Brittle guardrails won't work in the real world. John Nay & team are putting in the hard & necessary work to enable us to constrain and regulate best-in-class AI with best-in-class AI. Such ambitious goals are going to take all the talent we have --> norm.ai/careers

What a blast!🏭🚚🌉 Why do I love supply chain? With sufficient ambition, it's one of the few b2b spaces that can meaningfully improve the average persons experience. Only 13% of Americans think the next generation will have a better life. Supply chain is how we fight back.

3 non-obvious lessons I learned about team building by growing from $800K to $8M ARR with a team of 8 in 10 months. I hope these hard-earned lessons could inspire and help other founders:

Inference is the Future of AI! In the race to build smarter AI, much attention has been paid to training massive models like GPT-o1 Pro or DeepSeek-R1. But the real game-changer lies in inference—the moment these models step out of the lab and into the real world. Here’s why

Congrats to Quince on the $120M Series C! 🚀 I've lost count of how many people have asked me why an AI/infrastructure investor like Basis Set invested in a consumer company - is it a coincidence? We were the first check in and have doubled down in every single round since
