New blog post: The third wave of American philanthropy Hundreds of billions of dollars in new philanthropic capital will soon become liquid. The OpenAI Foundation holds 26% of OpenAI, worth about $220B at today’s valuation. Anthropic’s seven co-founders have pledged to give away 80% of their wealth and have instituted the most aggressive donor matching program for employees in tech history. How much does this all add up to? And how meaningful is that in the context of philanthropy today? I was doing some simple napkin math to wrap my head around the scale of what’s coming, and radicalized myself in the process. I had dramatically underappreciated the scale of the philanthropic capital that’s about to become available and the corresponding gap in talent and organizations that will be needed to make the most of it.

He can't stop the next 48 hours.

Andy Constan on how active investors can adjust in a bubble regime.

🚨BREAKING: IRAN’S INTERNET BLACKOUT IS ENDING. NOW COMES THE TRUTH. After 87 days of digital blackout, Iran is reportedly restoring internet access to its pre-January 2026 status. That means the regime may be about to lose control of the narrative.
