Huge congrats @JonMSchwartz and the entire @Ultraroboticsco team on their Series A!
It is time to deploy!!! Placing robots in the field that get things done is what matters most, and the Ultra team is best in class at that!
@M13Company is incredibly excited to be a part of the journey. 🤖
Robotics has a distribution problem. Today, Ultra is announcing $62M in funding to solve it, including a $50M Series A led by @hiFramework.
We believe that deployment is the bottleneck in robotics.
It’s relatively easy to make a robot look impressive in a controlled environment. It’s much harder to put a robot into the open world, make it useful, keep it running, earn the trust of the people working alongside it, and do that over and over and over again.
So that’s what we’re focusing on.

90% of humans will be taken advantage of by agents.
Give your agents a credit card? You’re asking for it.
We raised a $35M Series A to build Baselayer. Keep your agents submissive.

Excited to share a slightly redacted version of our annual letter to LPs. We touch on the golden era across AI and crypto, how we think about the 2nd and 3rd derivatives of these technologies, and the endless parallels between sports and investing. There is so much movement across the asset class, including the slow disappearance of the letter system (seed, A, B, C). It is all either early stage or growth and it will take active management to generate returns given the level of competition across all of it. Thanks @morgan_blumberg + @markwgrace for being such great thought partners on it.
Ps. The last two installments both led to deals so look forward to hopefully keeping up the trend!

gm - I wrote some thoughts about the state of crypto and what we're thinking about at @M13Company!
I talked about what's working (hint: the tech), what's not working (hint: branding) and where we go from here.
thank you @FortuneMagazine for covering me ⚡️
Thank you @fintechfrank @TheBlockPods for hosting me and @latifperacha on the pod -- it's an honor!
It was a blast chatting about how we @M13Company approach investing in crypto and why still so few generalist firms spend time in the space 🤷♂️
Have a listen and let us know what you think ⚡️

congrats @winnielaux !!!! excited to see @strobefund in action! LFG ⚡️⚡️⚡️
it’s not every day that you get to work with people you love and love what you do. I feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to do both with @strobefund.
we recently spun out of @blocktower and started strobe, a new early-stage venture fund focused on backing bold founders who are leveraging onchain primitives to create new markets and replatform industries.
i’m excited to be able to do this alongside my two amazing partners, @tklocanas and @spvenino33, whom i’ve had the privilege of investing with for the past three years. and we’re humbled to have the backing and trust of an amazing group of LPs. in addition to our core team, strobe is further amplified by our venture partner network, which includes amazing folks like @humancapitol, @proofofk, @kevinlichan, @neilhar, @skoff_dlt & others who extend our geographical reach, operational capabilities, and domain expertise.
together, we’ve partnered with some of the smartest founders in the space, and we’re just getting started !!
