We build companies and invest in founders at the earliest stage. Building with: 💡Idea-stage founders 🤯Pre-trend thinkers 🙏Founders looking for a community

You can just do things because people are just making things up

Invested in @aibek_design and @bjankovic when they were pushing the early limits of AI design. Thrilled to see this finally launch, congrats @usewonder team!

@usewonder Congrats on the launch y’all 🥲

Every time you switch between design and code, you lose something, your momentum, your fidelity, or your vision. The gap between what you designed and what ships has always been the cost of building. That’s why we built Wonder, a design tool where everything you create is backed by real code. Public Alpha is now live at wonder.design

Orion has raised $22m to transform longevity through better sleep. Now you can sleep soundly without forced subscriptions.

@ProulxKerem does this settle the bet that offense is in fact the best defense?

Our autonomous pentesting agent just outperformed the two most popular open source offensive security agents on a benchmark of 60 modern, defense-enabled web apps. Battle-tested in production against our customers' environments from startups to financial institutions, Apex consistently finds and exploits critical vulnerabilities other agents and humans miss. Today we're releasing it open source alongside our internal benchmarks.

For founders looking to apply: antler.co/usa

We raised $160m to invest in inception-stage founders. In WSJ this morning announcing our new US Fund II. If you're looking to build with us in person in our San Francisco Studio, send in an application to tell us a little bit about what you're building and who you are.

There’s no reason why an advisor or fractional person should reach out cold to investors on your behalf. It’s weak signaling as best, confuses the message and the messenger. Way too easy to send good cold emails to be making this mistake.

@FurqanR I'm in

Over the past month, we built one of the most capable agents in getting digital tasks done. It can understand and implement any API on the internet, access your data and do your work for you. Getting closer to launch, looking for people who want to test and break it. If you've used workflow builders like n8n and want to test reply below i'll send you a link to try it for free.

@beaversteever Dawg someone please help me with my backhand

the worst part about being self-made is having to learn tennis at 30 instead of 8

it’s nearly impossible to build an enduring business in fitness or diets. the reason they becomes fads isn’t because they don’t work, it’s because you lose the ability to brag about it. If it’s not a status symbol anymore consumers move on to the next thing that makes them look special. Soulcycle and CrossFit are facing this exact issue now.

@nikunj Or endless one-off classes at Stanford

Do you think the folks over at LinkedIn realize the greater number of | you have in your bio, the less people think of you.. thought leader | angel investor | product maestro | visionary | cooking | stealth startup

Remember Jasper ai?

@alyssakrejmas We are here, and we are suddenly going to bed earlier than we thought we would

I want to know where the 27-32 years olds in SF are hiding, have not met very many
