Broke out some S tier @scale_AI swag (from the vault)
Founder I chatted with today said that because it's (seemingly) harder to get engagement on twitter / social media, in-person conferences have become a lot more important for engaging community & getting leads. Curious how widespread this view is!

Nooks, a team I backed during Covid, has pivoted their way to some INSANE customer love. It's exciting to see customers talking about the direct productivity gains they've seen (5x'd pipeline!). They're announcing their $22M Series A - let me know if you are interested in working…
What will be responsible for greater gains in efficiency next year - AI or banning TikTok?
As an investor, some of my most productive (& fun) meetings are chatting with awesome operators looking for what's next. I'm always happy to help brainstorm if you're looking for new roles!

If you’re a Codeium user or developer in the Miami area, we’re hosting a happy hour meetup today. DM me for an invite
OH: “We use the broken chairs for the meeting rooms so our meetings run shorter”
If you ever want me to advertise your brand to founders, only one thing might work - very high quality poker cards. Best piece of (non KP) swag I’ve received!
Looking back at my best performing personal angel investments... * Referral by a founder I trust * Have known founder for many years * Have worked directly with founder If you want to know where to start angel investing, start there! It's not as intimidating as it seems.

Every single partner at @kleinerperkins today started their career as an associate in VC. Even our founder @BrookByers did. The greatest VC of all time @johndoerr did as well. So much for associates!

Can’t count the times I’ve comforted someone who works at a startup with that fact that it’s chaos at basically all good startups 😂

There is incredible interest in humanoid biped robots walking around literally acting as people AND YET: there are millions of robot tasks that go un-automated using commodity robotics hardware/software stacks that could be deployed today to 100%+ net IRRs like what Formic does
🎉Our #robot fleet has surpassed 100,000 production hours for U.S. manufacturers! Our robots have packed & stacked more than 1.2 billion products like tortillas, nuts, coffee, frozen pizzas, vegetables, detergent, fasteners, padlocks, and more. The revolution is underway!
