Very soon you'll be meeting your "AI colleagues." And this is a great opportunity for startups. Why? AI is reshaping the labor market. From AI colleagues like programmers and sales agents to full AI-powered vendors, like law firms or HR. More here:

Starting a company is a new way for exceptional talent in Latin America to impact the region’s future. It's a new form of public service. Today, @PeteFlint and I break down how this shared mission is driving LatAm's rise

Advice from @bchesky to aspiring entrepreneurs at @StanfordGSB “You have to be very careful about seeking prestige because that means sometimes you won’t get your hands dirty. And if you don’t, you won’t learn the underlying principles needed to build sth meaningful”

Been thinking about how does the "typical startup of the future" will look like with AI... -Smaller, 10x more productive teams -Global since day 1 -Better margins -Way less funding needed -What else? Things are about to look really different

@HarryStebbings The hard thing about this role is that if you’re good at it you’re likely better off working for yourself. Had trouble finding suitable candidates for similar roles in the past and that was my conclusion

The LatAm grocery industry is extremely fragmented, a trait that makes it ripe for disruption. That's why we're backing Clubbi's B2B marketplace for small grocers in the region. @peteflint and I break down why @NFX is co-leading their $12M round:

It’s just as hard to build a mediocre company as a transformative one. Both will take 100% of your time. "Find the fast moving water" is a mental model to supercharge your efforts and head in the right direction @NFX @JamesCurrier

@TaraViswanathan Totally agree! My only caveat would be - don't expect an investor read a full memo before having piqued their interest first. Decks could be a good tool to help investors answer "is worth spend time or not?" but memos are def more helpful in explaining the business

Past fellows quotes: "I learned more as a Fellow than I did during a year of MBA classes" "If you want to get a taste of early stage investing, you have to be involved with NFX. They are willing to spend time with you and teach you the ropes and are genuinely founder friendly."

I get that the idea of AI workers can feel weird ... And it may reduce some roles in the short term. But in the long run, we believe many SMBs will thrive. It's never been easier to get a new business off the ground, and grow it.
