Today, we wrapped up three incredible days of our #PNPTCSiliconValley Summit.

I am truly humbled and grateful to everyone who joined us. Over 4,000 innovators and an extraordinary amount of #AI innovation made this Summit one of our most impactful yet.

It was my first time wearing a suit at @PlugandPlayTC so that I could match with @TimDraper. We shared stories from our early investment days, including our learning experience w/ @Airbnb, the boundaries he pushed with @Bitcoin, & the incredible rise of #AI.

Thank you to my dear friend @davidko, CEO of @calm, for joining us at our Health Expo.

Calm has also had a personal impact on me I’ve used on the app daily & it’s become an important habit that keeps me grounded & motivated. Thank you for sharing your story.

We invested in @einrideofficial back in 2019 when they were still early in their journey. Robert Falck had a clear vision to make freight electric and autonomous, and it’s been amazing to see that idea turn into a global company.
