News! We just launched “The General Podcast” 🎙️
It’s a ‘hostless' show that pairs tech and business leaders together for honest, behind-the-scenes conversations about building:
🎙️ Ep 1: Katie Dill (@lil_dill) x Randy Hunt (@randyjhunt)
🎙️ Ep 2: A healthcare journalist x a Pulitzer Prize-winning author
🎙️ Ep 3: Two rising media founders
🎙️ Ep 4: Two legendary COOs
And many more. So why are we doing this?
The best conversations don’t happen in interviews. They happen between peers—people solving similar problems, or shaped by shared experience across an entire career.
We built a show around that. Listen 👇

It’s been awesome building with @capitaltruist and the whole @falconer_ai team.
Don’t burn tokens making up new shit everytime there’s a question— the best answers are inside your company already — @falconer_ai brings you the answers you need when you need them.
Trillions are pouring into the race to build the first general superintelligence, but leveraging your own specialized know-it-all is now possible as of today.
I built the knowledge systems at @stripe and @uber. Then I helped Anthropic, Metronome, and Graphite build a killer developer experience. Everyone wants Stripe-level quality, but that bar is too low.
Falconer gives you and your customers complete, specialized intelligence: an internal knowledge base and external documentation in one beautiful package. Falconer is the ultimate trust engine to manage your context: self-driving, observable, and agent-friendly.
I co-founded @falconer_ai with @mbenedetto212 and assembled a team of know-it-all builders. We're backed by fellow know-it-alls @thegp, @BoxGroup, @svangel, @karimatiyeh, @benln, @zachlloydtweets, @CeciStalls, @MerrillLutsky, @scottmac, @malthe, and @adamjstevenson, with angels from Anthropic, Stripe, Meta, Cursor, Replit, and more.
Frontier intelligence companies like @FireworksAI_HQ and @⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛; fintech companies like @payabli and @vori; and healthtech companies like @thatch_ai use @falconer_ai because they all share the same vision as us: the knowledge you earn should belong to you.
Now you can know everything, so you can build anything.

Every company is about to have more AI agents than employees, and both are useless without knowledge they can trust. Dave built that layer at Stripe and Uber. Falconer brings it to everyone including Fireworks Thatch, Payabli and many more. Proud to be backing this team

Company knowledge should move as fast as the company does.
@falconer_ai brings internal knowledge and external docs together into one beautiful package for both teams and agents. Already trusted by @FireworksAI_HQ, @thatch_ai and many others.
Proud to back and keep building with @capitaltruist, @mbenedetto212 and the team. This is only the beginning. 💪

@joshhhua is one of the best Talent Leaders in venture
He built Robinhood from 30 through IPO, and is giving out free game on the timeline
Oh, and one of the favorite people to work alongside at @thegp
NEW: The Executive Search Operating System.
We spent weeks putting pen to paper to capture what matters most in executive recruiting. Written by @joshhhua, our Head of Talent who previously led recruiting at @RobinhoodApp as it grew from 30 to 4,000, this guide lays out a 4-phase framework for running an executive search.
The core idea is that search is a loop. Every conversation should sharpen your understanding of who you need and strengthen your candidate pool.
The guide gives you concrete tools to answer one question every week: Is this search actually working?

Many VCs will give you tactical advice on how to run your hiring process without ever hiring anyone at any scale.
We operate a little different and have folks on the team who've led recruiting for critical roles at top companies - in this case written by our Head of Talent who previously led recruiting at @RobinhoodApp as it grew from 30 to 4,000.
This guide lays out a 4-phase framework for running an executive search - the entire loop from mandate definition to close.

Our team says they took weeks to capture what matters but it's really decades of aggregate work across the top companies in tech. startups are bad at hiring and despite capital amounts, it remains the largest bottleneck.

First 45 accept decision notifications just went out for Vibecheck, the formal methods hackathon. We have space for 75 people at the @thegp office, and are going to do accept decisions in batches, so that we can fit as many people as possible (whoever says no in batch N, opens more slots for N+1). If you haven't applied yet and fill out the form on fmxai.org/vibecheck we will consider you for the next batch! We are optimizing for a very diverse group of competitors with many backgrounds and interests, with a particular emphasis on folks with little to no FM experience. Can't wait to see you in SF!

Big news from @TurbineOneTech.
TurbineOne is partnering with @OpenAI to bring frontier AI into military operating environments.
This partnership combines OpenAI’s models with TurbineOne’s technology and experience deploying AI at the frontline, including in secure and contested environments where cloud-dependent AI can’t operate.
More on the news: globenewswire.com/news-relea…
Our portfolio company Charming is out in the world today ✨
Create personal apps for anything in your life. A family meal planner. A library for your books and records. A trip hub. An expense tracker. Go crazy.
Build in Claude/ChatGPT + share it like a Google Doc.
We loved bringing together Stripe's alumni community with our GP community last night in honor of #SFTechWeek.
Thank you @stripe for co-hosting! 🧡

Proud to share that @TurbineOneTech is now the subject of a @HarvardHBS case study. 🎓
"TurbineOne: Navigating Growth on the Front Lines," written by @bussgang and James Barnett, is being taught in Launching Technology Ventures, the HBS elective that has trained more than 2,500 founders and startup operators over fifteen years.
The case goes back to one of our earliest and hardest decisions. In 2022, we had our first major Defense contract within reach, but not the facility clearance to do the work directly. Take the fast path as a subcontractor under a prime, or hold out to own the customer relationship and risk the deal entirely?
It's a question every defense tech founder eventually faces, and one where the traditional startup playbook doesn't always hold up.
Thank you for telling our story and for having me. It's an honor to see TurbineOne's journey become part of how the next generation of founders learns to build.

Today marks @thatch_ai's 5 year anniversary. 5 years in, here are the 5 lessons I keep coming back to:
1. The right team matters infinitely more than the right idea.
2. Separate your ego from your hypothesis, and you’ll value “getting it right” over “being right.”
3. A great culture is simultaneously intense, reasonable, and kind.
4. A powerful mission changes you before it changes the world.
5. Integrity is always the correct business decision in the fullness of time.

Excited to have @thegp be part of bringing all these builders together in San Francisco for a formal methods hackathon - @bencmejla @dpup will be there along with others from our team - will be great.

We’re organizing Vibecheck, a formal methods hackathon with some of the best folks in the space - @maxvonhippel, @qd_forall, @nolanlwin, @jessemhan, @emiyazono, and @workersio.
You’ll get a weekend to build real production software, and formally verify it.
We’ll have people who really know their stuff around to help, and you can come with a team, find one there, or just hack on something yourself.
We are glad to have a phenomenal group of sponsors, including @harmonicmath, @mathematics_inc, @theoremlabs, @thegp, @omnicom, @primeintellect, @astriolabs, @buildwithparty, @wearerandomlabs, and @lanyon_ai, as well as some more we will announce in the coming days!
If you’re a hacker, a formal methods person, or just someone who thinks “how do we know it works?” is an interesting question, we’d love to have you.
