Feels incredible to share the work we’ve done this year, excited to have been a big part in bringing to life a more powerful and personal Siri.

I like how OpenAI is now doing very old-Apple styled commercials.

I found this being quite literally on point.
You aren’t starting a company. You’re laying bricks in the foundation of a skyscraper.

Sometimes they're a good reason to work on something. When people say a market is "crowded," what that often means is that there's a real problem and none of the solutions are good enough yet.

How fast your life moves and improves is directly correlated with how fast you’re willing to have hard conversations.

Some founders don't follow the arc of progress; they bend it through sheer force of will.
Assil is one of them.

The typical problem with industrial designers doing automotives:
Strive for perfection on certain angles but forget they are dealing with G3 networked surfaces.
The result is it looks insanely clean in some angles but really had to compromise anything in between.
I've made this mistake myself. And apparently Jony & Marc couldn't escape this trap either.

After 15 years of investing, we realised that truly exceptional founders have something impossible to fake: deeply unconventional lives.
We analysed 15,000 founders using five binary signals to measure this: odd hobbies, early signs of exceptionalism, extreme life choices, unusual geographies, non-linear careers. These sum to give a 0-5 score per founder. Whether someone started coding at 10, speaks five languages, climbed Everest or quit a safe job to live in Chile, the signal was deviation from the mean.
Rather than focusing on IQ or EQ, we call this metric the Outlier Quotient, or “OQ”. When forecasting founder success, it turns out that OQ was the single most predictive variable in our entire classification model, trained on ~70 different factors.
Our OQ score had zero correlation with having worked at a top-tier company or attending an elite university. The signals most VCs rely on aren’t just noisy, they’re blinding. The best founders don’t signal like everyone else, they don’t think like everyone else, and they certainly don’t build like everyone else.
If you want to spot breakout talent before the rest of the market, stop screening for conformity. Back the founders the system was built to filter out.

Elon Musk and Franz von Holzhausen during the first Model S customer deliveries in 2012, and the final Model S deliveries in 2026.
14 years later. What a journey!
