It is with profound sadness that we share the news of Om Malik’s passing.

It’s difficult to state the impact that @om had on all of our lives at True.

Om was the first Founder we funded when we started True. In our Presidio office, Om discussed his idea for a new type of media company. That idea would later become GigaOm.

Om was a brilliant Founder, an amazing teammate and Partner at True, a prolific writer, a gifted photographer, and a sage and valuable advisor to so many in the technology ecosystem.

Om was brilliant, thoughtful, humorous, profoundly kind, and deeply curious. He was also relentless when he had an idea or story. Om was brave - he never shied away from sharing his views or pushing for the truth.

We were very, very lucky to call Om our Partner and friend at True for these last many years.

For today, we simply encourage you to take a moment to remember this beautiful soul and great thinker who was in our midst. He would ask us to slow down a bit. Om would want us to think deeper, express our love for one another a lot more.

Above all else, Om wanted us all to retain our humanity and care for each other in our brilliant quest to rebuild the world.

We love you Om.

Team True

It's been a little while since I've shared my views on European tech, but this is an important moment - so I wanted to say thank you @Tim and the @FT Tech Exchange for the sit down. A few thoughts on why I think Europe is at the beginning of an Act Two moment. 🧵

Brilliant read on all the ways that Elon is exerting his control over SpaceX in the upcoming IPO by @sjhmorris @GeorgeNHammond @rwmcmorrow. It’s like a corporate governance masterclass in reverse. Investors are lapping it up anyway.

Been itching to write this one for months… Peter Thiel is leading a $140m funding for @_panthalassa - a startup putting AI chips out to sea in giant 85m-tall floating data centres

[Tim Bradshaw @tim]

Panthalassa’s “nodes” bob up and down in the waves to generate electricity to power the GPUs and beam AI workloads via Starlink
