One of the biggest barriers to developer productivity, even as AI speeds up developer work, is time spent toiling -- organizing services, tracking down owners, remediating isuses. Other functions (sales, marketing, HR) have centralized SaaS platforms, but what about engineering?
The @GetCortexApp team, led by Anish, Ganesh and Nikhil, is skilled, scrappy, and highly motivated to improve the developer experience. Newly adopted by tech teams at @TripAdvisor, @Docker & @Grammarly.
@IVP is leading @GetCortexApp's Series B. I'll be serving on their board to help where I can. More about our partnership here: ivp.com/content/cortex-a-cen…
The ChatGPT hype has me feeling mostly optimistic, partially contrary. It also got me thinking back to the glory days of Hadoop and Jamstack & the nature of tech & infra progress. More here: linkedin.com/pulse/hadoop-ja…
Unsurprisingly, @eynatguez and @Papaya_Global
and team are awarded the #EF50 win for their category-leading #payroll solutions and their lesson: "Our takeaway? Hard work pays. 💪" Congrats, team.

PREDICTION: There's a mass extinction event coming for early & mid-stage companies. Late '23 & '24 will make the '08 financial crisis look quaint for startups. Below I explain when, why & how it will start & offer *detailed advice to founders* on surviving the looming die-off. /1
Working with founders and entrepreneurs, I often draw on what I learned from those who coached me before and during my pro athletic career, running for Nike. I wrote about a few standout lessons and want to share: linkedin.com/pulse/what-i-le…
Last week, @IVP gathered two dozen #CISOs for dinner & conversation about the “inflection point” the information security industry is at now with @nicoleperlroth, a college friend & author of the NYT bestseller, “This is How They Tell Me The World Ends.”
Fortune 500 boards often tell her a version of: ‘We thought we were cutting edge b/c we had a CISO brief us last year, but we realized we didn’t know what they were talking about.’ She wrote her book for a layperson to pick up and grok; #CISOs would be wise to do the same.
Nicole was optimistic - and compassionate. CISOs work tirelessly to keep bad actors at bay.
“Everyone in this room knows what’s wrong and how to fix it,” she told us. “There’s a tremendous appetite among boards and senior leadership to figure this out.” 🙏@_mwc @nicoleperlroth
Thank you @FortuneMagazine for including me alongside so many inspiring leaders on this year’s 40 Under 40. My path here has been meaningful because of partnering with so many talented founders, companies, and investors.
Things I've learned from them👇🏼
Be compassionate and present daily - not only to be a better version of myself but also for the people around me. At home as much as at work.
Loving what I do is energy giving. My first internship in venture was 7 weeks and it took just 1 week to realize I loved my job for the first time. I was 29; the path was circuitous. fortune.com/40-under-40/2022…
Had a great time speaking with @AnneSraders in Lisbon this week — check out her latest newsletter on predictions she compiled:
I chatted with a bunch of VCs this week at Web Summit in Lisbon, and one question I asked many of them amid the rocky market: When will startup valuations bottom? I rounded up a few of their predictions for @FortuneMagazine: fortune.com/2022/11/04/3-ven…
The 2020s have been a rollercoaster for CEOs & investors. With funding environments and priorities rapidly changing, join me, @LucasSwisher1 & Alon Kuperman at @WebSummit to hear what we anticipate for companies looking to scale.
