Gemini 2.5 Pro has really changed the LLM game.

People are coming up with wild use cases. There's a shift.

@IsabelOakeshott Shocking, but not entirely surprising, sadly! 😡

@Rana_kamran43 I don’t see why these emails are ‘scary’ or ‘brutal’.

CEOs need to make tough decisions, and provide clarity for their organizations. These all look like clear examples of that to me?

@SophyRidgeSky Oh boy! He needs better advisors. “When you’re in a hole, stop digging!”

I have much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving - both personal and professional, but mainly my fantastic family. 💕

I hope you get a moment to reflect on what's most important to you this Holiday and that you all have a wonderful time with your loved ones! 🍁🦃

The pediatrician shortage is getting worse, and the residency match data proves it. Low pay, high debt, and a broken system are driving future doctors away from pediatrics. It’s time for urgent action to save the next generation of care.

The NYPD is using “Barnacles” to combat illegal parking.

They are commercial-grade suction cups that latch onto the glass with 1,000 pounds of force, making forcible removal next to impossible.

In the words of Yoda...

‘Do or do not, there is no try’—and with Week 1 in the books the Founders of the inaugural cohort of The Forge Bootcamp have certainly dove head first into the "do" end of the pool.

From our kickoff on last week, our 5 intrepid founders went all in-
📍Product Market Fit (PMF) Assessment with Emily Giddings that will be a foundational living document for their venture
📍Goal Setting and KPI with Mika Melchanka and James Fong which will be serve as a critical focus point over the next weeks
📍 Introduced to their Mentors, who are accomplished founders and will be with them for the duration of the Bootcamp
📍Office Hour session where the founders shared their overall and weekly goals with each other which allows them to grow, learn and ideate together.

📅 This week- we kick off with our development partner Verticode to start scoping and developing each Venture's MVP

Forge Ahead

⚡️We Are Live⚡️
We believe that all founders, regardless of background or pedigree, should have the opportunity to forge their ideas into impact.

To support this, we are launching out first cohort of The Forge Bootcamp starting October 7th

At VentureForge, we believe in the economic, societal, and wealth creating power of entrepreneurship. It has driven forward the American Dream for over 200 years and, at its core, has demonstrated that great ideas can come from anywhere and anyone. 📷

We also believe in data. The data clearly shows us that not all founders have the access to the hyper critical variables such as early funding, expanded network and support needed to turn their ideas into business impact.

Our mission is to follow the data and enable those Founders who have been underserved by traditional funding and support sources on their journey to success by surrounding them with:
✅ Equity-Free funding
✅ Tailored MVP Development
✅ Dedicated Advisors
✅ Executive Coaches and Founder Wellness
✅ Expanded Network
✅ Education and Resources

⚒️ The Forge is a place where we take the right raw materials and through work and craftsmanship transform it into a more valuable version of itself ⚒️

The public slots for our first cohort are limited and are determined on a rolling basis until close on September 30th.
⚡️ Forward this to Founders you think would benefit
