Modern satellites generate a lot of data every day. But getting that data back to Earth is becoming a bottleneck. Satellites still mostly talk to the ground over radio. But radio has limits: only so much spectrum to go around, too much traffic competing for it, and short windows to send during each pass. The result is a growing backlog of valuable data waiting to come down. QOSMIC (@QOSMIC__Space) is building the answer. The company is replacing traditional radio links with laser-based optical communications, enabling satellites to transmit data back to Earth at significantly higher speeds and capacities. By developing both optical ground stations and optical communication terminals for satellites, they are building a complete end-to-end optical communications stack. In under a year, founders Shreyaans Jain (@Jain_Shrey_), Rohit Ramakrishnan (@RohitKR79), and Aloke Kumar (@aalokelab) proved their optical communications stack over a 10-kilometre link on the ground. They showed the full chain working outside the lab: pointing the beam, locking on, tracking the target, and moving data at high speed. @mbaccel • @_pagarwal • #AccelFamily

We've raised $3.33 Million to build the Optical highway to the Cosmos. Led by @ACCELIndia and @Prosus_Ventures and given foundational and early support by @southpkcommons, @artparkindia and Manish Jain. Space is going from an endeavor to an economy. The world is racing to build the satellites of tomorrow, but still using the infrastructure of yesterday to talk to them. At @QOSMIC__Space our goal is to fundamentally solve this problem from an infrastructural lens, and build the backbone of communication for humanity's final frontier. A decade ago this company gets built in the US or Europe. We built it in Bangalore. All three of us left careers abroad to come back, because India now has the capital, the manufacturing depth, and the institutions to build world-class space infrastructure. We came back because this is now the right place to build it, and we will not be the last founders to make that choice. Building this with @RohitKR79 and @aalokelab . We are just getting started. Onwards and Upwards. @ACCEL @spc_india @prateekmehta42 @ankitcc @adityaag @akhi_agarwal @nayankote @_pagarwal @artparkindia @iiscbangalore @JPBrebner

Extremely glad to announce that Humyn Labs has been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception program. AI is only as good as what it trains on. Most training data today skews toward controlled environments and familiar geographies. Not where AI actually gets deployed. We’re building the human intelligence layer to fix that. Egocentric video across residential, commercial and agricultural environments in 20+ countries. Voice data covering 33 languages, dialects and code-switching patterns. Verified humans. Multi-layer QC. The gap between what models promise and what they deliver has a name: missing human context. Being a member of NVIDIA Inception program gives us the tools to close it faster. Here’s to keeping (intelligence) real. #NVIDIAInception

The models being deployed for 5.5 billion people were never independently tested on how they actually speak. So we built BRIDGE. The first independent Global South ASR 7-metric Benchmark. 15 models. 22 languages. 7 metrics. All on real audio. Watch @ishank20 and @manishdiesel break it all down. They walk you through the metrics no one else is using, cover why rankings flip when you switch languages, which models score near zero on code-switching and why the metric everyone trusts misses more than it catches. With solid numbers. Read the full report here: humynlabs.ai/bridge

great company for @eatwithposha !

Most people think transparency is about trust. In reality, it doesn’t stop tokens from dumping, it explains why it happens. Just broke down @KGeN_IO's tokenomics and post-TGE chart behavior, and what stood out wasn’t the price action. It was how openly they broke down: • supply pressure • reflexivity loops • demand lag Whether you agree or not, that level of breakdown is rare in Web3. Most projects go silent during drawdowns or fall back on “we’re building.” But @KGeN_IO chose to show the mechanics instead. And that raises a bigger question for me Is radical transparency actually a competitive advantage in crypto…or does it just expose everything faster? Because in most cases, hype fades when price cools. But transparency about how a system actually works tends to build something slower, but more durable: CONVICTION.

@puneetiitm Congrats l! Great news for the ecosystem!

The Unicorn Growth Fund is live. INR 6,000cr. Backed by KRAFTON and Naver. Managed by Mirae Asset. We are super excited about this. One of the largest India-focused technology funds ever raised from Asia. Built for Indian founders building for India and the world. Let's go. Thank you, @PiyushGoyal ji, for the candid discussion on how we can make the 2 ecosystems deeply synergistic.

Accounting is facing a growing talent shortage. Fewer people are entering the field, while the work keeps getting more complex. The Big 4 have responded by investing heavily in AI. But smaller firms have been left behind, stuck with fragmented tools that promised transformation and delivered more work to manage. Atlas (@the_atlas_ai) is built for this gap. Their AI platform takes on the repetitive, execution-heavy parts of accounting, so professionals can focus on judgment and decision-making. The result is simple. Firms can serve more clients, expand margins, and grow without adding headcount. Arpit Maheshwari and Jagmal Singh bring three decades of experience across investing, operating, and building in India’s startup ecosystem. We’re partnering with them as they reimagine how accounting firms scale. ⁠@anagh_prasad • @skirani • #AccelFamily

Bad news: Programmer as a job maybe dead Good news: Agentic engineer as a job has just begun Best news: there’ll be 10x more agentic engineers vs programmers! Human civilization roadmap is uncapped- lots to do 🔥

You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️

The most important companies of the next decade won't iterate on the present. They will extend the map of what's possible, delivering a step-function change in the human experience. That's LeapTech. Today, we're proud to announce the six startups that embody it—introducing Atoms X cohort, backed by Accel & @Prosus_Ventures.

Sleep went from something people proudly reduced to now continually optimizing. We breathe 22,000 times a DAY! Can’t wait for @AngadDaryani to help us have a sanctuary like air for every breath!

This one is special, not because of capital, but because of what it represents. It all started with a short message from @nayankote . Very quickly after, I met @_pagarwal, and then we had a chance to host both of them along with @prashanthp at @praan_inc HQ late last year.

This one is special, not because of capital, but because of what it represents. It all started with a short message from @nayankote . Very quickly after, I met @_pagarwal, and then we had a chance to host both of them along with @prashanthp at @praan_inc HQ late last year. From our many interactions, I remember one very distinctly. While walking out of the Praan office after several hours of discussions, Pratik told me, "If you're going to build an amazon air purifier company, this is not inspiring. If you will actually rebuild the earth's atmosphere, we're going to be here with you throughout!" Grateful to welcome @Accel and @Prosus_Ventures to Praan. Also grateful to have the trust of @MoonCapital__, Rahul Rathi, @mohith_dzn, @raymondopolis, @therishidesai @saurya_sinha, @kushxtaneja, Tomu Francis, @LukeCoutinho17, Sarah Sham, Shivam Shahi, Matt Chitharanjan, Rishi Shroff, and Ekta Shah Manjrekar. Amazing to also work with @Ashutosh_Blr, @akhi_agarwal, Dhruv Gupta, and others.

Claude Code: Review Permissions If you use Claude Code, you've probably noticed it asks for permission a LOT — especially for Bash commands. I built a skill that fixes this. /review-permissions scans your entire Claude Code history, finds every command you've been approving over and over, and generates the exact settings.json rules to auto-allow them. It even groups suggestions by confidence level (safe read-only stuff vs. things worth reviewing). What it does: - Analyzes all your past sessions across every project - Shows you how much time you've spent waiting on permission prompts - Identifies which commands aren't covered by your current settings - Proposes rules sorted by frequency, lets you pick which to apply - Edits your settings.json for you To use it: 1. Drop review-permissions.md into ~/.claude/commands/ 2. Open Claude Code in any project 3. Run /review-permissions That's it. Takes ~30 seconds and you'll never approve git status again. If you want the MD.. just reply and I'll DM!
