Who's behind Find The Cash Atlanta?
A social media account that's stashing cash around metro Atlanta for anyone to find is taking the region and other cities by storm — but no one seems to know who's behind it.
The big picture: For the past year, an Instagram account called Find The Cash Atlanta has been posting videos of someone off-camera hiding anywhere from $50 to $250 in cash in random places, like the Midtown MARTA station, Marietta Square and other spots.
The account does "cash drops" — some of which appear to be sponsored —several times a week and has grown to over 163,000 followers, with many of the drops now being found by followers within a few minutes of the videos appearing online.
The intrigue: Now there are several similarly-branded accounts in cities like Dallas, Nashville and Twin Cities most recently. Yet there's no indication who may be behind the apparent displays of generosity in Atlanta or nationwide.
It's unclear if the person filming the cash drops is the actual account holder. The only contact listed is an email address in all the accounts' bios that directs users to Win It Entertainment.
According to Georgia Secretary of State records, the company was incorporated in June 2024 as NTJ Entertainment. Four months later, the company changed its name changed to Win It.
The account, the email in its bio and a LinkedIn user claiming to be the CEO of a "Win It Entertainment" all did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Axios.

3 tips to help your startup survive the age of AI, from Anthropic's product chief
Anthropic's Mike Krieger advised startups to focus on domain expertise and customer relations. Startups in law or biotechnology can offer value beyond large language models, he said. Krieger suggested exploring new AI interfaces to avoid becoming simple AI model add-ons. Trying to avoid becoming part of the "OpenAI killed my startup" meme? Anthropic's chief product officer has some advice. In an episode of "Lenny's" podcast published on Thursday, Mike Krieger said three key qualities can help startups defend themselves from being taken over by AI giants and stay "defensible" for at least the next one to three years. First, Krieger said startups with deep knowledge of areas like law or biotechnology can survive AI giants. For example, he said that he doesn't see Anthropic building a solution for scientific labs. "But I want that company to exist and I want to partner with it," he said. Second, Krieger said a good relationship with customers can help. "Don't just know the company you're selling to, but know the person you're selling to at the company," he said, referring to advice from one of Anthropic's product leads. It's also helpful to come from the domain yourself, or bring on a cofounder "who came from that world," he said. Krieger's third suggestion was for startups to play with new AI interfaces. "Do something that feels very advanced user, very power user, very weird and out there at the beginning, but could become huge," he said. Krieger cofounded Instagram in 2010 and was its chief technology officer until 2018. He later cofounded the news-aggregating app Artifact, which was shut down last year. He joined Anthropic last year. "I don't envy them," he said about founders wanting to build in the AI space. "Maybe that's part of the reason why I wanted to join a company rather than start one." Kriger did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours. Krieger's comments are part of an ongoing debate in the startup community about how founders can avoid building AI "wrappers" — a dismissive term used to refer to simple applications that are built on top of existing AI models and can be easily offered by LLM companies themselves. Last year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said his company would "steamroll" any startup building "little things" on top of its model. He said that companies who underestimate the speed of AI model growth risk becoming part of the "OpenAI killed my startup meme." Krieger has made several recent comments about the future of work and how people can AI-proof their careers. In an interview earlier this year, Krieger said developers would be spending more time double-checking AI-generated code than writing it themselves. Late last month, Krieger said that he still has "some hesitancy" about hiring entry-level workers and that Anthropic is focused on hiring experienced engineers instead.

Why Corporate Mission Statements Still Matter
Mission statements must represent a company's moral GPS. They must be a combination of aspiration and dedication. Ingrained in the word mission is a certain patience and commitment. A meaningful action is rarely a short-term effort. Even the famed Mission: Impossible franchise has been releasing movies for over 25 years. Missions are unending. This provides an interesting perspective on the value and importance of a corporate mission statement. This guiding principle will live longer than we anticipate, affecting the actions of those who will eventually join your company, some of whom are yet to be born. A relic. A throwback to a sentimental age. Mission statements are not corporate wallpaper—framed, forgotten, and mostly ignored. They are not requisite phrases that simply prove a company is real, like the dust-covered business license on your wall. To the contrary, these statements are qualitative and nearly prophetic. In 2006, Disney simplified its mission statement to include three powerful words, 'Make People Happy.' Isn't it interesting how this statement continues to come true all over the world, from its theme parks to movies and cartoons? Your mission is never about you. It is about what you will cause in the lives of others. In our instant, TikTok-Instagram world, mission statements are more important now than ever. When everything moves fast, fast becomes less valuable. Mission statements, when written and expressed with clarity and meaning, have the effect of slowing us down, permitting us to fish within, surfacing our best ideas. However, mission statements must evolve. The modern mission statement can't be platitudes written during a corporate retreat weekend in the mountains. Instead, it must represent the place where the thinking behind all strategies and corporate endeavors is authorized. Here are three steps your company can take in order to build your mission statement into your north star. Machines can process, predict, and optimize. But they cannot hope. They cannot yearn. They cannot instill purpose. If your company's mission statement does not stir the souls of your people, your people will never stir the souls of your customers. Make sure your language does more than inspire—it must provoke. The statement must represent your company's moral GPS. It must be a combination of aspiration and dedication. It should point to not just who you are today, but who you are committed to being in the future. Your potential workforce today isn't looking for a job—they're looking to belong. If you don't offer them purpose, they will leave you for a company that does. Or they'll become entrepreneurial and build their own cathedral within yours. Don't write your statement as if it's for compliance. Write it as an invitation in your corporate fellowship. Write it as something bigger than any one purpose. Bigger than profit and bigger than brand. It should feel more like scripture than Wall Street—and more accountable than generic. All I am saying is, become thoughtful about the language and the sentiment behind it. Your mission statement is a sacred promise—a promise about who you will serve and how you will serve them. If you can't lead people with a sentence, you don't deserve to lead them with a strategy. If you can't name what your company lives and dies for, don't be surprised when your talent lives and dies somewhere else. So go back to that dusty frame on the wall. Wipe off the glass. Look hard. Then take a pen, and begin again.
