Estas semanas han pasado muchas cosas en el mercado de la defensa, así que teníamos que comentarlas y analizarlas. Tenemos que hablar del A321 AWACS de la India, así como de las propuestas de Lockheed Martin y SAAB de supervitaminar sus cazas F-35 y JAS-39 Grippen, sin olvidar el primer derribo de un Su-30 desde un USV armado con Sidewinders, y más… ¿Nos acompañáis a Carlos y a mi? ¡Ah! La conferencia que menciona Carlos es esta: https://youtu.be/3ddJ6X01sZ0 P.D.: Si la intro y la despedida os son familiares, que no os sorprenda.

It is incredibly rare to have your startup become a verb. Google and Uber immediately come to mind. But what about when a group of strangers or friends with shared interests decide they want to get together? They, Meetup. Scott Heifferman didn't set out with becoming a verb in mind but he certainly started Meetup with the intent of building something big and impactful. And on those dimensions he delivered in spades. Along the way he sold 30% of his company for $1M to Tim Draper's DFJ (funny story around the 36 min mark), raised from other great investors (Brad Burnham from USV makes a cameo in the video), met face to face with Mark Zuckerberg who also decided that getting groups of people to meetup would be important for Facebook too, going so far as to run their very first Super Bowl ad promoting their meetup competitor product. There are so many great stories and anecdotes in this one. In our effort to mine Web 2.0 ideas and playbooks for applicable lessons for this current wave to startups, this conversation delivers in spades. A few take aways:— The Origins of Meetup and Community Building: Heiferman reflects on how 9/11 and experiences like Burning Man inspired Meetup's mission to foster real-world connections. He emphasized the importance of creating tools that empower people to form communities and build belonging offline, using the internet as a catalyst.— Early NYC Tech Scene vs. Silicon Valley: Heiferman shares stories of the scrappy, experimental nature of the 1990s NYC tech ecosystem, contrasting it with Silicon Valley's more established infrastructure. He recalls starting iTraffic with maxed-out credit cards and seeing startups like Razorfish and DoubleClick shape the local scene.— Facebook's Competitive Threat: Heiferman recounts how Facebook's groups feature directly competed with Meetup, even running Super Bowl ads mimicking its concept. This competition influenced his decision to sell Meetup to WeWork, as Facebook's scale and resources were hard to match.— Critique of Modern Marketplaces: Heiferman critiques platforms like Uber and DoorDash for extracting excessive margins from workers and businesses. He advocates for a fairer market economy where technology empowers individuals rather than exploiting them.— Future Vision and Lessons Learned: Looking ahead, Heiferman expresses interest in building impactful projects outside traditional VC structures. He emphasizes the need to focus on creating products that energize people, deliver value, and prioritize meaningful societal impact over maximizing profits.One thing that especially stood out to me in this conversation was a reminder of how “people” were so core to Web 2.0 ideals. Whether it was getting people to connect online or off, fostering real and personal connection was such an important driver for innovation at that time. When today's headlines are so filled with stories that seem to pit people against algorithms, Scott's sentiment is a refreshing reminder that technology at it's best is a tool for enhancing our lives, not eradicating them. On that theme, a comment Scott made has been rattling in my head ever since. At around the 40 min mark he says something along the lines of “AB testing is the price you pay for not having a pulse on people”. In this conversation he talk a lot about energy, following the energy of individuals and his own energy and interests. He seems energized to build again and we talk a bit about what's next for him and how his time working in an Amazon warehouse informed his thinking around what problems he wants to tackle. We can't wait to see where he goes with all that energy. This was a ton of fun to connect with Scott and Brad to revisit the Meetup story. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it.

We are back in Munich at the DLD Conference, Europe's foremost tech gathering. DLD is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and, to mark this occasion, we spoke to some of the leading DLD'ers about the tumultuous last twenty years. First up is the Union Square Ventures partner Albert Wenger, author of The World After Capital, who - in spite of all the problems of the last two decades - remains defiantly optimistic about the future. He emphasizes the need to move beyond "industrial age thinking" focused on physical capital toward solutions suited for the digital age, where attention is the primary constraint. On AI, Wenger believes we've reached a genuine breakthrough moment, suggesting a 10-15% chance of artificial superintelligence emerging within the next year or two. He advocates for open AI models rather than concentration among a few large tech companies, proposing copyright reforms to encourage transparency in AI development. Wenger also discusses his practical efforts to create positive change, including his universal basic income pilot in Hudson, NY, and initiatives promoting "steward ownership" to make capital more enabling and less extractive. He envisions a future where technological advances help solve climate change, disease, and food security challenges while restoring natural environments. Throughout our conversation, Wenger emphasizes the need for radical new experiments and policy approaches rather than incremental change, arguing that current systems and traditional political solutions are inadequate for addressing contemporary challenges.Albert Wenger is a partner at Union Square Ventures (USV). Before joining USV, Albert was the president of del.icio.us through the company's sale to Yahoo and an angel investor (Etsy, Tumblr). Albert is the author of the book The World After Capital. On his blog Continuations he writes about technology, science, philosophy and more. Albert graduated from Harvard College in economics and computer science and holds a Ph.D. in Information Technology from MIT. Albert is married to Gigi Danziger. They have three grown children and live in New York City.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children. This is a public episode.

