Daughter wanted to see Jokic passing highlight reels on YouTube, so I watched a few minutes. Is it hyperbolic to say he may be one of the most creative passers in the NBA ever? His range of passes is unreal!
A simple rhetorical question I've been asking when helping guide founders & those raising funds recently: "What's your right to exist?" It's such a simple question but usually stops folks in their tracks. The answer doesn't need to be long & fancy, but a crisp answer is required.
Applications for Generate are open through this Friday! Very excited about the group that's starting to come together 🤗 altcap.com/generate
Absolute poetry.
👀 @bipulsinha’s wife wore a sari to the IPO Love to see it.
Isn't it interesting that the top 2 use cases of GenAI in the enterprise are augmenting/replacing the HIGHEST paid workers (AI copilots for engineers) and the LOWEST paid workers (AI support agents).
Me to daughter: “You’ve got a daddy-daughter trip freebie - where to? NYC? LA? Etc?” Eventually, daughter: Let’s just drive 35 miles away from home to a hotel, I just want to listen to music & read & chill on my iPad w/o my little brothers and order room service for dinner.
It’s a short list of folks that made the jump from VC to very successful founder / CEO: - Bipul Sinha (Rubrik) - David Velez (Nubank) - Aneel Bhusri (Workday) Any other notable ones?
Directly from a scaling CEO: “Handling some growth investors around a financing is like dealing w/ a procurement office.”
Almost every single deep tech founder I talk to credits Elon and SpaceX for helping them realize, "Oh, you can just go build really hard things." I think Anduril will have a similar impact. "Oh, you can just compete head-on with really big incumbents and win."

1/5 It’s a monumental day for @rubrikInc. Congratulations to @bipulsinha and the entire Rubrik team on being a publicly traded company! It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career to be involved in Rubrik’s growth, from inception to IPO, and I’ll be celebrating…
Every single day, a new AI funding deal knocks your socks off. theinformation.com/articles/six-m… @KateClarkTweets @cognition_labs #devin
Big ups to old friend @bipulsinha, he's truly one of a kind. I was lucky to meet many years ago & he taught me so much even before he transformed from a VC to founder. Feeling nostalgic for our old chats: youtube.com/watch?v=kSjC5i…
Today we celebrate @rubrikInc officially becoming a publicly traded company. #RubrikIPO
Great co-hosting the NYC deep tech community at the @nTopology offices today and hearing from @PasteurLabs, @DiracInc, and @womp3D! Deep tech companies CAN and ARE being built EVERYWHERE
The latest AI news, if aggregated, seems to point toward: more open source, smaller models, cheaper models, models on the edge. Many predicted this would be the trend line, but perhaps not this quickly. Exciting!
Consumer media Legal AI startup idea: Aggregate & organize county transcripts of notable cases & feed text to a multi media AI to generate courtroom reenactments.
Surreal moment as an early-stage VC - one super early investment (Hashicorp) finally ends its run scooped up by IBM; and tonight Rubrik prices shares, which we were lucky to get via an early acquisition. Part luck, part poker!

@semil No, he’s on track to possibly be (at least statistically) the best player overall (looking at season vorp stats)
Growing up in a black and Jewish family in NYC, I can tell you first hand that the discrimination faced by Jews is NOTHING like the persistency, pervasiveness, and ongoing feeling of threat of growing up black in America or many other groups experience. It's not even close.
