Too many VCs are funding AI companies that should be features. 12+ startups have raised $72.8M in the last few months for AI visibility (SEO for LLMs). We built it in 3 weeks with 3 people and shipped it for free.

The very fact that Hyderabad has no intercity bus terminal for private buses to board passengers in a dignified and safe mannee should be a red flag. Lives are so cheap in our country, nobody cares.

This is a simple yet effective way to put it. As early-stage VCs, the less we and the ecosystem do to distract them during the 0-1M stage, the better for the company.

VCs want founders to get out of the box LPs want VCs to get into a box and stay in it

An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells.  With more preclinical and clinical tests, this discovery may reveal a promising new pathway for developing therapies to fight cancer.

At pre-seed, other investors passing isn't signal. Ambitious ideas have risk and unknowns. It's natural to have many skeptics. Some of the best investments I've seen had very few term sheets for the pre-seed & seed rounds. Keep going.

I'm seeing more and more Startup plans project crossing into profitability using Series A proceeds. It's unlikely most will hit these plans or that the Series A will be their last capital raised, but it shows how far the pendulum has swung towards chasing "capital efficiency".

We’re at the point with AI codegen where Cursor + Claude 3.5 Sonnet is a legit technical cofounder.

Microsoft outage but Teams and Outlook are both fine is the adult version of snow that doesn’t settle enough for a school closure.
