I'm ecstatic to announce our $22M Series A, led by @GoodwaterCap , with participation from @FirstMarkCap , @companyonvc and @epic_ventures. This round will accelerate our mission to bring the world together through social experiences, empowering anyone to find targeted social experiences or start and scale an events community of their own. Human connection is lost. POSH is the beacon guiding us back. It’s time to beat the loneliness epidemic, together.

I'm excited to announce Posh’s $37M Series B, led by @FirstMarkCap. 6 years ago, people told us a better events platform was a solved problem. 8m users and $350M in GMV later, we're just getting started. For more on our vision and what's next: posh.vip/vision

@signulll rise of the irl creator

kinda interesting that there are so so many party promoters now. social media influencers are branching into throwing parties / “meetups” which are often secretly sponsored or even explicitly ticketed. it’s like a decentralized meetup dot com.

@ishangpta @ycombinator @sequoia One of my entire team’s favorite products!

Excited to announce that Juicebox has raised an $80M Series B at an $850M valuation, led by DST Global with participation from @sequoia, @coatue, and @ycombinator. We’ve now raised $116M to build the future of hiring. Read more below 🧵

Feels like we're in the early days of an inevitable career path: the IRL creator A person who brings relevant people together, designs tasteful gatherings & curates spaces to facilitate serendipity With AI reshaping how we work and live, in-person experiences will be the last way for us to find meaning and feel something significant.

fully organic.

@ericbluewatch what a moment

Proud of my nephew Charles who created We Belong Here, and portfolio company PoshVIP for crushing it with him. NYC. WBH, coming to a city near you. ⁦@AvantePrice⁩

I’m 13. Last month I spent a week in San Francisco for Founders Inc’s off-season. In 7 days I: was the youngest at demo day visited a16z & Cluely HQ met founders I’d only seen online went viral cold-emailing 75 OpenAI engineers and ended up in Sam Altman’s office. Here’s the full story.

The only time more exciting to be alive than today is tomorrow.

sacrifice is the greatest accelerant

@cultured sometimes I think I’m the goat, then you put me right back in my place

25,700 people earned more than $140,000,000 in the month of August on Whop. Baby numbers.

Working on a ai tool that can change the world lol

@james_k_he attention = acquired

Artificial Societies has raised $5.3m. We are building the Thinking Machine that can see all potential societal outcomes of any given actions, and help humanity find the golden paths. Yes, we are here to build Psychohistory. And we are just getting started.

@benoftheweek @poshvip_ doesnt.. @AvantePrice

@BrianNorgard put people in group social settings and show them who they share the most mutual interests and contacts with. lower pressure/commitment. conversational barriers broken.

People often ask me, “How would you build a modern dating app?” There’s nothing left to do. Swipe, match, chat is a solved problem. Radically reinvent the format, or die trying.

@victorcardenas @base absolute beast

We raised $60M for this moment: Introducing Slash Global USD (in partnership w/ @base). It's the first banking platform that lets you open a USD account without an LLC, EIN, or the rampant account closures they call "account safety". It took major legislative changes AND 3 years to pull this off. Here's what makes it so different: 1. Banking without an LLC. Before Slash: You needed a LLC, $1K in fees, a virtual address, and a U.S. tax ID. With Slash you get a real U.S. account & routing number in ~10 minutes with your foreign documents. 2. No more hefty fees. PayPal charges a 3-4% conversion fee. We let you receive USD and crypto (USDC) with NO fees. Not enough? We pay you up to 4.5% cash rewards just for holding your money with us. 3. Account freezes. The big guys love flagging success as “fraud”. We're built for fast moving founders. We'll never wrongfully freeze your funds. I'm putting my money where my mouth is: If we do, I'll wire $10K to a charity of your choice. ------------------------------ In 2021, I dropped out of the number 1 school in America as a Venezuelan immigrant to build Slash. I pivoted the business 2x before getting our first customer. Today: - 3,000 businesses use @slashapp - We bought the domain Slash . com for $1M - $4B is spent on our credit cards every year And we just raised $41M from the people who built fintech: @MenloVentures @NEA @ycombinator @goodwatercap -------------------------------- To celebrate this launch, we're giving away our internal AI finance Agent free. It watches your bank accounts 24/7. Flags double charges. Cancels forgotten subscriptions. It saved us $39,000 last month. You don’t need a Slash account. It works with any bank. Retweet + comment “Slash” and I’ll send you a free access link.

I’m convinced that solving social isolation and loneliness might be the most important problem of this lifetime
