Everyone is trying to figure out where the puck is going.

There's not a single law firm I use that I would stay with if a key lawyer working on my stuff left. I don't think I'm all that unique among my peers. Law firms better figure that out.View quoted post on X
Huge congrats to our client, @hyperbolic_labs! These guys have been totally crushing it in the extremely competitive markets for compute.
We’ve raised an oversubscribed $30M Series A1 led by @walden_catalyst to build the Global Compute Grid.
We’re turning fragmented GPU capacity into one unified platform where AI teams can access, manage, sell, and orchestrate compute.
Our mission: make the world’s compute unified, productive and liquid.View quoted post on X
