@ettinger @vbahkk @usvc_ @AngelList @otherkindstudio design comes easy when the message is that beautiful

everything @vbahkk & @tjcages design blows me away. (and makes my copy look so much better) @usvc_ by @AngelList is the simplest way to invest in venture capital brand design & reel by @otherkindstudio:

Every year, $2.7 trillion moves through the U.S. economy on PDFs, phone calls, and faxes. The companies getting parts to data centers, equipment to hospitals, components to factory floors. Most still quote jobs by hand: a rep spends hours matching a 300-line order to the catalog and keying it into an ERP from the 90s, and by the time the quote goes out, a faster competitor has won. Faction removes the friction One platform works across your entire operation (sales, purchasing, planning, finance) that integrates with any system you run. Scan emails, PDFs, and spreadsheets, match vague product descriptions to your catalog, apply customer-specific pricing, and push complete quotes to your ERP in seconds. Faction's voice agents handle inbound calls around the clock — answering pricing and availability questions from live data, capturing orders without manual entry. Quote, source, sell, get paid — at the speed the physical world demands. For the distributors of the future.

@AlexCKaufman @TheEconomist @eniiler @CorbinHiar @orbuch @lowercarbon @robinsonmeyer !! it may or may not be true that I have Robinson to thank for being engaged to work on this in the first place

@ettinger @TheEconomist @eniiler @CorbinHiar @orbuch @lowercarbon Don’t forget to include @robinsonmeyer, who scooped us all on Stardust’s big fundraise last year.

🆕 Wordsss for Stardust: building humanity's thermostat. What if we could turn down global temperatures? Stardust's Sunlight Reflection Technology (SRT) introduces safe particles into the high atmosphere yo reflect a small fraction of sunlight — a controllable, reversible way to stabilize temperatures. To give civilization a new capability to manage climate risk and protect populations from the accelerating impacts of warming. Climate stability enables prosperity, protects vulnerable ecosystems, and lets us build rather than merely adapt.

@DylanAbruscato he was named after the jeans, no?

@ettinger Paolo!

a lot of people have been asking me for an ID on my jeans here... Studio Nicholson - Paolo (Indigo)

From The New Yorker to Notion: the technology world is very lucky to have @iscoe thinking about it full-time. And @NotionHQ is assembling quite a team...

All aboard! Adam @iscoe summer baby 🚢🫡

@waqasali we love simplicity

@ettinger love the simplicity of the homepage!

🆕 Wordsss for Kyber: real-time control for every machine. Latency is dangerous. At 200ms of delay, a remote-controlled vehicle has traveled beyond where you intended to stop it. A surgical instrument is no longer where an incision was supposed to be made. Kyber's latency is below the human perception threshold — allowing instant, secure control of robots, drones, surgical systems, remote workstations... from anywhere. Kyber makes distance disappear.

@jacksondahl color (grading) person

Looking for an awesome color (grading) person. Who should I talk to?

@luxuryfounder @Jack_Raines beauty inspires

@ettinger @Jack_Raines Do you believe people work out harder and more effectively if they're around sexier people? Or do they become more self-conscious? Personally, I assume the latter.

Chelsea Piers Fitness totally mogs Equinox. 10x more space, similar-to-nicer equipment, normal humans, whole brand doesn't feel overtly sexualized. 10/10 would recommend. Equinox is WOATed.
