After close to 6 years with SGH Capital, I’m pleased to announce I’ve joined @OSSVentures to scale up their VC arm and operations.
Founded in 2018, OSS is a hyper-focused venture builder and investor tackling the future of operations and manufacturing. Even though the industrial sector (inc. construction) represents ~27% of the world’s GDP, it only attracts ~3% of VC funding!
We invest ahead of or alongside top-tier VCs in extraordinary founders who want to build enduring businesses in the US and Europe, from pre-seed through Series B.
I've written a short post to tell you more about it. If you are working on something in that space, please reach out!

Dix jours désormais que le nouveau @Infogreffe est en PLS et que les opérations les plus basiques (dont commande de KBIS) sont paralysées. Aucune prise de contact du support malgré un ticket ouvert. Où sont les équipes pleinement mobilisées? teapawt.net/Infogreffe/status/1658…
📣 Chers usagers,
La nouvelle plateforme de services d’Infogreffe rencontre quelques difficultés. Toutes nos équipes techniques et le service client sont pleinement mobilisés pour rétablir rapidement la situation, et vous permettre de profiter de nos nouvelles fonctionnalités.

It was great to see Unitary's amazing CEO, @HacoSasha on @SkyNews last week! Sasha talked about what inspired her and co-founder & CTO, @jdthewlis, to build Unitary as well as the company's plans moving forward! Check out this snippet!

We just built a product @AngelList to help startups impacted by SVB that need emergency capital:
- Standardized Loan Agreement Docs (temporary loan from investors) with online signing & funding.
- Built in banking access (if your company needs it)
DM me if you need access

Watching people delight in the collapse of a bank that’s been vital to the greatest wealth generation engine this country has had for the last 2 decades is really disheartening to see.
I think this is a Twitter problem.I’m gonna be spending less time here.
Great news for @HacoSasha and team! Fresh capital to fight the good fight and make online communities safer. Proud to be an early investor with @SGHCAPITAL teapawt.net/UnitaryAI/status/16330…
Waking up to this feels great! A huge milestone for Unitary, thank you to our amazing founders for leading the way.

Sobering calculator from @MTemkin at @PitchBook - How long will it take to grow into old valuations? Hint: quite a while unless YoY growth >100%. pitchbook.com/news/articles/…

one thing that most AI hypers don’t appreciate is just how slowly most of the world changes
most workloads at big banks still are 80%+ on-prem, despite the cloud existing for 16+ years
true AI-everywhere adoption will take decades, despite how mind-blowing the tech is

Crypto Fraud and Asset Recovery was on the agenda at the
brilliant #DeFi retreat in Lisbon.
10/10 for venue and people - Hats off to @bayarea_alexp and @eventstet 👏
@Amanda_S_Wick moderator extraordinaire as usual (and good to hang out with @prlvx in real life for a change!)
Very proud of @AidanJLarkin's team progress over at @asset_reality! We were the first VC to invest with @SGHCAPITAL because we saw a laser focused team with an incredible set of skills. Onwards and upwards! teapawt.net/AidanJLarkin/status/16…

1/ Framework Ventures has just led a $4.9M round for @Asset_Reality, a solution for digital asset recovery.
Basically, we think they could drastically increase transparency and improve audibility of the entire crypto recovery process.

FTX's fraud wasn't a failure of US regulation.
There are many laws on the books that prohibit US exchanges from trading customer funds. FTX was a Bahamian exchange, not a US one.
But, if FTX had US customers (by VPN), then it *was* a failure of US regulators, both SEC and CFTC.
