knowing Brie, I suspect this will be a killer tome.
I'm heads down writing my book from ambitious early career operators this week. if you are one such ambitious early career operator, what would you like me to write about?.

On a personal note:. We founded Density because we believed if you can measure the world, you can make it better . That people value privacy,. And that there isn't tech that does both measurement and privacy well. Even 11 years later. Homes are an important part of that ambition.

Why healthcare? Some stats:. > 93% of Americans over 65 want to "age in place" (term of art for their home). > 44% of their children live more than hour away and 25% live in a different state. > Of the 54 million aging Americans only 1.4 million are in an assisted facility.

Our radar sensor "Waffle" has some unique characteristics that make it ideal for residences and facilities. Waffle is low cost and self-installable. It has an award winning, friendly design. And lastly, customers choose us because of the accuracy and anonymity of our products

I think @LongJourneyVC is singular in its creativity. especially around events.
I rented out a movie theater and instead of screening a film, hosted a "Music Videos That Shaped Your Life" experience. 8 people shared a song and why it was life-shaping. We laughed. We cried. We sang. We danced. Recipe (why + how I designed it) below.

it takes courage to squint and nod.
People are confused by our "second believer" mission at @LongJourneyVC. Starting a company is lonely. There's this burning belief in something only you can see. What's needed isn't skepticism—it's someone with the curiosity to stand beside you and see what you see.

I'm convinced an offline LLM will be the first model you interact (new from google). Also given the threat to google's search, it's a great opportunity for Google to push back / threaten OpenAI and Anthropic's business models
