Founder/Investor at @ForerunnerVC. Fascination with consumer behavior, love for the entrepreneurial journey.

The people getting the most out of AI Agents right now are creating hyper precise prompts to describe what they want, and embracing the fact that their job is to review and edit the output. The moment you stop expecting perfection, your leverage goes up massively.
Best day, best cohosts, best founders/CEOs. Here are the highlights from Humans in the Loop. Sign up for info about the next event (we can’t not do it again!): humansintheloop2025.com
We were grateful to join @ForerunnerVC and our fellow co-hosts in bringing together a standout group of early-stage consumer AI builders at #HumansInTheLoop. It was a powerful reminder that collective success grows from an inclusive community—where founders, investors, and…
In @ForerunnerVC's somewhat biased view, no better place to start a business than with the consumer!
"Some of the biggest companies from the tech ecosystem in the last 25 years started with the consumer; Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple. "Their first goal was to entice a user to engage. That's a magical place to build from because you can move at the speed of technology." -…
We're witnessing a once in a generation shift from the "attention economy" to what @kirstenagreen calls the "affection economy." Tomorrow’s winners won’t just optimise for engagement. They’ll build AI that becomes a trusted, indispensable partner through genuine connection
The playbook for building in consumer AI is being rewritten. If you're a builder, this interview with @kirstenagreen and @garrytan is a must-watch this weekend 👇
Kirsten Green (@kirstenagreen), founder of Forerunner Ventures, has backed some of the most iconic consumer brands of the past two decades — from Warby Parker to Chime to Dollar Shave Club. She sat down with @garrytan to share how great products (not marketing tricks) still…

We asked @kirstenagreen (Founder of @forerunnerVC) about competition in AI and consumer markets. “If you’re going after something worth the prize, there’s going to be competition, period.” “It’ll come from startups, from incumbents, and from people who start two years behind…
Forerunner did a great job yesterday with Humans in the Loop! I sat with @kirstenagreen to talk about how Consumer AI is on its way back and we are both open for business funding the next consumer wave

“What are you interested in investing in right now?? Honestly, Everything!!” -@kirstenagreen #humansintheloop2025
Congratulations to @ForerunnerVC on an outstanding event on AI in the consumer space! Palpable excitement at the event. I came away far more energized than I already was about AI. Great talks by @kirstenagreen, @reidhoffman , @mikeyk , @Alfred_Lin, @aunder and @DanielLurie
Just back from the Humans in the Loop event in SF—what an electric vibe! ⚡️ Inspired by the energy of consumer AI startups and packed with new insights. 🔑 Takeaway from @mikeyk: the next evolution of AI agents is all about humanizing technology. Huge thanks to @ForerunnerVC…
Think big. “Go for the whole world. There’s 8 billion people you can build for” @Alfred_Lin of Sequoia
People today are crazy about consumer AI. Everyone’s waiting for an app to changes the world. Saw so many people at #humansintheloop today. So many founders, investors, and amazing demos. Thanks for the amazing event @forerunnerVC. Can’t wait to see the next big thing.
Feeling the energy to build and invest in consumer AI companies, coming out of a special day at Humans in the Loop. While no obvious new distribution platform has opened up (yet!), magical consumer experiences are growing through word-of mouth! Huge thank you to @ForerunnerVC…
Can confirm this is me. Although, ReidAI is getting invited to more and more conferences these days...
