Search was built for humans. Agents aren't human.
They ask dozens of times per task — $5/1K doesn't work. $0.05/1K does. ⚡
That's why https://t.co/LIP8w10y8O exists. Here's @AnnapPatterson discussing TeraGoogle (2006) --> https://t.co/LIP8w10y8O (2026)
In 2014, DoorDash ran on a guy named Steve.
Every dasher shared their location with him on Find My Friends. Order comes in, Steve finds the closest one, texts them. It worked until it didn't.
We sat next to him and turned that manual process into software. Steve went on to build and lead our support org.
I've spent the last year watching the same pattern play out across every industry. Smart people manually holding critical workflows together because their systems haven't kept up. AI helps, but mostly as an assistant - it makes you faster, it doesn't take work off your plate.
That's what we’re building at @conveyAI. Digital teammates that operators train themselves, that run autonomously, and that fully own a process end to end.
Today we're out of stealth.
Grateful to NBC Universal, Samsara, Faire, TelevisaUnivision, Unity and our other customers who bet on us early.
The era of asking your best people to manually run critical business processes is over. The future belongs to the 100x operator.
Excited to share that @CeramicSearch's CEO/Founder @AnnapPatterson will be going on @TBPN at 1:20pm PT today to talk more about @CeramicSearch, designed for AI agents and LLMs. Make sure to tune in to hear how we're reversing the economics of search for the AI era at enterprise scale.
Everyone's talking about AI taking jobs.
How about AI that's actually helping people do their jobs more safely and successfully?
Meet Multitude Insights.
We met Matthew White and Akihiko Izu several years ago as they were building something different — a platform that helps police officers connect the dots between crimes and solve cases faster. This is exactly the kind of AI we believe in at VSC Ventures: not flashy, not hype-driven, but deeply practical technology making a real difference in the field.
@JayKapoorNYC, Maggie Philbin, and I have worked hand in hand with Matt and Aki ever since — helping them sharpen their positioning and build awareness. That collaboration led to national media attention, earning coverage in the Wall Street Journal and Boston Globe, because stories like this deserve to be told.
Today, we're excited that the company has raised its Series A and welcome @JasonrShuman to the 'ride-along' with existing investors Commonweal Ventures and Counterview Capital.
This is what "Dirty Jobs AI" looks like — AI applied to the essential, unglamorous, and critically important work that keeps communities safe. It's not always the sexiest investment thesis, but it's the one we keep coming back to because it just makes sense.
Another day, another case closed:)
Think AI agents are still in the ‘experiment’ stage? It’s time to think again. Check out what @sema4ai is doing to help businesses scale productivity 👇
Can AI agents handle complex enterprise data accurately, at scale, and without human intervention? @sema4ai thinks so.

Watch the video and follow the thread below to see how it works and why it’s a big step for enterprise AI. 👇
From early pilots to commercial deployment, congrats to the team on their launch of 'Kelvin', which helps project developers turn carbon removal from a cost center to a profit driver 💹
DACLab repurposed technology originally intended to capture carbon from power plants and other industrial facilities. It says the approach has been key to lowering costs. https://t.co/GyILNqGUem
A new era of space commercialization is upon us... drop in to @TBPN today to hear from Axiom Space CEO on what it takes to support the next trillion $ economy beyond earth.
Excited to join @TBPN at 12pm PT (3pm ET, 9pm CET) to discuss why now is the time to invest in space and why @Axiom_Space is the next super-unicorn to watch!
I had the honor as CEO of @Axiom_Space to deliver a speech before the historic #Ax4 launch to dignitaries from the US, India, Poland, Hungary, NASA, ESA, and SpaceX. I chose to speak about one word: Significance.

What if chip design didn’t take 3 years & $100M?
Cognichip is using AI to reinvent it. Backed by $33M from Mayfield, Lux, FPV & Candou, their ACI® model slashes dev costs by 75% & design time by 50%.
Hardware can finally move at the speed of AI.

No job is dirtier than sorting trash by hand. Glacier’s AI-powered robots are changing that—boosting recycling profits on the way to building a category-defining company. We're proud to be in the trenches helping founders break through the noise. 📢
Congrats to @VSCVentures portfolio company Glacier on raising their Series A round to bring PhysicalAI to waste management.
As background we invest in companies that help America do Dirty Jobs.
No job is dirtier than manual human sorting of trash.
With Glacier, humans work in concert with robots that use computer vision to auto sort trash into the right place which optimizes resale value of different materials.
Together we are helping Glacier become a category-defining business beyond just advice.
Storytelling is discussed a lot with investors and founders.
There’s two parts.
1. Make your story interesting to the right people AND…
2. Make sure you get your story OUT THERE and SEEN in a noisy environment.
Our comms team is proud to work in the trenches with founders to design and execute strategic communications.
