Building @ParchaHQ. Prev Product @compound, @brexhq, @coinbase, @google. Alum @ycombinator, @uniofoxford. Dad of twins, in-person maximalist, Coda Yoda.
Really excited to share that we raised $5M in seed funding led by @KindredVentures and @Initialized to begin our mission of eliminating manual workflows and empowering businesses to scale using AI. Checkout the news on Fortune's Term Sheet: fortune.com/2023/08/08/breβ¦
Asked the Head of AI at a Fortuneβ―500 how he decides buy vs build, and his framework feels widely applicable: βwe buy what accelerates us, and build what differentiates usβ
We onboarded 5 new employees this week but none of them are human. They live in slack, are powered by Claude Code and run in a custom dev environment. They arenβt just writing code and one of them can even create more employeesβ¦ the future is going to be wild.
Claude Code doesn't update it's own memory (yet) - you have to do it manually. Here's a few hacks that work for a crude type of auto updating memory: 1/ Open the memory file (CLAUDE.md) with the /memory command (select Local memory). 2/ In theβ¦
Didnβt FTX do this too? π€
for anyone freaking about this, itβs not a big deal OpenAI is putting out this statement to be safe because they have to but all robinhood did was establish a token that tracks the valuation of openai on the private markets similar to the tokens for all the other 200 publicβ¦
I would like to rescind my statement about the Cursor going to $1T.

Looks like GCP is fully down, and anthropic and github - crazy
I would buy a @perplexity_ai version of Meta Raybans. The AI would be so much better I would actually use the feature regularly. Right now I mostly use the camera and speakers.
Itβs possible a year from now the idea of βengineeringβ wonβt exist in most startups. The slack channel will just be #vibing instead.
my girl @chatprd did more in revenue this week than we did in all of June last year (and it's not even a record week.) In the last year costs have increased modestly, but we run at a very healthy margin. pmf + focused execution + recurring rev = magic
Weβre so back!
Coinbase is coming back to San Francisco, opening a 150,000 square foot office in Mission Rock after leaving the City four years ago. San Francisco is the place to build and grow your company. Welcome back, @Coinbase!Β sfstandard.com/2025/05/28/coiβ¦
The best AI I've used so far for product strategy / PRDs is @chatprd - kudos to @clairevo and team for building a great product! Feature request: Linear MCP support!
Coinbase just became the first and only crypto company to join the S&P 500. This milestone represents what the true believers, from retail investors to institutional investors to our employees and partners, knew all along. Crypto is here to stay.
As the saying goesβ¦ βFirst they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then they add you to the S&P 500.β β¦or something like that.
This aged well. Next prediction: Cursor will the fastest company to a trillion dollar valuation.
Prediction: Cursor will low-key gain more traction and ubiquity than any AI agent for engineering and will eventually solve the same problem but much better...
