Welcome @mvernal! šŸ‘

Iā€™m joining @saranormous, @prnvrdy and the team at @conviction! The past two years have been the best. Iā€™ve enjoyed the freedom to travel with my family and (assistant) coach my sonā€™s Little League teams, all while continuing to try to help some of the founders and companies Iā€™ve worked with over the past decade. These two years have confirmed that I love hanging out with my family ā€¦ and itā€™s really fun to spend time with amazing, ambitious, impatient entrepreneurs. We are living through the most exciting technological change of our lifetime (of anyoneā€™s lifetime?). We are on the cusp of having an infinite supply of intelligence. We can literally just convert electricity into intelligence. Itā€™s hard to sit that one out. I have known Sarah Guo for years. Sheā€™s one of the smartest, hardest-working, most connected and admired investors out there. Founders love her. Over the past two years, she and the team at Conviction have built one of the most exciting new firms in years. In just two years they have partnered with @harvey_ai, @MistralAI, @SierraPlatform, @cognition_labs, @HeyGen_Official, @cartesia_ai and more. Thatā€™s pretty good. In a short period, Sarah and Pranav have emerged as the partners of choice for AI-native companies. Even more impressive than the track record is the ethos, ambition and culture of the firm (. At Conviction, we are building a small, hands-on team that deeply understands the technological revolution that is underway, that can serve as a connector between the builders at the center of it and that has the patience, independence and conviction to take an extremely long-term perspective. And itā€™s fun to be back at a startup! There are cardboard boxes everywhere and a random humanoid robot hanging out in the kitchen. The most fun Iā€™ve had in my working career was the early, fast-scaling days at Facebook ā€“Ā itā€™s fun to be back. I have been fortunate to work with some amazing teams and founders over the past decade (thank you!). Luckily Iā€™ll continue to work with a few ā€“ @getcaptionsapp, @clay_gtm, @NotionHQ, @Rippling, @Statsig ā€“ for the rest, please donā€™t be a stranger. I am grateful to Sarah, Pranav, Christy, Niki and Vivian for welcoming me in and trusting me to be part of the team. And lastly and most importantly, I am so grateful to my wife and my kids who have hung out with me for the past two years and have been supportive of this new journey.
