@MattHartman @openclaw @Replit @ai was just mentioning this. You two should talk! 👇🏽

The @openclaw + Mac mini explosion proves power users (prosumers) want always-on agents with access to their data. Not their data locked in a siloed app cloud. We need a Personal AWS. A private backend where our files, context, and compute are portable across any agent we spin up. The stack is upside down today.

Who is making an @openclaw but for normies? it would probably:
- run on its own private EC2 instance out of the box
- have its own email, calendar, browser set up out of the box (piggy bad application level Google credentials)
- other platform-level credentials like @Replit (eg platform-wide eleven labs account vs making you go sign up if you need it — with direct clear access to security credentials)
- it might live in its own mobile app (not sure about this one)
- would probably have some metaphors that abstract some of the technical features of Clawdbot — eg if it’s built on discord maybe there are a few pre-specified channels, or a server metaphor
- probably have @moltbook built in (so the AI’s can learn from each other,but securely

Honored to be recognized by @BusinessInsider alongside so many venture investors I admire.
Thank you to my incredible colleagues at @villageglobal for their constant partnership and support, and a special shoutout to the one and only @adwane for teaching me everything I know about this job.

After 15 wonderful years @generalcatalyst I am moving on to new adventures. The best days for GC are ahead! Super grateful to every single one of my teammates that I had the fortune to work with over the years. I learned a lot. Very thankful to our limited partners too for their long-term support. Equally importantly, it's been the privilege of a lifetime to work with so many inspiring tech startup founders from the very early days.

Quick video from the floor of #FII9 in Riyadh 🇸🇦
A remarkable gathering — from energy to AI, tokenization to quantum, every conversation is global in scale and ambition.
@FIIKSA is a special place to get such a BIG THINK perspective across asset classes and industries.
Here’s a peek at what everyone’s talking about and the *vibe* of the show floor 👇👇

Had the pleasure of hosting @courtneyrmccrea, Managing Partner of @RecastCapital, on @vcmastermind.
Courtney has backed 100+ funds and now focuses exclusively on emerging managers — because the data shows they can outperform.
We talk LP psychology, GP storytelling, and why YOU are the differentiator.

Some exciting news!
I’m thrilled to announce that I’m now an Investment Partner at @villageglobal, where I’ll continue to lead pre-seed/seed rounds across categories and geographies.
These last two years at Village have been a dream come true, and I can’t wait to take on a larger role at our firm. Thank you to @adwane, @bencasnocha, @amritcat, and @reidhoffman for continuing to take a chance on me and all of my colleagues at Village for their support and mentorship.
In my time at Village Global, we have backed several incredible new companies such as @P_1_AI, @maisaAI_, @interaction, @MagicPathAI, @1BlossomHealth, and many more still in stealth!
We’ve also seen numerous existing portfolio companies become unicorns – e.g. @ApexSpacecraft, @fal, @lifeschemistry, and Peregrine — and it’s been a privilege to learn from the journeys of these extraordinary founders.
My title may now be different, but the job remains the same. Back incredible founders. If you’re building a genre-defining company, please drop us a line!

Have you read this? @RibbitCapital’s new Token Letter lays out the future of AI and the road ahead. Reminds me of the early days of mobile when everything was so opaque and, in hindsight, so obvious. Maybe the most formative synthesis of the AI shift we’re experiencing everyday. This is the future. Let’s build it.

@mickymalka can see around corners; stoked for how he sees the next decade shaping up. I couldn’t agree more.
TBPN@tbpn
We talked to Micky Malka (@mickymalka), the founder of Ribbit Capital and early backer of Coinbase, Robinhood, Bridge about what’s coming next. "I’m more excited for the next decade than the last." “Everything is a token. We call it the token factory revolution; tokenizing information, money, and power.” AI, payments, and financial services are converging fast, and tokens are becoming the raw material for decision-making, coordination, and access. Micky sees a new stack forming where every company is either building, supplying, or orchestrating tokens. And he bets on a generation of young founders who are native to this shift: “Their brains are just faster. The best ones are already building access tokens, expert tokens, asset tokens… stablecoins were only the first chapter.”
