Yesterday, @liquidcompute came out of stealth with a $15m raise and named @wintermute_t among the firms it’s working with to bring liquidity to compute markets. A pretty literal glimpse of the financial rails forming underneath the Machine Economy. Today, we hear from the man behind Wintermute. @EvgenyGaevoy sits down with @richardmuirhead to talk about how the company was built, where its edge came from, and why it refuses to bet on one version of the future.

The human stories behind the Machine Economy. What happens when machines can act, spend and earn? Welcome to Ex Machina, hosted by @richardmuirhead. Watch the trailer. Episode 1 lands Wednesday ↓

Applications delivered by agents that are able to code, reason, spend and even earn ...hit different. We are moving from an era of product:market fit to product:moment fit. From human activity to machine autonomy. What exactly we are summoning 'ex machina' is unfolding before us. We started inviting the builders and researchers behind this shift to share their experiences... from zero to one; the highs and the lows; including the technical nitty-gritty... live with our portfolio founders and our R3sidency accelerator cohort. Then it dawned on us that it just made sense to record some of these chats. So now we are able to bring you a selection of the human stories behind the machine economy and are on the hook to record some more. If you would like an audience, have something to get off your chest or would like to recommend a friend, then we would love to hear from you. In the meantime, I hope the guests serve as inspiration. Frontier tech needs founders and early-stage funders because we must build more globally scaled European success stories. @fabric_vc

Always find it fascinating hearing how startups began and how their founders think. Attio’s origin story from @byteofbits is no exception. Big thanks to @richardmuirhead from @fabric_vc for running their first [O]pen House at our offices yesterday.

[O]pen House opened its doors for the first time last night. @Attio co-founder & CTO @byteofbits joined @richardmuirhead, with R[3]sidency × Construct applicants and founders from across the ecosystem in the room. The premise is simple, give early-stage founders access to the lessons experienced founders rarely share publicly. And keep them in the room. More doors opening soon.

wish i could share the insights from our event today but that would break the cardinal rule of open house: don’t talk about open house s/o @attio @byteofbits @richardmuirhead @fabric_vc

Great to attend the @easya_app UK Parliament Hackathon Awards today, always good to see what people are actually building across London’s tech scene. Met some great founders, caught the live demos, and saw plenty of teams we’d love to see apply to R[3]sidency x Construct.

The first [O]pen House door opens. A fireside chat with Alexander Christie ( @byteofbits), Co-founder & CTO of @Attio, and @richardmuirhead. Attio is building the fastest-growing CRM in one of software's most crowded categories, now leading the shift to agentic CRM. We'll get into the conviction to build anyway and what it takes to scale a category leader. The conversations behind R[3]sidency x Construct have always been off the record. For the first time, the door's open. Apply to join the room, 8 Sept →
