everytime I play with Felt I am blown away by the power this app packs and leave wishing I had a hobby or job that involved daily mapping and geographic analysis - it’s mind blowing

We get asked by founders and LPs "how do you work with your portfolio companies?" Just today, I've texted with 1/2 of the @footworkvc portfolio (10/20 companies), seen 1 in-person and will see another this evening, made multiple customer intros, done backchannel on multiple…

Some markets require maximally viable products to successfully attack. That's the case in GIS software, where @Felt is taking on a 50-year incumbent in Esri. Now turbocharged with AI.

Signed a term sheet this morning to lead a Series A. You can just do things. Especially here. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🎇

Explaining Soham Parekh to the family WhatsApps is going to be interesting

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…

Take a Waymo into the Presidio from the south side of the city, and it's hard not to feel like San Francisco is the greatest city in the world.

Yesterday we hosted the first professional cricket match on the West Coast of America. One milestone moment in a bigger journey ahead @MLCricket @cricketdistrict

good group of seed investors imo

Someone explain to me why halting interviews for student visas isn't absolutely moronic policy.

I saw filming outside of our office a few weeks ago. Didn't realize I was recording Jony Ive meeting up with @sama for their commercial. I love this city.

This is product-market fit

I remember @mamoonha saying to me a variation of this: “you have to really want it to even have a chance to be great”

So much hard work behind the scenes for years from the @cradlewise team, led by @radhikagandhi, that has led to organic customer love like this from @sama 🫶

we bought a lot of silly baby things that we haven't needed but definitely i recommend a cradlewise crib and a lot more burp rags than you think you could possibly need
