Excited to be part of the team tackling our global efforts and to help spearhead our international investing alongside my partner @astrange!
We believe AI is the great equalizer. For the first time, billions of people can access PhD-level intelligence from a phone. Talent is more distributed than ever, and Silicon Valley is ultimately a state of mind.
We’re already seeing this shift play out. Great global companies are being born outside the U.S. and scaling faster than ever: ElevenLabs, Black Forest Labs, Mistral, Lovable, Decart, Manus, Sakana, Wonderful, and many others are just the beginning.
Our goal is simple: build a bridge between the United States and the world’s best founders, operators, and technologists — and partner with them to win globally.
We’ll also continue doubling down on immigrant founders in the U.S. through our Borderless network. Immigrants have founded or co-founded 59% of America’s privately held billion-dollar startups, including companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, Databricks, Stripe, Ramp, Safe Superintelligence, Anysphere, Vercel, and RunwayML.
The next generation of category-defining companies will be born anywhere and scale everywhere, and we want to be the partner of choice for the founders building them.
