Guy just decided to re-invent how a venture capital allocates capital and crushes it every day, wtf.
The @matcapvc portfolio is now 14 companies strong. It includes 9 AZ companies & 5 internet native companies. 106 to go 🚀. If you are exceptionally ambitious, relentless, and resourceful, please shoot me a DM :)

wtf is this a replacement for YC?
100 unique firms and 15 angels have taken intros to MatCap portfolio companies so far in 2026. Thankful to my own investors for the chance to pioneer a new category in the funding stack. Here's to the next 100!

There are lots of fundraising advisors out there. There is only one who works for equity, only. Only one who never charges fees. Only one who will never lower your runway to fund their existence. Only one who will will grind for years for no "ask". There is only one MatCap.

Truly wild, after I clocked off last night with 25k downloads - literally not even 12 hours later and already hit 30k downloads. 🚀

I run a social capital (SC) bank. When I make an intro request that gets denied, I lose a little SC. Every time I make an intro that goes well, I get a deposit of SC. Every time someone I make intros for does good things in the world, I get a bigger deposit. Goal = don't default.

Looking to add a few more to this list of firms who take intros from MatCap. Any VC looking to get some alpha? I live in Arizona, so you can be sure you are gunna get some things you aren't already seeing. If it's good enough for these firms, it's probably good enough for you :)

We need open weight models yes, but also private ways to use them Without private inference and private agentic operating systems Open weight inference has the exact same spyware potential for the infra provider as closed weight models Open source and ai privacy must be tightly coupled
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models. images.nvidia.com/pdf/Open-W…

TL;DR - looks like lots of claude artificts containing sensitive data are now easily discoverable Yet another reason to move your AI work to a private system ESPECIALLY for companies

brb, coming for YC's ass.
It takes 15 steps to take a founder from accepted into MatCap to legally onboarding them. Before today, that onboarding took 1-2 months and involved a third party. Thanks to Claude, @goodwinlaw, and a lot of coffee, it takes less than 30 minutes now. God bless.

This guy gets it.
Replying to @Mat_Sherman
When grown-ups buy a house, there’s SO much homework. Like a whole mountain of papers, and everybody has to sign stuff and call people a hundred times and it takes forever and ever. But Uncle Garrett built a robot friend who does ALL the homework! The robot never gets sleepy and never forgets anything, not even once. So now the people just get their keys and go live in their house. The end.
