apropos @EarthlingVC global HQ (i.e. me) will be based out of Istanbul for all of August I will be lazy and put it in the ether: if you're building cool stuff from Turkey I'd love to connect! (and very amped one of our portcos is investing in Turkish talent :) )

We are hiring aggressively in Istanbul. If you’re a cracked SWE who can make Fable 5 bleed, DM me. This is the best engineering opportunity in Turkey right now.

8 new @EarthlingVC investments so far in 2026: > 0 in SF (2x DC/Baltimore, SoCal, Miami, NY, Chicago, France, UK) > 7 first/second checks > 5 pure hardware plays TL;DR hardware talent pool outside of SF is vast

I'm very amped for @EarthlingVC to be a tiny, tiny sponsor for @thejfloor (and I will be at the launch event April 16th :) ) I'm long on Zurich on producing a disproportionate amount of unicorn companies in this cycle of tech, and many, many of them will pass through JFloor

Amped to be an early check into @MarikHazan (via @EarthlingVC) on this "Vibe coding" and AI-generated code/agents are vaporizing the value of middleware. As such, it seems increasingly likely that the value of the picks and shovels layer of generalized app creation is asymptotically heading to 0 (other than possibly some monopolistic winner). The idea of being a studio that leverages AI to ideate, build, and test apps really, really fast and accumulate a previously impossibly huge portfolio of apps is the most logical, but still contrarian and controversial vibe coding company — and that's typically where I like to invest. Marik was the first builder I’ve seen instrumenting this insight

Just raised $5.1M to build agents as fully autonomous founders. @feltsensefund is backed by @MattPRD (founder of @moltbook) along with the founders of @crunchbase and @joinrepublic, and VCs like @DraperVC, @PrecursorVC, and @Liquid2V. You're already using products our agents

@ayushjaiswal @asharoraa @elonmusk @nikitabier My personal account @arian_ghashghai got compromised (and I'm now locked out) through a DM that came from Deedy's compromised account. If you could have a look here also that would be amazing!

@CCgong @XLegalAppeal @nikitabier @elonmusk actually wild. my account @arian_ghashghai got hacked by the same group through a DM from @XLegalAppeal (which I guess was from Deedy's compromised account which is why it got through to my inbox) and now my account is also inaccessible

Building Anatar solo means juggling a raise, signing our first enterprise customers, planning the facility, shipping code, and closing an acquisition—all in one 7‑month sprint. It’s chaos, but it makes every win feel earned.

A focus of the @EarthlingVC thesis is to invest in founders that reject the status quo (or inevitability) of the VC treadmill. Working on some founder merch, and would like to make t-shirts with a catch phrase that embodies that idea, but "Reject the status quo" is too cliche

Spatial intelligence describes exactly what we're investing in and working to enable— Tactically, we've explained this as AR/VR and robotics being the ultimate UI for AI (= embodied AI).

I'm still amazed (but not surprised) that @drfeifei laid out the @EarthlingVC investment thesis better in a tweet thread than I have over the last year+. Makes my life easier I suppose

Gorilla Tag will be the first— But this is an emerging feature of VR studios, low input to super high output, and single-digit teams can *today* (with growth tailwind) generate 10Ms of annual revs. Our top 3 portcos in monthly revs to $ raised ratio are VR studios (by far)

I don’t fully know the best way to explain this yet but all these things are related: - robotics + embodied AI - spatial computing / XR - AI wearables / ubicomp - BCIs + other biological interfaces - DePIN Emerging endpoints for computers to read-write to the material world.
