@Jacob @gabosgab @BigBoxVR We are so lucky to have had you as an investor, @Jacob! Thank you for believing in @BigBoxVR to lead the round. And then providing insights + support to help us execute our vision. You are the best. 😎
New @vcmastermind episode 🎧: my old friend @illscience on the firm-craft inside @a16z — single-decision-maker accountability, investing through the 2022 reset, and what GPs can borrow from it. https://t.co/VGnJuc5uep
@f_j_j_@GPGPTai Also, when i said the model doesn’t matter: i mean that’s not a strategic position for us. We use multiple models (and always testing) to hone the judgement, wisdom and counterpoint that exists in the mind of a 30+ year veteran GP.
We built an AI product for VCs and the power users never open it.
They email a deck to [email protected] and get a bear case back before their next meeting. That's the whole product.
Meet Billy, your AI analyst for VC & PE. @GPGPTai
@f_j_j_@GPGPTai Fair point on OpenClaw, but our power users are mostly not technical. They are time strained VCs, PE investors, family offices, sovereign wealth and corporate VC firms who are more focused on deal prosecution than tech experimentation themselves. They do want quality judgment.
@f_j_j_@GPGPTai It's not actually the models that matters (though ours are tuned for VC/PE), it's that GPGPT has the growing corpus of docs that exist within a firm's deal and workflow. It's assembling the collective brain in one place enabling firms to work more efficiently.
@kennyistyping So true, one of my favorite books that I relate to business daily is "Golf is not a game of perfect" by Dr. Bob Rotella. Trust your preparation, and execute!
@kennyistyping Man, startup building is all about iterating, growing, learning from the market feedback, doing it again, and building the persistence muscle to keep keep keep going! "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor" - FDR
Ran my old startup Exitround through @GPGPTai today.
"Why should I not invest in this? Argue against it like my partners will."
What came back wasn't a risk checklist. It was the objections my partners would've actually raised in the room. The standard AI-term-paper both-sides answer is useless in an IC. This wasn't that.
A general AI can write you an IC memo. It can't write *yours*. We shipped Templates in @GPGPTai today — upload one of your firm's own documents and every output comes back in your house format. Build one off your last memo.

Super fun interview with @wolfejosh for @KauffmanFellows on the stuff investors rarely say out loud — fundraising while staying contrarian, hiring people who disagree well, keeping conviction from getting averaged out by committee. Then, because it's Josh, we ended up on olfaction tech and "lifecording." LFG, the future is bright! ✨
Drop a pitch deck into GPGPT. Ask what's compelling, what's missing, how it stacks against the deals you've passed on.
Every deck sharpens the next call — because it's reasoning against your firm's deal history, not the open web.
Your firm's judgment, compounding.
