Founders: when things get really tough, remember that the fact that others gave up at this point is why you have an opportunity 💪

Let's fucking work Pats Nation

How soon are we from an agent emailing someone’s boss, mentioning that they are doing 98% of work (and the human went on ESPN 3 times in the last hour)?

AI has been responsible for an almost comical degradation in the quality of VC investment memos.

It's no exaggeration to say that @live_kindred has changed my life I travel a lot for work/family, and Kindred has massively upgraded my lodging while also slashing cost The homes are much larger and more homey than a hotel room, and they have proper desks!

Are we in an AI bubble or not? See @BiedermanRob's response in today's @FortuneMagazine Term Sheet!

Three and a half years ago, @neelkunjur and I decided to go from being Brothers, to being Co-Founders. Today, we’re excited to announce that @K2SpaceCo has raised a $250M Series C at a $3B valuation. This round comes on the heels of $500M in signed contracts across commercial and US Government customers. Our Series C is being led by @Redpoint, with participation from @TRowePrice, Hedosophia, @AltimeterCap, @lightspeedvp, Alpine Space Ventures and many others. We’re fortunate to be building at a unique time - launch vehicles are getting larger and the frequency of launch is increasing. When it comes to satellites, it’s now possible to Build Bigger, and we intend to be on the vanguard of doing just that. Building Bigger allows us to deliver a step change in power (20kW today, 100kW tomorrow), reliability, and redundancy. Our satellites are designed to deliver the maximum amount of capability wherever that capability is needed (LEO, MEO, GEO, cislunar space and beyond). Coming up next - 20kW satellite launch early 2026, three satellites launched early 2027, and many more to come after that as we scale up production in our 180k sq ft factory in Torrance, CA. We’re looking forward to sharing more on our progress over the coming months and years. -

2021 may be our strongest vintage cohort to date. Not something you hear everyday from a VC. This and more to come from @BiedermanRob's interview with @dvellante on @theCUBE @SiliconANGLE + @NYSE Wired's Capital Series. #NYSEWired @furrier @bjbaumann2014

every founder should be forced to read this @traestephens piratewires.com/p/founders-bew…

I’m excited to announce the launch of @Span_Platform’s AI Code Detector! 🚀 We all know how transformative AI coding assistants have been, but it's still hard to know what's AI vs. not & what impact it's ultimately having on quality, velocity, and security. Now you can with Span—powered by our machine learning model, span-detect-1, which detects AI-generated code with an industry-best 95% accuracy. We can’t wait to see how this helps engineering leaders who want to lead with hard data, not hype. Try it out today—completely free.

We love news. VD Episode #26 Guests today: - @daraladje (@withdelphi) - @BiedermanRob (@asymmetric_vc) LET'S LOCK IN.

We’re hiring at @UpSmith. $5,000 if you refer a full stack engineer who joins and sticks 3+ months.

@bhalligan @kurtchessman many x legendary, his book is fantastic

@kurtchessman Dorsey - yes. Jacobs - 2x legendary??

Other than Elon, who has founded more than one "legendary" companies? Looking at some second time legendary founder companies at Sequoia and trying to pattern match a bit.

@alexangeline_ @lizwessel @asymmetric_vc oh hey Liz

@lizwessel Definitely worth chatting with @BiedermanRob and @asymmetric_vc - they’re very involved here

Has anyone written about the trend over the last 6-12 months of founders 18-26 y/o raising VC to buy old schools businesses and inject AI into them? Have seen so many pitches in every vertical on this in 2024, and looks like still in 2025. I’m curious to learn how VCs who have done these seed and A rounds (often priced pretty high) are thinking about this approach. Blog posts or podcast recs appreciated!

Thanks @SiliconANGLE and @NYSE for inviting me on to talk with John Furrier about AI Innovation in the office of the CFO. Here are three key insights from our conversation: 1️⃣ If you’re not already adopting AI, you’re behind. It’s no longer a “nice-to-have” – it’s the new competitive advantage. 2️⃣ Roles are shifting from doers to reviewers. How are you preparing your team for this evolution? 3️⃣ Unsure where to begin? Start by asking your teams which tasks they’re doing manually. Those processes are prime candidates for AI-driven automation. Watch the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=BPTlz6…

I still cannot believe that I can: - look at a world map and tap anywhere to zoom in at street level - instantly access any song, book, movie, tv show, or podcast ever made - have any conceivable question and get an immediate answer or video explanation - take a photo or video wherever I am and add it to my massive, searchable, always accessible personal archive - video call anyone in my life, at anytime, no matter where they are - watch live sports on a little wireless glass rectangle - type out these thoughts and have them read by thousands of people, all over the world, a few seconds later

Our CEO @KaranKunjur broke the news this morning about our $110M Series B funding round on @BloombergTV! The funding round, co-led by @lightspeedvp and Altimeter, includes participation from existing investors Alpine Space Ventures, @firstround, and others. More details here: prnewswire.com/news-releases/… We're grateful for the support and excited to revolutionize satellite tech with our high-power, multi-orbit satellite platforms. Join the team! k2space.com/careers

Wrote this business plan in my b-school apartment 12 years ago today. Changed my life forever (HourlyNerd -> @GoCatalant -> @asymmetric_vc ) as well as the lives of many (100k+ experts, employees, customers). When in doubt, do it. 🤓🚀

@alexrkonrad @Forbes !!!

Personal news: today is my last day at @Forbes! I'm leaving to build something new 🔨 I've been lucky to call this place home for the past 12 years, working with the best team and getting to know so many of you. From the Midas List to 18 cover stories, it's never been boring!

How a cold email to @mcuban saved @BiedermanRob's (@asymmetric_vc) first startup. Full episode out tomorrow!

John Plumb, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy, has joined @K2SpaceCo as our Head of Strategy.  There are a few times at K2 where we’ve briefed someone on what we’re building and it just clicked - they get it, they see the potential, and they see where we’re going. Briefing ASD Plumb at Space Symposium last year was one of those times.  I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know John since that first briefing and have been impressed by his technical depth combined with his understanding of how policy is crafted in DC. He sees the gaps in our nation's space architecture and knows what we need to go do to fill them.  We’re incredibly fortunate to have John join our team and I’m excited to have him come help build K2. Please join me in welcoming John.  defenseone.com/business/2025/…
