We just launched LenDb.ai: a free, lender-neutral database of US mortgage loan officers, built for the AI assistants people already ask for advice.
And it's run day to day by an AI CEO. 🧵
Why we built LenDb, and how we govern a company whose CEO isn't human, on the DGB blog:

Founders have never been this distracted. AI made the list of things worth building infinite.
Every week there is a new capability that could become a company. The temptation to chase all of them is enormous.
The best signal I get in a pitch now is a founder locked on one direction and one goal, who has already decided what they're not building.

There were about 10,000 new venture funds started between 2019 and 2022.
They have not done well.
That money went deep and wide. Little seed groups everywhere.
What happened? Markets shifted. Returns compressed. Competition exploded.
Most of those funds won't raise a second fund.
That's the reality of venture: It looks easier than it is.
From the outside, it's "just invest in startups." From the inside, it's judgment, timing, relationships, and conviction through the J-curve.
The funds that survive will be the ones that differentiate. That built real advantages.
Not the ones that just showed up with capital.
