When companies start going public at scale, it tells you something about risk appetite, sector sentiment, and where capital is headed next. Both founders and investors need to know how to read the room.

Marketing at scale has always required either a very large team or a willingness to accept inconsistency.  @heyjasperai is removing that tradeoff. The platform connects agents, content pipelines, and brand governance into one workspace so teams can execute campaigns and produce content without the overhead that used to come with it.

No gatekeeping or unnecessary complexity. Just the market, made accessible. Backed by Y Combinator, Grupo Bancolombia, and Harvard, Trii has built the kind of institutional support that reflects both the scale of the opportunity and the seriousness of the execution.

Meet Matt Greenleaf, Founding Operating Partner at MAGIC Fund. Shortly after graduating from San Francisco State University, Matt joined MAGIC in 2017 as one of its earliest architects, helping shape the fund’s portfolio and philosophy: that the best early-stage capital comes from people who have been in the room where things are built. That philosophy wasn’t just talk because in 2023, Matt co-founded Bridle, an all-in-one equine management platform. He also served as Head of Growth and Ops at DoNotPay, an AI-driven legal tech company.  He has also mentored the next generation of founders through 500 Global and Leapgap, the first startup accelerator built specifically for high school entrepreneurs. His portfolio at MAGIC reflects a range of Fintech and Deeptech. Kiwibot, the sidewalk robotics company now operating across 30 US university campuses, Rollfi, the embedded payroll and benefits platform acquired by Priority Technology, Reelables, building smart label technology for supply chain visibility, Somos Internet, Volantis, Void Pet, Schemata, and many others.

What ties the portfolio together is a consistent bet on founders who understand the operational depth their problems require, and who have the resilience to build before the conditions are comfortable. That is the kind of investor Matt is, because it is the kind of builder he has been. MAGIC is proud to have him at the table.
