A CEO from one of our portfolio companies shared this with their team. I’m re-sharing it with their permission, because it resonated and reflects what all founders and CEOs should be communicating.

We are living through a period of compounding change. And in moments like this, the biggest risk is no longer making the wrong decision. It is moving too slowly while the world moves around you.
There are two paths. We can play defense:
- Protect what we have
- Optimize what works
- Wait for clarity
It feels safe. It isn’t.
Or we can play offense:
- Learn faster than the environment changes
- Use new tools to solve old problems in better ways
- And create entirely new strategies and businesses
That’s where the opportunity is.
Challenge yourself to do things faster and better than you have ever attempted. Stay uncomfortable. Stay on the front foot.

If you want to join a special team bringing AI to CPG - they are hiring 🚀
Akash Raju@akashraju4
I’m extremely excited to announce that @try_glimpse has raised a $35M Series A led by @a16z with continued participation from @8vc & @ycombinator bringing our total raised to $52M. At Glimpse, we’re building the AI-native infrastructure for CPG & retail brands. We started off automating the deductions workflow - recovering brands millions of dollars back into their P&L & saving dozens of hours every week. With this initial focus, we’ve also built the CPG data layer giving us the opportunity to continue expanding to more manual workflows that can be automated. We’re giving CPG brands real operating leverage in the world of AI. To our 200+ customers including PLTFRM, Evermark, IQ Bar, Alice Mushrooms, and more, thank you for your faith in us. We have more fuel now to keep supporting & scaling with you all. We’re hiring - come join us! We’re just getting started.

New York is about to make a massive mistake. The NY State Senate is advancing a proposal to decouple from federal QSBS (Section 1202) — the tax provision that lets startup founders exclude gains on qualifying exits. If this passes, founders would owe 10-13% in combined state and city tax on exits that are tax-free at the federal level and in nearly every other major tech state. Even worse: it's retroactive to January 1, 2025. This comes right as the federal government just expanded QSBS benefits and New Jersey moved to full conformity. New York wants to go in the opposite direction.
As a seed investor in NYC who has backed hundreds of companies, I can tell you: founders are mobile. If New York becomes one of the most punitive states for startup exits, the best founders will simply build somewhere else — and the jobs, tax revenue, and innovation will follow. NYC has built something special over the last two decades. This proposal puts it all at risk for a short-sighted revenue grab.
If you're a founder, investor, or anyone who cares about the NYC tech ecosystem — please sign the TechNYC open letter before Monday below 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
Keep building, NYC 🗽

We spent $15,000 on billboards targeting one person: the guy controlling all the chemical spend at a saltwater disposal company in Texas. We mapped his commute and bought every billboard between his house and the oil field. When we finally called, he said "I see your billboards everywhere." That landed us our first oil field contract. At the time our entire operation was a $10,000 reactor built from PVC pipes from Home Depot, turning corn sugar into industrial chemicals. People keep trying to throw it away. It still works. That leaking reactor started a multibillion-dollar company. @ycombinator visited our plant in Houston. The original PVC reactor is still on the floor next to the Bioforge.

No more manual research needed thanks to @annarmonaco and her team at @paradigmai!
Anna Monaco@annarmonaco
Today we’re launching the newest version of @paradigmai When we started Paradigm, the goal was never to tack AI onto existing spreadsheets. It was to build a new type of interface that does the work for you. Now we’re pushing that vision much further. Workflows turn Paradigm into a system that runs research processes for you. Connect your CRM, existing spreadsheets, Slack, email, and internal data, and let Paradigm continuously run the research workflows your team already does. Same intuitive interface. But now a system of action. If you tried Paradigm before, try it again. Manual research is now a competitive liability.

I started Secureframe because too much of compliance was theater. I believed cybersecurity and compliance automation should make organizations genuinely more secure, not just "more certified."
That means real continuous monitoring of your cloud infrastructure and core business systems. Gaps surfaced in real time, not in spreadsheets reviewed once a quarter. And independent, AICPA peer-reviewed auditors signing off on the actual attestation.
We've come a long way since those early days. Thousands of customers trust us now, from startups to enterprises to governments, and we take that trust seriously.
AI is fundamentally changing the cybersecurity landscape, and the stakes have never been higher. We're putting our energy into building a future where trust and safety aren't afterthoughts but foundational. This is the work that matters most to me, and we intend to lead it with integrity.
Sorry to all the folks dealing with this. If you've been affected, email us at sales@secureframe.com before the end of March with your Delve invoice, and we'll give you @secureframe free for a year.

@jspeiser Did you try @zocomputer yet?

I've been using all three AI agents. OpenClaw, Perplexity Computer, and Claude Cowork.
Here's what I've found so far:
OpenClaw is the most powerful if you're technical, love tinkering and have a ton of time to mess around.
Open source, self-hosted, you pick your models. You can make it do basically anything. But you're also the one building and maintaining all of it (as its always breaking).
Claude Cowork feels the most like having an actual coworker (for 1 specific task). It runs on your Mac, works with your local files, and the plugins for legal, finance, and HR are legit. Downside is it only uses Anthropic models and your laptop has to stay open.
Perplexity Computer is the easiest one to actually get work done (imo) with tons of models running behind the scenes, plugs right into Gmail, Slack, Notion, and it runs in the cloud so it keeps going while you sleep. Tradeoff is you're living in their ecosystem. (oh and their local browser control needs major work, it's unreliable)
so:
Want full control? OpenClaw.
Want a desktop co-pilot? Cowork.
Want to hand off real tasks and walk away? Perplexity Computer.
These tools are changing weekly though, im just trying to keep up.
What did I miss?

NYC friends! We need to move apartments in the next 2-3 months (ugh), and I'm curious what you think are the most awesome + under-hyped neighborhoods? We currently live in Fort Greene and love it, but supply is low (and prices are crazy) so we want to cast a wider net.
