Just your daily reminder if you're looking for jobs at startups you should bug your VC friends! I have way more visibility now than I did as a candidate across sectors / stages + it's one of the (IMO) few ways VCs can actually be helpful...
@EvidenceOpen is an ‘N of 1’ company by almost any definition. Brilliant team. Life-saving product (literally) used daily. Viral organic growth (40% of all US doctors). It’s a privilege to get to work with startups like these.
This year, more than 100 million Americans will be treated by a doctor who has used OpenEvidence. Word of mouth has propelled @EvidenceOpen into 10,000+ hospitals and clinics, helping healthcare providers access, evaluate, and apply the world’s medical knowledge. We’re proud to…
It’s hard to imagine a better use for AI than @EvidenceOpen. Daniel Nadler and his world-class team at OpenEvidence are building what I believe will become an AI-era treasure—a life-saving resource for doctors, patients, and their families. I can’t imagine the future without…

Bay Area X — we are hosting an ambitious group of builders and engineers. Renting out Spin in SF on the evening of July 10th. DM if interested. No normies.
this year alone, I've met hundreds of the world's elite AI researchers + engineers steering the future of intelligence, and they ultimately want to do it here, in the US 🇺🇸 If a visa or green card are holding you back, join us on 7/31 in SF and hear real stories from…

The show goes on! Announcing the real next chapter of Windsurf - we’re joining forces with @cognition_labs , the creators of Devin, to reinvent AI coding. Let’s surf.
Thrilled to welcome @windsurf_ai founders @_mohansolo & Douglas Chen and some of the brilliant Windsurf eng team to @GoogleDeepMind. Excited to be working with them to turbocharge our Gemini efforts on coding agents, tool use and much more. Great to have you on board!

Congratulations to @_mohansolo, and the entire @windsurf_ai team. Windsurf has become mission-critical for top engineering teams and opened up software creation to anyone with an idea. Proud to back this team as they continue to make history in how software gets built. A…
Mathematical reasoning is at the heart of intelligence. Thrilled to partner with @tachim and @vladtenev and the @HarmonicMath team and lead their Series B as they build Mathematical Superintelligence: verified AI for high-stakes fields from mission critical software to finance…
So enjoyed our conversation @jaltma, especially drawing on the lessons from past technology cycles to the current AI super-cycle. Thank you, Jack!
New episode of Uncapped with @mamoonha, one of the greatest software investors of the last decade. We talked about the past 25 years of tech innovation cycles, where he sees the biggest opportunities in AI, how he reinvigorated Kleiner Perkins, and his views on life and family.
I'm co-hosting a poker game next Tuesday night in SF with a very fast-growing, exciting startup - if you're an engineer open to new roles, DM me! We have a few spots left.
Hosted a pitch day for 4 early stage companies in SF a few weeks ago with 8VC (@Jimmy_S_Yun), Kleiner Perkins (@LM_Braswell), DST Global and Contrarian Thinking. Captured the afternoon to share. We will be hosting these in SF, LA and NYC throughout the year. Join us!
Incredibly excited to quadruple down and co-lead @harvey__ai’s Series E! @winstonweinberg, @gabepereyra, and the Harvey team continue to build with precision and long-term ambition on the back of incredible momentum across customer adoption, team growth, product development,…
As AI reshapes entire industries, @Harvey__AI is setting a new standard in global legal and professional services, combining deep technical focus with clear execution. In just three years, Harvey has already scaled to 337 legal clients across 53 countries—serving global law…
Alexandr Wang: “Hire people who give a shit” The ScaleAI founder is asked for the best advice he has for founders, to which he responds: “The biggest thing is you have to really, really care.” Alex explains this is also the number one trait he looks for in people he hires:…
It's a good idea to periodically review the messages your recruiters are sending, to make sure that cringey recruiting emails aren't messing up the company's aura
Six years after our initial investment in @AppliedInt we're excited double-down on our partnership with @Qasar Younis and Peter Ludwig as vehicle intelligence enters the mainstream. With strong momentum @AppliedInt enters its next chapter—scaling across autonomy, vehicle OS, and…
Thank you @kleinerperkins for investing in us, supporting us, and showcasing what we're building at Harvey.
Harvey is applying AI to one of the most complex and high-impact domains: the legal profession. We spent time with @harvey__ai employees in both SF and New York, and came away energized by their technical depth, product focus, and disciplined approach to building. @katieburkie,…
Have found that the best technical founder CEOs can almost always explain very complex things very simply (or more specifically, at most levels of abstraction). If you’re doing a lot of work to understand, especially if you’re also technical, usually not a great sign.
On May 31, 2017, @alexandr_wang paid me $150 to do an office photoshoot for @scale_AI. I should've asked for it in equity 😩
