Common wisdom, but not commonly followed well:
Tons of alpha to just declining meetings you don’t absolutely have to be in.
It’s really weird that @nytimes games don’t have a better offline mode. All the games (besides crossword) require connectivity even when I’ve previously opened the puzzle. Why can’t it just store the puzzle when I download it initially?
I worked with @jsarihan on @googlefinance. As an intern, he wrote the entire experimentation system we still use today. Our Directory (fuzzy@) called his intern project "the most impressive he's ever seen".
Easy to predict huge things in his future!
Today we’re introducing Crosby, a hybrid AI law firm that helps rapidly growing businesses execute faster.
Contracts are connection points. They allow companies to transact with one another and create economic growth. But while every aspect of business has sped up, the way we negotiate contracts hasn’t changed in 50 years.
Crosby is building the API for human agreement. We combine the speed and intelligence of AI with the safety of lawyers-in-the-loop to review contracts in under an hour.
Since quietly launching in January, we’ve reviewed over 1,000 MSAs, DPAs and NDAs for some of the fastest growing companies in history, including Cursor, Clay and UnifyGTM. Speed to execution is our north star, and today our median review time is 58 minutes. GTM teams call Crosby a secret weapon to close deals 80% faster. We’re just getting started.
Today, we’re also excited to share that we’ve raised $5.8m from Sequoia Capital and Bain Capital Ventures, as well as the founders of Ramp, Instacart, Flatiron Health, and others.
Crosby is a small, talent-dense team, combining lawyers from Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia Law with engineers from Ramp, Vanta, Meta, and Google. Every engineer on our team today is a former founder. We work in person in New York City.
If our mission resonates with you, we are looking for technologists, legal experts, and former founders to join us.
For high-growth companies looking to execute faster, we’ve opened up Early Access. Sign up on our website and we’ll be in touch.

📣 Huge update — I’ve started a new company!
After 4 years at Ramp, I’ve started something new (and we're hiring). The past few years were incredible - being a part of the rocket ship on a ~15 person engineering team to an 1000+ person org, and growing from 100s of customers to 25,000+. The talent, ambition, and teamwork I experienced have set the bar for what greatness looks like—I’m excited to keep that standard into building this new team.
Much more to come on the new company soon — but here’s a preview: Ryan Daniels + I already working with our first partners, saving our customers millions of dollars in legal costs, and there’s a ton of demand to keep up with.
Long term: we’re tackling a massive vertical opportunity worth over $200B, leveraging AI to make a real impact.
We’re growing the early engineering team. If you’re passionate about transforming legal with AI, I’d love to connect! Referrals welcome too!
Is It Cake? feedback:
There really should be more than one decoy. With one cake and one decoy, the judges have a 50/50 shot of finding the cake even if it’s perfect. Not fair to the bakers!!
Really trying not to be hyperbolic when I say They Called Him Mostly Harmless could be the worst true crime movie of all time
At the Super Bowl, representing a jet legend and manifesting @NYJ_Matt epic MVP bet
Devastating…and not hard to believe given what we know. Same old Jets
◽️A paranoid head coach
◽️Excuse-making
◽️A QB that rubbed some teammates wrong
We spoke to 30 sources in and around the Jets organization to better understand their failed season.
"It’s just such a f—ing mess."

You are selling the manager - make them want you! Convey passion about the problem the team is solving and excitement about the opportunity! Bring energy to the call! This is rarer than you think and instantly sets you apart. 5/6
Internal candidates have an edge: better understanding of internal workflows, tools, processes, etc. How do you overcome this edge? Preparation! 3/6
