Watch Episode 1 of our Odyssey series made with Grok Imagine.
Let us know in the comments if you'd like a full breakdown of how it was done!
Creative collaboration with @WonderStudiosX and director Dev Walker @glumlot_
A pretty cool read

And delighted to see @blackbirdvc vernacular has stayed with you @clarejtbirch
In a society that does not have politeness as a cultural virtue, it is a race to the bottom. At last in a country that values politeness, there is a floor on how rude you can be.

How do we go from a single cell to a complex organism?
For 50 yrs experimentally meeting the nutritional demands of a growing organism has been a bottleneck in development.
For the first time, we built placental support and predictive tools to make it possible.

🚨🌅PSA #SunriseNZ24 Attendees 🌅🚨
We’re upgrading! Due to overwhelming demand (and a desire to make things even more epic), we’ve secured a new venue for Sunrise Aotearoa 2024!
Get ready for a bigger and better experience as we bring you more magic, more inspiration, and even more surprises on 26 Nov at Shed 6, Wellington.
Same date, same epic lineup - just with a fresh, exciting space! We can’t wait to see you there.
Ps. If you scored a ticket to Sunrise, the venue change won't affect your ticket. 🎟️ For anyone who's missed out on a ticket, keep your eye out on Blackbird's socials for a second release coming soon. 👀

Envato was one of the original inspirations for the founding of Blackbird. In 2012, we hoped there would be others who walked the path pioneered by them and others; trying to be the best in the world rather than the best in Australia.
Congrats to Collis and Cyan for building something very special!

There are decades when nothing happens and days when decades happen. A huge congrats to team @itsjustvow!
The time has come to enter the wonderland 🐰🫎🐠
We're the first Australian company approved to sell cultured meat, available now in Singapore! Introducing Forged Parfait – not an imitation of chicken or beef, but a new flavour and texture combination altogether. You can try it for yourself at hubs.ly/Q02rGZ1w0.

The Sunrise is only weeks away. I was going to say the most exciting speaker is Joe Brumm, creator of Bluey, but then again, you can't go past @rayn_ong IRL!

“What does sha-ba-dee say?”
My daughter’s suggestion for how we work out why a particularly shiny rock we found was so shiny.

Curious about what makes a top-notch VC? After 3 years of growth, we've nailed down the essentials: curiosity, dealflow, judgment, conviction, reliability & more! Dive deeper with Investments CoS @gifford_a 🗞️: bit.ly/46OacBD. We're now hiring year-round! 🌟
A business professor told the @Allbirds founder his idea was so terrible, he should do a kickstarter to kill it quickly.
That advice backfired. $125k sales in 4 days proved him wrong.
Kicking off with a bang at #sunrise23

Go go go @CheckmateSaves! 🔥
My new favourite thing about living in Auckland: I’ve discovered a dvd rental store.
I know what you’re thinking.
They also sell second-hand dvd players!
Browsing titles on shelves feels sooo good 💆♀️
Never going back to the doom scroll.
