We’re back.

My wife asked me to make an ad for her new modest swimwear company. Pretty sure this isn’t what she had in mind.

I built a living model of all our funds, synced from Carta via MCP. Change anything... an exit, markups, markdowns... the whole book reprices instantly. NAV, TVPI, per-partner carry, return-the-fund math. GPs: want this? DM me. Runs locally. Your data never leaves your office.

Jack White halftime show at Lions game is what Super Bowl halftime shows should be.

🤯 Legacy ERP takes months to implement. DualEntry does it in 24 hours. This week they announced a $90M Series A to power the first AI-native ERP… already processing $100B+ in journal entries across startups and public companies. We couldn’t be more excited to back Santi, Benedict, and the rest of the DuelEntry team. This is just the beginning.

Excited to back @CubbyLaw. AI isn’t just about shortcuts, it’s about deeper learning. Their tools help students perform better and truly understand the law.

Excited to share we’ve raised $2.75M for @CubbyLaw from @LudlowVentures, @SamHinkie, and @PSUMVC. We’re building the first AI teaching assistant for law students, powered by our own legal intelligence model trained on thousands of professors’ syllabi, past exams, outlines, and grading rubrics. Cubby started as a horizontal AI research tool, but when law students began adopting it fast, we went all in. Law school prep is broken: • Curve-based grading • 100+ hrs building outlines • Legacy tools students still pay thousands for Cubby brings it all into one connected workspace: case briefs, outlines, and practice exams, calibrated to how your professor teaches and tests. Law school is our first step toward a new era in legal tech.

9,347 part iterations, 32 research studies, and 1,167 days later, I’m proud to introduce Backbone Pro. The last gaming product you’ll ever need. What's the future of gaming? For 3 years, we’ve obsessed over this question, and built a team from Apple, Meta, and Google. Our answer: A single game controller and app that works across phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, Meta Quest, Vision Pro. All without a console. Any game, on any screen, anywhere. Why now? Music and TV moved to streaming, and gaming is next. Last week, LG announced that you can stream Xbox games on all their new TVs without a console. You can now play games on every screen. Soon, gamers will identify more with controllers than with consoles. After all, you’ll need something to control all those screens. 400 million game controllers exist in the world today. But they were all made primarily for use with a single console. Nobody has changed this in 15+ years. Backbone Pro is more than just a controller. It’s the next gaming platform, built to make gaming accessible to everyone. Play whatever, wherever. No complex setup. One device instead of five. How it works: Building great devices is hard. Microsoft spent $100M designing the Xbox One controller. Backbone Pro is the smallest, most comfortable handheld gaming device ever made. Much like the Switch 2, it offers two ways to play: Handheld Mode, where your phone is physically connected via USB-C for low latency and no charging required; and Wireless Mode, connecting via Bluetooth for gaming from a distance. It pairs instantly with tablets, laptops, VR headsets, & smart TVs. Backbone's FlowState Technology lets you switch between them like AirPods. No pairing menus. Just tap and play. Combined with the Backbone app - your universal hub for mobile, cloud, console, and retro games - you can play everything from Xbox, App Store, Steam, & Netflix games all in one place. What we’ve accomplished so far: 1. Partnered with PlayStation, Xbox, & Kojima 2. Sold in Apple Stores, Best Buy, Target, Walmart 3. Hit top 5 in our App Store category last holiday 4. Featured in Apple’s iPhone 16 keynote 5. Raised $40M from Index & Adjacent (backed Discord, Roblox) If you've read this far, I want to thank you with a gift 👇 At 21, as a Google intern, I made a viral slide deck about gaming being the most underrated opportunity in the next 10 years and emailed it to the top vice presidents. 15% of the company read it. That deck turned into Backbone. Since then, over the last 5+ years, I’ve been lucky to learn directly from the best: CEOs from companies like Discord, Oura, and Notion. The minds behind AirPods, Oculus, and Xbox. Creators like MrBeast, Preston, and Zoe Unlimited. They shared the stuff no one talks about publicly - the real secrets behind iconic consumer products. I put all those lessons into one private doc: How to build world-class consumer products Retweet this & comment “Backbone” and I’ll send you the Google Drive link for free.

1/ So…I just took a closer look at the viral video accusing my former company Honey of being a scam. I was shocked. It wasn’t just sensational, it repeatedly faked the evidence. Fortunately, you can easily verify the deception for yourself.

Update: Pie just hit 2M users after crossing 1M only 3.5 months ago. Just getting started. 🚀

This is an Xbox. It’s ready to go anywhere with you. @Xbox backbone.com/xbox/

💸 Stablecoin adoption is soaring, but offramping is still broken. We just raised $3.5M to fix it. 🚀 Big thanks to @KindredVentures, @LudlowVentures , @TheDFSLab, @TheVentureDept and @thefintechfund for believing in our mission. 🙏 pymnts.com/news/cross-border…

🚨 Mystery Drones Over NJ: A Domestic Security Gap We Can’t Ignore 🚨 I’ve been on @CNN , @NewsNation , @CBSNews , & @BBCNews discussing the thousands of unidentified drones over NJ. Rumors are swirling—foreign adversaries, secret U.S. ops, even aliens. The truth? Their origin matters less than our defenselessness to any drone with malicious intent. Drones are here, now—and without urgent action, we risk real harm. Dive in 🔽 (1/6)

Honey took 3.5 years to hit 1M users. Pie (ex-Honey) just did it in 3.5 months.

The excitement in @andrewfarah's voice when he and his team realized that Waffle was technically feasible was palpable. What a significant milestone for the entire Density team.

The best founders make you want to work with them again and again. Honored to back @Markgher for the second time. His track record speaks volumes (founder/CEO $BRZE), but his character and humility set him apart.

Excited to announce our investment in Purchaser's seed round. Drura, Justin, and Saifu are the real deal - a breath of fresh air in a not-so-fresh industry.

. @ketau and the dream team from Honey are back building again. They understand the fundamental value of aligning incentives with users better than anyone else. Thrilled to be working with this crew again.

Awesome to see @oncyber launch V2. Art galleries to platform racers, 3D websites, the possibilities are limitless. Easiest world building tool now supercharged with a flexible and simple Javascript API.
