Happy Friday! I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my seed fund, Path Ventures (path.vc). I'll be investing between $150k-$300k in early-stage companies that are delighting and empowering their customers. If you're building one of those, reach out!
Can they make one for adults?
Freckle is the first kids phone built for real-world adventure.
Shipping in December. Pre-order today: freckle.tech
For the proliferation of AI-gen filmmaking, I'm surprised there's not an equal boom in the "$15k budget movie that we can make look like $15m".
I actually think that's more fertile ground, and I assume a much lighter lift in compute - established motion, subjects, audio, etc.
whoever said human jobs will be displaced by AI clearly hasn't talked to enough freestanding poles or sides of buildings.
Today we're launching rentahuman.ai/signs
The easiest way to advertise your product to the highest concentration of builders in the world.
Pick a corner, an event, or a company's front door, and real humans will show up holding your sign.
is there a better salesperson than the one who came up with the idea for season tickets?
"hey we're having trouble filling the seats"
"what if we make them buy WAY MORE and lock them in UPFRONT"
"what? um...ok...sure let's try that I guess"
To put this in tech/venture terms: think of a company you thought had a REALLY expensive seed round. Now triple it. Now 50x that. Now you're comparing the seed round to some category leading public companies, right?
OK cool, now 10x that and send the wire.
BREAKING: The Cooper Flagg NBA Debut Patch autograph card has officially sold in our auction for $8,040,000.
This sets the record for the most expensive Cooper Flagg card of all time, surpassing the previous record of $366,000.
The historic sale makes it the third-most expensive NBA card ever and sixth-most expensive trading card in history.
I just received a cold resume from a college student and it felt stuck in the past.
if you’re looking for an internship or job in tech or venture, your resume should increasingly look like proof that you try stuff. Go build something, go down a rabbit hole, show a side quest!
the rarest tweet in investing is talking someone else's book. But it's so delightful when I see it.
I'll do that more.
My wonderful grandpa Bill Draper (fka Pops) passed this week. As good of a VC and public servant he was, he was a better human. We’re going to miss him like crazy.
We always say that Path Ventures founders change the game, but now we have proof.
This generation of tech workers will never feel the warm embrace of a crisp 2010s era American Apparel startup logo V-neck tee.
I'm old enough to remember when diamonds were expensive to buy. Now it's like eggs, organic berries, and then diamonds 3rd or 4th.

Nice guys finish first. Be good to your family, friends, colleagues, clients, everyone you pass on the street.
There's a huge opportunity to rethink and 'banana ball' conferences entirely:
-They're 85% programming. This should be flipped to 85% networking
-They're low energy, quiet, and sterile
-Conference goal should be for every attendant to meet half of the room
Anyone fixing this?

Keep cooking @Monumental_Labs !!
