Investing @upfrontvc | Previously: @lux_capital & @dormroomfund, traveling @SchwarzmanOrg, making coffee @cometeer
Excited to share that I've joined @upfrontvc, where I'll continue investing in early-stage AI application and infrastructure startups. If you're building, investing, or ideating, don't hesitate to reach out!
Humanity was made to build institutions. What are you helping create?
Feeling a bit philosophical, dropping some “Core Beliefs”
I'll be in NYC Thursday and Friday! Excited to meet people thinking about: 1. Compute markets & infrastructure 2. Physical AI, RL, and unique AI apps 3. Engineers with fun side projects hmu if you’re around
Bright AI is changing our ability to monitor physical infrastructure, and I couldn't be more excited about what's to come!
Very excited about @khoslaventures & @InspiredCap leading Bright AI's new $51M Series A! America's infrastructure is in a state of atrophy. @BrightAI_corp is leveraging AI and edge devices to supercharge water, power, manufacturing, and industrial infrastructure. Since…
In SF today! Was missing the co-working, coffee, and billboards about AI
Had a blast hosting so many incredible engineers!
T-10min until LA’s biggest tech intern event of the summer!
T-10min until LA’s biggest tech intern event of the summer!
DCIM has lagged behind innovation in compute, cooling, and energy for far too long. It’s time for a new wave of infrastructure, and I’m super excited by everything @Aravolta_X25 and @Marg_Groisman are building!
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…
The RL wave is here, and Kasey/the Osmosis team are paving the way!
It’s easy to fine-tune small models w/ RL to outperform foundation models on vertical tasks. We’re open sourcing Osmosis-Apply-1.7B: a small model that merges code (similar to Cursor’s instant apply) better than foundation models. Links to download and try out the model below!
Design isn’t just using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or Altium. It used to mean making, testing, and iterating. Founders are becoming builders again. I'm here for the builders.
JFK’s new 30min bus ride to get an Uber really puts a damper on getting to NYC
Throwing an exclusive meetup for LA interns on 7/10!
Are you interning in LA this summer? ☀️ Join us for a sunset rooftop meetup for some of LA's best tech interns on Thursday, July 10th! Spots are limited, apply here: bit.ly/4kRvfuj
The Northeastern community is thriving in SF!
There’s a lot @Northeastern founders
Are we in the era of fast-followers? Open AI -> Anthropic, Mistral, Cohere, xAI Copilot -> Cursor, Windsurf, Magic Brex -> Ramp, Divvy SpaceX -> Relativity, Stoke Anduril -> Saronic, Mach
I'll be in SF THURSDAY! If you're graduating from YC AI Startup School, building in AI + Infra, or investing in the future of compute, let’s hang. A few areas I’m especially excited about: “All about the data” – unique data acquisition methods + novel training approaches that…
Trains are incredible The ability to get anywhere in 30min brings so much alpha
Should coffee shops allow laptops? In SF, it's the norm In NYC, it's an anomaly In LA, no one cares
