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
60 builders. 0 fees. 0 equity. 2 buildings. 1 bet. Founders. Investors. Researchers. Operators. @thejfloor is launching. Zurich builds. April 16th, Zurich. Limited spots. Link in the comments.
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.
🚀
Amped to share our first @BoostVC X @EarthlingVC $100k start-up pitch competition investing at @ETH_en We're doubling down on ETH to help extraordinary technical founders kick-start with a first check investment to get started
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
In what is the least spectacular fundraising announcement you'll read this month — I'm amped to finally share the close of @EarthlingVC Fund I, a $4.5M vehicle investing first round/first check in next-generation computing surfaces and mediums.
I think @SquidoStudio is one the best innovators in consumer VR and amped to support w/@EarthlingVC
Hartmann Capital is thrilled to announce our investment in @SquidoStudio's $3.7M CAD seed round. Squido is an award-winning Canadian VR game studio combing Social VR with UGC 🧵

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).
Spatial Intelligence is a critical piece of the AI puzzle. This is my 2024 TED talk about the journey from evolution to AI, on how we build Spatial Intelligence. "Sight turned into insight; Seeing became understanding; Understanding led to action. All these gave rise to
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
The robots are coming— If you’re a talented dev in AI infra, an amazing opportunity to join this @EarthlingVC enabling software engineers to build the next generation of robotics companies 👇
Happy to share that @FidLabs has raised $1.6mm in pre-seed funding. Come help us redefine how software is written for robots! linkedin.com/jobs/view/3916…
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)
The entire reason @EarthlingVC exists
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.
