Hack VC is still investing, actually more aggressively than ever. Come find us.

Palo Alto Networks used Anthropic’s Mythos to find more than two dozen critical vulnerabilities in about three weeks. The test also showed companies may need much bigger AI security budgets. Read more: thein.fo/4vra47r

AI agents are starting to move real money. The problem: there’s still no independent check between what an agent intends to do and what actually gets executed. Today, that changes. We're Nava, and today we’re coming out of stealth with an $8.3M seed round from @polychain, @archetypevc, @hack_vc, @FalconXGlobal, and @seedclub / @seedclubvc to build the trust infrastructure the agent economy is missing.

If Saylor hadn’t been hopeless and on the verge of bk he wouldn’t have bought BTC If Kanye hadn’t crashed out he couldn’t redeem himself If Trump hadn’t been deplatformed and shot at he wouldn’t have won The world can take away your youth. Your success. Your access. It can cancel you. Bankrupt you. Destroy your health. Or even try to kill you. It can seem hopeless But if you can wake up. You can keep going and fight. It’s not “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” It’s that when you’re stripped down to nothing you truly understand what it means to leave nothing on the table. You can go to a brink that other people can’t fathom. The truth is the world is cruel and it crushes a lot of people. And when you do get up it means something to the people who were left behind and couldn’t manage it Deep down we want to live in a world where redemption is possible. And that belief is fuel when you decide to draw a line in the sand and keep going. Trump is doing so much crime in office he’s got to pardon everyone. Kanye is still insane. Saylor is running increasingly complex and strange financial games. It’s not morality that keeps people engaged with these men. And it’s not what makes them great. It’s that - so many ppl were in the same place as they were at their lows - and at some basic level we want to believe it’s possible to still win without the blessing of the machine that destroyed us And it is. It’s not pretty and it’s not the same the second time. You do things you’d never have considered before. What you lack in energy and optimism you make up for in the simple brutality of having seen the depths and come back So see it clearly and don’t flinch from it. Both can be true. Redemption is possible. And when you rise again you won’t recognize yourself

The shift in the crypto fundraising landscape the past 6 months has been insane. Crypto VCs used to have to constantly be networking/writing/podcasting/going on spaces/promoting your thesis/getting on 10 deal flow calls a week, to get into good deals...now it's literally enough to just have capital to write checks. Deals are being pushed rather than dug out. Inbound if people know you have money is at an all-time high. Most firms are either 1) Out of money 2) Moved to Series A and beyond or 3) Fundraising (with no success). Deals that used to close in 2-3 weeks now close in 2-3 months. Firms with questionable business models or copy pasta of the latest trend are getting zero primary or follow-on funding (Good news!). There are now realistically <20 firms writing checks in pre-seed/seed. VCs basically have the pick of any deal they want, with more time to do DD. IMHO 25/26 are going to be historic vintages for those who stick around.

let me tell you about my LIFE dream/plan: - make around $20 million more. liquid cash, not some illiquid equity valuation - then i say goodbye to "working for money", change my investment strategy from "aggressive growth" to "capital preservation", 1-2 mil passive income annually, tax optimised - buy a beautiful headquarters somewhere in nature but close to a large city i like. the mansion below costs $1.6 mil and has its own huge garden, a private river, dozen of rooms, etc., so it’s basically free. the layoffs from ai automation will lead to a further collapse of real estate prices and i will get a fantastic bargain for a truly majestic mansion for sub $8 mil - convince 5 - 10 of my close friends to also get a place next to me, we build our own community with our own produce, animals, etc. raise family like a small village, but super rich with access to the best technology and medicine while being mostly offline and close to nature for most of life - spend most of the year in headquarter doing physical work like wood works, art, photography, writing, etc and also travel the world for adventures ted k was right
