Attio's CRM solution reminds me of other great "next generation" software products like Figma , Linear , etc. A product founder with a precise vision for how things could and should be, coupled with an elegant understanding of design, alongside a killer engineering team that

Every large company in the world is setting up a plan for security of AI & we believe Protect AI is going to be a very critical part of the end-to-end solution. 👏 Ian Swanson, Daryan D. Badar Ahmed, Evolution Equity & boldstart ventures x.com/ProtectAICorp/…

I remember when I first ran into Alex at a tech conference and Palantir was still in its infancy, he was doing Tai Chi off on the grass by himself between sessions, then when he was onstage as part of a panel, one of his first comments was, randomly (and to nervous laughter in

Companies that have built the next generation software stack like Figma, Linear, Notion , @Attio are all distinguished by founding teams that have a powerful design sensibility; one that enables them to craft products that feel elegant, simple, and "the way it should have

The Origin Financial product is now quite simply the best money management product on the market and there isn’t anything close. Try it to see if I’m right: useorigin.com (We are investors in Origin)

Random: When Nikesh Arora took over as CEO of Palo Alto Networks, i remember thinking "head of sales business guy taking over a deep tech company in a space with lots of existing competitors and new entrants. Good luck!" ...Stock is up 5x since he became CEO and they've

Had a great time doing this and leave it to Karri Saarinen and the thoughtful team at Linear to put something like it together. Separately, to this day, i have zero self-awareness that i move around this much when i speak. It's really distracting. Let's chalk it up to

This is simply not true. Waymo robotaxis are much more cautious about pedestrians in SF than the average human driver. "Harrowing" is particularly hyperbolic. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

It is a remarkable tribute to the bloat, incompetence, & politicization of the SEC that they waited 4 years to sue* for an action that was widely known when it happened. Somebody should make a "Silicon Valley" sitcom about these regulatory agencies; the elevator pitch is "Yes,

Psyched to be part of what Anurag Goel is building with the Render team. The "Stripe mafia" is emerging as the new "Paypal mafia", as many of the early Stripe team go on to found and build the next wave of great companies. render.com/blog/series-c

"hey, which will get us in more trouble: not scrubbing problematic answers to questions about Xi or not finishing the find and replace of 'OpenAI with DeepSeek....hahaha just kidding, scrub the problematic answers"

You know you're in rare company when he says "you've got it all wrong, I'm a lot more like Genghis Khan than any of these other guys"

I'm sure nobody involved in the decision was long ADA because that is an OBVIOUS CHOICE to stockpile as a strategic reserve for the United States of America! (pour one out for Cardano's stated goal to "redistribute power to the margins"). Come on.

"Deel's alleged spy locked himself in an office bathroom when confronted by court-appointed solicitors on Friday" Probably not the best reaction. If true, you can imagine this guy getting a text from a burner phone later saying "I thought we agreed to go with righteous

This is really good. The sections on traits of top founders and founder assessment among partners are particularly great but the whole thing is great.

It's both fantastic and annoying to see how quickly Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉 has whipped SF back into shape. I realize there's a ton more to do, but the fact this seemed like an intractable problem for years to the previous administration(s) is bonkers in light of how much Lurie has already

Wont post the photo to protect the guilty, but there is a 300 person line in Soho for a skin care pop-up at 10:30am on a beautiful sunday in new york. Like all soho pop-up lines (and there are many!) it's not really moving and designed to make the brand look even more popular by

This is precisely the kind of idiotic behavior that will guarantee you keep losing elections. This is "defund the police" level stupidity.

Karri has always reminded me of Dylan Field in many ways, including but not limited to - a careful thinker. all responses are calm and considered - an artisan-like focus on Design and Purpose - no shortcuts. no edge or far corner of the company/product are unworthy of his attention
