Another reason why
@sevensevensix
continues to be at the forefront of the industry 💪
Founders need great outcomes, not great intentions. They deserve more from their investors than a check, and we built
@sevensevensix
to deliver.
Starting today,
@cristina_laki
is stepping into a brand new Partner role dedicated to listening to and co-creating with our founders.

Ooooh man I cannot wait to share what we've been cooking up with this next Lighthouse release 💡🏠
Founders - how many of you struggle to keep track of data on web3 VCs? From which firms lead to who invests at different stages, we know it can be a nightmare getting this info.
If only there was a tool to replace all of those static, outdated spreadsheets and Notion pages... 👀

"Exo's use of Llama 405B and consumer-grade devices to run inference at scale on the edge shows that the future of AI is open source and decentralized." -
