What stood out at demo day: the new wave of early adopter logos. Where it used to be @NotionHQ @tryramp @figma it’s now @mercor_ai @greptileai @gumloop_ai. Never underestimate the power of your first 10 customers in shaping the next decacorns.

We take “commit to the bit” quite seriously (Before and after of sf marathon)


Developer tools are quickly becoming the next great consumer platform. Why? Because “developer” is no longer a job title—it’s a superpower every knowledge worker can wield. The shift is happening fast. 🧵
No one better to help determine which AI's actually have taste than @grx_xce! @designarena_ai team is cooking
Three weeks ago, we started building an AI game engine. But some models kept making things look... sloppy. So we turned finding the best one into a game. In three weeks, that game grew to 35K+ users across 135 countries. Introducing @designarena_ai, the fastest-growing…

every time my friends and i spend 30 minutes scrolling for a movie, my conviction in ai-generated films grows stronger
So excited for @Marg_Groisman 🎉! @Aravolta_X25 is giving data centers full visibility into their operations and inefficiencies
For too long, data center management and operations tooling have overpromised and undelivered. As data centers have evolved to become AI factories, legacy tooling and limited innovation has meant downtime, hotspots, lack of asset visibility, and more. That ends now for teams…
We've partnered with Modular to create Large Scale Inference (LSI), a new OpenAI-compatible inference service. It's up to 85% cheaper than other offerings & can handle trillion-token scale. We originally created it at the request of a major AI lab to do large scale multimodal…
