Borrowing this entire post from the one and only @sasyrae… Next week at #NYTechWeek I'm going full Bodega Baddie. @Flybridge, in partnership with @awscloud, is hosting "Pitch VCs, Free BECs," a full Bodega takeover. It's time we add some authentic NY vibes to TECH WEEK by a16z! If you're a founder, you'll have the chance to pitch early-stage investors from Flybridge, @LaconiaCapital, MGV.VC, @Techstars, @NextWaveNYC, and @differentialvc a few more. Here's the link to RSVP Apply to Pitch: partiful.com/e/eaZmQ8Q59gAVM… Not in pitch mode? Come by and grab a FREE Bacon, Egg, & Cheese, Chopped Cheese, or whatever your Bodega fave is. We'll be giving out $10 vouchers to support our local bodega from 8 AM - 12 PM (or until we run out!). We're also dropping some limited-edition summer swag that you definitely want to get your hands on. S/O to everyone who made this possible! Founder Pro-Tip: Check out each participating firm's thesis and make sure your company aligns when you apply. Investor match notifications will be distributed the morning of June 2 :)

If building is no longer the hard part, what is? Talking through it at Bubble HQ June 3rd with @ezragershanok58 (co-founder of @liveohana_ai), @dj (Venture Partner at @flybridge), and a curated group of founders and insiders during #NYTechWeek. Join us!! partiful.com/e/dJh4IgxuEgjfc…

We had an incredible #bostechweek kickoff with @MayorWu, @a16z's @Tocelot, Hubspot co-founder @bhalligan, MA Secretary of EOED @epaley, @blitzyai's Brian Elliott, 7AI's @liordiv & @Lovable's @Kimwalsh7! Many thanks to @klaviyo @goodwinlaw @citrincooperman @rhobusiness @cartainc

The future of Boston is looking very bright as we hear from our Titans of Tomorrow panelists building Boston's hottest new unicorns: @blitzyai's Brian Elliott, 7AI's @liordiv and @Lovable's @Kimwalsh7. Great convo on building in Boston, led by our very own @chazard #bostechweek

We engaged Titans of Tech in a juicy convo with @bussgang: Hubspot co-founder @bhalligan (who recently ruffled feathers criticizing the Boston tech scene) in contrast with MA Secretary of the Executive Office of Economic Development @epaley, beating the Boston drum #bostechweek

It's not #BosTechWeek unless @a16z is there - thank you @Tocelot for making it official! "Coming back to Boston reminded me of everything that makes the city great: world-class universities, deep technical talent, entrepreneurial hubs across software, robotics, bio hardware..."

It's a pleasure to kick off #BosTechWeek with remarks from none other than Boston @mayorwu! She shared 3 reasons why Boston is special: 1) Boston is in it to change the world 2) We are in it to ensure that Boston can be a home for everyone 3) We are in it to win it!

If you’re a tech reporter looking for your angle on the DOW file drop on UAPs (aka UFOs) - what you’re looking for is enigmalabs.io and its millions of crowd-sourced sightings

We at @Flybridge couldn't be more excited to be on this journey with Brian, Sid, and the entire @blitzyai team. They've created a truly generational company and have developed technology that's unparalleled. In this age of AI, so many things are simply promotable into existence, but what Sid and Brian have built is an N of one. Let's f**king go! 🚀 🤖

“AI has changed everything about building, but some things haven’t changed… In consumer and prosumer, the generic product is easy to build. The differentiated, sticky product is still hard to build.” - @melodykoh at @lynx_collective AI Frontier Summit

this is the best guide for startups making an announcement that i've ever read @allisonbraley

. @limy_ai just came out of stealth with a $10M round. This is our second deal of the year with a16z @speedrun. I couldn't be more excited @flybridge got to lead with one. Right now, every major brand is quietly panicking about what happens when a customer asks an AI for feedback about a product or business. For twenty years, we’ve had a clear playbook for how to portray brands on the internet. But today, if you ask an LLM to find the "best CRM for a small team," the logic behind that answer is a black box. You can’t buy an ad or optimize a keyword to fix it. Limy is building the infrastructure that gives Fortune 100 companies visibility into how these models see them. They’re helping brands understand why they’re being recommended and, more importantly, how to actually influence those outcomes. It’s the first time I’ve seen a team build a real, data-driven way to navigate the shift toward an internet run by AI agents. If you’re managing a brand or a marketing team and feel like you're flying blind in this new world, you should really see what they’ve built. We're starting to open up the platform for more companies to get under the hood and see their own data. Drop a comment or send me a note if you're interested in giving it a test run 👇

Happy @BitGo IPO Day to all who celebrate! Back in the day, we at @LCVentures were the first VC firm focused on Bitcoin startups. In 2014, we discussed wallet providers, believed @mikebelshe would win, and invested in his seed round. And he did! Congrats @mikebelshe & team!!

👋 We’ve been working on something new & we’re finally ready to let people play with it. It’s an “app for AirPods” called BeeBot – think of it like a social city guide emceed by an AI-powered radio DJ. I wrote a giant blog post (manifesto!) about it here: dens.medium.com/say-hello-to…

We doubled our users last month (and this month too)💅 PS: july batch sold out between filming and posting this so next chance to join is october

It's only a matter of time before someone gets engaged to their AI partner and causes a huge rift in the family bc their parents are just too old-fashioned to accept an AI in-law and refuses to attend the wedding...
