We are in the age of consensus capital [2026 part II]:
1– Only 10% of LP funding to emerging managers
2– Only 10% of VC rounds smaller than $50M
@adjacent is for the unproven

Paul singlehandedly built @Adjacent Vector which might be the most cutting edge VC dashboard out there
All portfolio and fund performance from public and private sources in one place continuously updated:
Built our fund's internal weekly app as a Claude artifact. Love it.
Two asks @AnthropicAI: let me hide the top bar and pick my own icon.
When it's an app the team opens every day, it should feel like an app, not a page inside Claude.
I'd meet you halfway at a footer...

Today we're announcing the new Opal to build the operating system for attention.
1 million people already use Opal every single day. We raised $10M.
Personal AGI is coming. The bottleneck won't be access to intelligence.
It will be attention.

Olto is now shipping to customers in the United States.
We designed Olto to be a new kind of vehicle, a better way for everyone to get around. To celebrate its launch, we photographed almost a hundred New Yorkers on Olto in a single day. Friends, neighbors, strangers, NYC Icons. All shot against a white backdrop, each showing how they'll make Olto their own.
