@kseniam0s @ThePageform @RightSideCapVC @redbikecapital @YellowRocksVC @geek_ventures Thanks for the shout out! We are all about that first belief check at Underdog Labs!

Congrats to @mgafni on a great yarn. And shout out to my team! This is John Blanchard's first project using Blender and 3d rendering. Also props to @erin_caughey and former interns Valerie Chu and Jade Wang who worked on this.

San Francisco is a series of startup factories.

It is demo day season.

There are several demo days the next week. Will be at @fdotinc on Friday.

Tonight @theresidency held theirs with 10 new startups that just spent a month working on their companies.

You might recognize the last one. It is @blevlabs who made the AI that I use to make https://t.co/8L5xphk0qQ (I was first to discover him about a year ago. Yet another company launched in my home.

The factories, including YCombinator, @hf0, and a few others, help founders accelerate their companies and set them up to present to investors.

Most of the people in the audience are investors.

I am blessed to get invited to record from the front row.

Each company gets about 90 seconds to give their pitch.

$725B of hyperscaler capex this year is the largest subsidy the application layer has ever received.

Most LPs and some GPs don't yet see this.

@SynaptrixAI is building a platform that enables people to control real world devices with their brain. It is non-invasive and also not in the Marvel universe. Read the interview here - https://t.co/UeZjWKGtFb

Underdogs on a mission to truly change the world...go @SynaptrixAI !

Here’s a behind the scenes look at Atlas™, our non-invasive brain-computer interface, driving a wheelchair simply by thinking about the direction you want to move.

A future where people interact with machines and devices using their thoughts is closer than you think (and no, you don’t need implants to do any of this).

At @SynaptrixAI, we are building high performance non-invasive BCIs that translate neural activity measured from the scalp into real time control signals. Using advanced signal processing, new classes of deep learning models, and large scale neural datasets, we are able to separate true cortical intent, enabling stable decoding of motor and other neural signals.

In these early demonstrations, users are able to control a cursor and navigate interfaces using only their brain activity. The same underlying system can be extended to wheelchair navigation, assistive communication, prosthetics, and other programmable brain driven applications.

This is still early work, but the trajectory is clear. As models improve and datasets scale, non-invasive neural interfaces will become dramatically more capable, accessible, and deployable in the real world.

We’re excited to share the early progress!

@pmarca I wonder about the loss of layered fact checking (multiple sources, primary documents, data verification) from professional journalism. Agree there is a lot of bias, but seems like there is some value to having a process to verify facts. How many X posts have any level of this?

Last week we launched Tennr Phone Calling, our integrated solution that handles high-volume, time-consuming calls to payers, providers, and patients.

Trey traveled to 4 states in 5 days to demo Tennr Phone Calling to executives across the country. Here’s what they had to say...

If you’re experimenting with being a founder & this is a part time pursuit, I get it. But if ur all in your startup and want to be an assassin at fundraising…These Gamma decks are not helping you.

[Alex Chang @alexchangsf]

Oh yeah. That's why I like to have back to back intros with founders...

@Beezer232 @credistick How bout we just stick with #1 :)

One thing the normies are right about is that there's such a thing as "politicizing everything" and the people who do it are super annoying.
