Toys to me have always been a form of self-expression!

What started as a childhood obsession w/ Legos has evolved into an adult fascination w/ Bearbricks - a brand that has introduced and popularized toys for a new generation of collectors

Okay maybe AI in toys could actually work.

Stickerbox by @ajustrun lets kids (or adults) instantly print stickers based on what they say.

ngl, this would be killer for parties.

Excited to share our investment in Stickerbox, a new creative tool that lets kids turn their ideas into real stickers using AI in a safe and tactile way. It is one of the most magical physical manifestations of AI I’ve seen and we view it as an early look at what a kids-safe AI frontend can become.

I’ve known @ajustrun since my days as an admittedly former hypebeast and early @grailed user. Grailed was a culturally defining platform for our corner of the internet and reshaped how a whole community discovered and expressed style.

Seeing how Arun built that brand and culture left a strong impression, and we're excited to see him apply that same product intuition and cultural cachet to this next chapter.

EPISODE 3 OF MAKING CENTS WITH @EvanZhao6 IS NOW LIVE

Evan is a scientist by trade and serial founder who sold his last company to ODDITY for $76 million 🤯 🤑

I wanted to have Evan on the pod because a) I like evan and its fun to hangout with him, but also b) because I wanted to get perspective on a few things that our conversation centered around:

- What is it like to sell your business to a public company?
- What is it like to then become a C-Suite executive at said public company.
- How important is IP in getting acquired?

It’s a conversation about science, storytelling, and scaling - with plenty of behind-the-scenes insight from someone who’s done all three.

1/ At @Maveron, we're looking to invest in a returns retailer that builds its own brand — one that attracts & retains customers w/o relying on the independent brands it carries. Read more on our POV below 👇🏾

@EvanZhao6 embodies what we love at Maveron—unapologetically non-normal founders. A scientist building a consumer business isn’t typical, but that’s exactly why we backed him. Sharp thinking, relentless execution.

Worth a listen: https://t.co/91P0jC44pq

p.s. they're hiring @PacagenBrands

Some of these oldschool Mac UIs are so still so effective and delightful to use decades in that I want to kiss the Apple Human Interface design engineer that has invented them.

We didn't spend the day talking to Costco's CEO and CFO about "founder mode." What we did learn was about humble, disciplined growth, and prioritizing curation/quality over choice.

We wrote up everything we learned about Costco's manifesto here, for the benefit of consumer & retail entrepreneurs.

Enjoy! 👇
