Developer tools should be about solving problems, not about features and specs. End-to-end productivity, not checkbox matrices.

I have been working with some very impressive founders who are gearing up to launch several new regenerative agritech companies focused on Pollinators, Forests and Soil Carbon.
We are now putting together pre-seed rounds. Happy to talk to investors interested in these areas.

We're proposing the creation of a new kind of global, venture-focused PhD programme - very keen to engage with possible partners worldwide!
It's out! The Venture Science Doctorate (VSD) is a new kind of PhD programme designed for identifying industry gaps, and launching the mission-oriented science companies that close them - we're so excited to set this up with @Day1Project @DominicFalcao 🙌 dayoneproject.org/post/forgi…

Being an expert means doing hard things easily, and this, paradoxically, makes you blind to opportunities to make them even easier. And yet such opportunities yield hyperlinear returns. Make something half as difficult, and you'll get way more than twice as many users.

EeroQ will be hiring for three positions soonish - July start. Two will be nanofab engineers (etching experience preferred) and one will be for a quantum engineer with qubit experience.
Based in Chicago and mid-Michigan. If you might be a fit, DM me to start discussing ;)

If your favourite quantum computing platform is built around superconducting transmons, you will need to balance intentional disorder (to protect qubits) and nonlinear resonator couplings (to manipulate qubits). With chaos lurking, will this be possible?
