Countdown to ModCon starts now.. Looking forward to joining the AI panel session on Dec 3rd with @davemuni, @deepnisher, and @iamtimdavis. Early bird tickets here:

@jgoldfein @MIT Congratulations, Mark. What a deserving honor.

Today @MIT has announced Mark Gorenberg will be the next chair of their board - in essence, the guy in charge. 1/ news.mit.edu/2023/mark-gore…

@IVP is leading @GetCortexApp's Series B. I'll be serving on their board to help where I can. More about our partnership here: ivp.com/content/cortex…

The @GetCortexApp team, led by Anish, Ganesh and Nikhil, is skilled, scrappy, and highly motivated to improve the developer experience. Newly adopted by tech teams at @TripAdvisor, @Docker & @Grammarly.

One of the biggest barriers to developer productivity, even as AI speeds up developer work, is time spent toiling -- organizing services, tracking down owners, remediating isuses. Other functions (sales, marketing, HR) have centralized SaaS platforms, but what about engineering?

The ChatGPT hype has me feeling mostly optimistic, partially contrary. It also got me thinking back to the glory days of Hadoop and Jamstack & the nature of tech & infra progress. More here: linkedin.com/pulse/hadoop-j…

@davideaston This one works: linkedin.com/pulse/hadoop-j…

@CackF Excited to read but I get page not found?

Unsurprisingly, @eynatguez and @Papaya_Global and team are awarded the #EF50 win for their category-leading #payroll solutions and their lesson: "Our takeaway? Hard work pays. 💪" Congrats, team. embeddedfintech50.com

PREDICTION: There's a mass extinction event coming for early & mid-stage companies. Late '23 & '24 will make the '08 financial crisis look quaint for startups. Below I explain when, why & how it will start & offer *detailed advice to founders* on surviving the looming die-off. /1

Working with founders and entrepreneurs, I often draw on what I learned from those who coached me before and during my pro athletic career, running for Nike. I wrote about a few standout lessons and want to share: linkedin.com/pulse/what-i-l…

Nicole was optimistic - and compassionate. CISOs work tirelessly to keep bad actors at bay. “Everyone in this room knows what’s wrong and how to fix it,” she told us. “There’s a tremendous appetite among boards and senior leadership to figure this out.” 🙏@_mwc @nicoleperlroth

Fortune 500 boards often tell her a version of: ‘We thought we were cutting edge b/c we had a CISO brief us last year, but we realized we didn’t know what they were talking about.’ She wrote her book for a layperson to pick up and grok; #CISOs would be wise to do the same.

Last week, @IVP gathered two dozen #CISOs for dinner & conversation about the “inflection point” the information security industry is at now with @nicoleperlroth, a college friend & author of the NYT bestseller, “This is How They Tell Me The World Ends.”

Loving what I do is energy giving. My first internship in venture was 7 weeks and it took just 1 week to realize I loved my job for the first time. I was 29; the path was circuitous. fortune.com/40-under-40/20…

Be compassionate and present daily - not only to be a better version of myself but also for the people around me. At home as much as at work.

Thank you @FortuneMagazine for including me alongside so many inspiring leaders on this year’s 40 Under 40. My path here has been meaningful because of partnering with so many talented founders, companies, and investors. Things I've learned from them👇🏼
