I genuinely believe I know what the next trillion-dollar company will be. Here are my thoughts: The other day @FoundationCap wrote a post that made a tonne of noise. In it, they say Systems of Record are dying. They argue the next trillion-dollar industry is the context graphs within those systems. I partially agree, but I think @JayaGup10 and @ashugarg miss one crucial fact: Most enterprises don't run on one system of record. They run on emails, CRMs, Slack, AI notes, and internal docs. Each holds a fragment of the full picture. The real challenge is twofold: 1. Integrating these disparate context sources. 2. Building systems that can effectively use that context. My v2 conclusion is that context graphs that link disparate systems in enterprises are the actual trillion-dollar industry. With this approach, AI meets enterprises where they are. Workflows don’t need to be completely rebuilt. This allows for an end-to-end AI transformation with minimal organizational disruption. Link to the full article in this thread. What do you think - agree or disagree?

@fatemallk @fergomg 🦄

I spent my 25th year yapping to random people😗! Met @CharlieCheesma1 and @fergomg ended up leading London’s highest-signal community of builders. In just 4 months we’ve: 1. Helped a team go from strangers to YC founders in 3 weeks 2. Run our biggest hackathon yet 3. Sent teams to a hackathon in Lithuania 4. Seen +$10m raised out of our office! Moral of story = yap to strangers. roi is stupidly high!

Today we’re announcing London as Runway’s European HQ, and doubling down on our investment in the UK AI ecosystem. In under two years, our London team has become central to our research, including foundational work on GWM-1, our latest general world model. The caliber of talent and industry presence here makes it an ideal environment for the next chapter of Runway’s growth and for shaping the next generation of AI with world simulation. I’ll be in London for the week; DM me if you want to meet up!

@VasZhovner @meetgranola @cjpedregal @samstphenson @idevelop Congrats vas! Exciting times ahead

Today I'm officially moving from CTO to Advisor at @meetgranola. That's my favorite picture of @cjpedregal, @samstphenson, @idevelop, and me in our Shoreditch office back in 2023, the entire company at the time. From that small cozy room to where Granola is now, what a journey. Excited to welcome @NikolaOtasevic as the new CTO. He comes from a Director of Engineering role at Meta and brings a lot of experience scaling teams. Honestly couldn't ask for a better person to take this on. I'm taking some time off to explore what comes next. No plan yet, which is kind of the whole point.

@w_milczynska @charlierward +1 London ftw

didn't expect this to go SO big 😭 the londonmaxxing math: → rent ~40% cheaper than SF → senior eng salaries 30-40% lower → 4 top 10 universities within 60 miles → every frontier lab now has a london HQ same talent. lower burn. denser network. bullish!

I want to start an AI community for executives. This will be a space for people to share killer use cases, agentic workflows/agents, post-AI org structure, AI governance, AI training/enablement, change management, and more. Comment “AI-native” if you want to join.
