2AM plumber booked, 9AM tornado hits, routine maintenance pushed so emergencies slot first, all w/o humans. Peak or slow season Netic's the 24/7 revenue engine for America’s essential services . Proud to back @melisatokmak @Netic_AI team building for America's backbone.
After it took days to book an HVAC appointment in the sweltering heat, I built @Netic_AI: the AI revenue engine for businesses that keep America running. Silicon Valley ignored essential services for too long, so we raised $20m from @foundersfund, @greylock, @mavolpi to fix it.

You can’t solve the trust problem online without solving identity. Proud of @worldcoin team and the iconic orb in its rightful place, on the cover of @TIME.

Policy, urgency, execution. That’s the new blueprint. @isaiah_p_taylor and @GovCox just announced @valaratomics X Utah July 4th 2026. A 250th birthday gift for American energy.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨. A few minutes ago, Governor @GovCox and I announced LIVE on Bloomberg that Valar Atomics and the State of Utah are partnering to meet President Trump’s challenge to turn on an advanced reactor on American soil by July 4, 2026, America’s 250th birthday.

When an industry’s drowning in paperwork you don’t throw more bodies at the problem. When it’s heavily regulated you can’t rip out the workflow . You build @FiledHQ . Proud to back @oelry and Filed team already giving tax pros 3x more leverage without breaking what works.
We decided to help tax pros actually enjoy tax season. Not survive it. Not dread it. Enjoy it.A crazy idea? Maybe.Until it worked 👇
