I met @joshpxyne while he was playing impromptu drums (instrument: the indestructible iconic black & yellow Costco storage tub) in another Stanford student's backyard back in 2020... 2 companies later of working with him he is fully in his groove with @coframe. rock on josh!!

[Josh Payne @joshpxyne]

The internet is dead. We’ve raised $35M total funding led by Khosla and Hanabi to bring it to life.

@coframe is a growth engine for your website/ads/more which tests, personalizes, & learns 24/7.

It’s working. Dropbox increased conversion by 158%. Replit, 410%. Cash App, 60%.

@joshpxyne @coframe let's go @coframe!!

[Josh Payne @joshpxyne]

Excited to announce Agent Mode.

1/ Right now, agents are struggling to use websites on the internet. As a result, personal agents take too long to reply, and don’t get the information they need.

[Coframe @coframe]

We drove 410% conversion lift on @Replit's enterprise funnel, 2x-ing the number of demo requests. All in a matter of months.

"Coframe makes you feel like you have a team of 100 people. There's nothing on the market like it."

Today we unveiled Neo Residency, a new program for startups and high-agency student teams. 🎉

We’re replacing our best-known program, Neo Accelerator, with something even better and more selective. 🧵

this YC co by @noah_yin7 just put out an AI generated launch video as full of historical characters as the FTX super bowl commercial with Larry David. just as good and probably .001% the cost

Windsurf to @cognition_labs = fastest first call to close acquisition -- and now of course @HarryStebbings is fastest with the full story. a great one with @ScottWu46! https://t.co/CdXMprCfPb

Bell Labs' hulking skeleton was my favorite place to explore when visiting family in Holmdel. When people wonder about inevitability of GAMMA long-term dominance, I show them photos I took during the decade+ it sat empty. Hard to imagine the Googleplex as a "metroburb" of course...

@simulacronist i'm so sorry. get well soon, vish.

[Keith Bender @keithbender]

@BenKeig137 😂didn't mean to leave you off the ship

[Keith Bender @keithbender]

Congratulations @masonwang025 @dhruv31415 and Ben -- excited to be part of the journey as you build @tilderesearch!

[Tilde @tilderesearch]

We're thrilled to be launching Tilde.

We're applying interpretability to unlock deep reasoning and control of models, enabling the next generation of human-AI interaction.

By understanding a model's inner mechanisms, we can enhance both its reliability and performance—going beyond what's possible with traditional techniques like fine-tuning alone.

Check out what Tilde can do.

Awesome hearing @dkhos share his journey to becoming Uber’s CEO.

Huge thanks to @pearvc and @keithbender for hosting such an insightful conversation 🙌

Now I’ll be on the lookout for a masked Uber driver 👀

Congrats to all the founders of PearX Summer 2024. This was an amazing demo day! @pearvc

You did it! 🙌

[Keith Bender @keithbender]

Thanks for joining! We think that Reid (left) could be the next @patrickc (right) 🙃 ... since you joined for both demo days, hope you would say you agree!

[Moxxie Ventures @MoxxieVentures]

☀️ SF is hot with Demo Days (and outdoor temps). Thank you for having us today @pearvc and @joinef! So many impressive founders building important products. Also, we learned the importance of having a good walk on song for pitches. 🎶

🍐 Pear Demo Day giving early YC Demo Day vibes - SF at its best

@MorgLiv also gets confusing when @rippling is ripping

[Keith Bender @keithbender]

"ripping" is in. "crushing it" is out.

that happened fast!

when bragging about your portfolio companies, it's crucial to get the jargon du jour right

(don't even try with "killing it" or "up and to the right")
