It's strange to see the holdout of software engineers clinging to writing all code by hand
Sure, there is a time and a place, but to think the most optimal or correct way to ship code in 2026 is to write 100% of it by hand is purely nuts

My goal when I became a full time investor was to be the type of partner I would have most wanted during my time building a company: someone who had done the work I was doing before, who had the network to help me reach my goals faster, and who had my back no matter what.
I’m really happy to share that we’ve raised Alt Cap II, a $275M early stage fund.
We backed ~20 companies at Seed and Series A in Alt Cap I. The new fund will be the same structure with a bit larger checks. But mostly we just want to be in business with people who inspire us.
There’s no way to say it without sounding cheesy but it’s true; I feel unbelievably lucky to do this job in the way I get to do it.
A special thanks to the founders that let us back them in Alt Cap I, you all are what it’s all about for me!

I’m excited to announce my newest venture: Listener.com.
For nearly a decade, podcasting has been at the center of my life.
I launched my show in 2017, and it’s led to hundreds of interviews with world-class founders and creators. That podcast opened doors I never expected, introducing me to investors, partners, and customers, and ultimately shaping the foundation of my career.
But podcasting has changed.
What we call a “podcast” today goes far beyond audio. Shows now live across YouTube, TikTok, Spotify, Apple, and social platforms, but the data behind them remains fragmented.
There’s no single place to truly understand your audience, track your growth, or clearly communicate your value. And that’s a problem if you’re trying to grow your show, attract sponsors, or make more money. So today, I’m proud to share what we’ve been working on.
@Listener is an AI-powered listener analytics platform built for modern podcasts, networks, and publishers.
We bring podcast and social data into one clean dashboard, giving podcasters, agencies, and networks a complete view of their audience, performance, and cross-platform growth.
It’s not just another analytics tool, it’s the infrastructure layer this industry has been missing. Because while podcasting is built on listeners, it’s the teams behind the content who need better tools.
If you host a show, manage a network, or work in the podcasting space, I’d love to connect and show you what we’ve built.

Episode #92: How AI Changes Governments & Business Models @MikeVichich is the Co-founder and CEO of Pursuit, which helps companies drive more revenue from the public sector. We talk about how AI is changing Helmer’s 7 Powers, how it’s impacting the government, if DOGE is actually working, building a startup in the Midwest (specifically Ann Arbor, MI), and how to disagree with your team. We also get into Mike’s prior company Wisely, and how they went from $11 in the bank account and unable to run payroll for six months, to over $10 million ARR and a $187 million exit to public company Olo a few years later. Thanks to @jaltma and @Blakeir for their help brainstorming good topics for Mike! Full episode here on X, or grab a link in the replies.

Vicious rumors circulating following my appearance on @tbpn yesterday. I did not pay @jordihays to wear a hat so as not to get embarrassed by his flawless hair.
I did however use conditioner. It was for its longevity effects however. Not for hair enhancement.
