i keep asking myself if I would have invested in zepto when the founders were just starting out. Not that I had the opportunity to evaluate/invest, but this question keeps haunting me every time I dismiss an opportunity. There's probably no right answer, no heuristic, just gut

Was listening to the Colin and Samir ✌🏼✌🏾 interview of Daniel Ek. Looking back now, Daniel was so right with the acquisition of Gimlet Media and Anchor back in 2019. Paying $350M for two podcast cos. was not normal and surprising back then. And then he doubled down on the medium

It seems like Microsoft couldn't care less about Copilot integrations on retail user platforms because its enterprise users are loving Copilot roll outs.

I'm in SFO this weekend + Monday. In Atlanta on Tues/Wed and NYC/NJ Area Thurs/Fri. DM or WA me if you are around and you think we could catch-up. Looking forward especially to meet folks building in AI/MLOps, that's going to be our focus over the next couple of years. Cheers!

Just learned that Pali Hill in Bandra, Mumbai used to be a golf course in 1905, until 1950! 🤯 The Bombay Golf Club moved from Bombay Gymkhana and was set up in Bandra as the Pali Hill Golf Club. Still shook that I never knew of this history before. Can't seem to imagine a

Built an audio/video transcription app for myself within 24 hours. The processing times are loooong (even for a 5min video) because I'm testing this with Docker and Whisper-Tiny locally on my M2 Air machine. Maybe will be faster when hosted on VPS, but i'm just amazed that i

Saw the Google Willow announcement and was blown away with the achievement. But I didn’t truly understand what was technically happening nor the potential benefits of this computing advancement. Asked Claude to explain it to me with an analogy and now I understand Willow a

At a cafe, just saw a dude use ChatGPT Voice to debrief after a sales pitch, asking GPT Voice how he can improve given a scenario he didn't know how to tackle on the call.

Was not expecting another Tiger Feathers banger in such a short time, but glad there's another one and it's incredible to see it's about Jar. There's a lot to say about Jar, Nishchay and Misbah. Few do it better than Aaryaman Vir and Rahul Sanghi tigerfeathers.substack.com/p/explaining-t…

VC funds globally raised record sized funds since 2022. Two years on, we're seeing GenAI startups raise record investments - ~30% of all venture funding. is record fund size fuelling record investment or the other way around?

Personally, think GenAI requires record investment sizes and it seems justified too. We're seeing startups grow rev at a faster pace than ever before, while costs to operate are capital intensive. It just so happened that record fund sizes were raised at the right time.
