I want to achieve a guinness world record, can someone suggest the easiest/goofiest record I can break? (please keep in mind my level of ability🙏)

@SamarthJainnn bearish

Been really bullish on the democratization of venture investing for retail folks — finally lowering barriers to private tech (AI, startups, etc) that used to be gated behind accreditation, networks, and huge minimums. USVC and similar vehicles are a big step: $500 gets everyday investors (even students) exposure to names like Anthropic, xAI, OpenAI before they hit public markets. Feels like "adventure capital" opening up. Curious though — how much visibility will retail LPs actually get into the real investment decisions? Will we see detailed deal-by-deal transparency, or mostly aggregated updates? Can we imagine a future where individuals (like a student with $500) invest directly into a specific startup instead of through a fund? That could cut down on information asymmetry, but it brings its own challenges around diligence, liquidity, and risk. What do you think — closer than we realize, or still far off? @AngelList @naval @ankurnagpal @usvc_

@WilsonErnst2 Are u on campus?

Freshman at UIUC. Autonomous drones, computer vision, Formula SAE EV. Looking to build something this summer - reach out.

proud to be a day 1 believer

@cory will be in sf that time, see u and baylor

hosting the "dropout graduation" in SF on may 30th i left school after my freshman year to build. never had a proper graduation until dropout graduation. commencement speaker to be announced soon. @ reply or DM if you want to attend. allies/graduates allowed to attend as well

@brycent @yasinbuilds

Any startup hacker houses, accelerators, or events happening in SF that I can crash today? Going to be IRL live streaming on Twitch, running around SF trying to meet founders building the next unicorn.

@DanteKakhadze @fdotinc sounds word salad, I hope you prove me wrong!

@Abhindas1 @Lenskart_com @peyushbansal @_AkashBansal_ @OrangewoodLabs Congrats bhaiya

Our robots are already inside @Lenskart_com 's production line. 27 million glasses a year. 4x Warby Parker's market cap. CEO @peyushbansal is a Shark Tank India judge. The founding team swung by our SF lab. The biggest manufacturers in the world are moving to AI-native robotics. We're building it.

@andrewchen Applying next batch!

hosting zoom office hours this week for a16z speedrun you'll be able to apply to a16z speedrun in just a few weeks, so so come AMA. first come, first served drop a comment + like and I'll DM you a calendly link

@ErenChenAI @hars

Totally agree. I have talked to so many robotics start ups that want to jump straight to 5-finger hands for data collection, ignoring hardware reliability, scalability and other bottlenecks. Simple grippers are way more practical for collecting consistent, large-scale data. Meanwhile, larger companies are more practical, stay grounded and optimize for what actually works.

@akothari Hey Akshat, just found out that we're cousins!

Vikrant was one of the four Kothari Fellows we selected last year, and it’s been a joy watching him grow throughout the fellowship.

@polymath_james Me too, but in SF, got any recs?

Need a place to live after my lease is done in July in Palo Alto. Got any recs? - prefer somewhere in South Bay - happy to do roommates - ideal budget <$2000 a month, hopefully <$2200 a month

@Abhindas1 @E_Bruxxx Thanks for that! :)

@E_Bruxxx Give constructive feedback even if you might piss a founder off

VC cheat code: - don’t be an asshole - don’t waste founder time - don’t sleep with founders - don’t make empty promises - don’t pull term sheets What did I miss?

@donatelli2026 Done ✅

here’s how to actually come to SF: → Book a room in a hostel This is the cheapest way to sleep when you first arrive. It allows you to stay somewhere for cheap and to meet a ton of cool people and founders → Download Luma and Partiful That’s where most public events are. You just open the app, see which events are happening and sign-up for them → Avoid the Tenderloin This is the worst neighborhood in town. It's not necessarily dangerous but there are a ton of crackheads and dirt on the ground. Just avoid it → Talk to everyone SF is probably the most social place on earth. Here, most people came just like you to make new connections and change their lives. Most people will be happy to talk to you → Go visit the city Even though most people come for the tech, SF is actually an incredibly beautiful city. Visit China Town, North Beach, the Marina, see the Golden Gate Bridge, the Golden Gate Park and much more

@juliachaigneau love this

WIP for the website of a software copilot for robotic developers. Excited to get this one live soon

@hanghuang_ Awesome

After visiting SF two weeks ago, I decided there was nowhere else like it in the entire world So we officially decided to move the entire team there Just packed everything I own Can't wait for this next chapter

@Harsh0385962334 phew.

deathbyclawd.com damn

learning about humanoid hardware has never been so accessible humanoids.fyi

@marco_dewey data for industrial robots (talik.io)

I am looking to invest in hard tech founders just starting out. If you’re building in: - robotics - energy - manufacturing - aerospace - defense - semiconductors - industrial software - advanced materials I want to meet you. Reply here or DM me with what you are building (or want to build)
