Thx to the founders, operators & investors who joined us in our SF office yesterday for a great convo w/ @hanstung, @chelcietay & @rarescrisan. From how to navigate a career in VC to what it takes to win as a founder, we also loved digging into the vertical applications and infrastructure layer of AI. Special thx to @BLCKVC for bringing us together!
