protip for stanford undergrads: beware the classes with guest speaker lineups that read like AI coachella. you’re basically paying $5k to listen to a live podcast series.


Airbnb CEO @bchesky says more AI founders should be starting consumer businesses. "I'm on the board of Y Combinator. 87% of companies are enterprise companies per batch." "Enterprise is awesome... but the biggest prize is consumer. That is what's going to reach daily life for billions of people." "Think about all the little parts of daily life that are kind of annoying. Pay attention to whoever's in your life and ask: 'How could their daily life be a little bit easier?'" From his appearance on the show in January.

The entire row is alllllll yours.

Last fall I ran a small matchmaking experiment online that unexpectedly reached ~270,000 people. I ended up matching hundreds of people, and thousands more joined my personal waitlist. So many people in San Francisco are trying to automate love. I understand why - the technology is impressive. You can scale exposure, optimize discovery, and expand access in remarkable ways. But you truly cannot automate resonance. I’m a firm believer in the right introductions and the occasional meet-cute. So I’m starting a community focused on small IRL experiences across SF @missmatchsf <3 If you’re curious, waitlist in bio :)
