Are you looking for a role at an early-stage startup???

Our portfolio companies have 336 open roles right now.

A few that caught my eye:

- Head of Capital Markets at @general_compute
- EVP, Communications at @_panthalassa
- Technical Recruiter at @reflectorbital
- Electrical Engineer at @ExowattEnergy
- Brand Design Lead at @_panthalassa
- Senior Associate, Strategy at @_panthalassa
- AI Platform Architect at @AaloAtomics
- Ground Software Engineer at @ExowattEnergy

I get asked all the time: "Who in your portfolio is hiring?"

And until now, I never had a great answer. Usually I’d send someone a list of companies or links to 10 different career pages.

So I used @Lovable to build something I’ve wanted for months: one centralized careers page for the Two Roads Capital portfolio.

It automatically pulls open roles across our companies into one place, filterable by company, function, location, and work type (and syncs automatically every 15 minutes as new roles go live).

If you're looking for your next role, link is in the comments.

1 token ≈ ¾ of a word. The word "economics" is two tokens ("econom" + "ics")

solana tokenized equities went from $25m to $1.2b in 12 months. 47x. faster than defi summer 2020. 96% market share in tokenized stocks across xstocks, sunrise, and backpack. ethereum has 6x more total RWA TVL but only $380m in tokenized equities. solana owns 76% of that vertical. spacex named solana in their S-1 filing for employee equity distribution. first s&p 500 caliber company to reference a specific smart contract platform in regulatory docs. the $100t global equity market is picking its settlement layer and the early data is not ambiguous

Everyone can use @elonmusk's "Magic Wand Number" and "Idiot Index"

They're universal ideas, helpful in any industry.

The future isn't AI.
The future is what AI does to human behavior.

I've been thinking about three modes:

The Immersive - Living inside systems designed by others.

The Intentional- Choosing boundaries and protecting what matters.

The Strategic- Using technology as leverage.

Most people on X would think this is a hierarchy.

BUT I'm not sure...

Some of the happiest people I know are far more intentional than strategic.

But one thing feels true:

If you don't consciously choose your mode, someone else will.

@dara_venture mudmap instead? Still need a direction to trudge

The web was built for human eyes. But the front door is changing. LLMs and agents are becoming how we find information , not search, not 10 blue links.

So what should we actually be publishing?

Not SEO articles.

Structured, machine-readable sources of truth that agents can query and trust. (trust is key!)

I've been calling it the Knowledge Oracle model. (workshopping the name)

Most publishers are still playing the 2019 game.
