I met Tim in the early days of SoundCloud. His endless creativity, good humour & good will made a real impression on me. I don't usually post this sort of thing, but Tim has had a series of bad news and his sister is running a Gofundme to support his family. Please take a look.

This is from Tim’s sister Anna. Tim’s cancer treatment and knock-on collapse of his business Endlesss have plunged his family into crisis. I’ve started a Gofundme for them Donations and retweets are hugely appreciated ā¤ļøšŸ™.

iv) I'm still super bullish on the category and the device. I'm also realistic with timeframes (and take the long view). But now is a critical time for Apple, to not mess this up with both existing and new devs. I'm hoping that WWDC is a key milestone that will catalyze things.

iii) the US restriction is really hampering things both in terms of distribution & development for the device. I had a portfolio company reach out to borrow my headset because they'd love to build an AVP demo (for their currently non-VR product) but don't have easy access to one.

ii) it's also definitely true that there is a chicken & egg problem. There are so many interesting areas that founders/devs could build in today. A lot more would be building for VisionOS if they had more certainty on how distribution and availability is likely to ramp up.

Interesting graph showing the spike and then decline of new VisionOS apps. i) Apple need to up their efforts to court existing VR developers. A number of our portfolio companies actively want to port or develop for the device. But there's not much support or contact. .

This is crazy:.New Vision Pro app releases have plummeted. We always talk about the "chicken or the egg" problem for XR apps & hardware. it does not appear that the AVP v1 (aka dev kit) has ignited the XR app ecosystem as we might have hoped

Initiatives like the Deep Tech Demo day are key to getting the next gen of computing funded! And so much more besides: space, robotics, new materials. No incremental B2B SaaS here. I'm impressed by the ambition of founders Boost curate for it. Thanks! šŸ™.

Watching three @FOVventures founders pitching at the @BoostVC deep tech demo day. It felt fitting that @prajahalme and I should watch together virtually, in mixed reality, on the day that Apple launched their new 'Spatial Personas' /cc @GusDomel @MaddieCallander @AdamDraper
