@StephNass Investor list

I just published the largest free VC directory on the internet, with over 500 different investor lists. For the last 5 years building OpenVC I’ve watched 40,000+ founders struggle with the same problem: They don't know who to pitch because thousands of inventors exist. Finding the right stage, geography, and thesis takes weeks of manual research most founders don't have. So we built the OpenVC Investor Lists. Comment “investor list” if you want free access. You can filter by: · Family offices in your city · Angels who write first checks · Deeptech VCs in your vertical · Investor type and stage in under 30 seconds And every profile is free to access so you can research before you reach out. What used to take weeks of research now takes 30 seconds. Want access to the full list of investors? 1: Follow me 2: Comment "investor list" I'll send you the link via DMs

@loobah_l @pitdesi It was St. Francis

@pitdesi I think Sacred Heart had 30% in Snapchat back in the day…

UofM invested $20M in OpenAI during the same round Khosla invested (Khosla did $50M)… Michigans $20M check is worth $2B, almost 10% of their endowment is now in OpenAI. Heard of another endowment that has a similar exposure to SpaceX

@Tropos_AR @iBrews @SpatialBiggs A better comparison is Tesla releasing the high end roadster which paved the way for the S, X, 3, etc.

The Vision Pro is the ideal machine to start making AR content and build a spatial computing economy. As that is what a much larger amount of sunglass-size smartglasses need, in order to be sustainable. It’s no different than Tesla first building the model S, which paved the way for the 3 and the Y. The Vision Pro is by far the coolest device I’ve ever owned. The stuff I use it for, are all things that would not be possible any other way.

Great write-up. To the best of my knowledge as well Apple is still full steam ahead on VisionOS, and it’s worth noting everyone I know at Apple working on VisionOS has not changed their job title. daringfireball.net/2026/04/on_the…

@celery_juice1 @ByMMonreal Don’t forget about Gavin Kilen!

@ByMMonreal We play our cards right and develop them properly between Jhonny, Hernandez and Gonzalez that’s our future 2b, ss, and 3b in no particular order with Eldridge at 1b

Jhonny Level tends to get overlooked because of just how good Josuar and Hernandez are, but his start to this season has been special.

@hthieblot spatial

pitch me your company in 1 word.

@upperwestbruin @TurnerNovak Direct payments from universities kicked off on July 1, 2025. apnews.com/article/ncaa-h…

@JohnnyRuhlen @TurnerNovak No they didn’t. NO NIL $$ can come from a university. None, nada, nil, zero, zip, ZERO. Next year they can allocate rev share but not this year.

Would never have guessed Wrestling was the third largest athletics revenue line for a university. Also how does it cost almost $8M to run??

Penn State’s athletic department allocates a portion of its NIL‑linked revenue share to different sports; wrestling ranked third among all Penn State teams, receiving about $1.4–1.5 million in the 2024–25 fiscal year. The rest of the payments come via endorsements, autograph sessions, etc.

@JohnnyRuhlen @TurnerNovak NIL can’t come from universities, genius, and rev share doesn’t begin until next year.

@NitoGetsABag @MLBPipeline @SFGiants @SJGiants @grok Shortstop

@MLBPipeline @SFGiants @SJGiants @grok what position does he play

No-doubt home run off the bat of Top 100 prospect Jhonny Level! The 19-year-old (@SFGiants) is 11-for-21 (.524) with a 1.517 OPS to open the year for the Single-A @SJGiants:

@NWhiting7 @Coach_Yac Cassius Howell has short arms.

@Coach_Yac The edge rusher with baby arms

Who is the nightmare pick for the 49ers at pick #27?

@ninjawhee @ns123abc I heard 10x ARR so $300M

@ns123abc how much did they acquire tbpn for

BREAKING: Anthropic Acquires 9-Person Biotech Startup For $400 Million >be coefficient bio >founded the startup 6 months ago >build AI platform for biotech >less than 10 employees >acquired by anthropic for ~$400 million > = $40+ million per head Coefficient Bio was building an AI platform for biotech tasks: planning drug R&D, managing clinical regulatory strategy, identifying new drug opportunities Team is joining Anthropic’s healthcare life sciences group led by Eric Kauderer-Abrams.

2016: In the lab with a pen and a pad. 2026: In the lab with Claude Code, Vercel, Supabase, and GitHub.

@Trace_Cohen @arian_ghashghai Burning $4.5B per month.

@arian_ghashghai $2B rev a month, prob burning $2-4B a month… 1B users by end of year Eventually they will increase prices and helpfully enterprise will start to pay off more.

Ok I’ll happily take shit for this take again, but I struggle to understand how a company that hasn’t found a working business model can be worth $852 *billion*

@NoemiKhachian @rohindhar SFHs in nice neighborhoods vs condos in shitty neighborhoods. That’s the difference.

@rohindhar I’m confused.. how are some homes being sold for millions over asking

San Francisco downtown condo sale in the “Mid-Market” area Purchased in 2018 for $1.256MM Just sold for $690k $566k loss

@MitcheIl Launch

@Luckyballa Seems identical to what @Miris_spatial is doing.

I hope everyone understands how impressive it is from a technical standpoint

@Ali__Akbari @Tonysmarkettips PFF had Sigle as the 3rd worst coverage safety in the NFL, 31.2. Brown and Mustapha were also not great in coverage. 58.5 and 59.5, respectively. The entire safety room is made up of strong safety’s.

@JohnnyRuhlen @Tonysmarkettips What makes you think that? Because they've given up big plays? Would love to see stats on that case. Not trolling here either but genuinely asking.

Can we all agree that if the 49ers ignore the following positions in the draft they will be just fine? QB TE RB LB S K P I think I want every single draft pick to be WR, OL, DL CB

@AG_FintwiddyOnX @SFFDPIO Lombard

@SFFDPIO Which location is this?

@Shady_Justin @JWeinbachNBA He has a player option which he’ll decline so he’s essentially an expiring contract.

@JWeinbachNBA NOBODY WANTS DRAYMOND

A potential trade framework between the Warriors and Bucks that would send Giannis to Golden State: • Warriors Giannis Antetokounmpo Thanasis Antetokounmpo Gary Harris • Bucks Draymond Green Jonathan Kuminga Moses Moody Brandin Podziemski 2026 first-round pick (via GSW) 2028 first-round pick (via GSW) 2030 first-round pick (1-20 via GSW) 2032 first-round pick (via GSW) 2031 first-round swap rights (via GSW)
