@micsolana @johncoogan this is so on brand, well done. so fun

[Khosla Ventures @khoslaventures]

A landmark day for KV: @vkhosla named #1 on the @Forbes Midas List, 25 years after topping the inaugural edition. First at the birth of the internet. Now at AI’s defining moment. This year, he’s recognized for the first institutional check into @OpenAI – when others saw a not-for-profit research lab with no product and no revenue, Vinod saw the start of the most transformative technology shift in history.

Congrats to managing partners @rabois and @SStrohband, recognized for their early bets on @tryramp and @DoorDash, and @RocketLab and @gitlab 🎉

At KV, we back founders bold enough to make the impossible possible. This recognition belongs to the entrepreneurs who see the future before it exists.

@geoffreywoo i think it’s easy for founders to meander their way into reasonable answers . “oh once more capable models come we will be more agentic / accrue more value” or “we will move from copilot to autopilot”.

reality is much harsher as new entrants come in

AI for every worker

[Rohan Chopra @rohanbchopra]

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.

1/ Today is the last day to preorder my book Mobilize: How the Reboot the American Industrial Base and Stop World War III.

Mobilize tells the story of American defense innovation that won the 20th century. It shows how bureaucracy broke the Pentagon—and how a Defense Reformation led by heretical heroes is bringing speed, mass, and deterrence back to our military.

This book couldn’t be timelier. The mission couldn’t be more urgent.

Join the ranks of the heretical heroes. It’s time to mobilize.

@JayRughani very little about health outcomes are indisputable and attributable historically .

but that shouldn’t stop us from pushing to outcomes based payments

[Hari Arul @hari_arul]

we at @khoslaventures have been investing in this thesis since 2023-24. just like @vkhosla invested in OpenAI in 2018
