Founders, Turn up your volume and listen to this clip. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of speaking on a panel to discuss the role of media in startups. The best founders aren’t just building their companies, they are building their personal brands.

LLMs know almost everything, yet they still know nothing about you. Current models are limited by: Integrations:?Current AI assistants can’t access external apps or your personal accounts, limiting their ability to leverage information from your digital ecosystem. Personalization:?Responses remain generalized, as they lack insights into your preferences, experiences, and unique needs. This week's company, MindPalace, founded by Jared Spiegel & Matthew Gardner, is a?hyper-personalized?AI model that?integrates?your data into a single platform, providing?insights, recommendations, and productivity enhancements. ?Think of MindPalace as "‘Chat GPT’ for personal information," trained not just on the world’s knowledge, but on your email, iMessage, Slack, Notion, Spotify, and more to provide a 360-degree view of your digital life.

A masterpiece in itself... Last week, we hosted our Investor Gala at Silver Art’s stunning 44,000 sq. ft. space in the World Trade Center. We brought together the next generation of NYC's venture and growth equity investors for an evening of conversation, collaboration, community, and art. This one was special. cc Bulletpitch, Varun, Silver Arts, Shannon, Keith, Gregory

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, finding and filling available charging units is increasingly challenging for drivers and properties alike. Here’s why: 1. Low Turnover: Drivers leave their cars at chargers long after they’re fully charged, limiting charger availability and reducing turnover. 2. Limited Access: Over 32% of U.S. residents in multifamily housing have minimal or no access to on-site EV charging. 3. Underutilized Infrastructure: Some properties over-install chargers to meet peak demand, resulting in high upfront costs and idle infrastructure during off-peak hours. This week’s company, BreatheEV, founded by Max Bregman and Tony Manjooran,?is a reservation-based electric vehicle (EV) charging system and app that improves access for drivers and boosts reliability and revenue for properties. Think of BreatheEV as the “Airbnb for EV Charging,” where users book their charging spot ahead of time, optimizing usage just as Airbnb maximizes room occupancy. Some Notable Investors Include: Investors:?Dorm Room Fund,?New Venture Challenge,?Eric Ries,?Dan Tyre,?Ray Croghan, and other angels.

We pulled it off… The goal was simple: create an unforgettable experience where exceptional people meet—and exceptional people will come. Hosting some of the best founders, investors, family offices, and operators in Los Angeles was nothing short of amazing. Huge thanks to our partners (Google Cloud, Fidelity Private Shares, HubSpot For Startups, Ramp, Deel, UBS) who made this event possible and continue to empower founders across the Bulletpitch ecosystem. Bulletpitch is redefining venture, and this is how we do it.

Outpatient clinics like dental and physical therapy offices often struggle to get paid on time due to complicated billing processes. These clinics currently rely on: 1. Manual Entry: Billing is handled by people, making it slow, costly, and challenging to manage due to a shortage of skilled workers. 2. Outdated Tech:?Software that is is unreliable and slow, making it difficult to manage accounts accurately and in a timely manner. This week's company IrisMed, founded by Han Jing & Shen Lu,?is a medical billing software that leverages AI-driven agents to automate administrative workflows in outpatient clinics. Imagine IrisMed as Zapier for outpatient clinics' financial workflows, connecting various systems and automating billing tasks that traditionally require multiple software tools and manual input.

Bulletpitch is hosting our first annual Investor Gala in NYC. Here's the backstory: Varun, one of the sharpest young VCs and angel investors I know (and my incredible co-host), and I had the idea to bring together the next generation of New York’s venture capital and growth equity investors. Our thought was simple: if we connect emerging talent now, they can: 1. Build relationships—since investors rarely prioritize meeting each other as they focus on founders or internally on their firms. 2. Become part of an ongoing community that grows year after year as they advance as VCs. It’s time to get in on the ground floor of something truly special. We wanted to create more than just a "networking" event. Instead, we envisioned an experience where investors can converse with a complimentary glass of wine in hand while appreciating some of the best art NYC has to offer. That’s why we partnered with the best art space in NYC. The event will be hosted at Silver Art’s 44,000 square foot artist residency and studio space in World Trade Center 4, often called the “YC for artists.” A big thank you to Silver Art Board members: Gregory, Shannon, and Keith for allowing us to use their space and for being fantastic partners to Bulletpitch and the broader venture community. Word is spreading, as applications have been flooding in. You can apply to join the event using the link in the comments.

The majority of people are addicted to their phones and efforts to limit screen time are often ineffective. Common solutions to limit phone use include: 1. App Blockers: Which can easily be disabled or bypassed when the temptation to check the phone becomes too strong. 2. Deleting Apps:?This is temporary at best, as users frequently redownload apps as soon as their urge returns. This week’s company?BePresent, founded by Jack Winston and Charles Winston,?is a platform that helps users reduce screen time by leveraging psychology-based social gamification and real-life rewards.
