The internet curated for the obsessed. Welcome to Lore.

@ItzSuds @Jakebrooks @triumpharcade facts! jake’s also a great investor/advisor as well and doesn’t get enough recognition for that either

I’ve seen inside the fastest growing startups & somehow @triumpharcade is growing faster No one has executed better in a harder space than @Jakebrooks I truly thought consumer was uninvestable. Turns out it’s only an impossible nut to crack until the right team shows up 🚀🦄

We are pleased to announce that Votre, America’s first fully onchain investment bank has raised a $3.75 million seed round. The round was led by @a16zcrypto CSX, with additional participation from @MaCVentureCap , @DruidVentures, @l2iterative, @J17Crypto , Long Run Capital, Web3.Com Ventures, @IDGCapital , @sandeepnailwal , @EV3ventures , @mhventures , @wilsonsonsini , Scombridae, and strategic angels from @GoldmanSachs , @Harvard , and @OrangeDAOxyz as well as Josh Lim and @cory Levy from @zfellows . "We’re proud to back Votre as they bring a measured, compliant approach to the crypto space,” said @adrianfenty of MaC Ventures, the former mayor of the District of Columbia. “With a strong technical foundation and a clear regulatory strategy, they’re well-positioned to succeed as crypto markets evolve in the US.” Legally, today, Votre Inc is a nonbank lender and may be viewed as a swap dealer, operating under the de minimis exemption and does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice (yet!) Our first product is a proprietary, hedged Bitcoin-backed loan product focused on allowing HNWIs to access liquidity. We plan to pursue other regulatory designations over time as we expand our business. Thank you to our incredible backers - back to building!

Honored, humbled, and ready to do the work. L.F.G.

We're back at @MaCVentureCap with our latest State of Tech + Culture Report, "A Return to Hard Tech", where we hone in on the movement back to Silicon Valley's roots in hard tech, a space where MaC has been investing extensively for the last several years macventurecapital.com/insight/the-st…

@cpaik this was great. Was talking to a friend about this but we came to the conclusion that Goku/Manga in general just had better platform economics and was better packaged for serial distribution. Anime stories are much more linear too compared to various static batman timelines

Why is it easier to cosplay as Goku than Bruce Wayne? docs.google.com/document/d/1Zc…

@sur4js taste is also in the gutter

The word Vibe has been completely and utterly ruined for me.

We're thrilled at @MaCVentureCap to be announcing our investment into Hexium founded by @cjarrott, Jake Peterson and Martin Griswold. Here's why... techcrunch.com/2025/04/15/fus…
