It is with profound sadness that we share the news of Om Malik’s passing. It’s difficult to state the impact that @om had on all of our lives at True. Om was the first Founder we funded when we started True. In our Presidio office, Om discussed his idea for a new type of media company. That idea would later become GigaOm. Om was a brilliant Founder, an amazing teammate and Partner at True, a prolific writer, a gifted photographer, and a sage and valuable advisor to so many in the technology ecosystem. Om was brilliant, thoughtful, humorous, profoundly kind, and deeply curious. He was also relentless when he had an idea or story. Om was brave - he never shied away from sharing his views or pushing for the truth. We were very, very lucky to call Om our Partner and friend at True for these last many years. For today, we simply encourage you to take a moment to remember this beautiful soul and great thinker who was in our midst. He would ask us to slow down a bit. Om would want us to think deeper, express our love for one another a lot more. Above all else, Om wanted us all to retain our humanity and care for each other in our brilliant quest to rebuild the world. We love you Om. Team True om.co/2026/06/24/196…

what a loss. @om was a huge inspiration. a great reporter and writer, bold pioneer of DIY publishing and a warm, generous soul. RIP om.co/2026/06/24/196…

It's been a little while since I've shared my views on European tech, but this is an important moment - so I wanted to say thank you @Tim and the @FT Tech Exchange for the sit down. A few thoughts on why I think Europe is at the beginning of an Act Two moment. 🧵

Brilliant read on all the ways that Elon is exerting his control over SpaceX in the upcoming IPO by @sjhmorris @GeorgeNHammond @rwmcmorrow. It’s like a corporate governance masterclass in reverse. Investors are lapping it up anyway.

@siddkhastgir @FT @wef @HVM_Catapult @transportgovuk @biztradegovuk thanks so much for being a part of our event

Had a brilliant, fun & sometimes fiery panel discussion at the @FT 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭, together with my brilliant panellists Maria J. Alonso @wef, James Chai, Stephen Marvin, & brilliantly moderated by @tim @FT. Discussing the safety frameworks for automated driving and regulatory readiness, it is clear that the UK has springboarded other nations in both thinking and deployment focus of #selfdriving vehicles. The #FTFutureOfTheCar Summit remains the highlight auto-industry event of the year to gauge the subtle & not so subtle trends of the automotive industry. With 20+ CEOs from Antonio Filosa @Stellantis to Håkan Samuelsson @volvocars to Ivan Espinosa @NissanMotor, always amazed by the poise with which @KanaInagaki interviews one Chief Executive after another at the event. Hats off to you... 🙏 And huge congratulations & gratitutde to the wider team at @FT @ftlive for putting together a brilliant programme again this year. You have taken it many notches up & should be proud of yourselves... 👍 #FTCar #AutonomousVehicles #selfdriving #FTLive

@charlesarthur 🫡 thanks charles. that scoop like many others over the years was very much a team @ft effort

Think that everyone should acknowledge that @tim - Tim Bradshaw - has been one of the very best, if not *the* best, technology reporters in terms of dead-on scoops for well over a decade now. Consistent accuracy is *really* hard. (And he's a nice guy too.)

Mistral's revenue numbers are impressive and growing insanely fast but the bit that's most exciting as an investor is the durability of this revenue. Mistral selects who they work with carefully to ensure they actually achieve AI transformation.
