⚡️ Some news! I’m thrilled that my long-time colleague, co-investor and friend, @aroetter, has joined @MoxxieVentures full-time and we’ve raised an $85M Fund together!

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

Co-sign (also biased)! Go @loganbrown799 and team @SoxtonAI!

[Ashley Mayer @ashleymayer]

Obviously I'm biased as an investor, but nominating @loganbrown799 and @SoxtonAI for @meliarobin's list of "13 legal startups to watch in 2026" was the biggest no-brainer.

More demand from startups than they can handle, and huge ambitions to change the consumption model and cost structure of law for people and businesses that are underserved today. Let's go!!

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

@CristinCulver @ScottHickle @ThroneScience Pure joy. Scott is the Alysa Liu of entrepreneurship. You just feel and celebrate his joy.

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

I couldn’t be prouder of @ScottHickle and the entire @ThroneScience team. Scott is one of the most passionate, authentic founders I’ve ever met, building something that feels completely inevitable. We spend so much of our lives guessing about how we’re doing and what’s happening inside our bodies, while flushing away an incredible source of health data every single day. Smart toilets should be as obvious as wearables. I'm obsessed with this team and excited to see what’s next! Congrats on this important milestone and welcome @BennyG49 and the team @willventures to this journey!

[Scott Hickle - Poop Guy @ScottHickle]

I'm thrilled to share that @ThroneScience has raised $10M to advance our vision of building a smoke detector for colon cancer.

We started this company three years ago, and in that short period of time we built a world-class health tracker that our members often compare to Apple.

That's exactly what we were going for, and we're just getting started.

I am incredibly grateful for the support of our investors, my co-founders, our team, and, most importantly, our members.

In particular, I want to thank @BennyG49 and the team at Will Ventures, @KatieS for being our Day One, Fern Mandelbaum, Warren Shaeffer, Max Mullen, Tara Viswanathan, Justin Driscoll, Justin Mares, and all those whose belief have made this next chapter possible.

My younger brother recently said it best: twenty years ago, it was a crazy idea to sleep in a stranger's home or ride in a stranger's car.

In twenty years, it will be crazy not to have a camera in your toilet.

Throne has the unique opportunity to save a million lives. I cannot imagine a more meaningful way to spend my life than to work in the service of this mission.

@JoeCassandra I literally just did the same thing (took my iron, etc supplements and had coffee) and gasped out loud when I read this. Thank you so much for sharing!

🇺🇸 @mcuban is one of the most consequential entrepreneurs of our generation

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

I’m trying to actually start and run companies that cut the cost of healthcare.

Manufacturing pediatric cancer and other drugs that are in short supply, in dallas.

Talking to every politician, or group of politicians that wants to discuss HC

Trying to explain to CEOs of self insured companies , that the big conglomerates they work with are not only screwing their company over, their ignorance about HC benefits is why HC is so expensive in this country. If they stopped doing business with the conglomerates, prices would drop for more than the 160m employees they cover. They would drop for everyone

All day. Every. Day.

@DennysDiner @JensenHuang @nvidia No notes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

Hey Emil, I worked with @SarahKHeck many years ago when she was a Foreign Service Officer and she has an incredible background serving this country with honor and integrity. We’re lucky to have smart and capable Americans like Sarah helping build the AI systems that will shape our future.

I’m not an investor (sadly), just rooting for American companies and the extraordinary people working to keep the US innovative, competitive and safe.

I also appreciate YOUR service to the country. Thank you for that. But I’m surprised by the hostility toward Sarah and @AnthropicAI. I don’t understand where it’s coming from and how it serves us. 🇺🇸

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

One of the greatest injustices in America is grocery stores being stocked with 47 varieties of dairy free salted caramel cookie unicorn cheesecake ice cream but somehow never having vanilla chocolate chip ice cream. 🍦

[Jensen Huang @JensenHuang]

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

@Sunrun I have emailed our customer service representative and called and no-one has helped. I will DM you. Thank you for the post.

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

I’m a huge believer in energy efficiency and sustainability, but I have to admit: leasing solar through @Sunrun has been one of the most disappointing financial decisions I’ve made. Despite having a home with fantastic sun exposure, we’ve ended up paying significantly more than expected. Customer service has been a dud too.

Curious if others have had a better experience with Sunrun? Were we less lucky?

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

@narendra @loganbrown799 Whoa I should have known!

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

Strong agree. And the Vandy talent we are seeing is 🔥 notably @loganbrown799!

College reputation seems almost impossible to change, but Vanderbilt has done it.

In 2005, Vanderbilt admitted 34% of applicants, and its middle 50% SAT range was 1280–1460. Today, it admits under 5%, with a middle 50% SAT range of 1510–1560.

They are opening a San Francisco campus for 1000 full-time students next year, and Jensen Huang just donated $75M to the campus

They moved from being compared mainly with the likes of Emory and Georgetown to competing directly for students with Northwestern and Duke.

Very smart how they did it, definitely some lessons that apply broadly:

• They recruited aggressively at Northeastern prep schools and top high schools nationwide... the chancellor would visit the schools that sent the most students to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown and Penn (ALWAYS GET ON THE PLANE!)
• Built relationships with influential college counselors, so Vanderbilt would appear on the same recommended lists as the Ivies and Duke
• Specifically decided to attract Jews (the chancellor decided that Jewish students would strengthen the university’s intellectual life) by building out more Jewish life (Hillel center, kosher dining, Jewish studies program)... and it also helped shed the image of a traditional, insular Southern school dominated by white Christian fraternities
• Used generous need-based aid and merit scholarships to win students from more prestigious schools
• Sold a distinctive product: elite academics, SEC sports, a strong social scene and a real campus experience
• Turned Nashville from a perceived drawback into a major recruiting advantage as the city became more attractive

Other universities that I think have done a good job in recent decades are Northeastern and USC. Before that NYU and Duke.

@ScottHickle @ThroneScience We captured this at least (thanks @ericbahn for the inspo)

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

We hosted a family dinner tonight and my 75 year old uncle asked me about @ThroneScience. I felt like I wasn’t doing a good enough job describing it so I FaceTime’d the incredible CEO and co-founder @ScottHickle. He picked up, shared a detailed and inspiring update and within minutes everyone was on their phone buying one. ❤️

[Katie Jacobs Stanton @KatieS]

@ScottHickle @ThroneScience I took one but didn’t post it because I didn’t want my family to get mad at me - they looked silly. lol. Will DM :)
