Note: you don't need to be a repeat founder to apply. 30% of the founders we back are first time founders who are either already breaking out or have a deep research breakthrough

From Klarna to CoreWeave to Chime, next year’s IPO candidates mean a long-anticipated way for the startups’ early and repeat investors to cash out.

Last week, we sat around the table with some of the UK’s top founders, builders & operators for an intimate R[3]sidency dinner with Base 🟦🟧 One message echoed amongst conversations, breakthrough products take time, courage, & community. The best teams don’t start perfect, they iterate, test, and find what sticks. That’s why we built R[3]sidency, a UK accelerator for founders in Web3, AI + frontier tech who are obsessed with building category-defining companies from the ground up. Backed by Coinbase 🛡️, Base, Animoca Brands & Founders Factory, we’re here for the 1% who are serious about execution. Thanks to everyone who joined us, this is just the beginning.

We keep meeting founders who are 19, 20, maybe 21-- and they're already thinking at a level most people never reach. They're not building side projects. they're solving real problems in AI, robotics, climate, space, biotech, energy, defense. and people still tell them they're "too young" or "too early." India Ascends 2026 by Lightspeed India is built for exactly this. if you're under 25 and building hard tech, apply. $100K+ in credits. top teams can raise $200K–$3M in funding. deadline: jan 21 - powered by: Devfolio | community: localhost HQ

Coding agents are no longer a distant idea—they're already starting to reshape how we work. YC's Tom Blomfield (Tom Blomfield) and David Lieb (David Lieb) discuss how AI coding tools are transforming software development, why small, high-agency teams will be able to do what once took armies of engineers, and why there's never been a better time to start something new. They explore the bigger picture too: a future where there's more abundance, knowledge work becomes more accessible, and founders have more leverage than ever before. If you're thinking about building, there's no better moment than right now. 0:00 - Intro 0:46 - The combine harvester argument for AI 02:23 - Building with no-code tools 5:37 - The arguments against AI coding 7:01 - Jevons Paradox 9:26 - What happens to the software jobs of today? 12:16 - How will these tools affect knowledge work? 15:08 - An abundant future 16:21 - Advice for future founders

🚨WARNING: We Are Waiting Until it’s Too Late! 🚨 While the rest of us scroll, argue, and pretend everything is fine… They’re finishing the underground bunkers. They’re building the data centers that will watch every move. And something far darker is happening behind the scenes with children. The video you’re about to watch doesn’t ask for your opinion. It asks why you’re still participating. If the elite already have their exits planned… what does that say about the future they’re preparing for the rest of us? Why does the idea of simply “stopping participation” feel more radical than anything politicians ever propose? At what point does waiting for permission become the most dangerous form of obedience? If this is already happening in plain sight… how much longer do we keep pretending we didn’t see it? The game only continues because we keep playing. Tag someone who still thinks “it’ll never happen.” And be honest in the comments: are we already too late… or is this the last window? Let me know what You think, and SHARE THIS so that others may too! And if You're not already following Noah B. Price... What the absolute heck are You doing?!

Jack Dorsey’s #1 rule for pitching your startup: “Show them something that works” Jack Dorsey, Jim McKelvey, and another engineer built the initial prototype for Square in a month. As Jack recalls: “I could actually swipe a card, generate an electronic receipt via email, and then send it out to a person. I loved this because I would go around to all these angel investors and VCs and charge them $5-50 to show them my new idea.” This prototype was critical in helping the company raise $10 million in initial funding from Khosla Ventures. And Jack believes it’s a lesson all founders should take to heart: “The thing that really inspires people is a working product. When you’re pitching someone, the best thing you can do is show them something that works.” Jack continues: “We did this with Twitter. We had a great number of users… and we had investors who were coming to us who were already users of the product. Their families were users of the product. So the story became very easy to tell and they could easily see why this was something that was powerful.” Video source: Stanford University (2011)

Today we launch 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐈— $88m, Europe’s largest dedicated pre-seed fund. Built for founders with just a concept and the conviction to chase it. In the last three years with Fund I, the Concept team has partnered with 44 companies at day zero — saying yes when others say no. We’ve led 90% of our rounds, backed founders in every sector from commodities to robotics, and stood behind their ambition to build multi-billion-dollar outcomes from the very first cheque. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: •⁠ ⁠$88m — significantly oversubscribed, with first close in just 3 weeks •⁠ ⁠Backed by world-class global LPs: Top Tier Capital Partners Partners, @MarktlikCapital, Aldea Ventures, Dominus, Granite and Integra Partners. •⁠ 70%+ of our Fund I portfolio founders joined as LPs, alongside some of Europe’s best founders — including unicorn founders (), Amar Shah (Wayve), and Mik Attisani (Faceit) •⁠ ⁠Fund I is a top 1% fund globally for its vintage on all metrics, with $450m+ raised by our founders so far 𝐓𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦: Anrea Munsamy, Ariel Rahamim, Jeff Chowdhry, Lauren Sauerland, Oliver Oliver Kicks and Seyon Indran — building Concept with you as outsiders to VC has been my greatest joy. From late nights to tough decisions, from wins to crises — sharing those highs and lows with you has shaped a people-first fund that truly reflects who we are. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐏𝐬: those who believed on day one, with a 90% re-up rate — thank you for believing in our concept and backing us again. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬: thank you for trusting us at day zero. This fund is for your ambition. A huge thank you to Alex Macdonald and the sequel team , as a value add LP, for helping us bring this incredible video to life (watch to the end!) At Concept Ventures , we don’t see sectors, we see people.

It's finally here - the Official Lean AI Company Playbook 1000+ founders, investors and execs have been flooding my DMs about. Ever since I created the Official Lean AI Leaderboard after exiting my $150M annual revenue startup, founders from across the globe have asked me this one question: "How are these lean AI companies generating millions with tiny teams?" So I spent the last 3 months obsessively tracking and collaborating with 30+ lean AI-native founders, researching the answer. Here's what I discovered: They've built operational systems that multiply human capability. Instead of scaling headcount, they've created AI-powered processes that let small teams operate at unprecedented scale. And their secret goes far beyond the specific AI tools they use. It lies in redesigning their entire company operations around a fundamentally different approach to growth and execution. After countless conversations, interviews, and behind-the-scenes exclusive access, I finally documented the exact playbook with complete systems. This comprehensive playbook includes: • A complete breakdown of the tech stack and operational workflows • The organizational design principles that enable tiny teams to do massive work • Critical inflection points where things break (and how to navigate them) • A detailed 6-month implementation plan for starting your own lean AI company (with weekly actions) • Implementation best practices from dozens of successful lean AI-native companies Want the ultimate Lean AI Playbook or help transforming your Lean AI operations? 👇 • Like and Share this post • Comment "Lean AI Playbook" • Follow me (so I can DM you) --------------- PS: Separately, I'm opening a limited number of high-impact advising slots for serious founders and operators who want to work directly with me—beyond just consuming my content. If you're ready to transform how your company operates using AI, DM me. (Please note: these are paid spots due to limited availability and time atm)

RFK Jr. delivers a blunt explanation of who Anderson Cooper’s “real boss” is. Hint: It’s not CNN. “I think Anderson Cooper makes about $20 million, give or take. If you say he’s got a $20 million salary and 75% of that or 80% of that is coming from the pharmaceutical companies (running non-stop ads), that’s who his real boss is.” “Brought to you by Pfizer.” #ad: This clip comes from an eye-opening new film by The Truth About Vaccines. If you’ve wondered why Americans are sicker than ever — and why no one stopped it — this film lays it all out. I’ve already watched it, and it tells the corruption story masterfully. You can watch it now for free here:
