Our event with @UseCorgi got picked up by @sfstandard!

Very cool to see founders taking pride in what they're building and walking the runway in their best merch

[The San Francisco Standard @sfstandard]

In an alley outside SF's Corgi Cafe, a 24-hour coffee shop operated by an AI insurance startup, around 50 people lined up Thursday evening to admire the latest tech company swag. Here's a taste of what that entailed.

@cauvee Ayyy thank you man!

[Raisi @raisi_ai]

What a turnout!

Huge thank you to all the founders and investors who came out yesterday to the Raisi x @FidelityPrivate breakfast event.

Boston is absolutely loaded with talented entrepreneurs building great companies, and it's always refreshing to get everyone in the same room and have real conversations.

A special thank you to our partner and friend Kristen Craft from Fidelity Private Shares for helping Robert Harary and team bring this event together.

Looking forward to the next one!

🏙️ TECH WEEK by a16z NY Tech Week is always a good reality check.

You can spend months on Zoom and convince yourself you know what's happening in venture.

Then you spend a few days in rooms with founders, VCs, family offices, operators, LPs, and institutional investors and realize the market has already moved again.

We believe private capital markets need better infrastructure. Better ways for founders, funds, investment banks, and investors to discover opportunities, build relationships, and move capital more efficiently.

Tonight we're excited to bring together another incredible group of founders, investors, operators, and builders:

Joining us:

→ @brookeleblanc LeBlanc — Head of Community at @UseCorgi ($2.6B valuation)
→ Jeff Frommer — CEO of OWM (Creator Ownership) and former co-founder of MALKA Media
→ Linda Marmora — Managing Partner at a global family office
→ Kevin Mergruen — Managing Director at Bright Data

Most importantly, if you're attending tonight, come say hello to the Raisi Team!

@RobertHarary, @holdbru, @dankrieg , Caroline Fichthorn, Bryan Yankton, Felicia Fox, and Michael Edwards 🤝

Your AI credits are about to become A LOT more expensive

Once OpenAI goes public - they're going to be under pressure to become profitable

Subsidizing the cost of AI credits will become unacceptable to public market investors and the cost will be pushed down to consumers
