Wannabe pop-star full time entrepreneur, building AI to simulate the future, also slightly concerned about it and I occasionally write about interesting stuff.
Early last year I had the privilege of leading @noondesign’s initial round of financing and partnering with two founders looking to tackle one of the most ambitious problems in product design. What started as an investment quickly turned into a much deeper collaboration. I'm excited to share that I joined the Noon team last year to build alongside @bandiaditya , @kushagrasinha7 and the incredible team they’ve assembled.
Product designers today are caught between a canvas and code. Design lives in one place, production code lives in another. Everything in between is translation and that’s where things break.
Noon is the first design tool rebuilt from the ground up that works entirely on your product code, so you can design how it looks and how it works. With AI that works in seconds, not minutes.
We’ve quietly been working with a number of leading designers and are excited to open up access soon. If you’re a designer, or know a designer that wants to get early access, we can’t wait to show you what we’re up to.
Grateful to @chemistry@firstround@ScribbleVC@AforeVC@svangel@soleio@joulee@iansilber@lil_dill@johnnie and the many others who believed in us early.
I was interviewed about my experiences as a Pro Domme & the intersection of masculinity & economy. Find the article here:

A fascinating pattern emerged when we looked across our portfolio.
Many founders were exceptional beyond tech. Top gamers, authors, athletes + more.
Meet @HamishBrock, Founder of @brox_ai & a damn good musician!
We asked: Is there a Music:Startup link?https://t.co/6RQxYYDUE9
Had a wonderful discussion with @IsabelleBiscuit at the @WSJ about the future of market research and what we're up to with digital twins (we call it our" shadow panel") https://t.co/GvKU0bZVg7
Market Researchers! Ever wonder what your peers REALLY think about their job security, the future, and AI?
We're unlocking their priorities and predictions from the #IIEX conference. Here's a sneak peek at one archetype... More to come!

I mean it will just allow more bedroom producers to create music (whether it will be interesting we will have to wait to see) and then at the other end, artists like Taylor Swift etc have teams of producers writing thier music so even if they are replaced by AI it wont change much, I suppose it wont be great for the professional producers and song writers currently working but that is AI I suppose. My one legitimate worry is that it may create a homogenization of music but it very well might do the reverse, we will have to see how music + AI + culture interact
@dbenyamin Interesting, have been rather depressed about music and Ai (i am both a bedroom producer and have an AI company, in an unrelated field), and the impact on the arts has terrified me, but I guess you’re right its unlikely to change the overall dynamics much
@du_ro@WonderVentures Wonderful news (pun very much intended), hands down the best VC in LA, and soon the whole west coat. And more importantly you all look amazing.
Would be curious if the human driver component includes drunk drivers, tired drivers, generally impaired drivers and people who are under 25, as these cohorts I believe cause the majority of accidents…so from a safety perspective I would want to see how Waymo performs when these drivers are excluded???
@tmrohan Maybe a stupid question but does this mean startups will increase or decrease in valuation? I ask because if the stock market is trending up doesn't it mean LPs will want to put more money into stocks and less into venture and therefor VCs will have less cash?
There’s beauty in simplicity. This reminds me of one of my favorite Steve Jobs quotes:
“Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”
