Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving weekend. Feeling extremely blessed and grateful for family and friends, and for Xu Talent’s clients ($1B+ AUM funds) and supporters.
As we head into the final month of the year, I’m hearing from many who are starting to pick up their heads. Terrific time in the market to explore something new!
I’m currently working with several VC firms primarily Seed through Series B+ on Investor and Partner/GP searches across SF and NYC.
The most common profiles include:
- Founders who have exited or are winding down, and exploring potentially a transition into Venture.
- Technical operators with strong business instincts who enjoy building relationships with founders and the broader ecosystem.
- Current investors (Venture & Growth), or current/former scouts for a VC firm.
If this sounds like you, I’d love to chat (link below).
Today we’re launching Summation – the first Decision-Grade AI platform for leaders.
Execs have dashboards, legacy planning tools, generic copilots… but none are built for the decisions that move billions.
🥳today we launched our platform product, @Shippo for Platforms, as well as our partnership with @Shopify, an early user of Shippo for Platforms. Shipping has become table stakes for platforms to offer to their merchants and we are powering that https://t.co/NsjxqmhPJx
Very happy to see 2 of my favourite co's partner: @shippo launching "Shippo for Platforms" w/ @shopify as the 1st customer for this new product (making it incredibly easy for e-com merchants to meet consumer expectations w/o having to be a shipping expert) https://t.co/sx3szdoFeR
In a world where we are successful every e-commerce merchant will be able to ship at scale. We have been and will be working hard to make that vision reality. 📦 https://t.co/ESuuqkFffM
Seriously folks, if you still have a Negear, Linksys, D-Link, Asus, or worse a router you don't know the name, please help yourself or your family. Upgrade to something like @geteero. We all need to keep our homes safe
When we talk about “hustle,” perhaps what we’re really referring to is one’s level of persistent tolerance and determination to do a lot of frustrating and tedious work that feels immaterial day-by-day but ultimately matters.
Hot Deal alert: We built out a refurbishment process for our 1st gen eeros. They're triaged, updated to the latest sw, and checked for cosmetics. Don't tell anyone...these are the ones I give to family and friends. It's only $65 a unit. https://t.co/da1BJMTxUU
I've said this before, but every home in the US should upgrade their router. You should have a device that updates automatically, has no local management interface that ships with default credentials, and is backed by a company with a dedicated security team. Just use an eero. https://t.co/K4FjUy8gzB
