Full Interview Transcript
My partners and I invest in early stage AI companies focused on developer tools, productivity, and infrastructure. I like to think we invest in companies that power the companies that you hear of every day.
Q: Jesse, as you look to the next 12 months what are your priorities right now?
I’m focused on ivesting in pre-seed and seed companies, often where there is a strong AI component to enabling new ways of writing software, of managing and deploying software, of managing infrastructure that kind of powers everything. The last 12 months have shown us there’s this incredible shift occurring, and so the next 12 months is going to be about helping our companies scale and grow and hire and raise more Capital and to reach a lot more Enterprise companies that are our amazing customers.
Q: Jesse tell me who are some of your companies?
Some of our larger late stage companies or companies like PagerDuty that was listed on NYSE. Other ones like LaunchDarkly and Snyk and Sanity, as well as smaller companies that are sort of at the pre-seed and Seed stage including Shipyard and Radar (a New York company), Mobot (another New York company), and many others.
