Over the past 7 weeks I've been fortunate to be a part of the @sequoia arc program w/ an incredible group of founders and my co-founder @ellenjdasilva. Here are a few takeaways on what it means to create an iconic company. And no I didn't use generational ai to for this thread 😅

@SiVola @CaltransDist3 Are you on the road can you confirm?

@CaltransDist3 But CHP said open both directions x.com/chp_truckee/st…

#TrafficUpdate Highway 50 is now OPEN in both directions. WB I-80 is open to vehicle traffic, but remains closed to trucks. ETA of opening for EB I-80 is approx. 4 hours. Drive safe and plan accordingly.

@artemkholodenko @CaltransDist3 @CHP_Truckee @CHPSouthLake @PlacerCA @CountyElDorado @CHPAuburn @CHPPlacerville Were you able to confirm?

@CaltransDist3 @CHP_Truckee @CHPSouthLake @PlacerCA @CountyElDorado @CHPAuburn @CHPPlacerville Can you please confirm if (per your app) as of Feb 18 2026 6:59AM [12] ^80 WB CLOSED TO TRUCKS, OPEN FOR PSGR VEHS (R2) is accurate ?

Still holding traffic on I-80 and Highway 50 tonight in the Sierra due to snow conditions. If you're stuck in traffic, recommend turning around. It's going to be a long wait. Caltrans' QuickMap shows the picture, and it's not pretty for traveling: quickmap.dot.ca.gov

AI = abundant interns

@karrisaarinen @shreyas Agree with this thread about going beyond, but truthfully from my experience talking to some founders... most 'say' they talk to customers but in reality they don't.

@shreyas What does the inverse look like: x.com/karrisaarinen/…

Consider this: if “talk to customers” is the biggest secret to product success, then why aren’t more products successful? Why are so many founders unsuccessful? What explains PMs who’ve been talking to customers 5 times a week for years, without ever making products that win?

@dvdsgl @loom I’ve been using @voicenotesai which has been pretty good for this one use case.

@loom Ok, I made this in Glide in 2 minutes on my iPad and it rocks 😅 I should have more confidence in my own product!

Maybe I’m blind, but how am I having such a hard time achieving this dead-simple AI workflow: I open an app, press record, and talk as long as I want. When I am done, I see the document version of the monologue I just gave and a button to copy or share it.

@antonsten Stirring the pot. 😅

@antonsten Please don’t do that 😂

Thrilled to welcome @joinsummer (cc @ellenjdasilva) to the @pivotalventures portfolio! Today they announced that they've raised an $11.65M Series A from @deenashakir and @AlyssaJoyJaffee to continue their mission to raise the healthiest generation. summerhealth.com/blog/its-alway…

3) @joinsummer goes further to provide specialized care, from nutrition/feeding to sleep and development which most offices do not offer. But parents still desperately need them and widespread provider shortages and high costs mean access to these services is limited too.

@Alfred_Lin @AlyssaJoyJaffee @deenashakir @ellenjdasilva Come join us at jobs.ashbyhq.com/summerhealth P.S. We are hosting a Happy Hour in SF to celebrate our Series A come stop by! partiful.com/e/1JZLxyloHGO3…

@Alfred_Lin @AlyssaJoyJaffee @deenashakir @ellenjdasilva There are too many people who have helped us on our journey, thank you so much! We have a lot to build. If you’re mission-oriented and passionate about increasing pediatric access to all families to raise the healthiest generation of children, we’re hiring!

2 years ago we set our mission to simplify access to healthcare.

As a mom of three kids, I couldn’t imagine a life without @joinsummer. Today, I get to share the honor of announcing that @7wireVentures has led the company’s $11.65M Series A alongside world class investors and close friends. How did this come to be? A 🧵

1/ As a mom of 3, I craved @joinsummer before we built it. Parenting is relentless. We set out to create a product that is delightful for parents and pediatricians. Today we announce our $11.65M Series A led by @AlyssaJoyJaffee and @deenashakir to advance our mission to raise the healthiest generation. summerhealth.com/blog/its-alway…

So excited to have you join the team!

Today’s pediatric care system is not working for parents or pediatricians. @joinsummer is fixing that by radically simplifying access to pediatric care. Since the pre-seed, it’s been a joy to partner with @ellenjdasilva, @MatthewEdanWoo & team. To date, Summer Health has helped families through over 30,000 visits to easily access care. Congrats @joinsummer on the traction and the Series A. summerhealth.com/blog/its-alway…
