Mantle

It was a pleasure to present Burgundy to a great crowd of AI builders and enthusiasts tonight at AiSalon Toronto hosted by Marcus Daniels. I also learned a lot from Dwayne Forde’s talk about the scale of their prompt engineering, wrangling, model deprecation, …. If you’re technical in the field of AI engineering, I highly recommend following his team’s work as they will share and open-source some of the prompt library infrastructure. Can’t wait to see it! Thanks Highline Beta for hosting the event.

Our weekend started off with a bang at YSpace, York University as our co-founder (and local Netflix celeb), Amit Jethani, took the hot seat for a Founder AMA 🎉 Can't get enough of Amit? He's leading YSpace's upcoming webinar this Wednesday on: "Cap Table Management: Preparing Your Startup for Investment." Link to RSVP in the comments! ⤵

Many of the best VCs have been former operators. The best operators deeply understand how investors work. This is a super power than enables them to raise more capital than their competitors. If you missed my conversation with Amar Varma on The Startup CEO Show, you can now read it. Amar is co-founder and CEO of Mantle.  I have lost count of how many companies he has started and exited. He is a former VC and prolific angel investor. We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, including: ✅ Attributes of the best VCs ✅ The importance of formally assessing yourself as CEO ✅ Benefits of aging (I liked this one...) ✅ Amar's thoughts on AI And much, much more... I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. Hope you will too. Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow Mark MacLeod for more.

An Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) serves as a powerful tool founders use to incentivize employees, align their interests with long-term success, and attract top talent. But what happens after the handshake and celebratory toast? 🥂 Uncover the power of proactive ESOP management in our latest blog post ▶ https://lnkd.in/d_3tT6vB
