The General Partnership ("TheGP")

NEW from The General Podcast: the "design founder" episode. @brian_lovin x @wjosephflynn Before this conversation, Brian and Joey had never actually met, but had surprisingly parallel careers. Both spent early years at Facebook, both started multiple companies, both found their way into some of the most design-forward product orgs today, and both were nominated to come on the show by legendary design leader, @soleio. This one's for the designers. Tune in👇🎧

Not usually how I make intros, but since they’re two design giants meeting on camera for the first time, you should watch this terrific convo. @wjosephflynn 🤝 @brian_lovin

TheGP has always believed the best way to support technical founders is to build with them. Today, we’re excited to announce @dpup as our first CTO, helping us deepen that work as AI changes what small teams can build and how companies get formed. Read more from @phineasb & @dan_portillo on the announcement below.

Huge congrats to @RattrayAlex and the @StainlessAPI team on joining Anthropic. We’re proud to have backed them since the beginning and worked alongside them as they built the API infrastructure developers and agents now rely on. From the start, Stainless had a clear view that developer experience is not a layer on top of the product. For API companies, it is the product. As agents become a primary way software gets used, SDKs, docs, and auth become even more load-bearing. Stainless saw that shift early and kept shipping at a quality bar the most discerning teams could trust. Excited to see what the team builds next. Anthropic got a great one.

Anthropic is acquiring @stainlessapi, an SDK and MCP server platform that has powered every Anthropic SDK since the earliest days of our API. Read more: anthropic.com/news/anthropic…

What if software companies stopped making software? “Historically, when a craft evolves into mass production, sources of value creation shift. For decades, code was treated as the core asset in technology. Companies that wrote the software also owned the production process, the customer relationship, and the product vision inside one organization. AI is beginning to pull those pieces apart." - @phineasb The same thing happened in sneakers. Read the full essay:
