If they aren’t your investors, what are you doing

[Surabhi Todi @SurbhiTodi]

After years of investing in founders before the rest of the world knew their names, I'm excited to officially launch Mission Street Capital.

We started with a simple observation: some of the most extraordinary founders are recognizable long before their companies are.

We’re fortunate to have the support of an incredible group of founders, operators, researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, and investors from leading venture firms.

We’ve built our investment approach around getting to know people deeply, understanding how they think, what drives them, and what they build when no one is watching.

Today, we’ve backed 12 companies, including Smallest, Aside, Bild AI, and HydraDB.

We’re building Mission Street Capital to be the first believers in exceptional founders, often before there’s a pitch deck, a product, or a company.

Thank you to Ben Bergman and Business Insider for telling our story.

We’re just getting started.

Personal update: today we’re launching Mission Street Capital.

@SurbhiTodi and I met as housemates at Mission Control, the oldest hacker house in SF, where we lived, breathed, and cooked with the best founders well before anyone knew them.

As hacker houses rise in popularity, they’re becoming talent clusters for exceptional hackers to meet and work together.

Our fund’s thesis is in identifying brilliant oddball builders emerging out of these talent clusters. Builders recognize other builders.

Our fund is backed by hacker house alumni, technical leaders from OpenAI and Anthropic, and GPs, partners, and emerging managers at the most iconic funds (a16z, CRV, Emergence, Uncork).

Thank you to our LPs including @AriX @thedanigrant @KevinUnkrich @tanzealous @ashvinair @mgrczyk @nikhilthota @SoheilK @jamdac @caitlinbolnick1 @anamitra @DOitChoco @v_maini @aaronligon @crapshoot101 @PachexMix

@gauravsbuilding Same question :P

[Jayanth Putta @jayanthputt]

If you aren’t using Aurora what are you even doing

[Mehul Nath Jindal @mehuljindal18]

Introducing Aurora - the Search Engine for IRL

Have you ever had to go shop-to-shop, or ask your friends and family, or spent hours browsing online for weeks, to find out - which business has what you want?

Could be anything from a renting an Apartment, to a Doctor's appointment? Maybe just your favorite shoe in your size at a store nearby?

Now - you can just Ask @aurorax_ai , and it will tell you who has it!

[Jayanth Putta @jayanthputt]

@mehuljindal18 @GaddipatiHarsha @aurorax_ai @_shyam_king_ I’m one of those weekly active users! Love what you guys are building, it’s so useful

Agents with real tools can do things you never intended. VAIL Agent Assurance for @NousResearch Hermes scans any Hermes agent, identifies risky behaviors, then guides Hermes through fixing the agent.

One Desktop panel covers every profile: "hermes plugins install vail-assurance-panel"

[Jayanth Putta @jayanthputt]

my friend fell sick and I figured I’d make them some fresh, homemade steamed idly. But I don’t have an idly maker

I did ask @aurorax_ai to find me one and it ended up getting me what i needed! Much appreciated, I’m sold

A perfect answer now costs nothing and proves nothing.

So what is a university for?

We're building the first AI-native university. A school of one.
