Founding Partner, Ex Nihilo

[Josef Feldman @josef_feldman]

Ever feel like raising more money just raises more problems? @j_d_noone has raised $1.75B—but with @zoodotdev, he’s doing things differently. No hype-chasing VCs. Just partners who get it.

What makes a launch go viral? @j_d_noone's @zoodotdev V1 tease hit 20M+ views and jumped from 40K to 350K signups—before launch.

Why? Nobody expected AI for hardware design. And Zoo’s hybrid CAD interface blew minds.

What if hardware design didn’t require knowing the right terms? @j_d_noone says @zoodotdev's AI CAD tool handled Japanese prompts with no engineering jargon—accurately. Language-proof design could open creation to everyone.
