A week ago today, I hosted 30 founders and techno wizards for a seated, full-course dinner preceded by a happy hour in Amsterdam. The dinner was made possible by Jan Jongboom, Co-Founder and CTO of @EdgeImpulse The next event will be announced shortly. dutchtechx.com/about

Unbelievable!!! grug started as a funny joke over the weekend but quickly grew to become one of the most fun things @michelelings and I built this past year. To win an Apple Design Award is truly a dream come true since we started working together 15 years ago. Speechless...

We're launching the European Student Robotics Association (ESRA, @esra_robotics) (13 universities, 8 countries, 2.5k members)! We’re young, driven and together we’re tackling the European fragmentation problem heads on. Who are we? - ETH Robotics Club (Zürich) @ethroboticsclub - RoboTUM (Münich) - EPFL AI Team (Lausanne) @epflaiteam - Unaite (Paris) - Team Polar (Eindhoven) - TU Wien Robotics Club (Vienna) - Robotics Collective (Aachen) @robocollectiv - KTH AI Society (Stockholm) @KTHAISociety - Delft Robotics Student Association - KN CybAiR (Poznan) - AEA Polimi (Milan) What do we do? → Pan-European robotics competitions → Cross-border technical project collaborations → Coordinated access to funding opportunities across Europe And this is just the beginning! Thanks @andreasklinger, @lukas_m_ziegler and @IlirAliu_ for helping us spread the word :)

„Juist immigranten staan vaak aan de wieg van succesvolle startups. Strenge immigratieregels worden gezien als een rem op innovatie.” - @obinkhorst @telegraaf Read the rest here: telegraaf.nl/financieel/onde…

Binkhorst tegen Emerce: “Het is ruimschoots een verdubbeling ten opzichte van 2023, toen er 231 miljoen werd opgehaald door zeven bedrijven, en een lichte daling ten opzichte van 2024, toen er 543 miljoen werd opgehaald...” emerce.nl/nieuws/nederlandse…

"Gezien @obinkhorst lange staat van dienst als oliemannetje tussen de Amerikaanse investeerders en Nederlandse startups is het begrijpelijk dat hij ambitieuze founders adviseert niet te lang in Nederland te blijven hangen." mtsprout.nl/groei/deze-neder… - @mtsprout_nl

This reboot of the opening sequence to HBO's Silicon Valley by @mprado is a banger

2026 is going to be wild

Everyone seems to have a different definition of what an AI agent is. Let’s define it in the context of building with LLMs. An AI agent is a system that can: 1. Make dynamic decisions about information flow 2. Maintain state across multiple interactions 3. Use tools adaptively 4. Modify their approach based on results That means, AI agents need all the relevant information about past interactions, the available tools, tool results, and more to make the right decisions.

Move to San Francisco; go into debt if you have to.

I always wanted a pen that tracked everything I ever wrote down So we built one

"De trip, georganiseerd door @obinkhorst van netwerkplatform @dutchtechx, leidde langs tien investeringsfondsen, waaronder Redpoint Ventures. Een fonds dat $8 miljard aan kapitaal beheert en heeft geïnvesteerd in bedrijven als Netflix en Stripe." @telegraaf

‘De vestiging van het Fonds in Nederland draagt bij aan de beeldvorming...’ 🤣

we are live! you can now (for free!) check your brand's presence in the most popular AI models this is different from the promptwatch main platform, where you can monitor the real chatgpt user interface but this is great to see how well your brand is stored in the training data
