✨Announcing Adverb Ventures!✨

A decade in the making, @aunder and I are teaming up to build an early stage venture firm.

We’ve closed a $75M fund and are open for business! If you’re building something new, we’d love to be your first call.

Hi there from the team at Adverb Ventures!

Who? https://t.co/gaeHJDSuB7

We are a new early-stage venture capital fund co-founded by @jess and @aunder. 👋👋

And we are live, backing extraordinary founders building enduring, breakout companies out of our $75M debut fund. 🧵

Big day for LionBio! @zebird0 and team are building a nasal spray platform for GLP-1s. Co-Founder Kim Leong has been working on drug delivery for decades at Colombia University and @zebird0 brings start-up speed, execution and vision from A16Z.

Better than my words, listen to it in their own (below)! Thrilled to be an investor as them continue on this journey. 💚

Four years ago a few of us at a16z started @speedrun to back founders at the earliest stages. A year ago I left to become one.

Today I can share what we’ve been building at LionBio: a nasal spray GLP-1 backed by a $6M pre-seed from SPC.

"How Cleveland Clinic Is Developing AI To Monitor The Brain" https://t.co/l238PaU3VM

Super impressed by @dsacellarius and the Piramidal team. They are using EEG data to diagnose seizures and, longer term, understand a wide range of neurological diseases and health.

[Jessica Verrilli @jess]

The @MeckaAI team’s ambition and execution is top notch.

They’re building the data and implementation layer for robotics, executing across digital data, IRL global operational work, and physical implementation.

We’re grateful to be investors with @Adverbvc. ✨ 🚀

[Josh @joshavata]

Today @MeckaAI is announcing a $60M Series B from @sequoia to accelerate the advent of general purpose robotics

This brings our total funding to over $120M to become the data and deployment layer for physical AI

Hello, Sunday!

Happy Saturday!

Talked to a Stanford prof last night who told me that AI has led to students all acing all the homeworks, never showing up to office hours, and then failing the final exams in-person.

So in response the department is changing the TA's purpose, by eliminating office hours and requiring students meet with TAs 1:1 and walking them through each coding assignment to demonstrate they actually understand what's going on in the code.

Good way to start the day ✨

@mignano @jmoynick @Supertake Such a cool idea!

[Jessica Verrilli @jess]

Finally watched this excellent talk by @bgurley. It’s wild to see the historical precedent of how seriously we’ve investigated other major catastrophes and the lack of root cause understanding of Covid-19. It is incomprehensibly larger than all the others combined and could happen again.

[Bill Gurley @bgurley]

This is a topic that has been weighing heavily on my mind for over five years. I hope we can find a way for eveyone to move forward with “inquiry” as the true-north. For the best interest of the globe.
