When multistage consensus fuels growth, small funds have two ways to invest.
Pre-consensus: find deals before they become consensus.
Consensus: get access to early consensus rounds led by multistages.
At Eniac we do both. Leading pre-consensus and joining consensus rounds.
It feels like everything has changed in venture, but that's not really true. The most important thing has stayed the same. It's still all about the founder.
Agents are only as good as what they can see. Context gives them the whole internet through one API. Knew it the moment we met Yahia and couldn't be more excited to be investors!
We raised $9M to give your agents the internet.
Led by @generalcatalyst, with @orangecollectv and Robinhood Ventures.
Search, scrape, crawl, monitor with one API trusted by 800+ customers.
We’re making it ridiculously easy to build with web data.

Introducing Hugo: the first human companion robot.
At Boston Dynamics, I was Chief Strategy Officer, bringing robots into the real world.
My co-founder, Farbod Farshidian, led research at the RAI Institute.
Together, 15+ years teaching robots to run, jump, and work.
So we asked: what if robots could connect with people?
Hugo runs on the first Vision-Language-Expression (VLE) model.
He links what he sees and hears to movement, expression, and gesture.
He notices you, reads the room, and reacts in real time.
And he's only the first.

We're building a cast of characters with film studios, resorts, and theme parks.

We built this and will be giving agents access soon. We went through a lot of effort to have a clean product catalog, top tier name brand suppliers that can fulfill within 24 hours. LFG 🔥🔥🔥
The future is a merchant product that makes one’s inventory available via MCP / headlessly and accepts agent payments.
I suspect shipping can be done thru fedex/ups/usps direct from merchant at similar cost when you strip out the Amazon take rate (ie merchant can spend more if needed to ship quickly).
The moat isn’t what it is anymore. That is why they are blocking.
HalloweEniac is two weeks out! Building my set and just found this banger. Can’t wait!

A year ago, Goodlabs was in one blood center, one day a week.
Today we're in 19 centers across six states, open 7 days a week, with more than 70,000 people on the platform.
Thank you to our donors and partners for making this possible.
I've been through a few cycles where startups had to focus on being default alive. We are now in one of those. But this time it's 95% of startups. The top 5% have endless money.
Being someone's option bet is a rough way to start a company. Our strategy is the opposite of this
Every seed investment is an option bet.
“You have to think about the venture portfolio as a bunch of options. Each seed investment is an option bet.
You are buying an option to see if it is an outlier, and you want to have enough of those to make sure you have an outlier.
When there is true quantitative evidence that it is going to be an outlier, then you position size up.” @venkyganesan
How do seed funds play in a world where mega funds are totally price insensitive and “option bets” is the mindset for seed checks @infoarbitrage @chudson @hunterwalk @honam @dunkhippo33 @jasonlk

Last night @human_ventures, @iconnections_io, and @EniacVC co-hosted 80+ family offices overlooking Union Square NYC, and it reminded me how much this kind of room is missing.
For years, we've poured energy into building founder community. Dinners, podcasts, intros, late-night texts. We know how much founders gain from being connected to each other.
But LPs? They're often doing this alone. Family offices are being asked to make sense of AI, shifting fund dynamics, and a very different venture landscape, usually without a real peer network to compare notes with. LPs need connectivity to each other now more than ever.
So we built the room. The conversations were candid, generous, and long overdue.
Huge props to @HeatherHartnett at Human Ventures and Kaitlin Malin at iConnections for bringing everyone together. 🙏🏾
More of these to come.

incredible things happening at the Actor x Pi hackathon this past weekend.
50 competitors, a collection of life sized and mini embodiments, and 36 hours to make them autonomous.
Needless to say the (autonomous) future is very bright!

For a decade big VC funds sold founders on platform: all the support that would give them an unfair advantage. You don't hear much about platform anymore. Now the pitch is we'll pile on more cash so you can buy the market.
Cash is the new platform
We're operating in an environment that rewards opportunism over focus and optionality over discipline. Hard to say how long this lasts, but that's the playing field right now.
