?? And that’s a wrap, folks! "#Serendipity is a #superpower — but you only get lucky if you show up... #Startup success isn’t #meritocracy; it’s #proximity plus #privilege... Who you know #shortcuts all the due #diligence." A little over a week ago, I had the honor of speaking at #SXSW 2025 on a #panel over a year in the making —To Seed or Not to Seed. Expertly moderated by Lance T. Mason, CPA and alongside ethan austin (Outside VC) and Esosa Ighodaro (Black Women Talk Tech), we discussed some of the #inefficiencies in #venture #capital and explored ways to create a more #equitable landscape. It was an incredible experience, and I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to bring this conversation to the SXSW stage. The audience’s energy and engagement reminded us that this discussion is far from over — stay tuned as we’re just getting started! ?? Also, for those who couldn’t attend, click the link in the comments to watch the video recording! A few standout insights from my co-panelists: ?? ethan austin: “The biggest #opportunities are always where everyone else isn’t looking... If you’ve been excellent at anything in life, you can learn any #domain. Founder-market fit shouldn’t be so narrow.” ?? Esosa Ighodaro: “#Accelerators aren’t just #checks — they’re the first #community many #founders ever have... You can’t fix #bias upstream. You de-risk founders downstream by widening your aperture and sharing #resources.” ?????A massive thank you to Hugh Forrest, Jacqui Smith and the entire SXSW team for giving us the platform to dive into such a nuanced topic. Huge appreciation for our incredible interns Zoe Chamberlin, Deborah Popoola, and Sebastien D. —this wouldn’t have been possible without you. And shout-out to Ibukun Falaiye (Austin Production House) and Jeremy Rashad Brown for capturing it all beautifully. #SXSW2025 #VentureCapital #ToSeedOrNotToSeed #StartupFunding #Entrepreneurship

Pick your reality Techcrunch recently featured our vehicle during its showcase at SXSW ironically, just as we encountered BMS challenges that led us to use a Cybertruck to keep it charged. What started as a hiccup, however, sparked an unexpected silver lining. The outpouring of support and enthusiasm from the community has been incredible, overwhelmingly validating the demand for MAT (Modular Agile Transit) vehicles. This momentum has us energized to keep pushing forward, building on the pioneering vision. We’re excited to push forward what local created. Kudos to Additive Mobility for the incredible work.

I just found out about this recently, but is the future of AI plugging into everything like USB-C? ?? AI is becoming essential to how we work and create, but actually connecting AI to real-world data has been a mess - fragmented, complex, and full of custom integrations. That’s where Model Context Protocol (MCP) comes in - think of it like USB-C for AI, a universal standard that’s making AI integration seamless. ?? What is MCP? ?? MCP is a standardized way for AI models to connect with: ? Local files and databases ? Business tools and APIs ? Project management systems ? Email and communication platforms ?? Why This is a Game Changer ?? ? Context-Aware AI – AI can now actually understand your workspace and data in real time ? Universal Compatibility – No more custom integrations; AI works across platforms ? Enterprise-Grade Security – Fine-tuned control over what AI can access MCP is open-source and already being adopted by tools like Claude Desktop, Replit, Codeium, and Sourcegraph. ?? ?? The Bigger Picture ?? This is AI evolving beyond just generating text—it’s about real intelligence that understands and integrates into your digital world. Imagine AI that doesn’t just answer questions but actually knows your projects, tasks, and workflows without you having to explain everything. ? What are your predictions?

A bit daunting to think about, but our decisions now absolutely impact our health 10, 20, 30+ years later. Healthspan should be our focus...not lifespan. That timeframe is compacted for athletic careers. Luckily, there are preventative measures that help us continue doing what we love. #sportspsychology #sports #athlete #startup #growth
