Most AI initiatives fail to deliver real impact.
Not because of the models, but because of how teams are designed.
Join us on January 13th at 12 PM ET for a live discussion between Phil Kirschner and Darren Murph on how distributed team design directly determines your AI results. You’ll walk away with practical insights you can apply immediately to build higher-leverage teams and drive stronger AI outcomes. RSVP with the link in the comments!
🚨 Hey folks I got something to announce:
I am launching a new investment fund brand:
Prototype Capital 🦾
A globally-active first-check investment fund.
We focus on cool stuff that's technical hard to achieve, but also still new enough to be a bit weird – globally.
Think Robotics in Eastern Europe, AI in SF, Software remotely, OpenSource SaaS, Space-tech in India, Reindustrialization of Europe, AI Agents in Brazil, among many others…
- $100k-$200k
- we say we invest early and we actually mean it
- with every 5th investment we are the first to commit
- only 6% of all ivnestments were after seed
- the brand will be a larger umbrella for all kinds of stuff from our own prototypes 😬, to streams, to communities, to investinpublic transparency efforts
- this is legally speaking a rebrand of my previous solo GP fund so we got track record to proof
- we do about 15-20 investments per year
Link in thread! 🔥

I’m grateful (and excited!) to join @zillow, where I’ll lead the Cloud HQ Experience team.
Our charter is to build a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable way of working.
The future of work is anchored in a shared mission, not a shared physical location.
I’m honored to partner with everyone at Zillow (which we call Zall, a wonderful nod to Y’all) to set the standard for workplace culture and excellence in distributed work.
🚀 We raised $5m led by @IndexVentures to build the future of AI driven task management at @HoopDotApp!
Two years ago, @justingallagher, @donnniegoat and I got together and started brainstorming.
We had worked together as early executives at @trello for 7.5 years! We wanted to recreate the magic of the early days of Trello and respond to the epidemic of distraction we were seeing in the workplace.
When I left Atlassian, I was in back-to-back meetings most days. Slack was constantly buzzing. My whole day was spent going between apps and praying I wouldn’t miss something important. I would wake up in the middle of the night remembering that DM I forgot to respond to.
In an age of AI, this kind of mental fatigue across tools drains humans of our energy to do the work that really matters: the focused and creative work that comes when we can feel secure that we’re on top of all important work.
Hoop is the product I wish I had. It connects to @Zoom, @Google Meet, @SlackHQ and email and automatically captures tasks for me using AI. It then centralizes everything in one spot so I never miss a task.
Our vision is to rethink task management with an #AI first principles mindset.
There’s so much we can do now that we couldn’t have imagined back when we were building Trello. It’s an exciting time to be building in the space, and we’ve got a world class team taking on this challenge.
Now’s the time to try @hoopdotapp out and let us know what you think!
We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing support from our community, investors, and friends.
Let’s go team! 👏🏼

I had a blast podcasting with Rob Sadow on @theflexindex#FlexPerspectives 🎙️
