Hi Casters. My partner @nickgrossman.eth wrote a long post about our agentic stack thesis at USV yesterday https://blog.usv.com/the-rebel-alliance-2
\ \ Union Square Ventures\ \ The Rebel Alliance\ \ We believe that the AI opportunity is too big and too important to be owned by any one company. Instead, we see a massive ecosystem emerging around the agentic AI stack. We refer to it as the Rebel Alliance, and we believe it's not just competing, but is structurally positioned to lead. What began as a simple "chat app" experience has matured into the agentic era. More powerful models, combined with better tooling to orchestrate and connect them, have made it possible to build truly capable a...](https://blog.usv.com/the-rebel-alliance-2)

Hi Casters. I have been trading the world cup prediction markets with an agent I made that I call Pele. I wrote about that today https://avc.xyz/my-pele-agent?referrer=0xB8332710AB60A1B2e8FE6D775d83524C9E0cE136
\ \ AVC\ \ My Pele Agent\ \ I've been playing around with agent harnesses since OpenClaw dropped at the start of the year. I've been particularly interested in agents who have money and can transact for me. So I've been doing the classic Chris Dixon weekend hobby thing and hacking around on fun stuff that isn't the least bit mission-critical to anyone. Given that we are fast approaching the knockout round of the World Cup, I thought I'd blog about a particularly fun project that I did last month and have been actively u...](https://avc.xyz/my-pele-agent?referrer=0xB8332710AB60A1B2e8FE6D775d83524C9E0cE136)

Hi Casters. I wrote about our reboot of our long standing analyst program after taking a year off and using AI instead. The bottom line is agents can do large parts of the analyst job but the human parts of the job require humans. Which is probably pretty obvious.

Hi Casters. I wrote about a new app called Flipcash that lets users create currencies that take a little bit from Stablecoins, a little bit from Memecoins, and a little bit from Bitcoin https://avc.xyz/create-your-own-currency-with-flipcash
\ \ AVC\ \ Create Your Own Currency With Flipcash\ \ Our portfolio company Flipcash shipped a product last month that does something pretty interesting. It takes a little bit from three well-understood crypto concepts and combines them into something new. Like memecoins, anyone can create a new crypto asset in Flipcash. But unlike memecoins, these assets have a reserve and are price-stabilized at their initial value, meaning they can't go all the way to zero. And like Bitcoin, there is a fixed supply of each of them. The Flipcash website does a...](https://avc.xyz/create-your-own-currency-with-flipcash)

Hi Casters. Building agents with AI tools is so much easier when you have a computer in the cloud you can use to access your data in all of the silos on the web. I wrote about one such computer, Tasklet's Task Computer, today https://avc.xyz/tasklets-task-computer
\ \ AVC\ \ Tasklet's Task Computer\ \ Our portfolio company Tasklet is a platform for making agents that do things for you. USV uses it to create agents that automate a lot of work for us. This post, which I mentioned last week, explains how USV uses Tasklet. Recently, Tasklet launched a feature called Task Computer which is a Linux computer in the cloud that can do things for you and automate them. My wife, The Gotham Gal, is using Task Computer to log into her Instagram account, go to her Instagram Collections, and pull out all...](https://avc.xyz/tasklets-task-computer)

Hi Casters. Instead of endlessly debating the impacts of AI on society, we should be modeling them in order to make the right policy decisions. My partner Albert and his agent helpers did just that.

Hi Casters. About six months ago, we set out to make USV fully agentic. We recruited Spencer Yen to help us and he wrote this blog post explaining what we built and why. https://blog.usv.com/meet-the-agents
\ \ Union Square Ventures\ \ Meet the Agents at USV: Arthur, Ellie, Sally, and Friends\ \ There’s a great story in Stewart Brand’s How Buildings Learn about how a temporary wooden structure left over from World War II became one of the most loved buildings at MIT. During the war, MIT needed a new building to house the urgent classified development of radar technology. They hastily built a three story wood structure to fit the thousands of additional researchers: You know those time lapse photographs they make of construction of skyscrapers?

"When a novel technology arrives, early infrastructure is controlled (or attempted to be controlled) by a small number of players who prefer to create and extract value inside their walls (so called “walled gardens”). The user's experiences here are typically good enough (or novel enough) that most users don’t ask what they're missing. And then something happens: bottom-up, a set of open protocols emerges that are permissionless and composable. From here, native use cases that couldn't exist inside the walled gardens begin to bloom"

Hi Casters. I like to bet on the Masters every year. It makes it more fun to watch the tournament. This year I moved my bets to Coinbase Predictions on the Coinbase app. My strategy is always to bet on a couple favorites and if I do, I get all of the money I bet back. Then I bet on some mid shots and some long shots. Here are all of my bets

Hi Casters. VCs and crypto VCs, in particular, get a bad rap and deservedly so in many cases. But there are also investors out there who are thoughtful, patient, and provide leadership for the sector.

