In an obvious humblebrag, I'm proud to have taken the #6 spot on Business Insider's Top 100 Seed Investors for 2025! I owe this to all the amazing founders I've had the fortune to work with - being an investor is difficult, but it is nowhere near as difficult as being a founder.



#46 on the Business Insider top 100 seed investor list, on pace to be off the list by 2028 if the trend holds (prev years at #3, 18, 15, 29) Congrats to everyone who passed me, and to those who will next year! and ofc all credit to the BTV team (#1 in MY ranking) & founders

I'm among those laid off today Business Insider. Grateful for the opportunity to publish a wide range of impactful reporting the past 4 yrs. Please get in touch with any leads you think might be a good fit. Big thanks to all of my colleagues & sources who make this work possible.


News: Hebbia has made its first acquisition, of FlashDocs, a slide generator and fellow NYC-based startup. The move solves a last-mile problem for Hebbia users, CEO George Sivulka tells Upstarts Media exclusively, in a fiercely competitive AI app race. upstartsmedia.com/p/exclusive-he…

No boring press release. No Twitter thread filled with self-congratulations. Adam Guild from Owner, John Andrew Entwistle & Kyle Tibbitts from Wander, and many other clever founders are rewriting the script for startup fundraise announcements with the power of video. Check out

The startup comms playbooks are changing in real-time! Press coverage can still be powerful, but there are far more startups and funding rounds than the media ecosystem can/should support. So fun to chat with Melia Russell about this latest trend!


And I never went back. Congrats rahulvohra and early Superhuman investors including Bill Trenchard David Ulevitch 🇺🇸 Ajay Vashee on the Grammarly acquisition 🎉 Please don't ruin it!
