✨Announcing Adverb Ventures!✨ A decade in the making, @aunder and I are teaming up to build an early stage venture firm. We’ve closed a $75M fund and are open for business! If you’re building something new, we’d love to be your first call. adverb.vc
Hi there from the team at Adverb Ventures! Who? adverb.vc We are a new early-stage venture capital fund co-founded by @jess and @aunder. 👋👋 And we are live, backing extraordinary founders building enduring, breakout companies out of our $75M debut fund. 🧵
Agree with this take. For the most elite technical talent in the world, driving a meaningful % uplift for the business (esp a trillion dollar company), the pay bands are actually under-comping them.
We discussed talent valuation in AI with @GuptaRK22 (Partner at @sequoia). “High performers in Silicon Valley have been underpaid for a long time. Comp bands assume everyone at a level is producing within 1–2x. But anyone who’s worked in a company knows that’s just not true.”…
The home is your most treasured asset. Emotionally, financially. And we think it’s the most interesting product to build for. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to. (Software engineers - get in touch!)

Congratulations to everyone at @coinbase $100,000,000,000 marketcap is a lot of 0's!
Love this. I’ve seen time and time again the best founders go to bat for their teams — even literally sacrificing their own comp — and no surprise, they rise to become standout leaders within the new, larger org.
I don’t think he’s ever told the story, but it’s worth telling. When we were selling @Behance to Adobe many years ago, @scottbelsky made a spreadsheet of every employee (32 of us at the time) and personally negotiated each persons title, salary and incentive structure, and made…

Where is your team located? "We have one guy in LA....actually, he's in his van now." "Oh, so you have one digital nomad." "One starlink guy."
Never not in love with the PNW, but the summer is just insane. ☀️
Impressed TBPN found a new angle to deliver SV tech news that's fun and info packed. I always refer to SV as "the major leagues" for our industry. Turns out it actually works to cover it that way too.
BREAKING: Thrive Holdings has signed Ramp veteran @samaysham to its founding team, sources tell TBPN.
Thank you @kirstenagreen @eurie_kim and the whole @ForerunnerVC team for a great Humans in the Loop event! And especially to the founders who showcased just the beginning of what’s possible with new consumer products and AI. It was so fun and inspiring to see. 💚
There is some amazing consumer + AI + location + voice stuff in the works with @aaronsekhri and team. Watch this space! 🌎
Love seeing @pandemona up on stage sharing a sneak peak at new product features coming to Particle 🔍.
Particle is the best way for busy people to stay informed! @pandemona @particle_news
Investing at the edge of adoption. About to hear from legendary Alfred Lin and my inimitable partner @aunder. 🙏
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at Humans in the Loop!
Updates for Humans in the Loop next week — we have added two fireside chats: @reidhoffman and @mikeyk! Join us ⚡️⚡️ humansintheloop2025.com
Super excited for the Humans in the Loop consumer AI showcase today in S.F. Feels super well timed as all products and interfaces are being reimagined with AI.
If you’re in the investing job long enough you rack up some epic misses—like mine on the Scale AI seed round 🫣. Dug up my DM to Lucy in 2016. She graciously gave us a shot to angel invest. A gigantic miss!
