Though Sonny Rollins wrote several tunes now regarded as standards, his legacy rests in the singular way in which artistry and abandon coalesced in his playing https://t.co/ZopD9Aet5y via @WSJ

In solidarity with the resignation of the entire 2026 Venice Biennale voting jury, fifty-four individual artists and twenty-two teams affiliated with national pavilions have now withdrawn from consideration for the Visitors’ Lion awards. The Visitors’ Lions were hastily established by the Biennale after the resignation of the jury, who were, of course, responsible for the assignment of the Golden Lion awards.

😳 I went everyday for 2 years regarding my seminal (in my mind in any case) satirical PFP project Cryptomutts. The Mutts are alive and well, but my Discord game long dead. My bandwidth is diminishing by the days—art making, teaching, writing, that’s all I got left xx

According to a survey conducted in March by the US Government Accountability Office, a whopping 85% of all museums in the United States are in need of repair; even more dire, 77% of US museums have at least one structural issue that puts their collections at risk, according to The Art Newspaper.

We just wrapped Draper Summit 2026 at Half Moon Bay. Every year we host this reunion of people who are changing the world.

We heard from some of the top leaders today including:

Baiju Bhatt, Founder of Robinhood → Aetherflux (this man does not slow down)

Rosie Rios, former Treasurer of the United States.

Rob Kaplan, Vice Chairman of Goldman Sachs.

Sal Khan, who is revolutionizing how every human on Earth learns.

The conversations were so futuristic, you would have to hear it from our entrepreneurs to believe it.

HexemBio is rejuvenating all your blood cells.

There were stealth companies regenerating limbs via bioelectricity, replacing brain cells, and rethinking human reproduction entirely via artificial wombs.

Muse Bio launched the world's first topical rejuvenative serum made from menstrual blood stem cells - promoting scarless healing and glowing skin.

Autolane is building the orchestration layer the autonomous world needs to function.

Feltsense is building founder agents that source ideas, build product, and go to market without a human in the loop (they replicated the entire YC batch a few weeks ago).

Venus Aerospace is developing the most efficient rocket engine ever built.

Gemma Robotics sent a robot to autonomously apply professional make up - airbrushed foundation, contour, etc. The results were fantastic.

And we live taped Meet the Drapers Silicon Valley! You'll have to tune in to see the winner…

Another summit in the books, for the books.

The greatest takeaway about what made Draper summit successful:

We all were able to spend time in a beautiful location, learning about frontier tech, getting to know each other deeply, and creating real, meaningful friendships while simply having a lot of fun. At Draper, we know that VC runs on relationships that compound over decades. We are here to build trust with you as you build generational companies.

Thank you to all our LPs, founders, ecosystem members, co-investors, and of course the relentless Draper team for coming and making this all possible.

Let me know in the comments if you should come next year. Hope to see you there.
