A founder today asked me "how early do you invest?" Early stage VC funds can invest:. Pre-Hockey Stick ("not early").Pre-Revenue ("early").Pre-Product ("really early").Pre-Powerpoint ("crazy early"). We are crazy early investors @DecibelVC - there is no such thing as "too early".

The biggest advantage of a big firm is its capacity to deploy capital towards something that is obviously working. The biggest advantage of a small firm is its ability to align around a founder or idea that is not yet obvious.

What we really need are investors with conviction about their weird taste, pursuing weird strategies, and supporting founders pursuing weird but potentially magical things. Couple that with professional excellence and you get a potentially winning combination.

(1/5) AI is eating search. It will also eat web browsing along the way. ChatGPT handles 2.5B prompts/day and is on track to match Google's daily searches by end of 2026. How do we prep every website for AI-driven search + "headless" browsing?
