Forget the narrative that AI is a sustaining technology for incumbents. AI-powered startups are unlocking new markets by providing 100x better experiences at a fraction of the cost of the traditional way of doing things. New post: open.substack.com/pub/sarahtavel…
Fun to reflect on what we look for in founders at Benchmark, what motivates founders, and my transition from founder to investor with my partner @peterfenton and @patrick_oshag 🙏🏼

Thrilled to announce our Series A investment in @bezi_3d! It's remarkable how many startups to some of the biggest companies in the world already use Bezi for 3d design and prototyping to create applications, games, experiences, and more. More here: bezi.com/hq/blog/bezi-r…
Fascinating conversation with @peterfenton and @victoralazarte yesterday who described three types of motivation for building: 1) aggression 2) desire 3) generative First two have their time and place and can be very useful, but the third is the most renewable and healthy…

Excited to announce Benchmark's new General Partner and co-founder, @victoralazarte! sarahtavel.com/p/benchmarks-n…
News: Victor Lazarte, former CEO of Brazilian games startup Wildlife Studios, is joining VC firm Benchmark as its newest equal partner. Lazarte tells @Forbes he'll invest as a generalist, with added interest for startups in games, consumer and fintech. forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…
I’m proud to announce Catharsis, a new program from @brexHQ to normalize mental health talk and connect founders to mental health professionals. 🧵 brex.com/catharsis
🧵 Yesterday we made the difficult decision to stop serving traditional small businesses at @brexHQ. Brex remains deeply committed to serving startups, so let me explain how we got to this (painful) decision, and why it allows us to serve startups even better.
“If there is a Stripe for AI/ML, it would look like Scale. Just like Stripe was able to leverage the Payments foundation, Scale will grow downstream by leveraging annotated data.” Good write up by @packyM about @scale_AI, telling all our secrets 😅 notboring.co/p/scale-ration…

Alright solved the (meta) alignment problem. We just need all the people at OpenAI, Anthropic, etc to have lots of kids so they are incentivized to make sure world is OK if AGI happens. If you have any single friends that are working on AI, please help them get dates ASAP!
software engineering as a job was invented in the 1960s with the Apollo program fast forward to today, it’s viewed as the best job in America with over 1.6M jobs AI will similarly create totally new jobs that sound arcane today: - prompt engineer - AI teacher - what else?
obsession goes a very long way, much further than intelligence does.
Thrilled to join @benchmark as a General Partner. I am inspired by the founders that partnered with the firm to build so many iconic companies and determined to see where uncompromising commitment to entrepreneurs can take us. forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…
