A week ago today, I hosted 30+ founders and techno wizards for a seated, full-course dinner preceded by a happy hour in Amsterdam.
The dinner was made possible by Jan Jongboom, Co-Founder and CTO of @EdgeImpulse
The next event will be announced shortly.

I was interviewed by @ADnl about how Trump’s policies are affecting Dutch entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, from policy uncertainty and changing regulations to the contrasting entrepreneurial optimism in the US and the Netherlands.

Our agents built a custom inference engine in just a few days that serves GLM 5.3 FP8 on @AMD MI350X, 37% faster than on NVIDIA B200, B300 (8-GPU nodes). This achieves a p90 interactivity of 352 tokens/sec/user on @SemiAnalysis_ AgentX, even matching the best result for the lower-precision FP4 model. All outputs are consistent with stock implementation. Lots of potential for this approach!

We love investing internationally because there are so many big opportunities that other investors miss. Many of our best investments have been abroad, even though no one has heard of them. But the mechanics are really different for US angels and funds. Read on >>

Bird secures $450M and opens its infrastructure to AI agents.
Debt financing led by J.P. Morgan. Still private and independent.
Meet Agentic Harness: agents can email, use WhatsApp, make calls—even get their own eSIM.
What would you build with it?

ALT Bird. Built for the agent economy. A dark globe with illuminated cities and arcs representing communication around the world.

Medical research doesn't lack imaging data.
It lacks imaging data that's available for research.
Privacy and research aren't a tradeoff.

Our first investor chat at The Hippo Campus is this Friday with Pat Matthews! Pat is a pre-seed investor focused on AI-native business software.
In a prior life, he was also a founder - he started Webmail back in the day raising less than $500k, which he sold to Rackspace. And eventually he became SVP of Corp Dev there.
Grab a day pass and cowork with us at the Hippo Campus and ask Pat about starting a business, his thoughts on AI, fundraising, M&A and much more.

investors buying secondary in a company they can’t get primary access to is quite common — but the investor promoting that online as if they’re a direct shareholder and partner to the company is disingenuous. And will get folks embarrassed by founders “who do not consent” to the new ownership

Unbelievable!!! grug started as a funny joke over the weekend but quickly grew to become one of the most fun things @michelelings and I built this past year.
To win an Apple Design Award is truly a dream come true since we started working together 15 years ago. Speechless...
