This is one of the most moronic decisions in recent years. Focus on your core. Shopify still uses Stripe. Enough said. Excited for Kirkland to join Legora when they fail with this.

more vc associates/principals should be starting funds in this cycle, the boomer partners simply don't get it anymore josh kushner started thrive at 24 neil mehta started greenoaks at 28 dm me if this is you. i'll be your first LP

Spectacular ad for GC to dunk on the current moment But "we actually have a really high bar for responsibility around these things" rings hollow when you're a major investor in kalshi and polymarket. Maybe I'm misreading the ad's intent

Contrast the cultural frenzy around structural mass unemployment and a coming “permanent underclass” with the way smart money is investing. Thrive agreed to take a minority stake in a sports team. The AGI themes around scarcity, leisure, live entertainment, etc. are obvious. But this doesn’t strike me as a deal one makes if they expect mass unemployment in a post-AI world. Franchise values depend on lucrative TV deals, which depend on brand/advertiser willingness to pay, which is inherently a bet on strong American consumers, not ones reliant on meager UBI checks. LLMH announced a take-private of a corporate travel management business. The opportunity to infuse AI and deliver better customer experiences at higher margins is exciting. This deal, too, seems bullish for labor in a post-AI world. Corporate travel management is not particularly valuable if you believe mass unemployment is coming and humans will be replaced by agents; our little French colleague Claude doesn’t need an EWR-SFO ticket and a room at the 1 Hotel.

We designed Olto to be the ultimate bike lane vehicle. Two passengers. 40 miles of range. Cargo capacity. Theft proof. No license, no registration, no insurance. $3,495, about a quarter of what the average used car costs. Bike-lane legal in 50 states. Olto is now shipping nationwide. To celebrate, we’re launching our Spring Campaign featuring ~100 New Yorkers from all walks of life. It goes live today around NYC and on the internet. We’re very excited for Olto to be in the world and for all kinds of people to make it a part of their lives. Oh the places you will go.

The lack of a real account switcher for Claude is so painful. I have to use my fully personal version exclusively via desktop safari if i want it fully divorced from Slow

the venture capital bloodbath is coming and most vcs have zero idea agents will replace 90% of what associates and principals actually do: • deal sourcing through network analysis • due diligence via automated data mining • portfolio monitoring with real-time metrics • pattern matching across 10,000x more deals what exactly are you getting paid for when an agent can analyze every startup in your sector in 3 minutes? the entire industry is built on information asymmetry that ai just eliminated most funds will become algorithmic within 24 months the only vcs who survive are the ones who can actually build companies, not just write checks and send intros

Introducing Dasher Tasks Dashers can now get paid to do general tasks. We think this will be huge for building the frontier of physical intelligence. Look forward to seeing where this goes!
