INTRODUCING GUNDO GRANTS

Every summer, hundreds of the sharpest students in the country land deep tech internships in Los Angeles. They show up ready to build things that matter. Then they discover LA rent on an intern salary is its own engineering challenge.

We think that's a problem worth fixing.

Gundo Grants are $5,000 housing stipends for 10 of the top deep tech interns spending this summer in LA. El Segundo has quietly become the center of gravity for hard tech in America, and the interns showing up this summer will be the most important people in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, robotics, energy, and beyond in 10 years.

If you're interning at a deep tech company this summer, building something real, and wondering how you'll make the numbers work in LA, then a Gundo Grant is for you!

10 grants. $5K each. Exclusive events. 1 incredible cohort.

Applications are due by May 8th → https://t.co/ZjYlhtlGKy

[1] for the last two years, the conversation has been about individual productivity. give everyone Copilot. ship faster. write more code. but the real shift is much bigger than that.

it's not about making people faster. it's about redesigning the entire org around agentic systems — and the companies doing this are starting to look radically different. 🧵

Reporters call him contemptuous. His teammates call him the most genuine superstar ever.

From $8k tips for housekeepers to gifting a teammate the bracelet off his wrist, here is the side of Russell Westbrook that he hides from fans and media:

When you think back to 2005 after the lockout and the pressure on 87 (and 8) to help reset the NHL, Sidney Crosby has blown away expectations which seemed unrealistic to begin with. And he’s been a perfect ambassador for the game on and off the ice. Jean Béliveau-like.

@rrhoover I do!

10 years they were signing nobodies like Benteke and Clyne and now they got Isak and Wirtz in the same window. Insane how Klopp revived this club.

At some point the meaning of ‘driving’ and ‘self-driving’ will invert.

AI is the best teacher for the self-taught.

Special founder building a special company. Super pumped to have backed the brilliant @tfeldmann!

[Ted Feldmann @tfeldmann]

The diamond drill rig for mineral exploration was first tested in Minnesota in 1890 and hasn't seen a fundamental innovation since 1953.

We @durinmining built a remotely operable drill rig in 4 months. Our next version will be autonomous.

Testing begins in Nevada next week.

McDavid scoring the golden goal 15 years after Crosby did is something out of a movie.

[Jigney @Jigneyp]

@tfeldmann GOAT!

[Jigney @Jigneyp]

@rmcentush This was really well-written Ryan!

Twitter Blue users should be allowed to get rid of this idiotic “for you”page and only be shown tweets/retweets from accounts they follow in chronological order.

[Jigney @Jigneyp]

Excited to back the brilliant @tfeldmann building what will be one of the most important companies of the next decade!
