[Jared Friedman @snowmaker]

Parahelp is one of the top vertical AI companies to come out of YC.

They are automating support for AI-native companies like Perplexity, Replit, & ElevenLabs.

Did a deep dive with the founders on how real agentic systems are built and their recent Series A with @jaltma.

[Lovable @Lovable]

Building products takes too long. We started Lovable to fix this.

Today, we're officially launching the world’s first AI Full Stack Engineer

Lovable reliably replicates the capabilities of a full stack engineer and handles everything from design to database operations by integrating with Supabase.

So what’s new exactly? 🧵

Why would we invest in a platform for NFT trading during a crypto winter? 🤯

Glad you asked.

We can't unsee the glimpse that the web3 hype offered into NFT use cases for investing in culture.
@ownd_xyz is building 🌁 to the future and we're blown away:

Thanks to all of the climate/crypto founders and investors for great conversations along the way!

Some more holiday reading ;) 🎄📖

I have spent (almost) the last year getting to the bottom of the intersection between crypto and carbon markets - the Regenerative Finance movement. Here are my thoughts: https://t.co/JsEk2eaRjA

[casper 👻 @CasperBjarnason]

Eventually, good and bad VC fund performance will surface. A lot of VC funds will cease to exist (probably a greater portion of 1st and 2nd time funds) due to the unfortunate reality of investing into the long tail of mediocrity. Let’s see what happens.

[casper 👻 @CasperBjarnason]

The next few years will be hella confusing for VCs and startups alike largely driven by 1. High-interest rate environment, 2. VC dry powder being at an all-time high, and 3. The Inertia from the low-interest rate hype cycle that has existed in VC over the last few years.

[casper 👻 @CasperBjarnason]

My bet is that in the short to medium time horizon (difficult to know exactly when as the feedback cycles are so long in VC) there will be an exodus of VC funds and the ecosystem will eventually revert to equilibrium.
