Congratulations to @CTurlica and the entire @maintainx team on their acquisition by @autodesk. JEDI was fortunate to back MaintainX both directly and through @jake_zeller Powerset 3.0 Fund, after the opportunity was introduced by our friends at Amity Ventures, @CJ_Reim and Patrick Yang. A reminder that great outcomes in VC are often built on trusted relationships and long-term partnerships. A fantastic outcome for everyone involved. Exceptional founders build exceptional companies. Proud to have been part of the journey. Engineering software maker #Autodesk has agreed to buy #MaintainX, a firm focused on maintenance tools bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Proud Powerset backer since day one & long-time supporter of @PowersetRes & @jake_zeller. Very impressed by their new open-source GitHub data layer: 400k active repos with contributors, activity, stars & metadata. Query via MCP/AI or DuckDB SQL for top talent by skills, location, real contributions and no credentials needed. Game changer for founders. #Powerset #OpenSource #GitHub #DevTools #DataEngineering #AItools

لماذا تشعر أن بعض الكلمات ثقيلة على اللسان؟ الحروف المفخّمة والمجهورة تحتاج جهدًا عضليًّا أكبر عند النطق. ما أثقل كلمة #عربية برأيك؟

@rabois you holding up okay ?

6 مارس 2024 يصادف اليوم ذكرى وفاة رجل الأعمال والمستكشف العلمي محمد عبدالرحمن الشارخ عن عمر ناهز 82 عام. يعتبر الراحل مؤسس شركة صخر لبرامج الحاسوب عام 1982 وانتشر آنذاك أول جهاز كمبيوتر باسم صخر. وينسب إليه الفضل في إدخال اللغة العربية إلى الحواسيب لأول مرة في التاريخ. حصل على 3 براءات اختراع من الولايات المتحدة وقام بتطوير برنامج القرآن الكريم وكتب الحديث للحاسوب عام 1985. وفي عام 2019 طرح معجم معاصر للغة العربية على الانترنت بشكل مجاني ويحتوي على 125 ألف معنى وتركيب.

في اليوم الوطني لدولة #الكويت، نُجدّد الاعتزاز بالهوية، واللغة التي حملت التاريخ وستبقى عنوان الانتماء. كل عام والكويت بخير

الدكتور بندر الغميز: الراحل محمد الشارخ مؤسس «صخر» رجل عظيم ومدرسة، وكان غيورًا على اللغة العربية.

We dumped GitHub into DuckLake. Here’s what we found: • Growth rate of new repos doubled in 2025 • Microsoft leads Big Tech in repo creation, contrary to narrative the company is closed • a16z captured nearly as much OSS value as all other early-stage VCs combined More below

Last week at the Kamco Invest & Burgan Bank 2026 Investment Conference in Kuwait, we had a timely and substantive discussion with Jake Zeller (Powerset), Patrick Yang (Amity Ventures), and Omar Darwazah (AAF Management) on where venture and private markets are heading next. What stood out most from the conversation is how clearly the market is shifting under our feet. One of the strongest points raised on stage, which Omar articulated well in his recent post, is that AI is breaking software moats, but not all of them. The pressure on SaaS is real. Barriers to entry are falling, internal tools are replacing point solutions, and weak products will get compressed. At the same time, Jake added that companies with regulatory depth, mission-critical workflows, and real infrastructure embedded in customer operations are becoming more durable, not less. We also discussed with Patrick how liquidity is evolving in private markets. Founders are staying private longer. Secondaries are becoming a meaningful liquidity mechanism. Capital is concentrating around a small number of frontier technology leaders, while a long tail of profitable, capital-efficient businesses is quietly forming beneath them. The result is not just concentration of outcomes, but dispersion, and that changes how portfolios need to be constructed. Beyond AI as a product layer, Jake spent time on AI as an investing layer. How data, signal extraction, and tooling are reshaping fund formation, deployment strategy, and decision-making. The edge going forward will not come from access alone, but from disciplined signal selection in a noisier, faster market, and knowing where human judgment still clearly outperforms algorithms. From The JEDI Fund perspective, this discussion reflected our own evolution. After years of building an emerging manager platform, the focus is increasingly on selectively leaning into high-conviction direct opportunities where signal quality, access, and strategic alignment converge. The bar is higher than the last cycle, but the opportunity set is more interesting. The engagement from partners, investors, and operators in the room confirmed that these questions are not theoretical. Everyone is navigating the same structural shifts in real time. Strong discussion with Jake, Patrick, and Omar, and well timed by Kamco Invest and Burgan Bank as the market enters a new phase of growth investing. AI is expanding the addressable market for software, services, and infrastructure in ways that fundamentally reset how we think about scale, defensibility, and long-term value creation. This is the start of a very different cycle for venture and private markets. #VentureCapital #PrivateMarkets #ArtificialIntelligence #SaaS #TechInvest #FahadAlSharekh youtu.be/_XHPv2T2cVw?si=XMPn…
