Proud to support @axisrobotics and the work they're doing.

I'm very proud that @hack_vc invested in @MeckaAI's $60M round. Josh has been a friend for many years and it has been very inspiring to see his journey in solving data for physical AI.
When they started almost nobody thought collecting human motion data this way would work at scale. They just kept building. Now, their data fuels some of the most powerful models in the world.
Congrats again to @joshavata and the whole team.
Today @MeckaAI is announcing $60M in funding to become the data and deployment layer for physical AI
This raise will allow us to scale our data infrastructure, invest into new verticals, and deploy robots into the real world

We’re thrilled to announce a $12M Seed round, led by @hack_vc, with participation from @NomadCapital_io , @PiCoreTeam Ventures , @10kventure and top angel investors.
Physical AI has a data problem. Models need more than static datasets—they need diverse data that evolves with them.
Axis’s compounding Data Engine is here to fix this gap. Our end-to-end closed-loop workflow unites large-scale simulation, egocentric real-world capture, and human-in-the-loop post-training to unlock scalable production of structured, multi-diverse robotic data — the core missing piece for Physical AI.
The capital will accelerate Axis’s mission to build a massively parallel, human-in-the-loop global data engine. We’re just getting started.

After being dormant for the past 8 years, interest in blockchain as a fintech enterprise solution has resurfaced. It's a combination of the regulatory environment and the long lead time that large institutions require, but it's here, real, and worth following: blog.hack.vc/cycle-tested-vo…

We’re thrilled to announce our investment in @navaai.
As AI scales, our thesis is that value is migrating from pure compute to trust and verification. 🧵
AI agents are starting to move real money.
The problem: there’s still no independent check between what an agent intends to do and what actually gets executed.
Today, that changes.
We're Nava, and today we’re coming out of stealth with an $8.3M seed round from @polychain, @archetypevc, @hack_vc, @FalconXGlobal, and @seedclub / @seedclubvc to build the trust infrastructure the agent economy is missing.

In 1995, people "invested in the internet."
Today, no one does. It is simply the inherent plumbing of nearly every successful business on the planet.
We are at the same fulcrum with blockchain. The tech behind crypto is evolving into the fundamental infra layer for global finserv.

I was an early investor in like 5+ multi-billion perp dexs that Hyperliquid eventually vanquished. Plus many of the biggest CEXs. Here is exactly how HL won:
1. HLP: every winning perp exchange used an internal market maker. Liquidity is THE product, you can't outsource it. FTX <> Alameda is the infamous failure case, but Jeff also bootstrapped HL with his trading firm. He then took it to the next level by democratizing access to that internal MMer with HLP.
2. Centralization: they launched with a permissioned chain, with the team as sole validators. Competitors were messing around with experimental chains like Starknet and Solana, some parts on-chain and some off-, it was a mess. HL's approach was clean and fast, but also took major reg risk that a US team could never have done. But it paid off, because...
3. The best product: sorry to my founders, but HL was the whole package. The UX, the speed, the auto-margining… wow. CeFi-level trading experience.
4. Airdrop and VC-less fair launch: great narrative to give all tokens to the users and only the users. That’s what crypto is about.
Doomsday scenarios are always a fun exercise, especially those with merit. That said, there is one global political truth, no global leader wants catastrophe on their watch. To the extent that AI advances further widen the wealth gap, which does make sense, here are some thoughts
5) At the end of the day, there's a supply chain, even for AI. There's capex, there's physical infrastructure requirements, there's power/energy requirements, there are new industries that will grow to support and advance this new world. These are things we can't see now.
