Introducing Autopilot @maxmhfriedrich and I have spent the last several years together researching and investing in fintech and artificial intelligence across the public and private markets. We have witnessed extraordinary founders build category-defining companies - Block (Square), Zoom, Replit, MosaicML, UiPath, and many more. Today, we are excited to announce our new venture capital firm, Autopilot. Our mission is to back and support the next generation of extraordinary founders, bringing to bear our capital, experience, and relationships. We continue to focus on the areas we know best: artificial intelligence and fintech, and invest as early as we have conviction that a startup is emerging as a category leader, usually at the early-growth stage. As we look at the opportunity set on the horizon, it's clear that we are at a unique moment in the arc of technology. AI coding assistants have already more than doubled the productivity of software engineers, while generative models can create graphic designs 1,800 times cheaper and 100 times faster than professional human designers. Many of the markets that we are the most excited about do not exist yet and, therefore, have no competition, or currently belong to stale incumbents. We believe the next Standard Oil, Amazon, or Facebook will be a company that uses AI to create or transform a large, growing industry. We are partnering with the founders who lead the way. If you're leveraging AI to create or disrupt a large industry, we'd love to learn more about your story. Our inboxes are always open: [email protected] and [email protected].
