Most AI investing happens downstream of the frontier: a capability emerges, a category gets named, and capital rushes in.
But by the time a category earns a clean box on a market map, the best builders have usually been living in the messy version for months.
Agents. Reasoning. RL environments. World models. AI for Science. Recursive self-improvement.
I call this frontier proximity: the ability to see what is becoming possible before it becomes consensus.
My frontier proximity ladder:
L0 Wrapper: uses today’s models.
L1 Reactor: reacts fast to releases, but roadmap is downstream.
L2 Anticipator: builds for where capabilities are going.
L3 Native: depends on a non-obvious frontier bet.
L4 Shaper: helps move the frontier itself.
The point is not that every company needs to train models.
Apps can have high frontier proximity if they understand what models will make possible next.
Infra can have high frontier proximity if it knows what future agents, multimodal systems, robotics stacks, or scientific workflows will need.
That is why we’re launching MoE Capital.
MoE stands for Mixture of Experts.
The idea is simple: build an AI fund around people closest to the frontier: frontier researchers, technical founders, AI-native builders, and seasoned operators.
We don’t want to be another AI fund with a newsletter-level understanding of the frontier.
We want to build the AI fund closest to the frontier.

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. 🧵
Manus just blessed me AGAIN
They saw how quickly we ran through the first 100 community codes… so they gave me 500 more….
If you missed out on the first round, here’s your chance:
1. Retweet this post
2. Follow
3. DM me “MANUS”
If you got the access code in the first round, reply with what you cooked up so far!
Manus is absolutely next level. I literally maxed out the tokens yesterday.
Ever since graduating college, it's been a personal goal of mine to start writing, and I'm really excited to share a short thought-piece around federated learning.

Recently came across @useintro which is an incredible platform for expert advice but I wonder if it prices out new grads and students seeking mentorships early in their careers?
