There’s been so much talk about AI stealing people’s work and ending creativity.
Anyone who’s made a video knows the one-shot is only a starting point. The real work happens in post.
Introducing VN Studio, AI filmmaking with human authorship tracking built in, so you can copyright what you create.
Hollywood would love to stop AI from using its IP without permission but it also wants to use AI to help make its next IP.
I spent months talking to people in the industry about that distinction. @TheAnkler and @AshleyCullins dug into what it means and what we’re doing at @buildwithVN to address it.

Say you sketched a character, ran it through GPT Image and animated it in Seedance.
Then you changed the lighting, the background, the pacing and the sound.
VN Studio can show which parts of that clip are yours.
As part of the launch we're giving away 7,500 free credits to everyone that signs up and discounts on all subscriptions so you can try it out.
It’s about time you own what you create.

Hollywood’s IP problem with AI is far from going away. @buildwithVN tested 15 popular models and in our new research covered by @Deadline, every model reproduced at least one protected character even when it wasn’t named. Just having safeguards isn't enough and it doesn't tell the whole story.

In Episode 30 of Founder Notes, @prathreddy and I talk fiscal pressure, inflation, private credit liquidity, AI data centers, and HVAC on Mars. open.spotify.com/episode/41e…
“Trillions” used to describe GDP, government spending, or the largest public companies; now it is becoming the language of private markets. @prathreddy and I unpack what that shift means in Episode 29 of Founder Notes: “Trillions Is the New Billion.” open.spotify.com/episode/62Q…
The lesson from Q1 was not that private credit has no risk. It was that risk needs to be measured with data, not headlines. @prathreddy and I covered net flows, gates, AUM, Anthropic, OpenAI, Claude, rates, and the Nasdaq in Episode 28.

In Episode 27 of Founder Notes, @prathreddy and I discuss why banks need private credit to work, how back-leverage keeps them winning either way, and what the CDX Private Credit Index signals about market maturity.

On this day two years ago, I wrote to our team about intellectual stamina. One of the most underrated leadership traits is holding a strong vision while knowing when part of it needs to evolve. The best companies iterate without losing conviction.

A stronger secondary market will not solve every private-credit concern overnight. But over time, it can make the asset class more transparent, resilient, and functional. Appreciate @TheEconomist highlighting that trend and including @investpercent.

EP 26 of Founder Notes is live!
@prathreddy just got back from Deer Valley and Aspen, so we unpacked institutional sentiment, the Blue Owl redemption headline, and why banks building short tools signals market maturity.

Private credit redemptions are dominating headlines, but the real question is whether the issue is credit quality or liquidity design. @prathreddy and I unpack that, plus software loan markdowns, BNPL rules, and founder endurance. EP 25 is live: open.spotify.com/episode/0l7…
We told everyone to specialize for 50 years. AI is starting to reward the opposite. The biggest shift is not job replacement. It’s the collapse of structural need for many narrow roles. My latest in Forbes: forbes.com/councils/forbeste…
On this day two years ago, I wrote to our team about resilience. Half of the 2018 startup vintage was gone within five years. Only 381 of 3,000+ remained. Every extra year builds judgment, trust, and staying power. That is how you beat the odds. nelsonchu.co/home/beating-th…
Fear gets monetized quickly. AI job anxiety is now being packaged into odds, tools, and betting markets. That says as much about this moment’s psychology as it does about the technology itself. Piece from @axios featuring my comments: axios.com/2026/03/17/ai-job-…
On this day two years ago, we brought Navtej S. Nandra in to share his perspective in our all-hands meeting. His framework for startup success was simple: demand strategy, resourcing, execution, culture, and discipline. Two years later, it still holds. nelsonchu.co/home/changing-t…
