@LightspeedVP Investor: Allium, Bun, Browserbase, Cartesia, Labelbox, LMArena, Materialize, Netlify, Planetscale, Teleport, Together AI, Traversal and more.
Excited to share that I have joined @lightspeedvp to help drive their early-stage efforts in enterprise. Lightspeed has been on my radar for a while. 14 years ago, I noticed they were the lead investor in many of the startups we were tracking @Cisco. Lightspeed also had Cisco…
Founders think they’re “locking in,” until they see @vhmth, who sold his first co for nearly $1b, sleeping in a tent inside a factory with green sleep scores on his whoop.
Have been living out of a tent in the factory. Learning is back on an exponential curve. White noise of the machines has been leading to green whoop sleep scores 🤖🟢
Our models are getting goated on new benchmarks, we’re moving very fast and will be shipping some awesome releases the rest of this year If you like research and going deep into fun technical problems, join and help us build crazy new models
As online marketing evolves toward social media psy-op style tactics, it seems likely we will wise up to it just as we have in political / social context. Disclaimer: @BucknSF is not my alt
the coordinated hype campaigns for grok, lovable, etc. so blatant...becomes noise as a marketing tactic at some point
Big news from @Lightspeedvp backed @ComposioHQ. We’re excited to announce that we are leading Composio’s $25M Series A! Congratulations to Co-Founders @GanatraSoham and @KaranVaidya6 and the entire team.
if you use @bunjavascript in production, raise your hands here so we get friends side note: Im running a multi billion dollar organization on production with bun
summarizing @YouTube videos via @ChatGPTapp by simply pasting the URL is true digital luxury
Could not agree more. @_mohansolo operates with the utmost integrity and the number of bad takes flying around about this situation is beyond absurd. Can someone help me understand why the mob spared Scale AI with an identically structured transaction again?
Varun Mohan and the team at Windsurf built something great. What I heard is every founding engineer (over 40 of them) cleared 7 figures. The remaining org of 200 was only 15 engineers who had worked there less than a year, the rest were sales and ops, and even then they left…
“Most entertaining outcome is most likely” - congrats @nikitabier
.@elonmusk Hire me to run Twitter as VP of Product. I’ve been building social apps for 11 years—and not in a way that leads products to decay like a typical BigTech “product director dad.” Twitter has the potential to be the leading messenger, groups app & content creation tool.
I am thrilled to welcome @theamberyang to @lightspeedvp. As a former founder with a background in research and investing, she brings a unique perspective to the firm and will be an invaluable asset to the founders we serve. While it took some time (2 years to be exact!), I am…
Very excited to share that I’m joining @lightspeedvp to do what I love— invest in highly technical founders with exceptional taste at inception. Almost a decade ago, a partner at Lightspeed was the reason I got into startups. In high school, I spent my weekends tinkering,…
The two times I went against this advice early in my career both cost me a lot of $. Always bet on friends.
just bet on your friends blindly. every single time.
Stablecoins working at scale significantly accelerates crypto as the future of the financial system. All financial services will need to be (re)built for this ecosystem. This is a once in a generation platform shift. The major pillars of the future of finance are up for grabs.
This @MollySOShea interview does a fantastic job of capturing the essence and soul of their unique culture and company backstory, highly recommend listening: x.com/mollysoshea/st…

Beyond pre-training, here's how I imagine most learning will work. 1. AI models / systems will maintain large collections of retrievable knowledge. This will include facts like "the capital of California is Sacramento" and tactics like "when playing Monopoly, buy a bunch of…
We're missing techniques for "training-time reasoning." Right now there's a lot of progress on inference-time reasoning, which is incredibly cool (I use o3 all the time). If I think about how I learn stuff, e.g., when reading a technical paper, it's very compute intensive. Most…
Allium was inspired by Scale’s complete focus to having the best training data for ML models, one of the few ML/AI companies from 2017s time period that has still thrived today - Garbage in, garbage out. Allium is dedicated to having the best data for stablecoins and beyond
I am looking to invest in ScaleAI for stablecoins
