Excited to announce - @CompositeAI When I started sneaker botting 8 years ago, never would I have thought we'd have the technology to have this level of generalized automation. Looking forward to building the future of work with @YangFanYun

i recognize the landing rooftop when i see it what level of yc startup diddy cooked am i

Human behavior is security's biggest blind spot. We've raised ~$3M in pre-seed funding from @BoweryCapital, @indievc, and angels from Cloudflare, Palo Alto, Cursor, Nvidia, and Okta to fix it. 🧵

@zaygranet real

souvla is extremely overrated.

@NikolasIoannou_ @marcbaghadjian Congrats man!!!

Nearly 4 years ago, @marcbaghadjian and I had the crazy idea to build a credit card company. I was 19. Not the Odyssey, nor the Iliad, but our own small epic that we wrote day by day. We knew the odds and we embarked anyway. Fueled only by hope, we made immense sacrifices with no certain return. The idea changes and you change. Behind every photo of two founders, there is an army of people that came together. None of this could be possible without our incredible team, investors, and partners. Today is the end of a chapter in our epic, and the start of a new one.

@zjearbear Lets Go!!!

Introducing Lemma. Your AI agents are failing in ways you can’t see. Lemma is the world’s first reliability platform that finds and fixes these issues fast.

@suzannexie @alwayslearni Congrats Suzanne!!!

1/ Exciting news: I’ve left Neo to join forces with a team of career military special operators and intelligence professionals to launch a new National Security focused venture fund with Strider Capital: stridercapital.com

@alistaiir LETS GOOO!!!

We're launching the Monitor tool in today's Claude Code release. Claude spawns a background process and each stdout line streams into the conversation, without blocking the thread. e.g. "Use the monitor tool and `kubectl logs -f | grep ..` to listen for errors, make a pr to fix any crashes" This is both more reliable and token efficient than polling within the agent loop.

@dillon_dunteman @hyperion__cap LETS GO DILLON & HENRY!!!

Today, we are unveiling @hyperion__cap, an investment firm built to be the best strategy partner for deeptech founders. Again and again, we heard from these founders that venture capital has been failing them, even as more deeptech funds entered the market in recent years. Too many deeptech VCs lack a real command of industry history, hardware unit economics, go-to-market, and engineering nuance. Instead of rigorously evaluating complex frontier technologies, they often pass with vague references to “science risk." They overlook exceptional founders outside usual elite networks and concentrate capital based on pedigree, reducing their thinking to hand-wavy “founder bets." These VCs then prioritize promotion and social media over delivering real value to founders. In this world, LPs are also losing. And more of them continue to be disappointed by the lack of rigor that their deeptech GPs bring to evaluating these startups. We raised $35 million for Hyperion's Fund I to change this paradigm. On average, we complete 100+ pages of deep research and strategy ideas that are shared with our founders. We also share this industry research with our LP base, which has already helped support our founders with additional capital and valuable introductions. We hold regular strategy sessions with our founders and obtain key connections that unlock new growth vectors for their businesses. Over the last 6 months, we’ve already invested $9 million behind founders across 7 companies: @FarisSbahi at Normal Computing, @isaiah_p_taylor @ Valar Atomics, Will Wilson @AntithesisHQ , @drauwsy @ Kunin, @abeirami & @aparandehgheibi @ [stealth], Charlie Cheng @ TC Lab, and Mike & Josh @ F-ADA. I'm deeply grateful to the senior leadership at Vista Equity Partners for their support, to the venture GPs who have advised us, and to the founders who chose to partner with us in the earliest days. We’re especially grateful to our limited partners, who put their trust in us at the firm's inception. Lastly, to build this firm alongside one of my closest friends and college teammates @henr56520 been a true privilege. We’re looking forward to working relentlessly for the founders we've backed and for those we’ll have the chance to support in the years ahead. hyperioncap.co

@nickbruhman biography?

almost 2 years. blog?

@rak_garg incredible tweet

so basically every booth at RSA is threatmaxxing rn because the new meta is slap “agentic AI” on the one-pager before Anthropic hard mogs your entire TAM the SIEM vendors went full monk mode and rebranded overnight but investors are looksmaxxing the actual architecture and it’s giving NPC energy fr CrowdStrike tried to branch swing to their own foundation model but Claude just sigma stares the benchmark into the dirt so now they’re beta orbiting the Anthropic partner tier like the MDR girlies invoked SOC 2 and NIST to force legitimacy cope, called it “human-in-the-loop differentiation” Palo Alto is EAmaxxing on stage about responsible AI but backstage it’s full skibidi crisis mode because the moat is just vibes at this point the seed-stage “AI-native security” founders are still jestermaxxing on LinkedIn like bro you are literally a YARA rule with a Stripe integration textbook volcel disruption. they saw the demo, understood the demo, and still printed 400 hoodies no cap RSA 2025 is just a grief support group with better badge lanyards

@theombl @NotionHQ @shiryehoshua @ivanhzhao @simonlast @akothari Congrats man

wrapped up at @NotionHQ last week -- met some lifelong friends, shipped a lot, and learned tons. to say i remain bullish would be an understatement. very grateful to @shiryehoshua, @ivanhzhao, @simonlast, and @akothari for taking a chance on me 3 years ago.

@nickbruhman Nick can i dm you just because

Meta removed your ability to pay by card? DM me. We’ll help you earn cashback on your Meta invoice spend.

@itsbenjyyy @TenkaraAI @trueventures LETS GOOO

Ten years ago I was building factories. Today I'm building the tools I wish I had inside them. @TenkaraAI raised $7M led by @trueventures.

@_kentw @sodofi_ need to coordinate Partiful

@KicksCharlie @sodofi_ yes.

sf social life is just attending networking events on luma

@_kentw @sodofi_ ice cream party?

@sodofi_ hey so you are doing it wrong

@lulumeservey @brianwut

@brianwut NO ITS BECAUSE ICE CREAM IS HEALTHY FOR BODY

harvard can't figure out why ice cream eaters are healthier. it's because ice cream is the only food nobody eats out of obligation or guilt. the food diary is an accidental personality test and "eats ice cream on purpose, reports it honestly" is just measuring internal locus of control

@alistaiir can we run a group buy for tickets?

they should sell tickets to us-east-1 like a tourist attraction like disneyworld

@parkerstevenson fax no printer

Everybody bigger than you is on steroids and everybody richer than you is a scammer

@sxmawl hey neighbor

Only in SF you’d call police / law enforcement for a stolen YC jacket!
