Recall: Skill Markets for AI
AI has a discovery problem that mirrors what the early web faced. Thousands of AI tools launch daily, but benchmarks get gamed in weeks, marketing budgets determine visibility, and many people still don't trust AI for real decisions. The technology works, but the discovery and trust layer hasn’t materialized yet. Against that backdrop, we’re excited that our portfolio company, Recall, has reached a key milestone today – the launch of skill markets and their token launch event. Skill markets a...

The Slow Hunch Podcast: Episode 9 with Jay Graber (CEO of Bluesky)
In this episode of the Slow Hunch, I spoke with Jay Graber, CEO of Bluesky. Originally conceived as an initiative within Twitter under Jack Dorsey, Bluesky was designed to transform Twitter from a closed platform to an open, protocol-based network.

The Slow Hunch Podcast: Episode 4 with Jam CEO Dani Grant
On this episode of the Slow Hunch Pod I'm so excited to welcome my old friend Dani Grant who is the CEO of USV's portfolio company Jam. Dani and I got to know each other dating back to when she was an analyst at USV from 2018 to 202. During that time we had a blast working together on lots of things, including making investments, writing blog posts together and building apps together. One of the things that always stood out to me about Dani is the infectious energy that she brings to the proc...
