💥 Introducing Warp Sciences, a new company applying AI and robotics to help the world develop new medicines faster.
We’ve raised a $215M Series A led by @lightspeedvp to bring frontier AI out of the browser and into the lab, and build scientific capacity here in America.
I co-founded Warp with my long-time friend @dpatil, FAIR co-founder @manohar_paluri, and drug hunter Sol Reisberg. The early team is full of incredible people like @bkspears9, who helped achieve Q>1 fusion at LLNL.

it's been 10 weeks of 50% week-over-week growth with pancake.ai
no matter how many startups you’ve built, the next one still makes you feel like a beginner. there’s always something you’ve never done before that you suddenly need to figure out.
jumping out of a plane, trying to break a guinness world record. it's all fun!
but the best part is still realizing you’ve built something other people think is worth paying for.
more to come!
so much company knowledge lives in people's heads. that's exactly why this problem matters
agents can't do a meaningful share of knowledge work without understanding the companies they work for
hard to imagine a future where they don't have that context

@contextconor and i first met over 3 years ago at a dinner party, before @hyperspell or @quivlyai existed
the last 3 years have been a wild ride for both of us. it's been such a joy building alongside conor. he's one of the most helpful founders i know, always goes above and beyond - truly embodying the pay it forward mindset of the sf startup ecosystem
now the hyperspell team runs all their customer onboarding, growth and retention on quivly. full circle moment :)

Today, we’re releasing the first official anthem to celebrate being a single founder.
Society has a million songs celebrating love, marriage, and heartbreak. But somehow, nobody thought being single was worth celebrating.
Until now.
A few months ago, @contextconor started a movement: Single Until Series B.
He recruited me early. I joined his crusade, at great cost to my public reputation.
Today, we’re taking it a step further with an official anthem and music video for single founders everywhere.
Inspired by the very real suffering of pre-PMF founders, Conor composed the song, enhanced with Suno.
We shot the video in an hour with friends, then expanded it into a full hybrid production with our team at @KoyalAI using FilmArena.ai.
Some people find love. Others find product-market fit.
This one’s for everyone who’s found neither.

What a fun time at @hyperspell’s office! They’re building the company brain that actually understands and does the work. Thanks @contextconor for making me feel at home with such a warm and special welcome!
Context matters more than ever now. Winners will make the collection and consumption of context truly frictionless and deeply embedded into every flow of work. Excited to see where this goes🔥
Make sure to check them out: hyperspell.com.

SF Tech Week had enough pitch decks. We brought the other kind.
3,000+ RSVPs for OOO — The Techno Sound. Now we had to throw a night worth showing up for.
Hellyeah brought live AI visuals and lighting. @contextconor, LIDIYA, JETWAY, MORTIS, J/TΞK and HAPKI took care of the soundtrack, with sets running until 2 a.m.
More of this side of SF, please. People with something to play, something to make, something to bring beyond their company intro.
Together with @hyperspell, @EragonAI, @astorie_ai, @CollovLabs, @OpusClip, @neobrowser and @SSG_Accelerator, we brought that room to life.
And @Doudoujay, @YChahahahaAI, @lwqconnie, and @CathyChang00 —thank you for putting the whole thing on. Eight hosts, a full DJ lineup, thousands of RSVPs. The recap gets the fun part. You handled everything it took to get there.
Other Tech Week hosts: bring your decks. We’ll compare sets.
Sound up. Who’s playing the next one?
