In 2014, DoorDash ran on a guy named Steve.
Every dasher shared their location with him on Find My Friends. Order comes in, Steve finds the closest one, texts them. It worked until it didn't.
We sat next to him and turned that manual process into software. Steve went on to build and lead our support org.
I've spent the last year watching the same pattern play out across every industry. Smart people manually holding critical workflows together because their systems haven't kept up. AI helps, but mostly as an assistant - it makes you faster, it doesn't take work off your plate.
That's what we’re building at @conveyAI. Digital teammates that operators train themselves, that run autonomously, and that fully own a process end to end.
Today we're out of stealth.
Grateful to NBC Universal, Samsara, Faire, TelevisaUnivision, Unity and our other customers who bet on us early.
The era of asking your best people to manually run critical business processes is over. The future belongs to the 100x operator.

Everyone's talking about AI taking jobs.
How about AI that's actually helping people do their jobs more safely and successfully?
Meet Multitude Insights.
We met Matthew White and Akihiko Izu several years ago as they were building something different — a platform that helps police officers connect the dots between crimes and solve cases faster. This is exactly the kind of AI we believe in at VSC Ventures: not flashy, not hype-driven, but deeply practical technology making a real difference in the field.
@JayKapoorNYC, Maggie Philbin, and I have worked hand in hand with Matt and Aki ever since — helping them sharpen their positioning and build awareness. That collaboration led to national media attention, earning coverage in the Wall Street Journal and Boston Globe, because stories like this deserve to be told.
Today, we're excited that the company has raised its Series A and welcome @JasonrShuman to the 'ride-along' with existing investors Commonweal Ventures and Counterview Capital.
This is what "Dirty Jobs AI" looks like — AI applied to the essential, unglamorous, and critically important work that keeps communities safe. It's not always the sexiest investment thesis, but it's the one we keep coming back to because it just makes sense.
Another day, another case closed:)

Mercury 2 is live 🚀🚀
The world’s first reasoning diffusion LLM, delivering 5x faster performance than leading speed-optimized LLMs.
Watching the team turn years of research into a real product never gets old, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built.
We’re just getting started on what diffusion can do for language.

@JayKapoorNYC Tough loss but at least they showed grit. Unlike the Raiders. They might still be cleaning up their entrails from Arrowhead turf…

See I’m not even sad. I’m just mad that I let myself believe this Giants team was different.
New Epic Collapse.
Same old New York Giants.

With Glacier, humans work in concert with robots that use computer vision to auto sort trash into the right place which optimizes resale value of different materials. Together we are helping Glacier become a category-defining business beyond just advice. Storytelling is discussed a lot with investors and founders. There’s two parts. 1. Make your story interesting to the right people AND… 2. Make sure you get your story OUT THERE and SEEN in a noisy environment.
