Love day trips to SF:

✅ HFØ Demo Day
✅ Elad Gil & Arthur Mensch (@MistralAI) dropping knowledge
✅ Quality 1-1 time with founders, engineers, GPs, and LPs

Nowhere else on the planet matches the in-person energy & center of gravity of SF.

We are living through the AI equivalent of ZIRP

Shout-out to my fellow founders, GPs, and LPs for joining us for a special SXSW dinner. And to my gracious co-host Charlie Stephens and Fidelity Private Shares. 🤠

The secret to how @get_writer has landed big deals?

Telling customers exactly what they won’t do, and what they currently aren’t good at.

Listen to co-founder and CEO May Habib explain how this counterintuitive growth strategy sets the bar for Writer even higher.

Another banger from Team Superhuman⚡

we just did our first case study for runway.com

and it's with Superhuman - one of the brands i most admire

it's been a real joy and honor to see how successful they've been adopting runway.com to run their business

Will be in LA next week for Upfront Summit and hosting happy hour for select GPs and LPs on 2/27 in West Hollywood: lu.ma/gp-lp-happyhour

Lan @Xuezhao is a boss and one of my favorite VCs. Founders would be remiss in not trying raise capital from and partner with Basis Set.

founders overweight valuation + check size when picking investors, Emil Michael says. The real order of priorities should be this:

Partner first
Firm second
Check/terms third

Hosting a private dinner w/Charlie Stephens Fidelity Investments on Tue 3/12 during SXSW for select founders, GPs, and LPs.

If you're in Austin then and would like an invite, DM or email me.

🎉Congrats to May Habib and the Writer team on introducing multilingual capabilities with Palmyra LLMs!
