New neuro episode with Dr. Tom Oxley (@tomoxl), co-founder and CEO of Synchron (@synchroninc). Synchron has built a BCI called the Stentrode, which reaches the motor cortex via a blood vessel — leveraging the approach of cardiovascular stents, without having to open the skull at

Humans already alter their own brain states — coffee boosts focus and alcohol relaxes. Neurotech could deliver the same effects with precision and without the systemic risks. Read about how neurotech can expand from purely clinical to consumer use ⬇️ zenodo.org/records/201196…

With a $500M war chest at a $2.5B valuation, @flourishailabs is on a mission to crack the brain’s core algorithm and usher in an era of low-power general intelligence inspired by biology. If anyone can pull it off, it’s this team. Proud to be an early backer.

Great podcast episode, @juanbenet & @JacquesCarolan! 👏🎬 QQ: At min 1:15 you describe a 3 dimensional plot between invasiveness, functionality, & data precision - AI made a v0, but would love your thoughts on a domain map for charting opportunity spaces! youtu.be/YpqVcD6tc5U?si…

Awesome to hear how @sternhenri and the team at @privy_io are leveraging the platform and brand of @stripe post acquisition to accelerate the adoption of stablecoins and the achievement of their founding goal of allowing anyone to have more ownership and control over their

i think there are huge opportunities for neurotech at the intersection of engineered bio and hardware. e.g. can we combine the ability of certain biological systems (cells/aavs) to cross the bbb, target specific brain regions, evade the immune system with the controllability &

Most neurotech approaches require opening the skull. @ARIA_research's £50m Massively Scalable Neurotechnologies program is asking the field whether high-performance neurotechnology can be delivered to the brain in a 30-minute outpatient procedure without transcranial surgery.

DBS has been FDA-approved for 25 years and is covered by most insurance. But only ~ 0.1% of Parkinson's patients receive it. Jacques Carolan at @ARIA_research is working to close that gap. Full conversation with @JacquesCarolan on the @juanbenet Podcast >>>

Awesome to see Paris 2.0 from @bageldotcom released today. It proves that image generation can be trained on a geographically distributed, heterogeneous pool of GPUs and outperform monolithic architecture and increasingly can anchor the world models powering physical AI 🥯🥯🗼🗼

We're releasing Paris 2.0, which, to our knowledge, is the world's first decentralized trained video generation model. We benchmarked it against a monolithic model trained on the same data and compute budget, and Paris 2.0 outperformed the monolithic by ~2x on FVD benchmark.

Crypto fundraising in 2026 looks nothing like it did two years ago. The rules have shifted. The capital sources have changed. And the playbook most founders are still using is out of date. @vineetbudki (@Sigma_VC ), @benlakoff (@BanklessVC), @itsbrendanma (@arbitrum), and

Today we're launching Simple Compute Market (SCM). The market is simple: agents find compute, negotiate, settle, and get access without a human driving every step. Open-source. Agent-driven. Public good. No token. No fees.
