Congratulations to @CTurlica and the entire @maintainx team on their acquisition by @autodesk.
JEDI was fortunate to back MaintainX both directly and through @jake_zeller Powerset 3.0 Fund, after the opportunity was introduced by our friends at Amity Ventures, @CJ_Reim and Patrick Yang. A reminder that great outcomes in VC are often built on trusted relationships and long-term partnerships.
A fantastic outcome for everyone involved. Exceptional founders build exceptional companies. Proud to have been part of the journey.
Engineering software maker #Autodesk has agreed to buy #MaintainX, a firm focused on maintenance tools

Proud Powerset backer since day one & long-time supporter of @PowersetRes & @jake_zeller.
Very impressed by their new open-source GitHub data layer: 400k+ active repos with contributors, activity, stars & metadata. Query via MCP/AI or DuckDB SQL for top talent by skills, location, real contributions and no credentials needed. Game changer for founders.

The best recruiting signal is often sitting in public GitHub data.
Today, we’re open sourcing the data layer we use to help founders recruit exceptional engineers.

يصادف اليوم ذكرى وفاة رجل الأعمال والمستكشف العلمي محمد عبدالرحمن الشارخ عن عمر ناهز 82 عام.
يعتبر الراحل مؤسس شركة صخر لبرامج الحاسوب عام 1982 وانتشر آنذاك أول جهاز كمبيوتر باسم صخر.
وينسب إليه الفضل في إدخال اللغة العربية إلى الحواسيب لأول مرة في التا��يخ.
حصل على 3 براءات اختراع من الولايات المتحدة وقام بتطوير برنامج القرآن الكريم وكتب الحديث للحاسوب عام 1985.
وفي عام 2019 طرح معجم معاصر للغة العربية على الانترنت بشكل مجاني ويحتوي على 125 ألف معنى وتركيب.
Fahad AlSharekh of JEDI Fund & @KamcoInvest says GCC’s edge isn’t mimicking Silicon Valley — it’s owning stakes in AI giants like @OpenAI & backing global scale.

• Microsoft leads Big Tech in repo creation, contrary to narrative the company is closed
• a16z captured nearly as much OSS value as all other early-stage VCs combined
