Today Reactor is coming out of stealth. We’ve raised $59M in Seed and Series A funding, led by Lightspeed, with participation from Amplify Partners, wndrco, Sky9 Capital, and FPV Ventures. Reactor is the platform for building in the World Model era: the infrastructure that lets developers build with them at global scale for the first time. Stream from a frontier World Model to your app, in real time, all in under 10 lines of code. World Models represent the next major shift in AI: pixels, audio and actions are generated on the fly, in real-time, in response to user inputs, and to the environment. Every time computing has made a shift from passive to interactive, entire industries appeared that didn't exist before. We're standing in front of such moment again. Over the last 6 months, we’ve assembled an all-star team with alumni from Apple, Meta, Google, Luma AI, Netflix, and Replicate. We're already partnering with some of the biggest names and labs in the world, and hundreds of developers are already building on Reactor. The World Model era starts now.

Over the past few months at Dedalus Labs, we’ve noticed how many talented founders from around the world are being held back by one thing: location. There is no better place in the world to build an AI startup than San Francisco. SF is home to all the major AI labs, top talent, world-class investors, and it is where the future is being built every day. That’s why, this December, we’re giving builders everywhere a chance to break in. We are taking over and launching Break In—a month-long hacker house program in the heart of San Francisco. If you’re not from SF, and you’re building an AI startup, this is your chance to join us. Build your startup on top of Dedalus’ Agents SDK or MCP deployment infrastructure and we’ll cover your stay (housing, lunch, and co-working space). As a member of Break In, you’ll get access to all the best parts of SF. You’ll be introduced to top founders, mentors, and investors. You’ll get to skip the line at the biggest tech events. Plus, you’ll receive free API credits and expanded access to the best-in-class AI stack through our partner network of top AI infrastructure companies. Applications open October 27th and close November 10th. We will be accepting applications on a rolling basis. Final acceptances will go out November 14th to ensure international founders have enough time to secure visas. Ready to break in? Follow us on Twitter/X for more updates and visit the link in the comments to apply on October 27th!

Worldcoin is a game-changer in crypto and Ai world!!! Let me get straight and tell you more about the World and their $WLD ecosystem They’re not just another project—they’re paving the way for mass adoption with some insane innovations Here's how 👇 World App: This isn’t your typical wallet. It’s crypto’s first super app! A non-custodial Ethereum wallet with Mini Apps, where you can manage assets, verify with World ID, and access third-party services—all from one place, securely. World ID: In an AI-dominated world, privacy matters. World ID is already the largest identity protocol, with millions of verified users across 160+ countries. Their biometric verification keeps your data private and protected. Worldchain: Just launched and already massive. Designed to scale with a global user base, it’s the largest layer-2 chain on day one, enabling secure, human-prioritized transactions and on-chain identity verification. Orb 2.0: Powered by NVIDIA, this next-gen biometric scanner is 5x faster and better at fraud detection. Real-time, privacy-preserving verification at its best! $WLD is redefining what’s possible in Web3 by solving real problems like deepfakes and digital fraud. Sam Altman and the team are pushing boundaries and making this space future-proof

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.

We asked delian about the story of investing in EnduroSat. "By the end of the year, Enduro will be the largest satellite manufacturer in the entire world after Starlink." "I've been tracking them for 6 years. They are doing this with a 75% profit margin and 300+ customers." "The founders went to local universities in Bulgaria and took over the junior and senior year program." "When you walk around the office, it's just these cracked 23-26 year old Bulgarian kids grinding 12+ hours a day, working on the frontier of space."

chatgpt has 800 million weekly active users and it just became one of the biggest software distribution platform in history. i went on my first million to break down the wealth creation moment of chatgpt apps. for the first time, discovery, intent, and transaction all happen in the same place. when someone needs to solve a problem, they open chatgpt, describe what they want, and the right app surfaces instantly. there is no searching, downloading, or sign-up flow. the opportunity is to build apps that meet users at that exact moment of intent. apps that quietly appear when someone needs help filing taxes, finding a doctor, repairing credit, or pulling a business document. note: LCA has announced we are building chatgpt apps, go to the website if you're a band doing $5M+ in revenue looking for an app. this is the new playbook for building chatgpt apps. build for intent by starting with the questions people already ask every day: help me, find me, do this for me. these are high-signal, high-conversion moments that don’t require advertising. connect to the real data users care about through the model context protocol. banking, healthcare, government filings, and crm systems all open up as inputs for automation. your app earns trust when it can act on real information instead of generating text. use openai’s sdk ui to make each workflow tangible. give people sliders to explore cost scenarios, maps for discovery, calculators for quick answers, and checklists for next steps. each interaction should feel like a single focused experience, not a mini website. monetize through action. the right chatgpt app earns the second it’s used, not through long funnels or paywalls. charge small transaction fees, take affiliate revenue from connected services, or add light subscriptions for repeat users. in this MFM pod i gave away 3+ startups ideas to get your creative juices flowing. thanks to Sam Parr for having me on and nerding out with me. history’s repeating itself. first websites, then mobile apps, now chatgpt apps. early builders always win.

We got a $23 million dollar mansion in Silicon Valley to build the largest bank in the world. The goal is to scale from $30M to $100M in annual revenue in the next 60 days. Our experience at HFØ inspired us to build a long-term residency model that transcends the 12-week program. We believe that if you’re not willing to move to San Francisco with your whole team and lock in for as long as necessary, you’re not serious enough, you don’t want it as much as we do, and you’re going to lose. The house removes every possible distraction, and is equipped with a gym, cold plunge, hot tub, call booths, boardroom, sauna, steam room, podcast room, tennis court, theater, private chef, meeting rooms, and even a robot that takes care of house operations. Kontigo.com is locking in this house until we IPO. If you wanna move to SF and lock in with us, we’re hiring top technical and creative talent.
