Demand for AI will outpace the supply of data and compute. The winners will be those who get the most out of every byte and GPU cycle. @flappyairplanes is tackling both, from kernels to pretraining. Congrats to @amspector100, @spectorb, @aidanmantine and the Flappy team on their $1B Series A. ✈️

I've lost track of the number of times people have called @whop "niche" or questioned its TAM. In fact, @whop is serving a global community of young people who are looking for alternative ways to support themselves outside of the 9-5 paradigm. This population is rapidly growing in size due to market forces - crushing student debt, AI displacing entry level jobs, ROI erosion in higher ed, and rising living costs. The current system does not work for millions of people. @whop was built to create another path not beholden to traditional schooling and employment. Every board deck begins with its mission: "deliver everyone a sustainable income." @cultured and @czoob3 are native to this community and understand it viscerally. They saw this opportunity years before it became obvious. @whop is at an inflection point with @dougleone @sequoia and @tobi @Shopify co-leading the Series D. @cultured and @czoob3 are building their team for the next chapter - please apply if this mission resonates with you.
Whop has raised $200M in Series D funding at a $5.1B valuation, backed by @sequoia and @shopify. It really feels like we are barely touching the tip of the iceberg in a market larger than anyone can imagine. We first launched Whop as a better way for us to sell sneaker bots, one of the most niche types of desktop software out there. Total TAM? Probably $20,000 per day. Who cares, tiny market. But, what people discounted is the idea that there were actually 70,000 other markets exactly like that one. Beyond the investment itself, I am especially excited to welcome legendary silicon valley investor @dougleone to our board of directors. Doug and the sequoia team are nothing but a brilliant, resourceful, and principled group of people. My co-founder Cameron and I started building on Shopify when we were 13 years old. Shopify is one of the most impactful all-in-one cloud ecosystems ever created; @tobi has pioneered modern entrepreneurship the way we know it and we are thrilled to have him in our corner. We have a tenet at Whop to be the dumbest in the room and I am very grateful that this has recently become a lot easier. We are focused on markets, scale economies, and progressive media. If that is up your alley, please message me directly. The $200M raised will support our expansion as we build economic infrastructure for the next century, continuing on our mission of delivering everyone an income.

I do a fair amount of podcasts and in fact I've been told I have a face for radio. Rarely do I enjoy them as much as this conversation with Scott Voss, a friend and, as it turns out, stellar interviewer. open.spotify.com/episode/1zN…

Big thanks to @danprimack and @Axios for having me at AI Across America in Boston. Dan and I discussed physical AI and our belief in full-stack solutions (like @TerraFirma_Inc @Mind_Robotics , @sundayrobotics ). By owning the whole solution, you also own the data flywheel. Excited for the opportunities ahead. youtu.be/GvuyPQ0MWMg?si=QSSj…

Three Swedish engineers with no legal experience started eating lunch every day with lawyers who didn’t know much about AI. @WeAreLegora went from that lunch table to $200M ARR. A conversation with @MaxJunestrand and @merritthummer.

I'm honored to share that @BainCapVC is leading @solcoatech's $75M seed financing. One year ago they were proving chemistry on a demo line, they've since scaled to a full production facility in Alameda, and today announce Solcoa One, their 500-tonne rare earth metallization plant in Nevada.

Today we're announcing $75M to build Solcoa One, our 500-tonne rare earth metallization plant in Nevada. At Solcoa, we believe rare earths are the foundation of America's next great industrial era. An era we intend to win on the merits, with superior American technology.

Rare earths are foundational to many of the world’s most important technologies. Producing them end-to-end in the U.S. was considered impossible by some, until @hoomanrenezhad and Artem Iurkovskyi did it in a year with @solcoatech. @alysaaco discusses their journey.
