CRV

Thank you @brittwalker_ for the DPI and to the @aryanxshah & the Metis team for being exceptional partners. We appreciate all the incredible work you do.

Today was a fun day to be a VC. I went from seeing a working robot in the AM to demoing a next-generation interface for AI engagement. Purposely staying a bit vague here 😊 The world of the weird and wonderful has never been more exciting.

It’s an honor to welcome Mitchell Hashimoto to the @vercel board. Mitchell built both an incredible company and foundational infrastructure, always putting open source and developers first. As the world is rebuilt with AI, I can’t think of a better person than an exceptional thinker like Mitchell to help us define the Agentic Infrastructure of the future. I can tell you the hype is real btw. Just having worked closely with him only for a few weeks, I see the magic. And, it also doesn’t hurt to have a *checks notes* direct line to ask for Ghostty features like session restoration and vertical tabs 😆

Just over six months ago, we led the seed round for @withmetisai. As we spent time with @aryanxshah, Aayush, and Marcus getting the company off the ground, it was clear that they were a team that we had to be in business with. It's no surprise that the folks at DoorDash felt the same way, first as a significant early customer and now as they announce the acquisition of Metis. Huge congrats to the team, thrilled to have been part of the journey @CRV! @miakrishh @reidRMC

Excited to share that I've joined Vercel's Board of Directors. Vercel is made up of builders and tastemakers that continually ship things that deeply impact how developers work: Next.js, AI SDK, v0, etc. I can't think of a more exciting place to be. Let's fucking ship. ▲ My relationship with Vercel goes back to the earliest days. HashiCorp was an early adopter of NextJS and Vercel (~10 years ago!) and it remains my default tech stack and deployment platform to this day. Ghostty's website is all on Vercel, too! Beyond that, I've been continually impressed with the teams relentless focus on shipping meaningful software. And importantly, software that has incredible taste. Now we are in the age of agentic software development. Vercel is building agentic infrastructure that I think every app and agent will need (I certainly need it!) and I can't think of a more exciting place to be. Huge thanks to @rauchg , Jeanne, Marten, @cramforce, @tomocchino and the entire Vercel team for the warm welcome. Time to work.

You can tell by the questions a prospective investor asks you about your portfolio company whether they have someone or multiple folks in partnership they need to convince (vs confirmatory dd) and if they are ultimately going to get there or not. Rarely have I been surprised.

It's incredibly exciting to finally announce our seed investment in Standard Template Labs, the new company founded by my dear friend Amit Agarwal, alongside our partners at @ICONIQCapital. Here's our blog post about the investment: medium.com/crv-insights/a…

Introducing the Search API, powered by @ExaAILabs. In our benchmarking, browser agents are up to 3x faster when using integrated search. Your agents deserve the best search. Starting today, agents built on Browserbase get 1,000 free searches per month.

It is comical to me how VCs all "independently" decide that the same obvious founder is uniquely special/spikey and suddenly it becomes the hot deal of the week… but like every week. Pitch may be diff, but profile is almost identical 😂
