Today, we’re launching Reve 2.0, the best 4K image model in the world.

We invented a new way to generate and edit any image using precise layouts. For the first time, it’s possible to create images you can touch.

The most difficult thing I’ve done was build and eventually sell Intros AI. I was psyched that @BusinessInsider published a mini-profile on my past eight years, starting when I was a college freshman. While the title is very “hustle culture” and not a direct quote (I didn’t have a say in how the story would be framed), the article itself captures much more of the nuance.

The “college dropout” story gets clicks, but I went back to school after leaving the first time. Starting a company sounds difficult, but it was initially a side project I worked on for 18 months. Sacrifice sounds intense, but we’re all constantly making tradeoffs.

One of the core messages I was hoping the story would communicate was how I decided what problem to work on (and why even start a company).

The first thing I thought through was my values.

We all have values. Some values relate to how we move through the world (e.g., with diligence, creativity) and others are more about what we want the world to be like (e.g., safer, more connected).

I knew making the world “more connected” was important to me. From hosting concerts, to brunches and side projects, connection was a recurring theme.

The next step was thinking through the “mediums” or types of things I was good at and enjoyed.

I knew making software was a potential medium for me, as were events and writing.

Finally, there was the question of reach: how spending my time led to either breadth or depth of impact. Events felt limited in my ability to connect a lot of folks (breadth) and writing felt limited in creating meaningful connection (depth).

Building software could enable both breadth of reach, and a similar level of depth as events (as long as the software enabled direct connection).

While the core “goal” was a more connected world, the “medium” ended up being creating software, which eventually took the form of a company.

The company went on to facilitate over one million connections across all types of communities for enterprises like Squarespace to memberships and universities.

All that said, I hope this nudges someone to start a side project that moves the world a little closer to how they think it should be.

Your website should build itself. It should adapt to your visitors and competition in real time.

Introducing Flint: autonomous websites.

We’re already powering pages for @Cognition and @Modal. Today we announce our $5M seed from @Accel and break out of stealth. More below.

I illustrated and edited @GalorOded’s book “The Journey of Humanity,” which just came out this spring! Not all illustrations made it into the final manuscript, but I’m proud to be part of Oded’s formidable project to uncover the origins of inequality… one diagram at a time.

1/ On How Short Life Is

A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful.

Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?"

It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...

gm! I'm now working full-time on crypto @ModernTreasury. We currently serve incredible crypto customers like @BlockFi, @ftx_us_derivs, and @bitFlyer. But we want to go further.

If you're moving/holding crypto as part of your business, I'd very much like to chat. (DMs open)
