I've been extremely bearish on LegalTech, until I met the Sandstone team. Excited to double down on their $30M Series A along with @lightspeedvp and @mantisVC.
Proud to partner with Sandstone for our first legal tech investment 🤝

We’re excited to announce that we led @sandstonehq’s $30M Series A.
In-house legal teams stand to benefit significantly from AI support.
We believe Sandstone understands the lack of resources that can be provided to those teams.
The AI platform, founded by @nifleisher, @liamail, and @cc_jarryd, was built to streamline procedures and expand capacity. Sandstone can run intake, triage, execution, fulfillment, and measurement of legal work, using tools already in practice.
This founding team deeply understands the in-house legal problem and has the software background to build a solution. With this unique knowledge, we believe they are positioned to redefine the legal landscape, one case at a time.

50% of personal claude and codex tokens have been used to build a tax / wealth management / net worth application and the other 50% have been used to try and create a home automation application. I'm only off by /- 5%. Pretty sure.

A real story from our Series B process with @sequoia last year.
@dbabbs and I were invited to Menlo Park to pitch the Monday partner meeting. The whole partnership was there, probably 15 people. Needless to say, it was nerve-wracking.
Before we went in, @Alfred_Lin asked if I needed anything.
While it felt slightly absurd asking one of the most iconic investors in the world for a coffee, I needed the caffeine.
A few minutes later, Alfred came back with the coffee himself.
No assistant, no asking someone else. He just went and made it.
Is obviously a tiny thing, but it stuck with me. From my POV, tiny acts like this is why @sequoia is the best in the world 🐐

I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A.
12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30 minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going.
I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital.
You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious.
It's a dance.
And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious.
If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird.
No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there.
It is weird.

You like Zed Industries? Their early work (Atom) was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Zed came out in ’21, I think they really came into their own, technically and artistically. The whole GPUI layer has a clear, crisp execution, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the product a big boost. They’ve been compared to VS Code forks, but I think Zed has a far more low-level, GPU-driven approach.

I would pay at least a few thousand dollars to have my Slack app fast-tracked through the marketplace approval process. I'm sure I'm not alone. I wonder why Slack doesn't monetize this?

Drizzle v1.0.0-rc.1 is out 🚀
▪︎ Effect v4 native support
▪︎ JIT row mappers to reduce ORM overhead to ~0
▪︎ Reworked casing API (breaking change)
▪︎ Drizzle for LLM agents (preview)
Drizzle is now as fast as using raw driver and mapping(or not mapping) results by hand 🙃
