Congrats to @alumniventures for launching a Women's Fund to invest in female founders! Agree with your thesis.

In supporting and advising many female founders, they are often overlooked and underfunded. We need more VC firms to commit to female-led startups.

[Alumni Ventures @alumniventures]

Why the Women’s Fund? Why now?

Female-founded startups tend to be more capital efficient, generate more revenue per dollar raised, and reach liquidity faster — often at lower entry valuations.

Capital efficiency. Faster exits. Attractive pricing.

That’s the thesis.

Congrats, @suno team! Great to see you all grow and https://t.co/h1fwNd9Bck Boston! #AI #Music

[Lightspeed @lightspeedvp]

We’re tripling down on our investment in @suno.

After leading Suno’s Series B in 2024, we're proud to invest again in their $400M Series D, which brings the company’s post-money valuation to $5.4B.

Suno is a company that allows anyone, regardless of skill level, to create music. The AI platform was built to increase access to music creation. Now, videos using songs made with Suno are going viral.

AI has the potential to make a major impact on accessibility to the arts. Suno is a great example of this, offering users a platform to express themselves through music.

Congratulations to the Suno team on their growth! We believe the platform has big potential, and are looking forward to seeing how Suno will continue to progress.

So @KFCBarstool seemed genuinely confused as to how we were able to get the Chirayu Rana exclusive, so I wrote him a personal message.

Pasting here:

Hey Kevin, reporter here. You seem kind of surprised by our newsroom’s ability to do this kind of reporting, so let me educate you. We’ve broken serious stories before (Sunny Naqvi, Mahendra Patel, Sonny Baradia.) I’ve personally been an award-winning reporter for over a decade, and was also one of the youngest editors at Scientific American. And print isn’t my only medium. I ran podcasts and have awards for original documentary, too. Before that, I was at Mashable, where my original reporting on revenge porn helped convict a guy. I’m a Columbia alum.

Oh and my editor, the founder? Valedictorian at Stuyvesant. Baker scholar at Harvard Business School. Double Econ and South Asian studies magna cum laude at Yale.
So yeah, how did two brown women beat the entire media establishment?

Women of color, btw, statistically made up about 5% of legacy media. Do you know how exceptional we have to be to even make it?

Very true. There are many experienced professionals in my AI groups and retired people who.I've met that have great AI literacy.

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

I believe a 60 year old who masters AI tools will outperform a 25 year old who refuses to touch it. Age is not the variable. Willingness is.

[Moha Shah @globalmoha]

Great to see a rising American win R1 at @rolandgarros!
