Congrats on the launch! One of the coolest models for a non-profit + fund I've seen

Halcyon was instrumental in helping Transluce get off the ground, and Mike has been a great partner ever since! I definitely recommend them if you are founding an impact-focused org.

Halcyon Futures is directly responsible for the existence of the Golden Gate Institute for AI, having brought me together with co-founder @TarenSK (not to mention lots of other support). Thank you Mike + Shelby, and congratulations on the launch of Halcyon Ventures!

Congrats to @MikeMcCormick_ & the @HalcyonFutures team! I attended a ~20-person retreat last year and got huge value from it – I'm still in regular contact with at least 6 people I met there If you're working on a relevant project – or want to – connect with Mike 👇

So proud of @MikeMcCormick_ and team. I personally credit Mike for plucking me out of my cozy life and throwing me into chaos to make a difference in this world. I am excited to see everything Halcyon can do with talent and capital.
