Hardware is hard. Opal knows how to deliver magical experiences.

Fort Poor Wording

Grateful.

This week, @cerebras IPO'd in one of the largest technology IPOs in history. We didn't get here alone. There are many people and companies to thank. To our families. It is not easy to be married to someone trying to build a company. The hours are long and so are the years. Their patience knew no bounds. To our team. They bet big chunks of their careers on 5 guys who said we could solve a problem nobody had solved in 75 years. There were 18 months between 2017 and 2019 when we couldn't make a single chip work. We were burning $8M a month. Every six weeks we'd sit with our board and say: not yet. Not yet. Not yet. The team stayed steady. They solved problems nobody else could. When our first wafer worked in August 2019, the technology was solved. But it was still 2019. OpenAI was nascent. There was no Anthropic. AI was still a parlor trick. Then the models got good enough to be useful. In some areas, necessary. And when something becomes useful, speed is everything. Our business exploded. To our early investors - @benchmark, @FoundationCap, @EclipseVentures, @coatuemgmt, @AltimeterCap and many more - whose support never wavered through years of challenges. To TSMC, who agreed to work with us when we were a 40-person team with big ideas. To our earliest customers - Argonne, Sandia, GSK - who bet on us when the product was raw and the roadmap unproven. To Peng at G42, their Chairman, and the leadership of the UAE, who believed in us when many people were afraid. And to many others not mentioned who contributed in ways large and small. We say thank you. Today starts a new chapter for us. But it is still, just the beginning. Photo Credit: @Nasdaq / Vanja Savic

Grateful to be an angel in @cerebras, and much gratitude to the amazing @ericvishria who introduced it to me as “engineering marvel”. Congrats to @andrewdfeldman and team, and thanks for all the hard work!

I’m so happy to share that we’ve closed Wisdom Ventures Fund II and raised $77.7m (against our target of $50m.) WSJ Coverage: lnkd.in/gJ7Ncka4 Press Release: lnkd.in/gtHaqpiM Incredibly grateful to my partners - Cecily Mak, Soren Gordhamer, Zoe Rogers, Vivek Murthy, Ruchika Sikri, Diego Perez, and Jack Kornfield. What an amazing and unexpected constellation of heart, mind and soul.  Privileged to be on this ride together.

For anyone in Boston / Cambridge next week... Go see design.mit.edu/events/genera… and meet Tony, Megan and Sloo... Fantastic tale, beautifully told. Count the innumerable luminaries you see and hear mentioned... Learn the many lessons!

Grep just achieved SOTA on the three major deep research benchmarks, beating Perplexity, Google, Nvidia, OpenAI, and Anthropic. We're a two-person founding team.

BREAKING: Moda by @trymoda is #1 on Slides Arena with an Elo of 1270! Moda is in the same performance band as Claude Opus 4.6 Powerpoint by @AnthropicAI Huge congrats to the team on the launch!

I'm excited to back @anvisha a second time as she builds Moda. In a short time, this team has built an expansive product with a broad customer base from all over the world. It's time for design to be democratized. Congrats on the launch!

Absolutely incredible team behind this technology...

Jobs called computers "bicycles for the mind" -- tools we could shape to our will. But they never were. Until now. Every morning an agent preps me for my day -- calendar, news, last 24hrs of Slack -- in a personal podcast. I made it by asking. Same for hundreds of other things. Launching @dreamer in beta today. That 🧠 bicycle, finally. dreamer.com

Many friends have asked how they can see Eno. Five upcoming (streaming) screenings! chanceoperations.com/events

Thrilled to share that former Surgeon General Dr. @vivek_murthy is joining Wisdom Ventures! wisdomventures.fund/articles…

Had a fantastic conversation with @ryanlpeterman about #Engleadership, #career growth, and what we're building at /dev/agents. We covered everything from scaling from IC to VP at Google, to my time as CTO at Stripe, to why the world needs a new operating system for AI agents. Ryan's questions really got to the heart of what makes engineering teams and products successful—especially around building teams and creating the environment where people can do their best work. One theme that kept coming up: the magic of tight feedback loops and systems thinking. Whether you're debugging code, building a team, or designing the future of human-AI interaction, the best experiences happen when you can iterate and see results immediately. Watch it inline below!

Congrats to @AppliedInt, one of two massive markups today in (my personal angel) portfolio (the other being @tryramp).

Congrats @tryramp, one of two massive markups today in (my personal angel) portfolio. (The other being @AppliedInt.) I'll spare you all the story of how I know @karimatiyeh and instead refer you to this hilarious video: x.com/loganbartlett/status/1…
