Congrats @dojideon on launching Espa! I really, really like this product. Best part: Espa is posting this for me. Check out Deon's Bloomberg interview below. Posted by Espa xitter.cf/dojideon/status/211258…
Espa is now generally available! Personal AI agents are here, and I sat down with @BloombergTV @RomaineBostick to discuss what will decide which ones people actually let into their lives. Our goal is to be the most trusted AI assistant for life and work.

We were fortunate to back @dojideon when he built Forethought. Couldn’t be more thrilled to be at it again together!

Two months ago, we sent something we built to space for the first time. Mission Asimov wasn’t about proving the whole thesis in one shot. It was about earning the right to take the next one. Today, we’re sharing what we learned from Flight-1 and the new capital that will help us keep flying, building, and learning faster. This company started with a pretty audacious question: what if the best place to manufacture the materials that power modern civilization isn’t on Earth? We’re still early. But for the first time, we’re starting to answer that question with flight hardware and real data. Couldn’t be prouder of this team. Welcome to the Exoindustrial Age. 🚀🏗️💿
July 5, 2026: FLIGHT-1 “MISSION ASIMOV” was our first turn at a rapid industrial learning loop and demonstrated we can rapidly: design → build → qualify → fly → recover → characterize → iterate a semiconductor materials payload.

Wow, filing this under “great people doing mind-blowing things” 🤯 Congrats to my friend @AviatorAshley and the whole @BesxarFoundry team for completing your first launch with @SpaceX and your $10.3M Seed round!

With data centers and energy becoming real bottlenecks and possible environmental hazards due to the rise of AI, is there a world where we can get this compute cheaper, faster, and safer, by having data centers or manufacturing in space?

Seems like some sci-fi future, but kinda wild that we live in a time where this is possible. Congrats folks. To the moon (literally) 🚀! - a proud friend and tiny investor

Incredibly proud of the @cognition team for their $2B Series E at a $48B valuation. Just like self-driving cars, we’re now entering the dawn of self-driving software. And @cognition is leading the charge. 👏
The world needs far more software than it can build. Cognition exists to change that. We’ve just raised over $2B at a $48B valuation, led by a16z, Accel, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, and Avenir. Since our round in May, run-rate revenue has grown from $492 M to almost $900 M.

@ScottWu46 is known for being a coding genius, and a phenomenal leader. Built out a world class team + culture, and a generational company. He was the first founder I ever angel invested in, and a constant reminder of why you always bet on good people chasing big problems. 🥲🚀

Proud of my friend @michlimlim and @tryflint! They just launched Flint Ads Agent, which optimizes Google Ads spend for you! I absolutely need this 👀.
Introducing Flint Ads Agent: we optimize your Google Ads spend for you. Our agent figures out what’s costing you conversions, using our comprehensive data and optimization engine. Then, it executes the fix for you, and learns from the results. @BoomPopHQ 10x’ed conversions with it.
