Dylan Patel says Nvidia’s next CEO has to hold off OpenAI, Broadcom, Google, Anthropic, Meta, Amazon, and AMD chip teams, who are all 'fucking good' “It’s not like you’re fighting, no knocks against Palo Alto Networks, but their competitors are not that amazing, versus Nvidia’s fighting an OpenAI chip team, a Broadcom chip team, a Google chip team, an Anthropic chip team, a Meta chip team, Amazon chip team. These guys are fucking good. AMD. They’re all really good, and all these startups.” “They’re all good. It’s not like they’re incompetent. I think it’s very different. As great as Lisa Su is, she took down Intel, who’s incompetent.” “What is the person who defined a category and created it and kept all the invaders at bay? It’s very different than being second place or making smart tactical business decisions, innovating on something once there’s already a category established. It’s just very different.”

In June @NaderLikeLadder emailed Jensen about a crazy idea we had over dinner to make Local AI 10x better on NVIDIA hardware. Jensen replied in 7 minutes. He saw this as important work, and approved a war room for us to work on this at NVIDIA HQ. For a month, NVIDIA HQ was the @exolabs satellite office. We were overwhelmed by the support we got. We were back to back the first week with smart NVIDIANs coming in to our war room to help us. Creators of CUDA, Dynamo, people who built NVIDIA. Long story short with NVIDIA we managed to improve their Local AI playbooks by 9.6x (almost the 10x goal we set out with). We’ll be publishing a whitepaper on this work. We were just a small startup with a crazy idea. Jensen took a bet on us. Jensen cares deeply about Open Source AI and Local AI. I don't believe Jensen is replaceable, he's a 1 of 1 human, but I hope NVIDIA will continue to aggressively support Open Source AI and Local AI, and continue to take bets on small startups with crazy ideas. Thank you Jensen

0G is building the largest Layer-1 for AI. George Varghese is bringing that perspective to BitAngels Singapore. George (@vargs_g), Strategic Advisor at @0G_Foundation, joins us during @TOKEN2049 week. 0G runs an accelerator for AI-native startups and backs its ecosystem with an $88.88M fund, so he sees a steady stream of what founders at the AI and crypto intersection are building. Anyone raising in decentralized AI, he's the one to find on the day. 📅 Friday, October 9, 2026 | 10:45 AM – 2:30 PM SGT 🎟️ Get your ticket:

I've watched content, and marketing generally, turn into a waste of time at early to mid-stage startups. So, I wrote about 4 real cases where you're better off just saving your marketing budget and what you should be doing instead.

The Claude Startups program is expanding to more founders. Members can get a year of Claude Team, API credits, special offers on the tools a startup runs on, and office hours with Anthropic’s Applied AI team.

What Menlo has done over the last 24 months is exceptional. Yes, they did Anthropic’s round at $4BN that will make them $50BN+ as a firm. NICE! But they then took that and went f****** hard. They do Lovable, Higgsfield, Legora. They compounded the brand win of Anthropic to cement their position from respectfully a slightly ageing firm to being a dominant venture leader at the forefront with Thrive, a16z, Benchmark etc. It is incredible to see and I sat down with @venkyganesan to shoot the s*** on this. 1. Every Seed Investment Is an Option Bet Seed-stage deals function as financial options to discover true outlier potential before committing major capital. VCs must construct a broad enough portfolio to secure sufficient at-bats, only sizing up their position when quantifiable, revenue-based metrics prove an outlier has emerged. 2. What Is the First Sign of the AI Wave Cracking? Market cycles rarely collapse due to equity write-downs. They fracture when levered debt defaults occur. When market participants take on heavy leverage during an AI boom, precise timing becomes as critical as being directionally correct, making debt obligations the primary failure vector when cycles turn. 3. Why Every VC Must Now Prioritize IRR Every startup in the current landscape writes a structural tax to the Mag 7 and hyperscalers for compute and foundation models. Because LPs can buy index exposure to those same public tech giants without fees or carry, private VCs must generate outsized IRR performance, beating public markets by at least 1,000 basis points, to justify private capital allocation. 4. Why LPs Wanting Smaller Funds and Slower Deployment Is BS LPs cannot demand both smaller fund sizes and multi-year deployment paces in the middle of a generational platform shift. Because AI startups face immense capital requirements to scale compute, VC firms that refuse to deploy capital rapidly will watch competitors step in and capture the category winners. 5. The Theory of Reflexivity and How It's Causing Markups Reflexivity creates self-reinforcing loops where fast revenue growth triggers rapid valuation markups, attracting elite human and financial capital that further accelerates growth. However, when copycat investors chase markups for momentum rather than underlying fundamentals, reflexive valuation bubbles inflate until market realities force an inevitable correction. 6. Sometimes You Pay Up Because You Have Unique Insight Premium entry prices are not always the result of irrational bidding. They often stem from an investor's ability to recognize a fundamentally larger total addressable market than the consensus. When a VC possesses unique conviction around an expanding market opportunity, paying above current rates reflects calculated foresight rather than price-taking behavior. 7. There's No Limit to What a Person Can Do as Long as They Don't Care Who Gets the Credit Personal ego remains one of the most expensive liabilities in venture capital and company building. True long-term success requires setting aside individual notoriety, focusing ruthlessly on generating LP returns, and empowering teammates and founders without worrying about who receives the public credit.

One of the most compelling parts about working at an ElonCo was the agility to pivot to whatever the most important problem was. One day I said: I wasn’t hired to go after spam, but a tsunami is coming and I’m going to drop everything to focus on that. The org is so flat and agile that your title is basically meaningless. Anyone can sound the alarm about a problem and solve it themselves—or rally the team to join them. This is how startups work but it’s very hard to make it work in a larger company.

YC and dropout culture have convinced us the ideal founder is 22, straight out of school, but the data tells a different story. Some interesting data: - An MIT study of 2.7 million US founders found that the average founder was 47 when starting a company that later exited through an acquisition or IPO. - The same study cited that the founders of the fastest-growing 0.1% of U.S. startups were 45 years old on average when they started their companies. - A 50-year-old founder was approximately twice as likely as a 30-year-old founder to produce an acquisition or IPO. - Founders with at least three years of relevant industry experience were twice as likely to build a top-0.1%-growth company as founders with none. So it seems that experience is one of the strongest advantages a founder can have. Two lessons here: 1. It's never too late to start 2. It might actually be TOO early to start; getting work experience is worth considering
