This is the way forward @founders_everwhere__!! Congrats on building the foundational layer for the future of founders + venture discovery 🤝

This has been a dream job and the show only gets better from here
There aren’t better supporters of early-stage founders out there. Point Blank. No questions asked. Congrats to @DAnconia_Crypto and @MoneroMahesh for putting even more powder behind the rebels, the truth-talkers and those who are out there “firing their boss” and getting after it!!
Congrats @DAnconia_Crypto and @MoneroMahesh on closing Venture Fund II 🙌
Since co-leading @RumiLabs_io’s pre-seed, @EV3ventures has supported us far beyond capital: always showing up w/ real conviction & hands-on help.
Grateful to have you in our corner, and excited for all the founders you’ll back next

Our belief at @odysseyml is that video models don’t go far enough.
What if a model could dream video in real-time, that's playable & personalized to the viewer, with dials to make it as fun, zen, or epic as you want?
That’s what we’re building, and here’s what V1 looks like! ❤️
Yo @RumiLabs_io check this ;)
Most formative time of our Startup Journey was spent working with @lmrankhan @QwQiao and @DangerWillRobin in @alliancedao #ALL8.

What you’re really feeling now within AI is the “third derivative” of the “network”s position. Some call it “jerk” - it’s a good description once you wrap your head around speed (1st) and acceleration (2nd).