Hi Casters. I read @mhd's excellent piece on VC and startups this morning and penned this reaction https://avc.xyz/vibe-alignment
\ \ AVC\ \ Vibe Alignment\ \ Michael Dempsey has a great framing for the secret sauce in the founder/VC relationship. He calls it "vibe alignment" in this excellent and far-reaching post about where we are in the startup/VC world right now. It is certainly possible and probably quite common to build a successful company with an investor syndicate you don't relate to and don't like. But it is not fun.

Hi Casters. If you use Gmail and don't use Gemini to search your email, you are doing it wrong. I wrote this today about that. https://avc.xyz/gemini-makes-gmail-so-much-better
\ \ AVC\ \ Gemini Makes Gmail So Much Better\ \ I remember back in 2006 or 2007 when I switched from Outlook email to Gmail. During my Outlook years, I would folder most of my emails and delete the rest so that if I wanted to find an email, I could go look in the folder for it. When I started using Gmail, I set up the same folders, but quickly realized that wasn't necessary because Gmail search was so good I could just search all of my email and find whatever I needed. But the truth is Gmail search wasn't that good and like all you I have ...](https://avc.xyz/gemini-makes-gmail-so-much-better)

\ \ AVC\ \ I'm Coding Again\ \ I started programming when I was in high school and helped pay my way through MIT by writing Fortran code in a research lab. I got a job writing software for a naval architecture firm right out of college, and then helped pay my way through grad school by doing some freelance coding gigs. When I got into VC in the mid 80s, I stopped writing code. Other than some UI/UX tweaking here and there, I have not written much code in almost forty years.

Hi Casters. When I launched my writer coin on Paragraph earlier today, I didn't think to explain what I was doing and why before launching it. That was a mistake and so I've now posted this to lay all of that out. I got the order of operations wrong, but hopefully everyone will understand. https://avc.xyz/the-dollaravc-writer-coin
\ \ The $AVC Writer Coin\ \ One of my strongly held beliefs is that new technologies often spur (and sometimes demand) new business models. And these new business models can often open up entirely new markets. In web2, we saw freemium (a word that was invented here at AVC) and marketplace models (like crowdfunding) that unleashed entirely new ways of monetizing businesses and hobbies as well.

My most recent mints on @zora. It would be cool if Zora had the same "share to Farcaster" feature as Rodeo.

Hi Casters. If you read anything today, read this post by my friend Bethany on how she made an app for her kids to enjoy museums without writing a single line of code.

Hi Casters. I wrote about the idea of a home office, just not at your home today. It's called Framework and its located in Williamsburg Brooklyn. More here https://avc.xyz/framework-at-the-refinery
\ \ Framework At The Refinery\ \ Back during COVID, the Gotham Gal and I, along with the team in our family office, debuted our "sustainable" apartment building development business in Brooklyn, called Frame Home. We had two small ground floor retail spaces to lease in our first building, Frame283, and nobody wanted them. So Alex O'Daly, who helps us run our family office, suggested we make a "covid safe co-working space" in the ground floor. And so we did. We called it Framework and it opened in early 2021. The concept is s...](https://avc.xyz/framework-at-the-refinery)

Hi Casters. Following up on this cast, https://warpcast.com/fredwilson.eth/0x4ef6745d, I also think it would be good I could use Warpcast to consume Zora and Rodeo posts and visa versa.

Hi Casters. I am really enjoying the community that is on Farcaster, Zora, and Rodeo. The combination of the three feels creative, fun, new, and different. What would be even better is if they shared a social graph and a follow on one is a follow on all of them. Seems like something Web3 should encourage.

Hi Casters. I love it when two food cultures come together and make something awesome. Apparently the Lebanese immigrants to Mexico brought shawarma with them and that resulted in the al pastor taco.

This is the first hole at Quaker Ridge. A reachable par five for the big hitters but a treacherous sloping elevated green back to front. This is the approach shot if you lay up.

Hi Casters. The other night I was talking to my wife, aka the Gotham Gal, and I remarked that she has had quite a varied career with over forty different jobs, most of them during the forty-four years we've been together. And I suggested she write a blog post listing all of them. She did that today. It's quite a list https://gothamgal.com/2024/09/job-list/
\ \ Gotham Gal\ \ Job List\ \ At dinner, we were discussing Gotham—not shocking—and Fred said you should blog about every job you have had. Undoubtedly, the dots connect, and every experience is worthy in its own right. There were some side hustles here, like raising three kids, cooking most nights of the week, a couple of random design projects, and the […]](https://gothamgal.com/2024/09/job-list/)
