My own eyes getting watery reading this. Tnx for sharing @Jessicalessin. Brings back lots of memories, including our own conv re Bytedance, Uber-Didi, Xiaomi…etc. Great advice for everyone to pack up, wander, build conviction yourself, not to rely on AI bots & play the long game

I started writing a LinkedIn post about our new Asia hire and ended up writing this and getting just a wee bit teary.

Oh what we can learn from our younger selves...

Congrats to the 2026 @notablecap NextGen Fellowship class. This is a remarkable group of students spending the summer interning at companies like OpenAI, Vercel & Tiktok while they explore their own startup ideas.

Excited to see what they spend the summer building as one of the Demo Day judges!

As many as 50% of venture-backed founders in Silicon Valley are first or second-generation immigrants.

The reason comes down to something you can't teach: what it feels like to be the other.

And by the time you're building a company, you've had 10,000 hours of training navigating what's unfamiliar & turning that into an edge.

Introducing ParaFormer: a transformer architecture for time series prediction which uses the same attention mechanism as LLMs. As it turns out, predicting the next number in a sequence is structurally the same problem as predicting the next word in a sentence. The result is a model that is a lot more performant in predicting seasonality and lowering variance for forecasting sales. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first production deployment of a transformer architecture for small business lending at this scale!
