Excited to be speaking at AI Engineer NYC (ai.engineer/nyc/2026) next week with our partners @apolloglobal on how asset managers are thinking about AI disruption as both investors and users. If you're thinking about the intersection of AI and finance, would love to chat.

Rowspace is one of those rare actually no-bullshit, do great work, win, enjoy each other, places to work. If that's your thing, they're hiring!
Wrote about @Rowspace_ai for this week’s Early Days! A team that comes across very normal - but only because they’re very weird. As someone who used to blog about the best qualities and tactics of startups, I can say with confidence they rarely survive in real, messy, human orgs. So to see them thrive here was special, all under a disco ball no less 🪩🐺

Early in 2020, I got to spend three weeks in @NotionHQ's vibey, almost legendary Mission office before Covid sent us home for a year and a half. Now, six years later, the same office has become Rowspace's third HQ. The furniture is not as nice but the vibes are still immaculate. We're hiring product and research engineers, FDEs, and GTM here and in NYC to push the frontier on agent harnesses and context engineering for financial services and to partner with customers on deploying these to drive outsized returns. Come work with us! rowspace.ai/careers

It's easy to focus on @NotionHQ's technical and design prowess, but the company has always fundamentally been about how people work together. And speaking of working together, amazing to see @ivanhzhao @camillericketts and @zebriez (three of my favorite past and present colleagues and friends) produce such a great articulation of what drives the company. xitter.cf/ivanhzhao/status/20386…
The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction. That gets the future wrong. The best things aren’t built alone. In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for: — Think Together

I’ve loved talking to @jakesaper for years precisely for the clarity of thought he brings, and this post is a great example of that. So excited to be (officially) working together with him and his partners @emergencecap! emcap.com/thoughts/instituti…

Excited to partner with @mlmanapat, Yibo, and team for both their Seed and Series A. @rowspace_ai helps the world’s largest financial institutions and investment firms make faster, better decisions on all of their proprietary data. Financial work today involves jumping between documents, databases, and Excel files scattered across systems. Rowspace uses AI to understand all of a firm's data and drive analysis instantaneously, so that firms can scale their judgment and focus more time on what they do best.
Excited to officially launch @Rowspace_AI — specialized intelligence for investors to make faster, sharper decisions by compounding their edge with AI. For the first time, they can turn their stores of messy, fragmented data into judgment and workflows that scale 🧵

What’s interesting about this tech wave: the strong appetite from firms to deploy AI. What’s lacking: the ability to give AI the context it needs to be effective. MLM is one of the sharpest and most discerning people I know, excited for Rowspace to solve this problem!
