Since joining Will Ventures, I decided to launch a Substack! I wrote about what the rise of AI-generated video means for the future of the sports industry. In short, AI video models are advancing rapidly, and content creation could fundamentally change. I argue that matters for sports, which is an industry built on selling content.

I'll be coming with more hot takes about sports, media, tech and VC :)
