There are a lot of early-stage investment frameworks. After cycling through a bunch, I've found the "would I quit my job and want to work for this team" standard to be a very effective test. Strangely simple...

The collective hallucination of multi-stage funds about the likelihood of $10B+ outcomes is happening again when it comes to AI. Lower $B outcomes are being deemed not big enough for their fund sizes, which leaves a big gap. Strange stuff

Very excited to announce we've raised an additional $30M in our Series A, led by Sequoia Capital. Khosla Ventures and Mayo Clinic also joined in the round, further filled out by Neo, Calibrate Ventures, 1984 Ventures, Fuel Capital and MVPventures! co.bot/news/embracing…

Instantly skeptical of any pitch deck that uses the words "unifying" or "streamlining" when describing their value prop

While flashy demos of AI software engineers gets eyeballs, IMO the application of AI to unsexy service industries is the bigger opp. AI is eating services jobs left and right and will transform sectors that were historically overlooked by venture. samit-kalra.com/blog/ai-is-com…

Excellent thread on what makes investors lean in. Very glad we at 1984 Ventures are investors in Cobot

I'm proud to announce TeachMe.To's $5m seed round! The round was led by Bling Capital (#4 Midas Seed List) with participation from 1984 Ventures, Alumni Ventures, Marketplace Capital, Gokul Rajaram, Deb Liu , 20VC Fund, Casey Winters , Ed Hallen, Brent Turner + others.

Cap table math isn't intuitive: a $10M Series A on $50M post results in >20% dilution for founders. So we at 1984.vc set out to create an OSS cap table that founders can use to model their ownership/dilution in various scenarios ⬇️⬇️ 1984.vc/docs/cap-table…

VC firm 1984 Ventures created this cool cap table worksheet so founders can see how much dilution they're taking. (It's apparently client-side only so they are not storing your data) 1984.vc/docs/cap-table…

IMPORTANT - send me something weird, and i'll put it on a huge in real life billboard we've spent loads of money on billboards and thought it'd be funny to put something unhinged up one one / a bunch of them. it only needs to relate incredibly super vaguely to posthog at best.

Cline is hiring! I've moved to San Francisco to find cool people to help me with the project. We are the #1 app on OpenRouter (12b tokens/day), open source our code (12.3k stars), and have a growing discord community (4.6k members). Come help us make building software feel like

Does Granola tell the other participants that the call is being recorded? Can't remember seeing that disclosure anywhere

Signaling risk used to be about whether a multi-stage fund would invest in your next round. In 2025 it's whether even if they invested in you, they'd still invest in your competitor

Incredibly grateful for all the support after we announced Cline’s Series A. This opportunity would not be possible without our community, so thank you all 🙏 I also wanted to give a huge shoutout to Ramy Adeeb and Mark Percival at 1984 Ventures. Ramy has been like a mentor through

Congrats to Andrew Tulloch - surely the highest paid employee in the world (history of the world?)

Esther Perel would be the world’s best early stage investor if she chose to
