Democrats did not save crypto; they just finally woke up in the wake of Trump crypto-courting. Politico thinks crypto voters “likely” represent a minority, but consider my position as an actual warning sign to democrats — as their literal key target audience. I am a married lesbian Jewish New Yorker woman who has had an abortion and marched in the women’s march and started my career with a cannabis business and has never voted for the Republican Party. If you can lose me, you can lose anybody who is pro-crypto. And those voter numbers aren’t “minority” numbers. Don’t keep digging your own grave @DNC. Thank you to @SenGillibrand and @SenSchumer for standing up for the industry while the rest of the party toes the incomprehensible Warren line. politico.com/news/2024/05/17…

Silicon Valley keeps building me a husband when what I really want is a wife lol I don't want an agent that only does one-off, random tasks that are nice but not life-changing: booking flights, making dinner reservations, or buying tickets I want an AI wife who knows what’s on the family calendar, remembers there’s a birthday party Saturday and we haven’t bought a gift then sends me options, realizes we’re almost out of diapers and buys them, knows which bills are coming up, remembers someone needs a dentist appointment and books it, figures out what the hell we’re eating all week and what we need from the grocery store, and generally keeps track of the 47 things that need to happen before anyone else even realizes they need to happen. So, who's building me an AI wife that carries the mental load instead of an AI husband that waits for me to give it a chore??

Stoked to bring @MetaLeX_Labs on as an inaugural @AmprFi partner. When Ampersand publicly launches at the end of the year, users will have access to equity capital raises that they've long been locked out of. If you’re a startup raising a SAFE round, @MetaLeX_Labs lets you create, issue, sign, and close the entire round onchain using standardized SAFE documents—without the usual lawyer / DocuSign / wire-transfer shuffle. Investors can fund directly, receive a tokenized certificate representing their investment, and both sides get a real-time, programmable record of the deal and cap table.

There’s a lot of activity around AI agents for investing. We think the more interesting question is what happens when you’re not limited to one agent, one strategy, or one financial product. That’s where Ampersand comes in.

you can almost feel the collective sighs of relief from menlo park as they observe this absolute fumble

My Supertake is that @Supertake was built for the same thing FOMO was built for: capitalizing on the attention economy vs. user value creation. Will it be fun? Yep. Will users probably bleed money? Also yep. @ me in 6 months when I'm proven right.

I'll start from the end: I have joined @VineVenturesLP. I'm excited, a little emotional, and mostly grateful to continue living my life. This morning @BusinessInsider published an interview with me. Thank you to @meliarobin and @JamieHeller for listening and for telling my story with sensitivity and nuance. For many people, I'm Noa Argamani, who was rescued by the IDF after 246 days in Hamas’ captivity. That's part of me, and it always will be. But it's not all of me, and I'd like you to get to know me in my new role too. If you're building something, have an idea you can't stop thinking about or you’re in the Valley and looking to help the most ambitious founders in Israel succeed, I hope to be a bridge between the two ecosystems.

I think one of the most compelling narratives for Ampersand right now is that there are so many normies out there who would love to use agentic investment tools but have no idea how to start. Frontier models now, @AmprFi tomorrow.

Maybe bc idk, maximum extraction chopped the heads off of most projects last cycle?

This is great news for the .1% of the population who knows how to deploy an AI agent to trade for you. For the 99.9% who don't, that's one of the reasons why we're building @AmprFi

1/ You told us: Private Equity deals AND Rare Wine & Liquor, tied at 40% each. So I guess we’re doing both. Here’s how they’d actually look on Ampersand. 🧵

We've reached the end of the first week since our waitlist went live. It's still open, but the earlier someone arrives the earlier you get access. More than 1,000 of you so far. Who's gonna be next?

As someone with a graduate degree in creative writing, I now just insert typos occasionally so ppl don't think it's AI slop. Such a shame I now can't use an em dash -- my favorite grammatical punctuation mark. And soon: I'll have to eliminate the colon. No more punctuation for humans.

If you could have easy investment access to the following, which would be your top priority after crypto and securities?

The journey begins.

Copy trading right now is still just day trading and it has a ceiling. The number of people willing to sit there and copy trades all day is so much smaller than if they didn't have to do it themselves.

I think we’re going to look back on screenshotting someone’s trade from X and manually recreating it in our own accounts and think, "shit, we really tried to do that." If someone has a strategy I want to follow, I should be able to just follow the strategy and put it to work. Not manually follow their wallet, not screenshot their trades, and not try to keep up with copy-trading the millisecond PUMP trader. We’re getting very close to that being yesterday's problem..

👀 we're cookin on something 👀
