.@JavelinVP together with our friends at @Rho, are hosting an intimate dinner for early-stage founders in SF. No panels, no pitches - just a small group of builders sharing what's working (and what's not) as they build AI companies. One thing we hear consistently: founders want a broader network of "same-stage" peers they can learn from and share the journey with. We are excited to help bring some stellar founders together next Wednesday. If you're building at the pre-seed to Series A stage, we would love to have you join us. Only a couple spots remain, dm me! luma.com/rhoevents-jkzj @TarlonKhoubyari @crisraygoza_

Excellent
The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

They did it right. Which took time. Realtors - embrace this and watch your lives get easier as you get many more listings. This is the best AI tech in the space by far.

GeoAI is going to be extremely important. LGND is building the full stack, from foundation models to applications. AI can now understand the Earth. We're talking 800 PB of Earth data, finally available to AI tools. You can start using it and building amazing things today! Nice work @natpmanning and the @lgnd_ai team!!!
Use AI to understand the Earth, and make the Earth understandable to AI. Over 800 PB of Earth imagery exists, and yet that data is largely absent from AI tools. Today we are launching LGND’s stack, with our API and our free application, Discover. lgnd.ai/resources/lgnd-ga-la…

Core Principle: Invest in amazing founders. Magic will follow. Read my partner @alex_gurevich's story about our investment in Moltbook. As Hannibal Smith would say... "I love it when a plan comes together!"

“Retention looks good” ≠ product-market fit. Real PMF = X% of customers completing Activity A every T time period = Leading Indicator of Retention Sat down w/ @markroberge (HubSpot CRO → IPO, one of my HBS profs) on his new book The Science of Scaling.

Sometimes I feel like everyone needs to watch “Don’t Look Up” again. Apply your own metaphor. Lots of choices.

How people think about Education is changing extremely rapidly. And MasterClass is leading the way. Read below and think about the massive advantages of this approach. And the value!
I’m so freakin excited! Today, MasterClass is launching the first ever AI native business school experience in collaboration with OpenAI and Chicago Booth. I’ve been working on this for almost a year and I believe this is the most important thing we've ever built. The old rules don’t apply anymore. This is the only business education built to keep up. Who’s teaching? @RayDalio. @paulkrugman. @mcuban. Indra Nooyi. @TonyRobbins. @garyvee. Along with 2 Turing Award winners, billionaire operators, world-class professors and even a Nobel prize winner. You’re gonna get the new business playbook by the people writing it. From how to lead an AI team to applied AI labs with @Lovable and @elevenlabs. But here's the part I'm most excited about: the entire multi-modal experience is personalized by AI so there is no wasted time and no filler content. This is how you thrive in this new world. We're accepting 10% of applicants. More selective than the elite. Apply below. Big thank you to everyone at MasterClass, Madav, @StarrMarcello, @leahbel, @matiii, @antonosika, Van, Julie and Lukas.

This is extremely eye opening. If you're a company that values security, then your execs need to value security too. This is a MUST READ if you want to be serious about that.
1/ We support hundreds of executives' cyber security. We analyzed their posture *before* they started working with us. For the first time, we're publishing results which highlight overlooked business risk 👇

A new phishing campaign on LinkedIn is targeting executives and IT leaders with fake job or project invites. These attacks are happening outside the traditional email inbox, directly inside professional messaging platforms executives use every day. (techradar.com/pro/security/a…) This matters because the best executives get approached by headhunters and recruiters. And those conversations often happen on channels that are intentionally not company-owned: personal phone, personal email, and social media. That creates a blind spot. If an executive gets compromised in that moment, attackers gain more than credentials. They gain leverage, including the ability to threaten exposure and create disruption around the executive’s current role. At The Cyber Health Company, our work helps executives stay secure across phone, email, and social platforms when they are being approached. And when something does go wrong, our privacy-preserving support means executives can get help reactively without making the situation worse or turning it into a larger incident. Book a demo with us to make sure your executives have both proactive and reactive support where you're not monitoring. #CISO #ExecutiveSecurity #Phishing #LinkedIn #CyberHealth

Landed in Hong Kong yesterday and our bags were already ready when we got to the carousel. Landed at SFO today and it's been almost 90 minutes - still no bags coming out. We need to do better.

Swastikas and nooses are EMBLEMS OF HATE. Millions of Jewish people were murdered and 400,000+ American service members gave their lives in WWII fighting to defeat Nazis. Thousands of Black Americans have been murdered in racial-terror lynchings. Pretending these symbols are anything but vile is DISGUSTING.
Leavitt skips a question about the Coast Guard no longer classifying swastikas as hate symbols
