Managing Partner at Compound Michael Dempsey explains why being early can still mean missing the market. “We were early both in terms of how customers think about integrating robots around humans and on actual performance scaling... At times, things go from totally dead to super hot.”

Managing Partner at Compound Michael Dempsey explains why the human side of founders may matter more in the AI era. “I think it’s never been that the smartest founders are the best ones. I think you have had to be pretty smart, but I’m sure there are people smarter than some of these best founders.”

Managing Partner at Compound Michael Dempsey explains how understanding structural themes can reduce the need to pick individual winners. “In 2024, I made this basket that I called the ‘AI obvious basket.’ It was 30 names roughly equal weighted. It drastically outperformed and I haven’t changed it in two years.”

Jeff Bezos shares the advice he received from John Doerr early on at Amazon “When I first met John Doerr who is the partner at Kleiner Perkins who invested in Amazon, one of the things he said really stuck with me,” Jeff Bezos begins. “What startup companies do is they take their precious early-capital dollars and systematically eliminate risks. That’s what the successful ones do.” Jeff continues: “What people often get wrong is that when you’re a startup company, 99% of whether you make it to being a more established company is luck. At Amazon we’ve worked incredibly hard. We’ve cared for our customers. I would put us up against any company in terms of how much we have bled and sweat for our customers. But we had the planets align for us so perfectly in those early days — in terms of the timing and many other things like decisions we made that were poor decisions but turned out to be the right decision anyway — and those early days are when the company’s destiny is not really in its own control.” As a company grows larger and becomes established, Jeff explains, you worry less about externalities.

How spider silk are extracted at Oxford University. When humans think about being abducted by space aliens they many times imagine things like this. I wonder if spiders get nightmares of being abducted by humans and being tied down and web pulled out of em? Are we the baddies?

At #ETHDenver, Grayscale’s Head of Product & Research, rayhaneh, shared why tokenization is still in its earliest innings, and why the potential opportunity lies in long-term capital formation and generational adoption.

Trajan Langdon on the Pistons' trade deadline: "I don't think there was a rock that was not overturned in terms of understanding where we're at and how we move forward. We looked at different things ... Some things were way too expensive at that point."

This might be the most uncomfortable truth for early founders: Listening to customers too early can ruin your company. Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora explains why enterprise buyers will always pull you toward “speeds and feeds”—and why that leads to products no one can actually deploy. Customers are great at telling you what’s broken today. They’re terrible at imagining what should exist tomorrow. The best founders earn the right to listen by first having a point of view. Build the vision. Then let the market react to it.

Michael Truell says we're still early in automating software: "It's really easy at an executive level to underestimate just how far away we are from the limit of automating software." "I think that there's a really, really long way to go. There's a really long, messy middle." "We are in a market that's had an iPod moment, and it's going to have an iPhone moment and another iPhone moment. And I think that there have been a couple of those so far. I think that there are definitely more in the future." Michael Truell with martin_casado

Russo recounts Rockefeller's disturbing admission about the real motives behind women's liberation. According to Rockefeller, the movement was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, in order to get women in the workplace, break up the family and indoctrinate children from an early age. "We couldn't tax half the population before women's lib... Now we get the kids in school at an early age. We can indoctrinate the kids how to think, which breaks up their family. The kids start looking at the state as the family—at the school, at the officials as their family." And this was only the beginning—Rockefeller's most unsettling admissions were still to be revealed.

“Is there an AI bubble?” Gavin Baker and David George In this conversation from a16z’s Runtime conference, Gavin Baker, Managing Partner and CIO of Atreides Management, joins David George, General Partner at a16z, to unpack the macro view of AI: the trillion-dollar data center buildout, the new economics of GPUs, and what this boom means for investors, founders, and the global economy. They discuss how this cycle compares to the dot-com era, why “there are no dark GPUs,” and what makes today’s infrastructure spending different from past bubbles. Gavin explains why he believes we’re still early in the AI supercycle, the changing margins in SaaS and software, and how business models and consumer interfaces are being rewritten in real time. 00:00 Intro 01:02 Are we in an AI Bubble? 02:41 Dark fiber vs. “no dark GPUs” 05:07 ROI on AI: Why this time is different 08:36 Round-tripping deals 12:22 The application layer: It’s still early 15:24 Margins, scaling laws 23:26 Reasoning models and the flywheel 27:18 The future of business models 29:41 Robotics and Elon’s Optimus vision Gavin Baker David George

💬 What does it mean to go from recording “Danger” in a garage in LA to now having the biggest tour ever? 🐨 We were really in danger at that time, we were just about to collapse. 🐹 But because we experienced that danger back then, when things get tough, we remember what we went through and it doesn’t feel so bad in that moment. 🐹 Isn’t it because of that time and the song that brought us here? 🐹 I think about it in those terms. 🐰 That’s exactly right.

A lovely trip down memory lane with the amazing Gergely Orosz! We chatted about things I work on at OpenAI today, my journey to AI Engineering at Coda, how I think about the AI startup landscape, and my early days at Google and Microsoft. My favorite part was getting to cross interview him off the record after :)

Jude Bellingham on #ELCLÁSICO : “It’s about being mentally kind of stable throughout the whole game. We know in terms of tactically how they play, how we want to play. It’s about managing all those other things. Mental side of the game, the atmosphere… it’s gonna be a huge factor. So yeah those little details that you can take they’re gonna be key.”

No matter how many times I watch a Max Fleischer cartoon from the early '30s, I marvel at the endless flow of creativity and beautiful rubbery motion. True visual jazz (and the actual jazz on the soundtrack, courtesy of Cab Calloway in this case, doesn't hurt either!).
