"Saying you aren't an AI maximalist will get you kicked out of the room."
@sacca came to this year's #UpfrontSummit with one ask: can we start being honest?
AI will cure diseases. It will also eliminate jobs for people who did everything right.
Both things are true. Watch the full session: https://t.co/Wio0y1vhba
Last week at #UpfrontSummit, had a great discussion with Clay Bavor at @SierraPlatform, @lsturdy1 at @CapitalG, and @shiringhaffary at @business talking about the next era of AI agents.
This moment in time feels a lot like early mobile.
Here's what I mean →
The annual #UpfrontSummit brings together a great group of investors, entrepreneurs and other business leaders to discuss the future of tech innovation.
We were proud to be a Diamond Sponsor this year and to host the summit’s closing party.

Last week, ARK CEO/CIO @CathieDWood took the stage at @upfrontvc's #UpfrontSummit for a conversation with @coatuemgmt's co-founder Thomas Laffont on market cycles, AI, and the future of innovation investing.
From “a wall of worry” to one of the most powerful AI cycles in history, Cathie emphasized why long-term thinking matters, especially now.
Touching on public vs. private markets, the future of IPOs, and why retail investors deserve access to innovation, her message was clear: INNOVATION WINS.
I asked @BrendanFoody from @mercor_ai a simple question on stage at #UpfrontSummit: why hasn't enterprise AI had its ChatGPT moment yet? His answer: the data doesn't exist yet. And humans have to create it.
The internet trained models to search. GitHub trained them to code. But no one has written down how a consultant, lawyer, or banker actually thinks. That context lives in people's heads, and unlocking it is the defining challenge of the AI era.
Brendan's bet: the future of work is humans training agents to handle the redundant stuff, so they can focus on the bigger unsolved problems: "There's no shortage of problems we need to solve. We need to cure cancer, solve climate change, go to Mars."
And, according to Brendan, it will mean people and computers working together to get there. "The irony is that the future of AI is actually very human."
I'll share the video of the full conversation when it's up. Thanks to @msuster and the @UpfrontVC team for including us in such a fantastic event.
And that's a wrap on this year's #UpfrontSummit! Thank you to all of our speakers, attendees, sponsors, and everyone who showed up to make this another memorable event.
Check out our recap blog below - to probably no one's surprise, artificial intelligence was top of mind and a key theme throughout both days
Each year the #UpfrontSummit brings together over 1,000 investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders to showcase the best of innovation, technology and creativity. This year we were proud to see some of our founders grace the stage to share what they've learned on their journeys:
- @JamieSiminoff, founder of @ring, reflected on grit, near-death moments, selling to Amazon, and why AI has made Ring feel like a startup again.
– @hametwatt , founder of Feno, joined the conversation on building enduring companies in moments of technological shift.
– And @GarrettLord, founder of @joinHandshake, shared his 12-year building journey, giving a shoutout to True partner @tonidotorg as first to believe in him when he was still sleeping in college parking lots trying to close deals.
These are the stories that matter: conviction, resilience, reinvention.
Proud to back founders building through cycles — and building for the long term.

Me in a room of AI maximalists #upfrontsummit
Such an inspiration to see @VanJones68 speak about speaking up for communities that are picked on.
For the Jewish community he has been a hero. Before that he spoke up for gay communities, Muslims and others in the past.
Sharing wisdom on speaking up and how.

.@baseten founder @tuhinsri “one thing that scares me is that the debt guys are really excited (about ai companies). when the debt guys get excited, that usually means something bad is about to happen.” #upfrontsummit
