MORE HUMAN

Definitely a 'pinch me' moment to see @blockitAI on the Nasdaq tower. Our time agent is scaling rapidly through virality. We are looking for exceptional infra product engineers to help us solve the technical challenges we are facing on the frontier -- context engineering, multiplayer agent orchestration, seeded evals, long-horizon memory, steerability, and many more. The calendar is the last untouched social network -- a graph of who we know and how well we know them. We're building the agent that can finally traverse it. Come build it with us!

@bscholl, CEO of @BoomSupersonic accepted the 2026 AIAA Reed Aeronautics Award at #AIAAAviation ✈️️ and shared behind-the-scenes on XB-1, solving the sonic boom & the return of supersonic flight. After the stage: meeting future aerospace engineers at the Student Lounge 🤝

Our goal at Infinite Machine is to build new kinds of tools in the physical world that unlock human capabilities. We’re very excited to announce a collaboration between Infinite Machine and NYU's Center for Robotics and Embodied Intelligence. We're exploring alongside two leaders in the field. Chris Clark, an Industry Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, spent the last eight years at Apple leading robotics and autonomous systems research, and before that was the first engineering hire at Kiva Systems. Ludovic Righetti, the Glenn Y. Louie Professor and co-director of the Center, leads the Machines in Motion Laboratory, where his work on planning, control, and learning for autonomous robots has shaped the field for over a decade. The advent of physical AI and robotics will change the world dramatically, and we are very excited to deepen our competency building smart, well-designed products that give people superpowers. What we’ve built and learned with electric vehicles translates directly this new frontier. We’ll share more as we continue to learn and explore together!

bending spoons is the spacex of thoma bravos

Bending Spoons has just filed for a US IPO. In the first 3 months of this year it recorded $600m of revenue and $27.5m of profit. The Italian company is known for buying smaller, struggling tech companies and turning them into cash generating businesses. It's acquired AOL, Vimeo, Hopin, WeTransfer and Evernote as well as others. Last year it announced raising $270m at an $11bn valuation, a day after announcing $2.8bn in debt financing. Today it filed to IPO in the US under the symbol BSP! This is HUGE as it's one of the first European companies taking advantage of the open IPO window. Who is next?

While most robotics companies raise $$$ pre launch, the @weaverobotics team went from sketches to active robots in homes & SMBs in 2 years with $5M in funding:

Life hack: use @blockitAI

All great things start with shitty little sketches. You have to get your ideas out on some canvas in some form to see at a high level and see what holds and what doesn’t. This was us in 2024.

The best AI agent for scheduling is @blockitAI They are 2nd to none. Super reliable, fast, and easy to use. Would highly recommend to all founders. Kudos @kaiskhimji

Build Supersonic Ep 3: a tour of the fully-assembled Symphony high pressure turbine and deep-dive our 3D-printed HPT blades

In 2018, I left my stable job to start Photoroom with @EliotAndres The bet was simple: AI was going to change software, and image editing in particular, so much that it needed new, ai first, products. Quickly, we also discovered that as commerce is moving online, businesses are being judged by their imagery. Europe wasn't the obvious place to build an AI company. Capital was harder. Distribution was fragmented. That pressure made us better, international from day 0. It forced us to ship faster, and build for real users: side-hustlers on mobile, SMBs on the web, enterprises like Depop, Decathlon, Amazon, and DoorDash via API. Photoroom is the world leader AI visuals for commerce. #1 in AI product-fidelity globally. We can build a global leader from Europe. We are doing it like Mistral , ElevenLabs , Lovable or Wayve Paris was Photoroom’s first base and is now its biggest hub: it’s a truly global city that brings together international talent from more than 30 nationalities. Thank you @balderton and Bernard Liautaud for your trust and believing in all of these. Proud to be part of this campaign. #BuiltInEurope #AI #Commerce #Entrepreneurship #Photoroom

in my wearable era

Starcloud just became the fastest YC company ever to a $1B valuation after Demo Day. 17 months. Building data centers in orbit. The hardest possible problem, the fastest possible ascent. This is what we should be building.

Guys I'm starting a YT channel. Here's a teaser

Helpful, bashful home robots Coming soon

Board is my favorite new consumer product in years. Truly delightful company, excited to have Brynn on the show today!

Very happy that @mignano and @usv agree with my kids that @boardisfun, leading their $20M Series A :) 85% of Boards are played an average of 30 sessions/month, most adopt new games at launch... and soon families will be able to prompt their own games!
