One of my favorite @GuptaRK22 stories:
Ravi took Christina and me to lunch with his friends Sheryl Sandberg and Tom Bernthal.
In his intro Ravi described Vanta as a “boring but amazing” business to Sheryl.
Sheryl - who knew the painpoints Vanta solved from her personal experience at Facebook - immediately snapped back at Ravi “what about this could you possibly find boring Ravi, this is so interesting.”
First time I ever saw Ravi blush

Really proud of the @ElevenLabs team.
This $22B milestone was well-earned from exceptional performance via groundbreaking research to product, GTM, and deployments.
I was lucky to spend a few days with the full company at their offsite in Mexico a few weeks ago. The talent density is insane, and it’s a capital t Team.
Lucky to work with this group.

We're partnering with Lucid Motors to design and deploy 25,000 autonomous vehicles across Europe. 🌍
Europe sets a higher bar than anywhere else, so we start at product development: co-designing the vehicle and software on NVIDIA Hyperion.
Optimising for safety, speed of scaling and the lowest cost per km.
Bolt will also own and run the fleet. More on that soon.

Responding to a question about the role of parenting, Moritz responded:
"I think it's to arm the children with confidence."
My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years.
Michael joined Sequoia in 1986 and co-led the firm with Doug Leone (@dougleone) from 1995 to 2012. His investments include Google, Yahoo, PayPal, and Stripe.
His new book, Ausländer, traces his parents' escape from Nazi Germany and helps explain his lifelong interest in what shapes exceptional people.
We discuss:
- The infamous Steve Jobs profile
- Why Don Valentine hired him
- The question he finds most revealing when interviewing people
- Monomania and the cost of greatness
- Why he has never felt good at anything
- Writing, journalism and AI
- What he learned about himself writing Ausländer
I'd recommend watching this one if you can. Michael was incredibly thoughtful and reflective throughout, particularly when talking about his parents, childhood, and the more difficult parts of his personal story.
Enjoy!

I resigned from SendCutSend today. I was doing R&D with them and OshCUT. Neither company is acting responsibly. They're just letting anyone make parts for hardly any money and super fast. They are racing straight to reindustrialization and gambling with our lives

We’re partnering with @UMG to build a new AI-powered music platform designed to make both possible.
