Just wrapped up an incredible panel at HumanX in Las Vegas, where we tackled one of the most exciting (and complex) questions in venture today: What does it take to back an AI startup at its earliest stage? The answer? A mix of conviction, technical depth, and a keen eye for infrastructure expertise. One company I’m particularly excited about is Codeium, the team behind Windsurf (https://windsurf.ai/) — an AI-enabled developer tooling platform that’s redefining the way engineers work. Unlike traditional AI-assisted coding tools, Windsurf operates as an agentic IDE, meaning developers don’t just get autocomplete—they get AI agents that can execute increasingly large tasks across their codebase, making development dramatically more efficient. A huge thank you to the HumanX team for hosting such a thoughtful conversation, and to my fellow panelists Cassie Young (Primary) and Aaref Hilaly (Bain Capital) for sharing their insights. And of course, appreciation to Gené Teare (Crunchbase) for expertly moderating the discussion.

Robots don't need legs to transform industries. Dexterity's Mech, highlighted in a recent article by The Information, showcases exactly this. With two powerful, eight-jointed arms each capable of lifting up to 65 pounds, Mech is performing tasks today that are physically strenuous—or impossible—for human workers. Using Mech, industry leaders are handling fast-moving, high-reaching, heavy-lifting tasks like truck loading, palletizing, and baggage handling across their facilities with one robot form factor. In each task, Mech doesn't just enhance productivity and efficiency—it actively makes work environments safer and more sustainable. This practical, immediate value will unlock a new generation of robots for large enterprises. Full Information article in the comments below 👇 #Robotics #Automation #WorkplaceSafety #Innovation
