Loved hanging out with some of our Bay Area founders recently at the Giants-Phillies game — go team!

[Ilana Stern @Ilana_Stern]

Congratulations to @kyleroche, @vasinov and the Griptape team on being accepted into the inaugural #AWS Generative AI accelerator! It's a super compelling class of 21 up-and-coming startups building in #GenerativeAI https://t.co/m5oqmQLZiP

[Ilana Stern @Ilana_Stern]

#GenerativeAI will change the way we live + work. To unlock its power in the future of work, enterprises need to be able to securely use LLMs. Pumped to announce our investment in Griptape, an open source app-building framework built for enterprise. https://t.co/Zb7QVS8s9q

How do we think about investing in a company pre-product, pre-revenue? In the case of #Trendsi, it started with @ellazhang516, one of the most tenacious entrepreneurs I've ever had the privilege to work with.

Unicorn-wise, states are not created equal. The US national average: 1 out of 101 VC-backed startups are unicorns. It is much higher in UT (1/61, ~70% above average), CA (1/72, ~40% above). And much lower in PA (1/270), MI (1/476), OH (1/500), IN (1/1667).
