Matthew Witheiler

@ethankurz @davidcowan Thank god for @davidcowan

I still recall my first interview with @davidcowan in 2008 when I pitched him a startup idea (Second Life-style business meetings! h/t - @witheiler) that he clearly thought was terrible. 3/13

🧵After 16(!) years at @BessemerVP, I am leaving Bessemer and branching out to launch a new early-stage venture firm. 1/13

@madebygoogle @leaderslunatics US based, have 2 Nest Cam Outdoor cameras (wired), a Nest Cam Floodlight and a Nest Doorbell (wired) and literally all have this issue since iOS 17

@leaderslunatics Hey there, thanks for sharing the community link. We'd like to know more — could you tell us the type of camera you're using? Also, what country are you located in?

@madebygoogle any chance this could be escalated to your dev teams? Since iOS 17 update there is an issue affecting most nest users: #M88873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Cameras-and…

@semil Thank you! Honored to be part of the OG

OG pal @witheiler on gen AI: ""It is super unusual. They're late-stage companies by valuation, but early-stage or pre-early-stage by traction." Congrats on the fresh new funds!

@ezberry Working here

Ugh my engagement bait isn't working the way it used to

@eurie_kim @LaurenKolodny @stevejang @ForerunnerVC Strange the number of whales that fit in your pond. Makes the fishing easy

@witheiler @LaurenKolodny @stevejang Hahaha 🤣 we love when you come fishing in the @ForerunnerVC pond;) 🎣

Congrats to dear friends & Midas List fresh faces: @LaurenKolodny @stevejang @witheiler. VC has such a long feedback cycle, it’s great to celebrate the decades of work that goes into making it to the Midas List! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@jaltma 👋 see you next week!

Fancy Firm X emailed me and wants to talk! They must be interested, and even if not it’ll be good learning for me. I’ve come to the view that you’re either fundraising, or you’re not fundraising. The entire job of the person who emailed you is to talk to people like you. When you’re not fundraising, *your* job is to avoid all distractions except your only 3 jobs; talk to customers, build product, construct your team. Do your job, don’t do theirs. Investor conversations when you’re not ready are much worse than a waste of time; they’re a huge distraction.

Things you think as a first time founder that just ain’t so:

@alexandr_wang @scale_AI Waiting for my autographed version

kinda surreal but this is very much a team honor for one of the best teams in ai (✨the @scale_AI team✨) and the incredible innovation of our customers, who inspire us every day and the journey is nowhere close to over :) here’s to the next leg!

@halletecco @rebeccakaden @malayhgandhi @grgyap @parulia @ellie 👋

@rjonesy What app is this?

Yeehaw. Lightning + hail + tornados. Awesome

@kane @tiktok_us I hope not too

@witheiler @tiktok_us It’s being passed around twitter/Reddit but you are right to ask and now I don’t have primary source, so deleting for now. Hope it’s not.

@kane Attack *only* when stack light is red

@witheiler It looks like an industrial stack light but I’m also flummoxed en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_lig…

@kane what’s the purpose of the red/green light here? Kinda makes the deep camo pointless, no? Asking because you’re bound to know.

@rjonesy They suggested creating a new zone and disabling everything for that zone so we’ll see…

@witheiler Just keep triangulating. And wipe the entire device etc. they ain’t gonna help shit. Try tighter borders

@madebygoogle maybe you can help. I keep getting notifications for cars in my street but I clearly have this area excluded from my zone where notifications are enabled. Any ideas?

@rjonesy Turning off vehicles solves it but then I can’t see when people come to our driveway

@witheiler I’d try moving the camera. And turning off all vehicles. Just to narrow down.

@madebygoogle Same issue
