M.G. Siegler shared thisI'm not sure the world is ready for the AI personal assistant takeover. But I'm fairly certain the technology is now ready. The proactive capabilities will be the key to it working (or not) this time. https://lnkd.in/e_CjXJiq

M.G. Siegler shared thisI can't decide if Bee-like devices will be everywhere soon – Apple Watch will get similar functionality with a coming software update – or if they will be *banned* everywhere soon. The reason: the tech, powered by modern AI is almost shockingly good. 🐝 https://lnkd.in/ef7J2eQ5

M.G. Siegler reposted thisM.G. Siegler reposted thisToday Dolapo Falola and I are introducing Scuba, the shared context engine for teams and their agents. Never lose a great idea. Capture anything, share what matters, and keep your people and agents aligned as you move faster together. This one is personal. Before my mom passed, she made me promise my next job would make every workday feel like a weekend hobby. Every day building with Scuba feels like Saturday. Everyone is moving faster on their own with AI. But so few teams feel they’re moving smarter together. The models aren't intelligence bound anymore. They're context constrained. Scuba is the shared memory your team has been missing. Put it to work in Slack, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any tool that supports MCP. We run our whole company on it, with under two hours of meetings a week. We’re emerging from stealth with $34 million over two rounds. We’re grateful to Accel for leading our pre-seed and co-leading our seed with IVP, alongside BoxGroup, Conviction, Homebrew, and Scribble Ventures. Our angels include the founders of Slack (Stewart Butterfield Cal Henderson), Instagram (Mike Krieger), Stripe (Patrick Collison), LinkedIn (Reid Hoffman Jeff Weiner), Salesforce (Parker Harris), Datadog (Olivier Pomel), Vanta (Christina Cacioppo), Harvey (Winston Weinberg), Dropbox (Drew Houston), Abridge (Shiv (Shivdev) Rao), Duolingo (Severin Hacker), Granola (Christopher Pedregal), Warp (Zach Lloyd), Zynga (Mark Pincus), Groupon (Andrew Mason), Coda (Shishir Mehrotra), Opendoor (Eric Wu), and Flatiron Health (Zach Weinberg). Frontier models aren't intelligence bound anymore. They're context constrained. Bring your own brain and apply for early access: https://scuba.app.

M.G. Siegler liked thisM.G. Siegler liked thisThank you, Dennis Crowley. You knocked over the first domino in a series of events that led to me getting back into venture after my own failed startup, and you've always reminded people that tech's goal should be to bring us together in the real world. For those of you younger folks in tech who've seen the news about Foursquare's sale and are scratching your head as to why people are so nostalgic about this company, you have to understand what it meant to New York City tech at the time. In late 2008, the financial crisis had put venture funding in New York City into a deep freeze. The New York startup scene was seen as being driven by Wall Street wealth, and if that dried up, New York and the entrepreneurs in it were fully expected to pick up their marbles and go home (the way they did when the dot-com era burst). There wasn't a previous generation of tech startups to go back to working at large tech companies, the way it was in the Bay Area. Instead, quite the opposite happened. The hottest startup funding in 2009 didn't come out of the Valley, and it didn't come out of Boston. It blew up in the late summer of 2009 in New York City. Just before that, a string of blog posts between me (https://lnkd.in/e-AFURZQ), Fred Wilson (https://lnkd.in/e45HYBGR), and M.G. Siegler (https://lnkd.in/e28uttJH) at TechCrunch kicked off a hyper-competitive month for funding the next big thing in social networking. As Eric Friedman put it (https://lnkd.in/e8MBEJ4m), Foursquare "had captured the zeitgeist of New York tech" and "became a magnet for talent." Moreover, it was the backbone of a scene that was fueled by meetup hopping and IRL gatherings. Nostalgia for Foursquare is less of a story about missed equity upside than a story about a generation of New York tech kids, before we all had kids, trying to build a friendlier, less lonely internet. Plus, true New Yorkers always have a bit of place nostalgia for the spots that used to be. I don't miss the digital crown of Mayorship of Coffee Shop and my hard fought battle with Fred Wilson for it nearly as much as I miss the actual place and actually running into him and nearly everyone else from the tech community there. You can hear Dennis talk about bringing people together in the real world at dev/ai/nyc this Wednesday: https://luma.com/sjnwdzsw
