People keep claiming that we need humanoid robots for the built environment. I'm pretty sure dogs can go almost anywhere a human can. And we have numerous robotic quadrupeds working in the world already.

I'm pumped to see that @rafeuddin_ covered the @RhymeCombinator musical "Co-Founders" in the @FinancialTimes ft.com/content/eee596…. I've seen it evolve over the years, and it looks amazing!

Investing in companies that hit $100m ARR in <1 year is not the only way to win in VC. The essence of venture capital has never been about immediate revenue; it's been about providing support to founders who have strong strategic positioning and a chance at revenue.

On the Possible.fm podcast, my friends @reidhoffman and @AriaIrene discuss the blitzscaling in the #GPT5 launch, why "slow bake" startups like @figma can win big despite not growing to $100M in a year, and the @perplexity_ai bid for Chrome: open.spotify.com/episode/6cjoqY…

Great thread from the legendary @KiteVC about the @canva journey. A good reminder of the persistence it takes as both a founder and an investor. It took years for the right opportunity to come together, and now the rest is history.

If you've ever needed an excuse to pick up a copy of @blitzscaling, the Kindle version is currently on sale for $2.99, an all-time low! Of course, I can't autograph a Kindle book, so the good news is the hardcover is also on sale: amazon.com/Blitzscaling-L…

Quick thoughts on the #GPT5 rollout: This is a savvy #blitzscaling move by OpenAI. Roll out to everyone while GPT-5 is the only next-gen foundational model on the market! linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

got a great insight today from @chrisyeh Founders need to learn distribution more than ever with AI. Distribution always been more important than product, but with software no longer being amoat, brand and attention are becoming the few sustainable ones.

Listening to @chrisyeh talking about #blitzscaling AI. Over 250 post exit founder. My key takeaway is that many VCs are going to miss the AI first service companies They get a cardic arrhythmia when they hear the word "outsourcing " during a GTM discussion with founders, lol

Using AI is a bit like instant coffee--sometimes you need a quick shot of caffeine, but if you don't drink anything else, you'll lose the ability to brew a good cup.
