We need a step-change in how we approach robotics if we want our industries to stay internationally competitive. We’re excited to partner with @tutorintel to bring robotics and automation to the long tail of American factories and warehouses. Their platform lets robots deploy instantly and operate at a fraction of the traditional cost. Most importantly, they’re already in the field today.

I spent a day at the @tutorintel office chatting with @joshgruenstein on what it takes to bring rapidly deployed robotics to industrial scale. Check it out here (and catch my test drive of an in-the-works new model):

We’re paying close attention to the open architecture emerging around AI agents. MCP, CLIs, skills, and protocols like x402 are becoming the Lego bricks of a new layer where agents can act, pay, and compose across the web. If you're building new native capabilities for agents, we’d love to talk.

Reminded constantly these days that much of the best recruiting (on product, eng, but, maybe, everything?) is no longer based on experience and reps but around spotting the people that run towards the tools they don't yet know and gobble up learning how to use them, quickly and repeatedly.

I'm proud to be @jamdotdev's new CEO. Thank you to @thedanigrant whose vision + tenacity is undeniable. She'll step back to recover from a health issue. 15M Jams. 85k uses/day. And our mission won't change: fix software faster so builders can change the world sooner. LG!

We believe the next chapter of manufacturing will be more distributed, more adaptive, and more software-driven. Excited to back @AFitzgerald1992 and the Isembard team.

Today @IsembardGroup announces our $50m Series A. More factories, more engineers, more countries. If not now, when... 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇩🇪🇫🇷🇺🇦

We are in a moment of massive manufacturing need and @IsembardGroup sits right at the intersection of 3 happening simultaneously and quickly: 1/ A massively and quickly increasing demand for fast, flexible, and local manufacturing around aerospace, defense, and robotics. 2/ Increasing labor displacement fueling a resurgence in an SMB economy and individuals' desires to own their own destinies/run their own businesses. 3/ Agentic operating systems allowing for fast set ups, networked management, better results, and demand distribution. @IsembardGroup's franchise model and capital efficient approach is allowing incredibly fast scaling, with 25 factories by the end of this year across the US and Europe. @AFitzgerald1992 and his team are well on the path to delivering components 10x faster and 50% cheaper than current suppliers. We are thrilled to lead their $50M Series A @usv as they create the dominant decentralized manufacturing network.

The best discussions this week were about what happens when software becomes ephemeral. The constraints move to attention, risk, and intent. More below:

When we invested in @coinbase in 2013, we believed Bitcoin represented a powerful open protocol for transferring value on the internet. We also believed we were early and much needed to be built. More than a decade later, it’s remarkable to see how far the ecosystem has come. And how much still remains to be done. Great conversation between @brian_armstrong and @davidsenra.

The best discussions this week were about intent becoming the stable layer of software. When code is abundant and rewritten continuously, the hard part is keeping large systems aligned with what they’re meant to do. More below:
