In 2020, I was diagnosed with melanoma. A spot had been on my face for years, caught only because my dermatologist happened to check beneath my COVID mask on her way out of the room. Nearly every melanoma survivor has a version of that story: a lucky catch, or a near miss where the system almost failed them. We’re building @SkinBitOfficial because no one should die of a cancer we can see. SkinBit gives users access to the most important thing of all: a longer, healthier life. We're putting a full-body scan inside the places people already go, like med spas and dermatology practices. A board-certified dermatologist reviews every scan, and it becomes part of a baseline that's yours to keep, year after year. If something looks like it needs a closer look, you're connected to a dermatologist who already has a rich, data-backed picture of your skin, so they can catch what matters faster. Today I'm proud to share that we've raised $6M, backed by @BoostVC, @cleocapital, @Mana_Ventures, @ProfluentC and @logangreen. I'm incredibly grateful for the support of nine board-certified dermatologists who put their names on this, and for my team.  With our first clinics opening in 2026, we're getting closer to a world where no one's life comes down to a lucky catch.

It's time to get out of stealth 👋 Today, we are launching @monogram_ai and announcing our $40m seed round led by DST and Lux Capital. Monogram is the first AI app that was built around a visual interface, from the ground up. We created a technology that generates an entire user interface on the fly, in just a few seconds. Ask anything, and instead of staring at a wall of text, you get an interactive visual response.

On our Camino trek, tonight we stopped in Pontevedra, Spain. a few mins into walking around we both noted this city felt weirdly great and alive (yet not chaotic) in a way other cities just don’t Busy plazas, kids running around, people sitting outside, restaurants spilling into the streets. It felt like the city was built for humans. It wasn’t immediately clear why it was this way so I asked chat what was going on and got a great answer (paraphrased) In 1999, a new mayor made a very controversial bet: the city center should be for people, not parked cars. He moved fast. Pontevedra removed street parking, eliminated most through-traffic, and kept only the useful car access: residents, deliveries, taxis, emergencies. At first, people hated it. Store owners were absolutely furious. The obvious objection was: if customers can’t park at the curb, they won’t come. But then people actually lived with the change and really liked it The city got calmer, safer, more walkable, less polluted, and more alive. Foot traffic replaced car traffic and businesses got busier than ever. The mayor keeps getting reelected, still there 27 years later (he’s Spain’s longest serving mayor among large cities) Of all the cities we’ve visited on this trip through Europe, Pontevedra (which I had not heard of before) is the liveliest, a hidden gem! I don’t think every city should ban cars, but it seems obvious that cities get a lot better when the best public space is used for people instead of car storage.

Today, I’m excited to share that @PetualAI has raised $20 to move audit from process-heavy work to judgment. Our raise includes a $17 round led by @a16z (a16z) and a $3.2M round led by @firstround , with participation from @CowboyVC , @eladgil , the founders of Lyft, Opendoor, and more. SOX compliance and internal audit are among the most manual, resource-intensive processes in any public company. Auditors wade through hundreds of support files per control test. PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, screenshots, and more. Just to determine whether a control operated correctly. Tens of millions of hours and $8 BILLION are spent on this every year. We knew this had to change. That teams deserved to apply more of their judgment and manage risk, rather than get buried in the mechanical. That's why we built Petual. Petual brings agentic AI to SOX testing and internal audit, autonomously gathering evidence and generating auditor-ready work papers in minutes instead of hours. Our customers -- S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 companies spanning energy, infrastructure, SaaS, manufacturing, financial services, and more -- can see 68–80% efficiency gains on SOX workflows. Huge thanks to our investors, early customers like @Navan and @PoweredByEos , and the many other customers who’ve been part of this journey; and of course, our incredible team. If you're in audit or compliance and want to see Petual in action, let’s talk.

Today we're launching Accomplish FREE - powered by our new hybrid model router. Since we launched @Accomplish_ai a few weeks ago, we've been blown away by what users are building with it. Hundreds of thousands of you downloaded the app and took it for a spin, but one thing kept coming up: not everyone wants to bring their own API key just to get started. So today we're fixing that with free, built-in models - made possible by a massive shift that's happened in just the past few weeks: the rise of fully hosted open-weight models - locally on your @Windows machine with @nvidia @NVIDIAGeForce, on your Mac with @Apple MLX, or on @Accomplish_ai cloud, for FREE. Our new hybrid routing algorithm dynamically routes between cloud models and models running locally on your machine - optimizing for local execution by automatically detecting your hardware capabilities and each sub-task's complexity: coding, visuals, simple classifications - every LLM call is routed to the best model. We also brought some of our favorite enterprise features to the free tier: scheduled task dispatch, Google Workspace integration (@googledrive Docs, Sheets, Slides) via the new Google Workspace CLI, native Slack MCP connectivity, and more. Accomplish FREE is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Download, send a task - and boom, it just works with ZERO configuration! Download link in bio / first comment >>

V2 of @slashlast30days launches today. A @claudeai skill that scans Reddit, X, and the web for any topic and returns what people are actually saying, upvoting, and sharing right now. Prompt patterns. Current events. Product research. Anything. You can even use it for sales research before a call. Two big things in V2: X SEARCH IS NOW FREE. No xAI API key needed. Uses @steipete's Bird CLI. And it's WAY better than before. V1 returned 0 X posts on some trending topics. V2 finds 30+. github.com/mvanhorn/last30da…

A year ago as LA burned, I wrote about how to stop wildfire at @paulg's urging. I never shipped it – my wife went into labor that night, and my attention shifted to welcoming our daughter. One year later, we haven’t fixed wildfire. But there are five things we can do 🔥👇

Today I’m stepping off Lyft’s board and concluding my service as Chairman. I love this company, its team and our incredible community. Building Lyft with @johnzimmer has been the honor of a lifetime, and I will remain one of its most passionate supporters. I have absolute confidence in Lyft’s CEO @DavidRisher, the @Lyft team, and our Board. I’ll be cheering them on, always!

Nothing makes me prouder than seeing all the amazing ways the @lyft team thinks bigger and better every year. Thank you to @FastCompany for the recognition. Here’s to even more innovation in 2025! fastcompany.com/91270216/tra…

Databricks signed a downtown lease and committed to hosting Data + AI Summit in SF through 2030, investing over $1B in the city. After considering Vegas, they’ve chosen to keep the conference here. We will keep working with business to drive our comeback! sfchronicle.com/sf/article/d…

This man opened everyone’s eyes to how we can reshape our cities, and I and many generations of people are forever in debt for his vision for a brighter and cleaner future. May he rest in eternal peace.

Kamala Harris is running with a pro business, tech, and deregulation agenda.

I’m excited to be joining the Autotech team!

Biden has done more to address climate change than any President before him. The IRA alone is expected to cut 21 billion tons of planet-warming pollution by 2050. And it's helping the US economy grow faster than any developed country. distilled.earth/p/what-ameri…

Really proud that @Lyft will lead in the detection and prevention of human trafficking. One million drivers on our platform can now be part of the solution. Thanks to @DHSgov and @SecMayorkas for the initiative.

We could easily stop climate change right now if we wanted to For example, we could pause global warming with 100x less money than countries pledged in the recent UN's COP28 If we don't do it, it's just because we don't really want to Here's how to do it in 3 steps 🧵:
