So excited to share that Neal has been promoted to Principal! For those of you that know him, you know how well deserved this news is. He harassed me (in a loving way) and everyone I know to get me on the phone when I was searching for my first investor to join the team two years ago. He has worked tirelessly since the day he applied for the job to help me continue to build what I hope becomes a pretty special early stage firm. He has sourced a handful of incredible companies that we are lucky to be investors in over the past 24 months and I can't wait to see what he does next. I gifted him a fancy little leather check book which I forgot to take a picture of when I told him he was writing his own checks moving forward. Please join me in congratulating @NealMintz1 on being the fantastic human and investor that he is! Lucky to have you Neal!

Has been a wild 2 years behind the scenes with founders @harryjohndixon and @rory_builds building the data and distribution layer for brands. Brands - @UseMateAI is for you! Get onboard if you aren’t already.
Meet mate, your AI growth teammate for marketers. We spent the last 2 years in stealth building the hard part first: distribution. A live network of 12B+ shopper intent signals that tells us who’s actually in-market, right now. Now mate puts AI on top of that network to find your customers and convert them. It's like Claude for your marketing team but with our own consumer distribution infrastructure underneath. We quietly signed 700 brands to the beta, drove $94.4 million in sales in 12 months for the likes of JD Sports, Brooklinen and Everlane, and are weeks away from crossing a $15M run rate. Today, we’re thrilled to be opening the beta. Drop a comment if you run an online store and we'll get you set up!

Portfolio company Atomic Canyon built the first AI tool for the nuclear industry (NIVA) alongside the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO), Nuclear Energy Institute, EPRI, and Constellation. Atomic Canyon currently powers Diablo Canyon, Constellation Energy and others. They also raised a strategic round from NVIDIA. Huge progress in two years. Still early!

There is a wonderful Childrens Museum in Sonoma that is bursting at the seems with children visiting and not enough space to accommodate all of them. Since 2014 it has grown from 70k young visitors per year to 200,000. It is the only hands-on discovery and STEM learning center along Highway 101 between the Golden Gate Bridge and California’s northern border. My son absolutely loves it. They break ground on a large expansion plan to welcome even more children on August 28th. They are $1M shy of their goal to complete the expansion. Would love your help sharing or contributing!! Worth visiting to see for yourself if you are in SF. cmosc.org/upexpansion/

Portfolio company Ansa has been acquired by Rain to help build their stored value layer. This is a natural acceleration of Ansa’s mission: payments shouldn’t dictate how commerce works. Borderless money through stablecoins will help serve their global customers better with a unified customer experience - wherever those customers live and spend. Was very fortunate to work alongside @sophgoldb from day one back in early 2022 as she started the business. Rain is on a tear and I can't wait to see what the team builds together. rain.xyz/resources/rain-acqu…

Corner Health is out of stealth today! Nurse practitioners are the fastest growing employment group in the US, and independent NP primary care practices is a 100B market opportunity. Corner Health has started and scaled over 70 brick and mortar primary care practices (from scratch; without touching a single lease!) over the past two years. They have enabled 35,000 patient visits over the past year; 70%+ of initial patient visits are in-person. We are very lucky to be early backers in Lava and Anne in their first round of capital back in 2024. Still early!

From stealth, privileged to introduce American Turbines. We're building a new class of small, highly manufacturable gas turbines for rapid-to-deploy energy generation. ​Abundant energy is the soil from which everything else grows: intelligence, industry, the next century of work. ​The only way forward is energy generation we can scale by orders of magnitude. We're building that here at American Turbines. Hyper manufacturable, by design. @amturbines

And here in SF. ​Abundant energy is the soil from which everything else grows: intelligence, industry, the next century of work. Super lucky to support @Johnmcelhone from day one of @amturbines as their seed lead investor. Showcase at HQ for interested customers, hires and investors this week. Onward!

As someone that grew up on food stamps - this company is near and dear to me. 1 in 8 Americans (40M people) receive SNAP benefits per month. Most are under 18 years old or over 60. It has traditionally been very hard to check EBT balances, know which grocery stores accept SNAP and how to leverage the benefits. Forage brought SNAP online, enables people to buy via Doordash, Gopuff (and more) and launched a free consumer app last year to help struggling Americans manage their benefits easily. Grateful to be an early investor and to watch @OfekLavian build a wonderful business!

Longevity wasn't really a focus for me until I turned 30 and now I'm all in on how to improve sleep, peptides, etc. Sat down with @harrygestetner1 to learn more about sleep. Turns out that the number one variable that impacts sleep quality is body temperature. Listen in on how he is optimizing for this with @orionsleep:

Model progress is no longer constrained by architecture, but by access to high-quality, human-generated data. Scraped internet data is finite, low-signal and increasingly synthetic. Kled AI pays real people to upload authentic, real world content task by task in their mobile app. We are super excited to back @avipat_ and @useKled as they build a massive data marketplace. If you are in need of a great data partner, reach out! More from us here (we were not investors when we filmed):

Welcome to the team Rama!
The world needs more hardware. More satellites, medical devices, robots, etc. The electronic component supply chain is a mess and can't currently sustain the demand across categories. We are leading a $3M seed in Rama who is solving several supply chain challenges for distributors. More from me and the team:

Nearly impossible to launch out of stealth or announce your latest fundraise in any reasonable amount of time with any relevant tech news outlet. Huge issue we have for our own companies. I want to open up our podcast studio and podcast as an outlet for folks with news they want to share. Have a huge following across channels. If you have a big announcement, let me know and come swing by to chat about it. Our team will cover it and we can move within the week. PR as a service...

Backed a greeting card company last year and it is crushing. The current market is over $20B and 2/3 of consumers prefer a physical card. Use Escargot and send cards to everyone around a special occasion instantly. They will love it! More on the round from me and the team:
