Throwback to when we had @benjamin_bolte on the @BlackFlagVC Pirates Only pod a month ago. Since this conversation I've found myself thinking more and more about humanoid robots in the home, and how obvious it seems now - but wasn't always for me. Robots in the home is something…
The weather is top of mind for many folks right now. During our last Pirates Only podcast from @BlackFlagVC I asked @alevy (CEO of @atmo_ai) what the data is telling us regarding weather patterns of the past decades (and looking to the future). "We're entering a higher…

Building robots for the home requires more than just the right tech, it also takes some cues from some of our favorite Hollywood robots as well. @mehul from @maticrobots gives some great input on how building robots that feel friendly and immediately a part of the family is a…
🚨 Attention Founders 🚨 Sometimes you don't need the script, as Emily Gold (Partner at OPFOR Media) says in this clip, "It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be authentically you." Be authentic in how you present yourself, the benefits will follow 👏 Watch the full…
One of my favorite clips from the "Ocean is the New Space" episode was our chat about "Treasure Hunting as a Service" (THaaS?). As @willobri (@UlyssesEcoEng) mentions, there's BILLIONS in gold, gems and other valuables waiting to be discovered at the bottom of the ocean. Who's…
