Last week, we had a remarkable time at @money2020_me! 🎉 Our Founder & CEO, Olugbenga “GB” Agboola (@TechProd_Arch) represented us in conversations shaping the future of payments. From panels on public-private partnerships and building inclusive financial systems, to a roundtable on accelerating cross-border payments, and a presentation on Africa’s billion-dollar fintech opportunity, GB delivered a clear message: - Africa is not a risk. - Africa is an opportunity and the future of global payments. It’s been an incredible opportunity to connect, collaborate, and push the conversations forward at @money2020_me.

We may have been quiet on X, but we haven’t stopped moving automation forward. Now it’s time to bring the conversation back here. Follow OSARO for the latest in robotics, AI, and fulfillment tech.

Seems crazy that we still don’t have autonomous charging… everything else is autonomous but a human plugs in the charger… feels solvable

-Software companies reaching $100m in revenue faster than any time in history. And they seem excited to announce it. -Deep research from OpenAI is first time we wake up to the power of usability vs raw capability of models. -DOGE vs DOJ. This is why the US keeps winning.  -Infrastructure is destiny. The world announced $1T in infra investments in 15 days. We will move to optimization soon and this will lead to a major shake up. -A small crack team of engineers can solve anything and jolt the US financial system

@IanRountree @NEA The legacy continues via Cantos. RIP to a true legend.

It's difficult and surreal to write this. A titan has fallen. This weekend we lost Dick Kramlich, my beloved uncle, co-founder of @NEA and Green Bay Ventures. He lived a long and epic life that rippled through the technology world and the art world, not to mention his large family and countless friends. He was a huge reason I got into venture capital, letting me stay in his guest bedroom for six months when I moved to SF (though he charged me rent out of principle haha), inspiring me to dive into "deep" tech (not that he called it that; it was just venture to him), and reminding me to always put people and honor first. He was a true legend, a pioneer of our asset class, and hopelessly in love with the entrepreneurial journey right to the end, even hosting dinner for 20 people from a startup he backed the night before he passed. Very few people are fortunate enough to love what we do so much that it never feels like work. Uncle Dick was one of them. He always encouraged me to follow my passions (especially if they had to do with making money 😆), take (calculated) risks, and be courageous in my convictions even (especially?) when they're unpopular. I love this quote from him, which NEA shared in their tribute today: "A lot of people think venture capital is a game of numbers. It's not—it's a game of courage." I suspect this post will surface even more lives his impacted than the family knew about. He was that gracious, that giving of his time, and even through adversity exuded kindness, character, an innocently mischievous sense of humor. He had an undying optimism, always seeing a way through despite the odds, probably because he had been through so much––from joining the Air Force the week Sputnik launched to the dot com bubble. I can see him right now telling Saint Peter that he's still got one last grand slam investment to make before he rides into the sunset, turning back to us with his characteristic impish wink. I'll miss you, UD <3
