we realized this in 2020, launched the @2020_fund, and then built @getpinxyz so any group of classmates, founders, operators can do the same 🫡

There are few people I believe in more than @hesam_motlagh building @Arkifi
Thankful to have gotten to invest through @2020_fund but upset I had to be an investment banker without its existence
80% of 80% of all economically valuable jobs will be capable of being done by AI.
Years ago I asked -- to the consternation of many -- whether we needed doctors.
Then I asked whether we needed teachers.
High time we ask whether we need financial analysts, bankers, traders, etc.
Welcome, @Arkifi

Simply put, @cyriac1 is a Silicon Valley legend.
Among other things, he is a pioneer of:
- location-based/mobile advertising
- calls from aliens (jk but clip below!)
- early cancer detection
1 of these things is not like the other. Learn how he made the jump on @somethingnewp0d

'@lmushin described @cyriac1 as the most impressive founder that's not a household name (yet), and he was right (for once 🤪)
Our newest episode of Something New features Cyriac, founder/CEO of Earli, an early cancer detection startup that's raised $60m+ from Khosla, a16z, and more.
Before founding the company, Cyriac didn't have a science/medical background, but he used his experience as a serial entrepreneur to team up with his scientific co-founder (and pioneer of cancer research) and build Earli into the force it is today.
Before Earli, Cyriac built and sold several companies, including one that made viral mobile marketing a thing before it was a thing 😏 (see clip!)
