Underrated press benefit for technical founders - press can typically articulate your positioning better than you can!
For years I said "if Quickbooks and OpenAI and Stripe had a baby" but I just learned that 3 people cannot have a baby, at least in simulation!
So when @jackjaykelly from @Forbes writes "The AI-powered accounting software for startups takes the best of Quickbooks, OpenAI and Stripe" it immediately clicked!
Tis the season! No better way to get in the ๐ holiday spirit ๐ than by throwing a holiday party for rockstar founders!

I finally wrote down my thoughts about Glossy, the book about Glossier (where I used to run comms). I have some pretty strong feelings about how Emily Weiss is portrayed, and even stronger ones about what the lessons are (and arenโt) for women founders. https://t.co/vsrwiIbY3D
My grandma suffered from Alzheimers for 10 yrs, slowly deteriorating before ultimately passing when I was young. So it feels surreal to now be a VC backing breakthrough technologies (shoutout to @AltPepCorp!) that can help catch and prevent Alzheimers in its earliest stages.
Big milestone today- I have officially finished the gallon jug of wholesale hand sanitizer that my mom sent me during the deep dark days of Covid๐ฆ
So excited to purge this germophobe memories by getting dirty camping this weekend ๐๏ธ
I'm personally intrigued to see what comes in 'gen ai for design' space. Since most LLMs are designed to generate the "best" (aka most popular) answer, will all designs revert to the conventional? Or will models be able to come up with truly original / creative concepts?
Whatโs the value and impact of #generativeAI? Companies across countless industries are already experimenting with its applications. Our new research has found that the value at stake is hugeโpotentially $2.6 to $4.4 trillion in #productivity annuallyโก https://t.co/eY2aDqBTdf
@saranormous@NoPriorsPod Vector databases - a true paradigm shift for the AI era or unproven hype? If the former, what is Snowflake's strategy to incorporate or support vectors?
Surprised that this isn't getting more buzz.. @a16z doing less Fintech and Consumer investments but more Crypto?? ๐
Oh yeah, and it's all AI focused now. May the AI gods smile down upon you ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ฎ
Andreessen Horowitz has combined its finance and consumer teams, a sign of how the prolific investor is reacting to the economic downturn. By @KateClarkTweets & @erinkwoo https://t.co/sFboiERj9e
@alexandr_wang We are entering a noisy era indeed ๐ตโ๐ซ It's wild how, in just a few decades, the paradigm for knowledge building has shifted from gathering data where there is little > filtering through volumes of junk data to uncover what is truly relevant.
