@rebeccakaden Congratulations to you all!

@Beezer232 @NinoMarakovic @SapphireVC @SapphirePrtnrs Congrats Beezer!

Personal news update! … I’m joining the venture platform at LGT Capital Partners. It’s been nearly 15 years since I joined @NinoMarakovic at @SapphireVC to help build @SapphirePrtnrs - and hard to believe our working relationship started another 15 years before that at Morgan Stanley waayyy back in 1994. Since that time, it’s been the privilege of a lifetime to work alongside him, and to help build what Sapphire Partners has become. I’m incredibly proud of the team, the relationships, and the managers we’ve had the chance to partner with along the way. That’s always been the most meaningful part. I’m lucky to be making this move alongside @LauraLPThompson , @natewcl , Dan Clayton, Vittorio Reynoso-Avila, and Anna Jacoby. This wasn’t an easy decision, but over time it became clear this was the right step—for our team, for Sapphire, for LGT, and for the managers we support. The opportunity came together naturally through our long relationship with @TKtwitster and the LGT team. I’ve known Thomas for over a decade and have always respected his thoughtful approach to venture. At a high level, this is about alignment and continuing to build—just at greater scale. We’re not changing what we do, just expanding where and how we do it. What made Sapphire so special to me, though, was always the people—the ones who made the work meaningful every day. While I won’t be in the same place day to day, this isn’t a goodbye—just a different way of working together. Grateful to everyone at Sapphire who made the past 15 years so meaningful 💙 I’m taking a short break before starting at LGT on April 15—spending some time with my son before he heads off to college this Fall. A big transition for both of us. 🤲 Looking forward to what’s ahead. 💫✨

@ganeumann Wonderful stuff. Thanks, as always, Jerry!

This chart has been bothering me for a while. Why, with all the new methods we have to build startups, have failure rates stayed the same? So I wrote about it

I am humbled and excited to announce that @step has been acquired by @Beast. Together we are focused on closing the financial literacy gap, amplifying the Step platform and bringing more groundbreaking products to the World. Let’s do this @MrBeast!

@ditzikow @southpkcommons Congrats Dylan! Love working with you.

Excited to share I’m stepping into a Partner role at @southpkcommons, continuing to lead our efforts in NYC. Grateful to the founders I work with & the NYC ecosystem for making the city a true home for technical innovation Still early days, onwards together!

@bonatsos @generalcatalyst What an absolutely legendary run, Niko. Cant wait to see what’s next!

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.

Congratulations @teamshares!

@CREXI_Mike @CREXinc Incredible journey so far…with the best days ahead!

I've spent the last week reflecting on a milestone that deserves more than a single day of celebration. Ten years ago, we started @CREXinc with a straightforward mission: fix what was broken in commercial real estate. The industry was stuck. Deals took months when they should have taken weeks, information sat behind closed doors, and access depended more on who you knew than what you could do. We believed transparency shouldn't be aspirational. It should be operational. A decade later, we've powered over $1T in transactions and helped millions of professionals research, market, transact, and auction properties on one platform. But the number I'm most proud of isn't the transaction volume. It's the access we've created. CRE is no longer a closed system. It's an open marketplace. As we enter our next chapter with the recent release of Crexi Vault and continued AI innovation, I'm energized by what's ahead. The fundamentals still matter: trust, credibility, transparency in how information flows. But now we have the technology to deliver on those principles at a scale we couldn't have imagined ten years ago. To everyone who's been part of this journey (our team, our users, our partners), thank you. You didn't just help build a platform. You helped change an industry. Here's to the next decade. bit.ly/43BNJIX

This morning, @axios broke the news: @aryahealth_ has raised an oversubscribed $18.2M Series A. This capital is fuel for accelerating our mission of using AI to bring humanity back to healthcare delivered across homes, communities, and screens. In a world obsessed with AI, we wanted to remind everyone that behind every algorithm, there are still people - the ones building it, and the ones it’s meant to help. So I asked my 9-year-old daughter Arya - the namesake behind the company - to help me tell the "human story". The story that somewhere along the way, we've made providers really busy with all the "chores" to be done around delivering distributed care. Forms. Portals. Calendars. Clicks. Text Reminders. Desperate phone calls. So busy that they don't have enough time-or resources-for what matters. Connecting deeply with those in need of care. And with those delivering care. We built Arya Health to fix that. Because the most urgent job for AI right now isn’t to become smarter than humans - it’s to make space for more humanity. And for that, it needs the best humans - the builders, dreamers, and doers who believe that technology should make people feel seen, not replaced. If you’re a provider and feel like busywork is keeping you from the humanity in care, please reach out. We'd love to help. If you're a builder and want to build AI with a focus on humanity, please reach out. We need you to move faster. -- Special gratitude to: 1/ @aikeho (@ACME ) for leading our Series A round, 2/ @byronling1 (@twelve_below), @Rosenrosen (@ridgevc) and many other early backers for doubling down on their conviction in Arya, 3/ @ColinEvans34598 (@OpenAI ) for seeing and backing our AI-powered vision, 4/ Industry leaders Fred Johnson, Chris Gerard, Sandra Bell and @guyfriedman for putting their trust in Arya as a customer, 5/ Melinda Phillips for hanging up her home care CEO gloves to come build the future with us, 6/ Arya's co-founder and CTO Arun for being the perfect yin to my yang, 7/ @FinnMurphy12 (@Nebularvc) for reminding me that it's my job to take big bets 8/ Joshua Rahn (Oceans) for reminding me that it's OK to be human 9/ @zachweinberg (Operator) for reminding me that it will take great pain, time and commitment to build the "next Flatiron Health" in NYC 10/ My partner in life Goksu Dogan for reminding me that if this was easy, anyone could do it... 11/ And my little Arya for reminding me every day that building a business is never "just business". It's personal. Especially in healthcare.

@slow @yrechtman smart move

We're excited (and shocked) to announce that @yrechtman is being promoted to Partner. As an explicitly non-expansionary firm there generally is no defined ‘path’ to partner / we don’t really do that. But most great things are exceptions to hard rules

My new book The Art of Spending Money is out now. You can buy it here: morganhousel.com/aosm I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

The @BuffaloBills win probability was as low as 1.1% with 8:37 remaining in the fourth quarter trailing 40-25. This was the most improbable comeback by the Bills with Josh Allen at QB, and the 13th-most improbable comeback by any team over the last decade. Powered by @awscloud

“There are some things that are too important to not try. Loyal would be among those,” says @vkhosla, a long-time Loyal investor. We’re honored to be included in this year’s @Forbes Next Billion-Dollar Startup List.

Figma lore I haven't seen mentioned: Evan Wallace built the precursor to Figma in 24 hours at the April 2011 hackNY Hackathon. He made a website that adds filters to images with WebGL. He won 2nd place and that project became Figma.

Most AI tools are just fancy chatbots. Max is different. Max doesn't talk about work, he does it.

Amazing findings - traffic down not up in the Bronx, Staten Island, and NJ. “Far from being a policy to benefit Manhattan at the expense of the region, [congestion pricing] has resulted in less traffic overall, even in some places that models predicted it could increase.”

@ProfLauraHuang Can’t wait

I was told not to study gut feel. “It’s too fuzzy.” “It’s just a slang term.” “You’ll never get a job.” I studied it anyway. And now it’s a book. Out July 29. Yes—some of it was written at a YMCA while my kid was at basketball practice. #newbook
