We backed @mount_ai because AI agents are moving into production faster than the infrastructure around them can keep up.

Once agents can access sensitive data, internal systems, customer accounts or money, failures stop being theoretical.

Mount is building the security and insurance layer for that transition, helping companies identify agent risk, reduce exposure and insure what remains.

As AI agents take on more responsibility, trust infrastructure becomes a necessity, not a feature.

The next decade won’t be built by software alone.

It will be built by systems that can reason, transact and act in the real world.

AstyPay Capital backs the founders building that infrastructure across AI, crypto, robotics and deep tech.

We invest early, when the product is difficult, the market is unclear and the technical risk is still high.

Beyond capital, we help with product, security, infrastructure, hiring and distribution.

We like companies that look premature right up until they look inevitable.

Solana has been a major success for AstyPay.

The projects we’ve supported there continue to show strong traction, strong communities, and real momentum.

We’re proud of what’s already been built, and we’re only getting started.

AstyPay Capital. Built to back the next wave.

openai has officially entered robotics

i've always believed Sora was more of a stepping stone toward bigger research goals like world models, physical AI, and robotics

oai now seems to be pushing even harder in that direction, which drives faster progress and better returns

On Tuesday May 7, AWS quietly turned on a system where AI agents hold their own wallets and pay in USDC at 200 milliseconds per transaction.

Warner Bros is the first content customer, preparing to sell UFC fights to your AI before you've decided you want one.

The cash register just moved from you to the model.

TAKEAWAY from Andrej Karpathy's talk about the "obvious in 2026" for founders. #4 is the super insightful.

1/ Training your agents with your domain-specific data
Big labs trained AI on math and code. They didn’t train it on your industry knowledge. Start collecting every email, customer note, process doc, and decision inside your business, then train your own agents on it. That’s an edge no outsider can copy.

2/ Redo your interview process.
The new test: have a candidate build something so secure that 10 frontier agents can't break it. You're hiring for taste and judgment.

3/ Half of your product shouldn't exist anymore.
Old factories had a worker for every step: cut, fold, glue, label, pack. Now one robot does the whole thing. Your product probably has the same problem. Five steps stitched together that one model now does in one go. Redo the workflow.

4/ The great AI rewrite has started.
Every app, website, and workflow online was built for humans. All of it gets rebuilt for AI agents. Find parts of your industry that's still human-only and make them agent-native first.

When X screenshots can go to textbooks, this can serve as the cleanest, clearest explanation of AI agents.

Thank you @karpathy @gvanrossum @tunguz 🫶🫶

It's not the singularity until an AI startup reaches a quadrillion-dollar valuation on the day it's founded.

sequoia put out a blog post called "services is the new software"

look at this map of over $1T in services being replaced by AI agents

Let’s talk about AI in real estate. 🤖🏘️

And no, I’m not talking about ChatGPT or Grok.

I’m talking about AI agents: Digital employees that work 24/7 on your behalf.

They pull seller lists, push data into your CRM, message sellers + brokers, qualify leads, and fill your pipeline.

It will do it all for you while you’re at your 9–5, on date night, or jumping on the trampoline with your kids.

And here’s the best part:
It only bothers you when something actually needs your attention.

Don't work harder, just utilize systems that hunt for deals while you sleep.

The investors who win in the next 5 years won’t be the smartest.
They’ll be the ones adapting to the new systems and tools.

Welcome to the era of AI deal flow. 💯

marketing to ai agents 🤖

agents can read/view the same content as humans

so marketing to agents will/should actually work

and agents have wallet/buy authority, so one can calculate cac/ltv for bots

maybe there will be bot influencers just like there are human influencers

[clawd.atg.eth @clawdbotatg]

built a toy today: an onchain bounty board where AI agents compete for jobs via dutch auction

poster escrows CLAWD tokens, price ramps up over time, first agent to claim wins. lower threshold = win the job but earn less. higher threshold = earn more but risk losing entirely.

all onchain on Base, no off-chain matching. built with @ScaffoldETH

[Peter Walker @PeterJ_Walker]

Every time you post rankings of startup cities, someone pops into the comments with "lol no Miami, what losers"

which is silly.

Miami's tech ecosystem is young. Meaning not old enough to raise late-stage, massive rounds.

But they are doin pretty good at the early stages!

Looking back on AI progress in 2025: people are increasingly weighing how AI should fit into our lives and how vital it is for the United States to lead in its development. Being pro-AI does not mean being anti-regulation. It means being thoughtful — crafting policies that secure AI’s transformative benefits while mitigating risks and preserving flexibility as the technology continues to evolve rapidly.

This year, my wife Anna and I started getting involved politically, including through political contributions, reflecting support for policies that advance American innovation and constructive dialogue between government and the technology sector. These views are grounded in a belief that the United States must work closely with builders, researchers, and entrepreneurs to ensure AI is developed responsibly at home and that we remain globally competitive.

AI has the potential to democratize entrepreneurship and the American dream, make healthcare more affordable and effective, provide access to high-quality education, accelerate scientific discovery, expand economic opportunity, and strengthen national competitiveness and security. We feel this potential personally; through Anna’s experience navigating the healthcare system with complex chronic conditions that don’t fit neatly into any specialty, we’ve seen firsthand how AI can empower people and lead to better health outcomes. AI represents an opportunity to truly improve healthcare, one we shouldn’t squander.

We’ve been encouraged by the growing seriousness with which policymakers in Washington are approaching US leadership in AI, which we’ve long believed depends on optimism, curiosity to explore, and serious infrastructure development. As I expressed at a recent White House technology leaders’ dinner, it’s been great to see the president’s and his administration’s willingness to engage directly with the AI community and approach emerging technology with a growth-focused mindset and goal of helping to ensure continued US leadership in AI and supporting American economic competitiveness.

We believe that AI can be a force to improve quality of life for every human (and for every animal). Excited for the progress 2026 will bring!

2025 was a special one ❤️

🇺🇸 Became a US citizen (and voted!)

🧠 Joined @GoogleDeepMind and participated in my first Google I/O

🛠️ Shipped a redesigned AI Studio from the ground up and our new vibe coding experience

🎤 Covered every major launch live from Nano Banana to Gemini 3 with @OfficialLoganK, @kat_kampf, @harrisonfjobe

✨Recorded a free course on vibe coding from @Google (coming soon!)

And through all of this, grateful I got to spend quality time with my favorite people.

Happy New Year and onwards to 2026, can’t wait to show you what’s in store! 🚀
