✨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. 🧵

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.
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. ✨ 🚀
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

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.

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.
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.

building a high-performance code review product requires understanding the tradeoffs between recall, precision, latency, cost, and the severity of bugs each model catches. we’ve spent over a year building a benchmark, evals and dataset to understand those tradeoffs in order to keep @macroscope on the frontier of performance.
today, we’re making those results public on MacroscopeBench so others can benefit from that work. https://t.co/OZBmouS5Rj
