Welcome to the Llama Lounge, AI Startup Series that I organize. See the final event of the year hosted by @HanaHaus Palo Alto, Nov 2. Is this the largest tech event in downtown Palo Alto since the iPhone launch? Drone video by the talented @spcmonkeyfilms crew. #llamaLounge

1/4: I presented on AI agents at Nivida. Here's what went down. An honor to speak at NVIDIA @nvidia HQ last week in the heart of Silicon Valley. I presented on AI agents, and provided examples, definitions, and forecasts. Here's the definition slide that I led with #agents

3/4: The NVIDIA HQ is massive and amazing. There's like an entire city under the honeycomb structured roof. We took that photo down on level one and around us was thousands of talented (and happy) workers in this building, called Voyager (from Star Trek)

4/4: Zooming out from a bird's eye view, you can see the entirety of the new Nvidia campus in Santa Clara, the heart of Silicon Valley. I worked in Santa Clara at Hitachi, Exodus, and this region has been a big part of my career since the dotcom era.

Bay Area captured 35% of all VC $ (on Carta) in the last year. New York is #1 for fintech though, at 24%. & bc it always comes up- Miami fell off the chart 🫠

By my estimate, one-third of the billboards on Highway 101 (the main freeway between Silicon Valley and SF) are dedicated to AI. -mostly larger tech companies advertising that they have AI built in or that they enable AI -I've been here for 27 years and have never seen such a focus on one tech topic.

There are 11k active startup investors according to recent data from Pitchbook, That could include very small checks to dominant firms on Sand Hill. The rate has been shrinking. I'm actively investing, I recently updated my LinkedIn bio with the checks we've written. pitchbook.com/news/articles/…

A robot to do your laundry. We all want one. It will take years for price to come down. But awesome to see.
Easily the most impressive uncut autonomous video I've ever seen, from @physical_int
