Starcloud just became the fastest YC company ever to a $1B valuation after Demo Day. 17 months. Building data centers in orbit.
The hardest possible problem, the fastest possible ascent. This is what we should be building.
Fun fact: 80% of the F500 is HQ'd outside the Bay Area & NYC
Your biggest customer is doing $5B out of Texas and still runs on paper and email
The transformation has barely started. Get on a plane.
Tl:dr version: giving MDs financial bonuses for controlling their patients’ blood pressure paradoxically worsened blood pressure treatment because incentivized doctors were more likely to re-measure elevated BP until “normal” (rather than treat), resulting in many more strokes.
Yes, I can imagine a bipartisan deal to keep Social Security benefits for retired millionaires.
If there’s one thing most Democrats and Republicans still agree on, it’s Total Boomer Luxury Communism.
Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. https://t.co/2zX5bHdhsa

This is an astoundingly rapid change in something so basic. In 15 years the proportion of people who say college is very important has decreased by more than half.
I've never met @SeanFennessey but have been following him long enough to know how much this moment means to him. I love @ringer because people like him put in the work; they geek out. So it's cool to see this moment.

jokes aside, THIS IS WHY WE DO THE THING.
Every incremental piece of progress leading to a generational treatment. RAS(on), PD1s, GLP1s, TNFa, VEGF. These are drugs adding months, years to people's lives, spurring more innovation (yes and more me toos for VC money).
But getting something which meaningfully signals a new treatment paradigm. Not marginally effective parsing the data. No nitpicking. This is it.
holy shit I am personally responsible for about as many people moving to SF this year than the entire city built housing units for
absolute embarrassment
