So pumped for Connor, Andrew, and team. Fun fact: Speak is a standout company that @andrewchen and I invested in together when we ran our angel fund together back in 2017! I can't wait to see the next decade unfold for Speak.
1/ Excited to announce Speak has raised a $78m Series C from @Accel at a $1b valuation!. It' a huge milestone for us and continued validation of our founding idea: AI would fundamentally transform learning. 8 years later, we’re well on our way and believe this more than ever. 🧵

Andrew, Connor, and the Speak team have been focusing on AI speech to speech since 2017 when @andrewchen and I first invested in them. It is amazing to see where they’ve taken the product and to dream of everything to come. #openai.
We’ve been working closely with OpenAI for the past few months to test the new Realtime API. I’m excited to share some thoughts on the best way to productize speech-to-speech for language learning, and announce the first thing we’ve built here, Live Roleplays. 🧵

Long Articles transformed into short conversations are 10x easier to consume. Convinced some of it is because humans are social animals so conversational expression of key concepts is just easier to absorb.
And we're live! Recast is on the App Store! We'd love your feedback on the content. Go listen to a couple, maybe convert a few of your own and tell us what you like and don't like.

I've long wondered who would crack the code on building an english language learning system that scales. .
1/ Excited to share that Speak raised a $27M Series B, led by the @OpenAI Startup Fund! We're on a mission to make learning a language 10x easier through AI. This partnership greatly accelerates that mission:.

100%, @BigMekaStyle!. The biggest career rewards are to either make what the company sells OR sell what the company makes!.
I owe my career in Venture to a sales gig I took on a whim @stripe. I think the primary jobs in tech are building a product and getting it in the hands of customers. If you're non technical, def consider the sales route :).

Unlike Ryan I'm a big fan of making mistakes and seem to repeat them. Probably my "Learn by Doing" college motto. Luckily there are great articles like this for everyone else! :).
The latest edition of Signature Block is all about first-time fund manager flubs. 🤦🏼♂️. . I'm a big fan of learning from other peoples' mistakes so I don't repeat them. hopefully.
