Cup 2025: México vs Costa Rica (GIBBI’s Editorial Staff)
Tonight at 22:00 ET on Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas, Nevada)
México & Costa Rica have 6 points each and both qualified to quaterfinals; the winner of the game will win the group and 1st place
My Prediction:
México win 1 goal and win the group
GIBBI View: Even that both teams are qualified there’s a lot in game, because the winner of the game will win 1st place and it’ll avoid to face Canadá & U.S. until semifinals or final; also, both coaches (Javier Aguirre, Miguel Herrera) won a Gold Cup with México and they’ll looking for to win their second trophy
2025 NBA Finals: Game 7 - Prediction (GIBBI’s Editorial Staff)
Thunder vs Pacers, tonight at 20:00 ET on Paycom Center (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma)
The series is tied 3-3, where Thunder have won Game 2, Game 4 & Game 5; and Pacers have won Game 1, Game 3 & Game 6
My Prediction:
Pacers win by 2+ points, win the series and the NBA Championship
GIBBI View: This has been a tremendous series and I never expected that this series was going to be defined in 7 games, I understimated Pacers and overstimated Thunder where both teams have wasted big opportunities to win the championship; I see that Pacers have the momentum even that the Thunder will play at home, so I think that Pacers will win the series and will win its first NBA title in its history
Kevin Durant Buys Minority Stake In PSG (NBA)
NBA star Kevin Durant has purchased a minority stake in Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain, the French soccer club said Friday
The announcement comes amid talks between the NBA, FIBA and other entities about the potential of adding a new league in Europe
Durant will provide expertise on PSG’s multi-port strategy, including potential expansion into basketball, the club said
GIBBI View: I’ve written here several times that in 5 years from now we’ll see several athletes and former athletes with fortune of $1B+ dollars each, because now the athletes are more educated and take better financial decisions that in the past
Brazil Interested In Hosting 2029 FIFA Club World Cup (ESPN)
Brazil has put itself forward as a potential host for the 2029 Club World Cup, the country's football federation (CBF) has said
"It all started with an introductory conversation. I talked about my goals as head of the CBF and said that we want to be closer to FIFA. I praised the event and the level of Brazilian clubs and, finally, I made the country available to host the next Club World Cup," Xaud said in the statement posted on the CBF website
The Club World Cup is intended to be held every four years as a test event for the World Cup hosts the following year. The 2026 tournament is being held in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, while the 2030 World Cup will be in Portugal, Spain and Morocco
GIBBI View: To be honest I didn’t expect anything about this tournament and I thought that there would have been bad games, but until this moment this tournament has been very exciting with games played very well and some surprises, but in the end this tournament is going to be won by a top european team (Real Madrid, PSG, Man City, Bayern)
