Today we’re announcing our $30 million Series A.
This round is led by @Theoryvc with support from @CRV , @ycombinator, @databricks, @runwayml , @ZeroPrimeVC , @swift_vc, and more. Your belief in a future powered by multimodal data brings us one step closer to that reality.

Most parents wish that their kids grew up in a world with no social media. Same level of regret as for alcohol and guns.
Smartphones and Youtube were lower.
Bicycles were regretted by only 9%, despite kids sometimes getting hurt on bikes:

This interesting paper is not about cities. It’s about cars. It finds that cities were good at both wealth creation and economic mobility until the mid 20th century. What went wrong then? Cities started planning for cars.

Remember, everyone, the problem that good public transit solves is the efficient use of space, not just the efficient use of labor. Self driving cars are still cars, the most space-wasting form of transport ever invented.

STEM is so cool. Science is amazing. Kids should develop curiosity about how the universe works and proficiency in uncovering its secrets, so that they can most effectively optimize clickthrough rates on banner ads at the bottom of VC-funded website-apps.

Montreal is leading North America as a model for how to transform streets into vibrant pedestrian spaces. This 80-page design guide from Montreal is a reminder that it takes more than just opening a street to ensure it's truly a sustainable success for all.

Such a premium, high-end planet. It would go for so much in a cosmic planet auction and we get to live here for free.

“this should be 65 separate 5,000 pound cars” —the stupidest fucking venture capitalist in san francisco
For 20% of SF's public transit budget you could buy and run a fleet of 15,000 Waymos and let everyone ride for free. Thats enough to cover the entire ridership of SF's public bus system with much better service.
Assumptions:
-Conservative 12 year average life of the Waymo with zero value recouped at the end
- $120k purchase price per Waymo
-$8k/year/waymo in operating costs
-Finance purchase with 12 year loan at SF municipal bond rate of 4.85%
-$0 in fares!
