SF has attracted the best talent from across the U.S. and around the world for more than 70 years. Yet most investors rarely leave the Bay.
Angela @astrange and Gabe are often among the first point of contact for exceptional founders.
As a result we’ve deployed more than 40% of our capital into international founders in the US and globally in the last 2 years.

Nonie’s place is a gem of a museum.
From last night: @marvinvonhagen and @inxoy_ caught browsing through the MoMa Futurism catalogue from 1961 :)
It was the first survey of Futurism in the United States and commemorated the Italian movement’s 50th anniversary.

Marvin and I first met almost 5y ago in Europe. We were both determined to move to the U.S ASAP.
Then, @interaction was one of the first angel checks I ever wrote, and @marvinvonhagen has enabled much of what I do today. I couldn’t have been more excited when he told me the news, especially given how much respect I have for both them and @cognition.

Cognition is acquiring @Interaction, the makers of Poke.
If you've ever used Poke, you know why we're so excited.

Looks like @a16z just took over the poker night scene in NY.
DM if you want a seat at the next one.

Excited to be part of the team tackling our global efforts and to help spearhead our international investing alongside my partner @astrange!
We believe AI is the great equalizer. For the first time, billions of people can access PhD-level intelligence from a phone. Talent is more distributed than ever, and Silicon Valley is ultimately a state of mind.
We’re already seeing this shift play out. Great global companies are being born outside the U.S. and scaling faster than ever: ElevenLabs, Black Forest Labs, Mistral, Lovable, Decart, Manus, Sakana, Wonderful, and many others are just the beginning.
Our goal is simple: build a bridge between the United States and the world’s best founders, operators, and technologists — and partner with them to win globally.
We’ll also continue doubling down on immigrant founders in the U.S. through our Borderless network. Immigrants have founded or co-founded 59% of America’s privately held billion-dollar startups, including companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, Databricks, Stripe, Ramp, Safe Superintelligence, Anysphere, Vercel, and RunwayML.
The next generation of category-defining companies will be born anywhere and scale everywhere, and we want to be the partner of choice for the founders building them.

CS 2881 by @boazbaraktcs is the University course I'm most excited about in a while.
Even better it features @EdTurner42 and @NeelNanda5 paper about Emergent Misalignment.
Anyone interested in AI Safety should follow along.
