Othello has raised $8M to train specialized AI models that guide sales reps during live sales calls. Othello predicts the next best thing a sales rep should say during a call and delivers it on screen in under 500 milliseconds. Today Microsoft, Capital One, Lyft, and 30+ of the world's largest companies leverage Othello during live meetings. Until now, it has not been possible to intelligently augment sales calls in real-time. To solve this, Othello has developed a series of specialized models that deliver highly accurate, contextually relevant recommendations while maintaining near real-time latency.

China has invested a ton in energy over the last 25 years. The US has been mostly stagnant. An abundant future needs abundant energy! It's time to build.
Replying to @ruima
4/ Energy is considered a solved problem. The Chinese government’s investment in sustainable energy — from advanced hydropower to next-generation nuclear — means that, relative to many other markets, electricity supply is secure and inexpensive. Everywhere we went, people treated energy availability as a given. This is a stark contrast to the U.S., where AI growth is increasingly tied to debates over data center power consumption and grid limitations.

Having survived two previous market resets (2001, 2009), people frequently ask me how this 2022 market reset is different and how it is the same. The obvious similarity is that valuation multiples have collapsed. We went from a "glass very full" mindset to one with many concerns.

1/ Over ~20 yrs at @MenloVentures learning from @roku @chime @uber etc., one mistake is repeated repeatedly: Startups fail by building towards a mission vs an MVP. We’ve built a framework to help founders avoid that fate. How to design a winning MVP, using Roku as a case study:

Favorite part of @StartupGrind chat with CMO of @Chime Melissa Alvarado today: she was disheartened early in her career when she realized that traditional financial institutions have business models that rely on consumers living beyond their means.

“Fail fast” is almost certainly the most damaging startup advice. Widely quoted, proven to be incredibly wrong.
