Investors imagine the future. Builders create it. Operators scale it.

"Without the builder to start, you can't get the others. And when a company is built without the builder, while outcomes can still be spectacular, they're not enduring."
@acharoo, Founding Partner of @MapleVCFund, on the one archetype most early teams are missing, and why it's the one that determines whether a company changes the world or just makes money.

I’ve spent the last decade thinking about what makes an exceptional founder — especially the ones who are easy to misread early.
Really enjoyed unpacking what I’ve learned with @amritcat.
Thanks Amrit and @villageglobal for having me!
"When your mind is stretched by how we're going to get there, that's a builder. When it's linear and legible, you're most likely talking to an inventor."
@acharoo, Founding Partner of @MapleVCFund and Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School, has spent his career obsessed with one question: what makes a founder illegible to capital at the early stage, and why does that illegibility sometimes predict the biggest outcomes.
In this conversation with @amritcat, Andre shares the framework he's used across 4 funds to spot builders before the market can read them.

@Clay just raised a $115M Series D at a $7.1B valuation.
Now, more than 17,000 teams build on Clay, including Anthropic, SpaceXAI, Google, OpenAI, Stripe, Visa, UPS — and 80% of the Forbes AI50.
@nytimes just broke the news, but the story goes far beyond the raise. AI is unleashing the biggest wave of company creation in history. Clay’s goal is to be the engine they use to grow.
Clay is a self-learning revenue engine that figures out the best GTM play for your company, then runs it.
We started as the company with the best data about other companies. Then we became the infrastructure to run campaigns across email, ads, and landing pages.
Now we’re building agents that learn from every campaign, predict the next best action, and get better each time they run.
Software engineers use coding agents to write code. GTM engineers now use growth agents to autonomously grow their companies.
In 2023, we introduced GTME as a new role for people creating revenue systems with data, automation, and AI. Two years later, thousands of GTMEs are growing the world's best companies. They are gathering in nearly 100 Clay Clubs around the world, from Bangalore to Boston and Lahore to Lisbon.
That’s why we’re proud to launch a $1M scholarship fund, helping more people enter the profession.
@Wellington_Mgmt led our Series D, with participation from @sequoia, @stepstonegroup, @a16z Perennial, @MeritechCapital, DST Global, @CapitalG, @BoxGroup, @boldstartvc, @BloombergBeta, and @EvolutionEquity.
A gracious thank you goes out to our customers, community, partners, team, and every GTM engineer shaping this with us.
We are going to unveil the future of Agentic GTM at SCULPT on October 8.
Stay tuned to see how to use AI to grow every company.
🖤🩵❤️💛

Proud to have backed @clay from day 1.
What most people missed: it all started with the data network effect.
We drew this flywheel two years ago. Now replace users with agents.
Same flywheel. Spinning much faster.
Our ~$145M gain today could become $1B in the not-too-distant future.
Congrats @kareemamin 🚀

Most investors do not appreciate the important role that @LayerZero_Core is playing in crypto messaging and interoperability. I am so impressed with the vision of Bryan, Simon, and the team.
Messaging/interop protocols have been critical infra since the proliferation of L1s, app-specific chains, and the rollup-centric roadmap.
As many more assets move on-chain, the need for ubiquitous interoperability only grows exponentially.
It's becoming pretty clear to me that @LayerZero_Core 's interop business ALONE will probably grow into nine-figure ARR very quickly.
Much more to come from the team.

After a decade of investing, I noticed the best founding teams all share the same pattern. I call it The Talent Arbitrage—a framework for understanding why some teams build enduring companies. Take the quiz to find your archetype: maplevc.com/talent-quiz

We were honored to have Aalo CEO @MattLoszak at the White House with @POTUS to celebrate our criticality milestone and commercialization roadmap.
Aalo is proud to build under the leadership of the President, DOE, and NRC.
American sodium-cooled, mass-manufactured reactors have a bright future enabling electrification and strengthening the grid. 🇺🇸

Not sure why I was so out of breath (it was probably all the screaming) but here is my speech from after we achieved criticality.
To the second atomic age!!

Aalo Atomics brought a commercial-scale advanced reactor to initial criticality on July 4, 2026 at 12:20 AM (MT).
This means the President’s goal of at least three criticalities by July 4 has been surpassed, making "4 by the 4th" a reality.

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright has just signed the approval to turn on our first nuclear reactor at the Aalo-X site.
And he did the signing live in person!
We can now begin to load fuel. It will take a few days—this is a big reactor— but we are on pace to achieve criticality before July 4th.
Thanks again to DOE and INL for their incredible support over the past few months.
More announcements soon!

Congrats on the launch @kenchong and @matt_sawchuk!
1/ Last year we got hooked on agents. Today, many friends and family still haven’t found their daily AI.
So we built @heyjarvie, your AI assistant for iMessage group chats.
With an $8.3M Seed from @a16z, @Base10Partners & @lightspeedvp we're giving chats an agentic boost!
Try it at heyjarvie.com.

Confusing vision and a dream is one of the most common ways early founders end up lost.
@jedgar wrote about what a great pitch actually shows and why "we'll iterate" is a red flag dressed up as humility. maplevc.com/blog-john-edgar-…

Let’s go @AlexanderTw33ts! “Uber for humans” captured my imagination immediately. Incredibly excited about this future. Congrats on the launch!

Rentahuman (@RentAHumanX) allows AI agents to communicate with and pay humans to do tasks in the real world. Their mission is to use AI to create new jobs and coordinate workers at global scale.
The future will have more intelligence, more jobs, and more opportunities for people outside of the digital world.
Congrats on the launch, @alexandertw33ts!
