I want to share some difficult news. I was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and I want you to hear it directly from me. Treatment is starting immediately and will include multiple strategies over the course of about a year. While I will be stepping back from some of my usual activities, I will continue to support SV Angel founders, who I love with a passion. SV Angel remains unchanged. Topher has made all of our investment decisions for the better part of the last decade, and Ronny joined as Managing Partner in 2024. They bring experience from nearly every major technology cycle in Silicon Valley and are now focused on partnering with founders building the future of AI. SV Angel has a deep, experienced team that remains fully focused on supporting exceptional founders. With a more focused and balanced schedule, I can prioritize treatments while helping SV Angel founders at inflection points like we always do! I’ve chosen not to share the specific type of cancer since I don't want speculation about my prognosis. I appreciate your understanding and respect for this. I am optimistic about my prognosis. I am fortunate to have the best/amazing team of UCSF doctors in San Francisco, and as you know, I never back down from a fight. Thank you for your support, it means a great deal to me.

@PrimalNick @DraftedAI So excited for you Nick + @DraftedAI team!

As a kid, I used to create Minecraft maps that millions of people played on. My dream is to bring that same creativity to the real world. I want the physical world to become as inspiring as the internet has been. So I started a new company, @DraftedAI, to solve this!

Be yourself..

Today I turn 30. That means I've spent over 25% of my life working on startups, which feels pretty unreal. I've found one trick that keeps me going, even when things aren't going well. And of course, it came from Matthew McConaughey... When I'm doubting myself, I think of what my 20-year-old self would say if they met me. That version of me would be shocked and amazed. It's a great reminder that I've greatly exceeded my own expectations, and I'm probably underestimating what the future holds. When I'm facing an incredible challenge, I think of what my 40-year-old self would say. Almost always, this version of me is laughing. As if, no matter how impossible this current challenge seems, I'm likely making it seem more dire than it actually is. The gap between who we were and who we'll become is where all the magic happens. Here's to another decade of becoming.

@pitdesi @klarnaseb many such cases

Klarna was one of the first to go all-in on AI, replacing 700 customer service staff last year. Now CEO @klarnaseb says they focused too much on cost and hurt quality, so they’re investing in humans again and will let customers talk to real people.

@awwstn i was just thinking about this!

crazy that the chicago area produced obama kanye american pope me michael jordan

fbf to 8 years ago when I visited SF (before it *really* got bad) and was chased by a homeless lady through the Tenderloin who kept yelling "hello gorgeous" at me while I was trying to talk to somebody on the phone.

sf should just put these up around the tenderloin and call it a day.

feeling excited in a way that’s quiet and hard to tweet about

founders will really hear “build what people want” look at their Linear board full of tickets and go build an MCP server nobody asked for

tahoe powder in the morning. piano in sf by sunset. only in california.

happy easter! may something that has felt far away come close again.

guys I know you don't want to hear this bc consensus is hard and caring is "cringe" etc. but we really need to start believing in stuff again or this whole world is gonna crash and burn

@davidpco i was born to pick a side without knowing the full story

@colemanoates my god to be peripherally involved in a protracted blood feud

i don’t need a vacation i need to be dropped into a small town with no internet and a local rivalry i slowly get involved in

@sofi_a wait same

for every 10 parties i've "attended" on partiful, i've hosted one. not bad!

i regret to inform you that going for a run every day has solved all of my problems
