@Jacob@gabosgab@BigBoxVR We are so lucky to have had you as an investor, @Jacob! Thank you for believing in @BigBoxVR to lead the round. And then providing insights + support to help us execute our vision. You are the best. 😎
A week into @GPGPTai, the feature people reach for most isn't the one that agrees with them.
It's the one that argues the other side of their own deal — and changes what they see.
Turns out building something that pushes back on you is the whole point.
@DavidSolomon's right that AI won't just delete jobs — at @GoldmanSachs it frees them to hire more people where human talent is the advantage. It's a reshuffling to a different part of the house. From where I'm sitting building @GPGPTai, that's the whole game: AI eats the task, not the human.

We built an AI that thinks like a GP. This morning it got overwhelmed like one too — slow responses, some that never came. Servers back up now. Thanks for the stress test. 😅
20 years in Silicon Valley as a builder and an investor, and the questions never change: how to pick, how to make the call when the data points three directions and you still have to decide.
Today I'm launching what I built for exactly that. GPGPT.
Founding members have been running it on real deals while we built it. The feedback that stuck wasn't "it's fast."
It was "It pushed back on me, and it was right." That's the whole product in one line.
Congrats to @semil & the @haystackvc team on their Fund 8 and more. When I started @exitround eons ago, Semil wrote my first check.
You never forget the first person who steps up to back you, especially when they do it as a singular voice, not needing outside validation or a waiting for a lead.
That kind of courage and conviction is blatantly disappearing from VC today.
Too many forget that entrepreneurship and VC is about blazing new trails, not following $trillion dollar highways.
Here’s to the Day 1 founders.
[brief update]
we have a new set of funds for @haystackvc
announcing haystack 8 plus more, but it's really about my teammates @aashaysanghvi_ & @DivyaDhulipala
thank you to all of our frequent ecosystem co-conspirators, our LPs, our co-investors, our founders. i'm very grateful 🙏 and this is the most fun role in the world!

The @openclaw + Mac mini explosion proves power users (prosumers) want always-on agents with access to their data. Not their data locked in a siloed app cloud.
We need a Personal AWS. A private backend where our files, context, and compute are portable across any agent we spin up.
The stack is upside down today.
