Congrats to Alex, Ben, and @hubble_network (YC W22) on their $200M Series C at a $1.6B valuation!
Hubble's satellite network lets any Bluetooth device connect directly to orbit with just a software update.
Cellular covers about 15% of Earth's landmass, and tracking anything beyond that has meant satellite hardware costing $25 or more per device. Hubble brings connectivity under 50 cents per device, which changes the math for billions of pallets, shipping containers, water pumps, and farm equipment that were never worth connecting before.

Jaylen Brown says meeting 21-year-old founders making $2–3 million in revenue changed how he views money and business
“When I was at Cal, I met this dude Eric Moore. He had his own venture capital firm.”
“I just kept hitting him up until he let me intern at his VC firm.”
“He started teaching me about money, how rich people make money, and how they stay rich.”
“At 18 or 19, I got to see companies being run successfully.”
“Some of the founders were 21 or 22, had dropped out of college, and were making $2–3 million in revenue.”
“My body is my company.”
“Why is it a bad thing that I’m putting myself in a position to make a lot of money at an early age?”
“I really got to see how the world works.”
“I started to understand the similarities between companies and the business of basketball.”
In SF and into somatic fashion?

I wrote about 4 observations on SF since moving from NYC a couple months ago:
1. The people are shaking
2. There is one (1) status game
3. The city that cried wolf
4. The fetishization of the math savant
and in case you don't trust reading blocks of text anymore, I present to you my images and memes:

“Obsession paired with self-belief is often what people label as ‘delusion.’ But that self-belief is essential...because no one starts out as the greatest."
Proud to be interviewed by the great Karin Eldor at @Forbes , and hope you enjoy it as well.

Today, we’re pulling the curtain back to unveil SuperMe 1.0: the AI-native professional network, launch Perspective Search, and announce that we’ve raised a $6.8M seed round.
How @SuperMeAI works:
- Ask a question.
- SuperMe finds the right professionals.
- Their AI profiles answer instantly, grounded in their real work.
It’s how advice really works in business. We’ve just built it into the network.
Search is changing. But it has gaps. AI assistants answer without revealing the humans behind the knowledge. Perspectives are lost as blue links turn into one-size-fits-all answers.
Perspective Search is our answer to that. We show multiple answers to your questions, from people who have solved your problem before. You can also go deeper by engaging with individual profiles.
We’re also excited to share that we’ve raised a $6.8M seed round led by @mduboe at @GreylockVC , joined by some of the most thoughtful builders and operators in tech (see list below).

Uniqlo is coming back to downtown SF, opening a flagship in the former Old Navy site. My administration is focused on clean and safe streets, cutting red tape, and attracting businesses like @UniqloUSA back to the heart of our city. Their return is another sign SF is on the rise.
The Japanese retailer is rolling out an upsized fleet that includes new locations in seven cities, including "flagship" stores in Chicago and San Francisco. f-st.co/u9cIM0O
