everything hallelujah 🙏🏼🤍 #everythinghallelujah #justinbieber #meetthedrapers #entrepreneurship #startup

Back in the office after a run of conferences, more inspired than ever. I had solid conversations with elite builders. Founder moments I won’t forget: hearing @Saylor mention Hermetica on stage and pitching Hermetica live on @StreamDraperTV. More than anything, it was the rooms full of people who were genuinely optimistic about the future of on-chain finance. Back at it. Heads down. Building.

Las Vegas Bitcoin Conference → Half Moon Bay Draper Summit. Two episodes. Back to back. The pitches were incredible and the stakes were real. Be sure to follow us on our America tour and root for your favorite founder.

Decades in media. Multiple companies built from scratch. Argentina knows #MarioPergolini as a legend, and he didn't get here by accident 🎙️ Watch him break down a pitch on the @meetthedrapers Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 episode! #MeetTheDrapers #MarioPergolini #BuenosAires #Startup #Entrepreneur

Blink and you’ll catch a BTCFi founder cameo. Had a great time with @StreamDraperTV.

We just wrapped Draper Summit 2026 at Half Moon Bay. Every year we host this reunion of people who are changing the world. We heard from some of the top leaders today including: Baiju Bhatt, Founder of Robinhood → Aetherflux (this man does not slow down) Rosie Rios, former Treasurer of the United States. Rob Kaplan, Vice Chairman of Goldman Sachs. Sal Khan, who is revolutionizing how every human on Earth learns. The conversations were so futuristic, you would have to hear it from our entrepreneurs to believe it. HexemBio is rejuvenating all your blood cells. There were stealth companies regenerating limbs via bioelectricity, replacing brain cells, and rethinking human reproduction entirely via artificial wombs. Muse Bio launched the world's first topical rejuvenative serum made from menstrual blood stem cells - promoting scarless healing and glowing skin. Autolane is building the orchestration layer the autonomous world needs to function. Feltsense is building founder agents that source ideas, build product, and go to market without a human in the loop (they replicated the entire YC batch a few weeks ago). Venus Aerospace is developing the most efficient rocket engine ever built. Gemma Robotics sent a robot to autonomously apply professional make up - airbrushed foundation, contour, etc. The results were fantastic. And we live taped Meet the Drapers Silicon Valley! You'll have to tune in to see the winner… Another summit in the books, for the books. The greatest takeaway about what made Draper summit successful: We all were able to spend time in a beautiful location, learning about frontier tech, getting to know each other deeply, and creating real, meaningful friendships while simply having a lot of fun. At Draper, we know that VC runs on relationships that compound over decades. We are here to build trust with you as you build generational companies. Thank you to all our LPs, founders, ecosystem members, co-investors, and of course the relentless Draper team for coming and making this all possible. Let me know in the comments if you should come next year. Hope to see you there.
