As someone that grew up on food stamps - this company is near and dear to me. 1 in 8 Americans (40M people) receive SNAP benefits per month. Most are under 18 years old or over 60. It has traditionally been very hard to check EBT balances, know which grocery stores accept SNAP and how to leverage the benefits. Forage brought SNAP online, enables people to buy via Doordash, Gopuff (and more) and launched a free consumer app last year to help struggling Americans manage their benefits easily. Grateful to be an early investor and to watch @OfekLavian build a wonderful business!

Longevity wasn't really a focus for me until I turned 30 and now I'm all in on how to improve sleep, peptides, etc. Sat down with @harrygestetner1 to learn more about sleep. Turns out that the number one variable that impacts sleep quality is body temperature. Listen in on how he is optimizing for this with @orionsleep:

Meet our latest investment - General Context is out of stealth and on the run🚨

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

Model progress is no longer constrained by architecture, but by access to high-quality, human-generated data. Scraped internet data is finite, low-signal and increasingly synthetic. Kled AI pays real people to upload authentic, real world content task by task in their mobile app.

We are super excited to back @avipat_
and @useKled as they build a massive data marketplace. If you are in need of a great data partner, reach out! More from us here (we were not investors when we filmed):

Welcome to the team Rama!

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

The world needs more hardware. More satellites, medical devices, robots, etc. The electronic component supply chain is a mess and can't currently sustain the demand across categories. We are leading a $3M seed in Rama who is solving several supply chain challenges for distributors. More from me and the team:

Welcome to the Nyne AI team!

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

Thrilled to be leading Nyne AIs $5.3M seed round with @southpkcommons. If AI agents are the future, they need to understand who we are across our entire digital footprint. More from me and the team on this massive opportunity:

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

Nearly impossible to launch out of stealth or announce your latest fundraise in any reasonable amount of time with any relevant tech news outlet. Huge issue we have for our own companies. I want to open up our podcast studio and podcast as an outlet for folks with news they want to share. Have a huge following across channels. If you have a big announcement, let me know and come swing by to chat about it. Our team will cover it and we can move within the week. PR as a service...

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

Backed a greeting card company last year and it is crushing. The current market is over $20B and 2/3 of consumers prefer a physical card. Use Escargot and send cards to everyone around a special occasion instantly. They will love it!

More on the round from me and the team:

Hear the latest from our portfolio company Stell Engineering!

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

Sat down with Malory Mclemore (CEO/cofounder) at Stell Engineering to hear the latest on how they closed $8M in government contracts over the past 60 days and why she believes that developer tools for hardware engineering is their $10B+ opportunity.

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

Chatting nuclear and how Valar Atomics will change the world with @isaiah_p_taylor . 7 months preggo, baby girl sitting in on the cutting edge. Lucky!

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

Actively looking to make an investment on the construction material sourcing and/or financing front. Tons of opportunity, super complex. Rebates are interesting play, cobranded card, etc. Let me know if you’re building something interesting here.

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

Led the pre-seed last year in Aravolta. @Marg_Groisman and Jack are exceptional and the best team to be building the next generation of data center management and operations infrastructure.

Massive tailwinds for energy and data center companies and both markets are growing exponentially. Need both to power the future of AI.
