I’ve just launched my first podcast. It’s called The Design VC. It’s about the intersection of creativity + capital, and how design shapes early-stage startups (for better and worse). First episodes: @destraynor (Intercom), @jakek + @jazer, @katearonowitz (GV).

Really cool AI teammate tool for folks who live and work inside WhatsApp and Slack. The thing I like the most about the tool is that it doesn't wait to be told what to do. Instead it learns about your business and suggests tasks it can take off your plate.

Today, we're launching Ako: our AI teammate that completes work for you in Slack and WhatsApp. Ako works across your team, connects to all your tools and gets work done. Try: withako.com You've heard this pitch before, so I'll cover the principles Ako is built

After five years advising early-stage founders, I’ve noticed a recurring pattern: the thing founders obsess over most isn’t always the thing that determines whether they succeed. The harder part often starts after launch. medium.com/the-design-vc/…

I personally like the look of the new Ferrari Luce by Jonny Ives, but charging is a bit of a pain.

There’s a familiar Libertarian story about Europe: Too much bureaucracy. Too much regulation. Too many worker protections. Too much privacy law. That’s why Europe doesn’t produce as many tech giants. It’s a neat argument. I’m just not sure it survives contact with detail.
