We hosted SF's only co-ed mixer with more women than men. 45 women, 35 men, and 4 relationships I personally know came out of it. And I'm the guy who went viral for staying "single until series B." Here's the storytime: One random Sunday I tweeted that there should be a singles mixer for YC and a16z speedrun founders. The shitpost hit top news on X. Consensus: "no women will sign up." Instead, dozens of women DMed me: "please make it happen, just keep the ratio right." @dianeemccormack from Fondo offered to run it. @peggy_wang from SparkChat & @parthma said they're single and in. While we planned, I went viral again with my bro @contextconor for joking I'd stay "single until series B." @gregisenberg called it the single worst trend to come out of silicon valley. People called me "everything wrong with SF," said incels were killing the city's dating culture (fun fact: it doesn't exist). So now I was the "single until series B" guy throwing SF's biggest singles mixer. The irony was not lost on me. But a million views, thousands of DMs, and hundreds on the waitlist were counting on me. @pulley signed on to sponsor. So I leaned in. I asked @peggy_wang to be the face of it, dunking on the techbros: sign up so you don't end up like me, single until series B. I was guiding people to a treasure I couldn't possess. And it worked. Best event I've ever hosted. Curated people from every walk of life, not just YC founders, actually hit it off. The girls' group chat is still popping lol. Moral: you can have your cake and eat it too. It's just harder. You can stay "single until series B" and still help everyone else find their person. As @gregisenberg put it in his tweet calling us out: you can have it all. (all love, I like his work) This is independent of my startup @KoyalAI, which helps people make films with AI. Yes, also controversial. I can't help it.

who needs a gf when you can t-pose with the homies Single until Series B - out this summer starring @contextconor and me.

Technically Single brought 70 builders together for a night of real conversations, new connections, and a very good time. SF at its best ❤️ Can’t wait for the next one… @KoyalAI x @digipals_app x @Fondocom x @pulley

we solved the hardest challenge in SF: finding love. the most curated mixer ONLY for technically single founders (situationships don't count). i tweeted last month that someone should host one for single yc a16z founders. my dms flooded with female founders panicking about the gender ratio. i am, unfortunately, a man. couldn't fix this alone. then Diane from @tryfondo said: let's actually do this. and @peggy_wang (2x YC founder, female) & @parthma (man 🥲) joined to fix the ratio from the inside. presenting Technically Single: a curated mixer for venture-backed single founders ready to mingle* May 15. 6–9pm. *if you've pledged single until series B, you can still join to pre-schedule dates. rsvp: luma.com/cw9b23l4 world peace starts here.

You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.
