We are thrilled to announce our investment in Miren alongside @blueyard

Evan Phoenix is revolutionizing cloud deployment, making it simple and cost-effective for both humans and AI agents while unlocking the full potential of modern hardware. What a time to be building.

Miren

What a time to be building! Writing computer code has never been easier. We now have AI models that have memorized every conceivable API and can assist us or even write code for us outright. Especially the more recent so-called “reasoning models” have taken another big step in this direction. At the same time, hardware has become incredibly performant. There are now 1U servers that come with 2 processors with 144 cores each, 96 MB of Cache and 2 TB of RAM and 244 TB of SSD disk space all for ...

Hi Casters. USV stopped at the gas station last year and now that we've turned the new engine on, we thought we'd share that news https://blog.usv.com/2024-usv-core-fund

2024 USV Core Fund

We recently started investing out of our newest USV Core Fund. As with each of our previous funds, while it is a new vehicle, our approach will stay the same: small fund, thesis driven, high conviction, and low velocity. We’ll focus on being long term and dedicated partners to a small number of teams creating projects and businesses that are aligned with our thesis. We’ll continue to commit once and then partner with the companies throughout their lifetimes. We run a collaborative partnership...

Bed Bugs and Trust on the Internet

Last week I began to notice what looked like bug bites on my limbs. I asked two dermatologists and ChatGPT what they were, and everyone said they looked like bed bug bites. Shit. My timeline checked out - I went to a big resort in the Bahamas, and it was the kind of place one could imagine people picking up bed bugs and bringing them home (ironically, I told a friend I was going there, and he mentioned he and his family got bed bugs on their last visit). When it comes to health and bed bugs, ...

what new business models will emerge to power consumer healthcare at the edge?

https://jared.xyz/business-models-at-the-edge-of-healthcare

Business Models at the Edge of Healthcare

I am convinced that the best way to fix the healthcare system is to reinvent it from the outside in. I am hopeful that this is possible and that there are enough entrepreneurs and people disenchanted with the status quo who are ready to create this change. There are certainly tailwinds, many of which we articulated in Healthcare at the Edge. People are fed up with the existing system, they are taking charge of their own health and wellness, we have tools like Supp and Consensus to make our ow...

This Meeting Could Have Been A Podcast - and now it is. This week we transformed our Oct 21 AI team meeting into an algorithmically distilled episode of USV Radio. We cover multi-agent systems, decentralized training, and how we're thinking about investing in the space:

Developed these OH's live on the Every AI&I podcast with @danshipper. Dan pushed us to dig deeper beyond just a one shot prompt, so here's a thread with the key insights we landed on from last week. Full podcast going live soon.👇

First time seeing @spenser IRL in 8 (???) years…I think? Appropriate to reconnect back at @usv, the last time we were in the same place together was when he “externed” with me for a day to help me come up with ideas for the USV network 😆

Incredibly excited to announce our investment in Daylight and to work with @kyle @morley and team! Starting with a personalized transaction recommendation API, Daylight is working to grow onchain GDP. More thoughts here:

As crypto has evolved and matured over the last 15 years, many of its promises have – contrary to popular opinion – come to fruition to a nontrivial degree. Every day millions of users globally bring their wallets to applications where they take onchain actions, with sovereignty over their own assets and data. Many of these actions happen as a result of a user interacting with an app, protocol, or asset directly. But crypto’s open, composable, and permissionless nature means that all of these...
