@charliermarsh Huge congrats Charlie!!

We've entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team. I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done so far, incredibly grateful to everyone that's supported us, and incredibly excited to keep building tools that make programming feel different.

@ericvishria Epic

With the IBM’s $11B acquisition of Confluent officially closing, I want to say congrats to the entire team for navigating the tricky course from open source Kafka support to open core to single-tenant cloud to multi-tenant cloud and all the ensuing GTM changes along the way and 5 (chaotic) years as a public co. The company relentlessly built >$1B business (actual revenue not last wk x 52 :-)) under the incredible leadership of @jaykreps and fantastic execution from the team. On a personal note I've been lucky enough to serve on the board from Day 1 to Day End through our investment @benchmark. It was my first investment and I learned so much along the way. Thank you to Jay, @nehanarkhede and @junrao for choosing to work with us in 2014 and the adventure along the way!

@SSteyer41 congrats guys! @boo

We now get the privilege to work even harder on this!

@BobbySamuels really excited for the @withprotegeai team to take this on!

6 years to the day since the pandemic was declared in the U.S. How time flies. And yet the world feels so fundamentally different today.

@ChKashifAli @garrytan 👏🏽👏🏽

"I didn't see that" is how you lose trust, opportunities, and pitches. Signal Alerts is one of the coolest features in our new Insights product built to save you from that forevermore. You set (any) parameters—exec mentions, product launches, competitor moves, whatever. Waldo monitors 15 signal types across social, news, video, and images. Then pushes updates to e-mail, Slack, or Teams. You see it first. You don't stutter. Clients never ask twice. Check it out 👇️

We're automating @elicitorg. When everyone goes on holiday in December, the company keeps running. Bugs triaged. Features shipped. Metrics dutifully updated by robots who don't know it's Christmas. Step one: figure out what to automate. I set up a Notion database, asked people to decompose their work into triggers, steps, outputs. Turns out this was the wrong question…

Today, we're launching AI Vision. The first AI slop detector that exposes content as you scroll.

@ChrisJBakke @ikirigin as a graduate of Menlo School this is delightful

@ikirigin Wow I really San Fran’d myself there

You could get a job at a frontier AI lab in SF for $4.3M TC and buy this starter home in Menlo for $7.3M. Then meet a nice girl at the LinkedIn Cafe and take her on a date to a Capital One Cafe by Brex. Get married in a Waymo and send your kids to The Menlo School. But you will not.

Signed a new investment yesterday. As we dug in, founder told us in passing that because he manages the business on a weekly cadence, he’s been sending a weekly update to his pre-seed investors. Sometimes the update is just one line: revenue (weekly growth rate %). Bullish.

@brettberson and what is amazing is that you've had this take for 15 years... and been right the whole way through 🤣

Few businesses are as dysfunctional as the average venture firm.

@EzraMoGee Love this, congrats Ezra!

Dear Mark, thank you for putting me on the map as an investor. Thank you for taking the time to pursue a lowly associate who had no standing + treat me as an equal. For inviting me to board mtgs. I wouldn't have a job today without you taking our money and telling ppl about me.
