I want to share a new project Josh and I are working on.
It's called Forge Ventures, and we're backing smart people who want to build with AI.
You do not need a business yet. You do not need a product. You do not need revenue.
If you have an idea, a problem you want to solve, or the drive to start building, this is for you.
We invest $15K in you over 6 to 12 months for AI subscriptions, API credits, and compute. You also get access to the best AI tools, monthly check-ins, and support as you build.
I'm in these tools every day, and I know how much faster people can move when they have the right stack behind them.
You build something — we share in the upside.
If you've been waiting for a reason to start, apply.

Start simple: Launch an AI challenge like "Share your best AI productivity hack." Watch patterns emerge, identify champions, and scale success. See how: https://t.co/anhqQeh4RP
Google CEO Sundar Pichai: “We were able to perform a computation in 5 minutes that would have taken one of the world's fastest supercomputers over 10 septillion years.”
Google Chief Scientist, Jeff Dean: "The further trained model internally is incredibly useful, like Sundar I think has said that 25 percent of the characters that we're checking into our code base these days are generated by our AI based coding models."
Noam Shazeer, co-lead on Google's Gemini, on what we might see by 2030: "What do the AI systems look like? Well, maybe it's some sort of personal assistant-like thing that is in your glasses and can see everything around you..."
Jack Dorsey: "These tools are going to get so good that you won't be able to tell, and we will truly feel like we're in a simulation because it looks like and we perceive that anything literally can happen…because these tools are so realistic and feel so authentic."
Ben Goertzel: "DeepSeek is just one of many, many interesting moments like this that we're going to see as the last years before the Singularity unfolds."
Sam Altman: "We know how to improve these models so, so much. And there's not an obvious roadblock in front of us." He believes the progress from 2025 to 2027 will surpass what we saw from 2023 to 2025.
Eric Schmidt: "I think we'll have a super mathematician in one year. The path to AGI is you have these agents, and then you have these math and programming things, and then you start building AI scientists."
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "My guess is that we can make 100 years of progress in areas like biology in five or 10 years if we really get this AI stuff right."
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella: "Knowledge workers will use Copilot to do our work, and we will create a swarm of agents to help us with our work and drive the productivity of our organization."
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis: "We will have AI agents that everyday consumers can use available later this year. The enabling capabilities, like a world model that can accurately model physics, are already present in our video model, Veo 2."
