Founder @LongJourneyVC Previous @angellist. Lover of cities and @rebeccagrubman. Philly native.
Today, we are announcing that we have doubled our AUM @LongJourney by closing a $181,818,181.8 fund. I can’t be more proud of what @cyantist and I dreamed up 5yrs ago. For both of us this business has always been deeply personal. Today I would like to explain why it matters…
I'm putting together a few of these the next few weeks. If you're starting something new (esp a solo founder or in the 1-2 person stage) and want to knock out some deep work with other founders, let me know!
spinning up a special co work side quest in sf exceptional people who want to work in a beautiful place in peace and reverberate belief in each other think room of requirement harry potter dm if interested 🦋
Understanding what’s happening below the surface of the ocean is the next frontier. These guys are going to make it happen.
I'm excited to announce our $10M fundraise! Currently in D.C. meeting with some awesome folks on the Hill and reflecting on how far we've come. Just a year ago, @alex__chu__ and I were bootstrapping our first prototype in a garage. Now, we're announcing our $10M fundraise led…
So well deserved. It captures your raw tenacity and fearlessness that I have long admired.
We’ve been quietly building Abstract for 9 years. Thank you to @patrick_oshag and @domcooke @joincolossus for giving us the opportunity to share our story. We’re just getting started! joincolossus.com/article/ramtin…

The under-appreciated heart and soul of this epic company. This is how we build in America.
A quick peek inside @CrusoeAI’s manufacturing division, Crusoe Industries: the factories that build the AI factories. Crusoe operates four different manufacturing sites across CO, OK and LA totaling about 600,000 square feet with about 400 FT manufacturing workers and growing…
I have a deficit I would like to disclose. A lot of people take their inner world and project it onto other people. There are things that people consider "social norms", which make sense if you are normal and don't make sense at all if you are not. The pleasantries of some…
Announcing @RainmakerCorp and @atmo_ai 's strategic alliance to transform weather modification with AI-powered precision cloud seeding. We're combining our radar-driven, drone-based cloud seeding with their ultra-precise AI meteorology to fight drought worldwide. 🧵
Another @cyantist early prescient bet.
The answer to @MollySOShea’s question is @turingcom :) Turing leverages data from cutting-edge AI research and converts it into real-world applications - reasoning, coding, and problem-solving. The company is growing extremely fast due to its strategy of owning both sides…
The #1 thing you should look for in an investor is conviction.
Well said
The male equivalent of ✨manifesting✨ is just making a company
Thrilled to see these guys launch. They literally own the verb….
Today, everyone gets an iOS developer... In their pocket 👖📱 For the first time in human history, you can build a mobile app on your phone... And then immediately share it with your friends. No coding, just ideas. Officially on the App Store.
Based on popular demand, I’ve been asked to activate this little guy.
If there was any doubt on the moral clarity of the day’s conflict this should make it quite clear.
Iranians don't need bomb shelters because Israel doesn't target civilians. Gazans don't have bomb shelters because Hamas' strategy relies on using civilians as human shields. Israel relies on bomb shelters because Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas target civilians.
When I think of mission driven I think of @ADoricko and his team.
Become a Rainmaker Make it rain, and snow, and end droughts
Seems like a reasonable time to share how I’ve recently taken my sneaker game to the next level.
This is the best articulation I’ve seen of our mission @LongJourneyVC to be the second believer in the magically weird.
every early believer is unique but pretty much everything new happens because of them. signull.substack.com/p/the-rarest-k…
