Vibe5: Founders Rewriting Tech

Five founders. Five frequencies. One signal.

May 20, 2025

We’re not scanning for price swings—we’re listening for founder frequency.
Every Monday, I drop the Vibe5: five public companies under $50 where the story cuts through the noise.
This week’s picks stretch from LiDAR and analytics to AI-powered biotech. Let’s tune in:

📊 Amplitude (AMPL, $11.76)

The product behavior engine.
@SpenserSkates turned a voice app into the analytics layer for 30,000+ companies—and he’s just getting started.

🚗 Ouster (OUST, $10.94)

LiDAR for the self-driving future.
@AngusPacala’s Velodyne merger sharpened the edge. Hardware is hard—but this one’s shipping.

🚛 Hyliion (HYLN, $1.34)

Clean trucking, rewired.
@ThomasHealyHYLN’s battery-forward rigs are built for sustainability—if mobility shifts, this stock won’t stay quiet.

🧬 Recursion (RXRX, $4.51)

AI-biotech decoder.
@ChrisGibsonRXRX is mapping biology in real time—drug discovery may never look the same.

☁️ DigitalOcean (DOCN, $30.34)

Cloud that vibes.
@BenUretsky built the developer-first platform quietly powering the startup world.

Five sectors. Five signals. All founder-led.
This isn’t financial advice. It’s founder frequency.