Once upon a time, when MTV played music videos, their more mature sister channel, VH1, had a show called “Where Are They Now”. The idea behind the show was to track down notable artists of previous generations to see where life had taken them once they'd stepped out of the spotlight. OK boomer, what does this have to do with the indieverse specifically, and the culture of technology more broadly?In most creative fields, whether it's art, fashion, architecture, etc., there's a deeply held sense of respect, even reverence, for the innovators who came before. The breadcrumbs of insights and artifacts or creation serve as a foundation of reference points for those who come after. But tech, as a creative field, feels different. Always forward, never back. There's frequently disregard, even contempt, for the innovators who came before. I often say we have the raw materials for any number of possible futures. Breakthroughs in AI, energy, chip design, crypto, biology — the future has never been brighter. As excited as I am to charge forward, I thought it would be valuable to look back. When I entered the venture market, it was in the wake of the dot com crash. Shortly after, my partner, Tim, popularized the term Web 2.0. Then, as now, there was a deep sense of hope starting to swell in technology. There were lessons to draw from and infrastructure to leverage to build upon, in addition to a renewed sense of optimism for the role technology could play in our lives. As we enter a similar moment in tech, I wanted to return to some of the innovators of Web 2.0 to see if there were any lessons to glean from their experiences, and to celebrate their contributions to the progress we're building on now. The first of these came up in our conversation with Charles from Are.na earlier this year. He and his team and had drawn inspiration from a popular Web 2.0 called Del.icio.us, known primarily as a shared, social website bookmarking service. I have known and respected its founder, Joshua Shacter, for years. We decided to trek to Mountain View for a catchup with Joshua on his past learnings and current projects. Joshua built Del.icio.us as a side project while working at Morgan Stanley, evolving it from his earlier project called Meme Pool. He didn't set out to build a startup - it was simply a tool to manage his own bookmarks that grew organically to millions of users. Within less than a year of raising funding from Fred Wilson at USV, Del.icio.us was acquired by Yahoo, where Joshua experienced the challenges of corporate bureaucracy and struggled with the loss of control over his product.The Web 2.0 era allowed for more experimental approaches, whereas today's entrepreneurs are highly focused on specific business opportunities, particularly in areas like AI tooling for business functions. Joshua believes that the current AI revolution has reset computing to a pre-6502 type era where fundamental architectures are still being determined, making it an exciting and challenging time for founders who need to balance innovation with market demands.When investing, Joshua looks for founders who are perpetually unhappy with their tools and constantly seeking improvement. He prefers to invest in weird ideas that make him think, “I never would have thought of that”, rather than incremental improvements to existing solutions. His approach is fundamentally engineering-driven, and he values founders who can engage in deep technical discussions.This one was a ton of fun. It's a new format for us, so be gentle with the feedback. We've already learned so much and hope to improve on it. We have a few more of these in the can and a few more lined up for the new year. If there's someone you'd love to see us catch up with, shoot us a reply with suggestions. As always, if you or someone you know are working on something that could be a fit for the indieverse, we're always on the hunt for our next investment. Finally, from all of us to all of you, wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons.

Telework programs in the federal government should benefit mission, operations and work-life balance at agencies, according to the Government Accountability Office. Yet some agencies are not fully aligned with key practices to ensure successful telework implementation, the watchdog found in a new report. The Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency all told the GAO that they have not yet fully evaluated the effects of telework on agency performance, it explains in the report. Similarly, the Department of Veterans Affairs cannot do so for the Veterans Benefits Administration because it does not have a system in place that provides telework agreement information in an accessible manner. U.S. Naval Forces Central Command is steaming ahead with experimental efforts to launch unmanned aerial vehicles from uncrewed surface vessels. The latest Digital Talon exercise, conducted earlier this month in the Middle East region, included a variety of robotic capabilities that could play a significant role in future conflicts. In a release, NAVCENT said: “Digital Talon 3.0 … tested the electronic and mechanical effectiveness of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS), the capabilities of over-the-horizon communications between unmanned systems, and testing aerial autonomous launch and recovery of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) off a unmanned surface vessel (USV).” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Union Square Ventures is building an AI operating system to support their investment team. But it's not what you think: It's a constellation of AI tools that captures and synthesizes the firm's collective wisdom. It's evolving every day, and Matt Cynamon is the mad scientist in charge Matt calls himself a “regular” at USV. In practice that means he's responsible for running experiments with AI for the firm. As an inherently curious person with the professional obligation to tinker, he's built a suite of tools for the firm, including: The Librarian, a chatbot trained on around 15,000 articles from USV's blog Portfolio Tracker, a GPT that analyzes the investments made by the firm Meeting Notes, a tool that makes it possible for team members to interact with meetings I sat down with Matt to talk about how AI is enabling him to bring his ideas to life as a generalist, get demos of the tools listed above, and exchange notes on all the other projects he has in the works at USV. We edit actionable insights extracted by an AI from meetings at USV and prepare them to be posted on the firm's X handle live on the show. We even try out an art project at USV's office called The Dream Machine, which generates art from conversations. Here's a link to the episode transcript.

//The Wire//2300Z July 23, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: POLITICAL INSTABILITY CONTINUES IN U.S. DEMONSTRATORS OCCUPY U.S. CAPITOL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Red Sea/HOA: Attacks on commercial shipping continue to escalate. A few days ago, the M/V PUMBA was attacked via a variety of platforms. The vessel first reported being attacked by a drone, before being targeted by an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV). This attack failed as the embarked security team successfully engaged the USV with small arms and crew-served weapons, which prematurely detonated the explosives onboard. The M/V PUMBA continues towards her next port of call with minimal damage.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. – The White House has announced that President Biden will address the nation tomorrow night, following concerns of his status. This afternoon, Articles of Impeachment have been filed against Vice President Harris for “high crimes” related to her handling of the border crisis.Washington D.C. – Anti-Israel protesters occupied the US Capitol rotunda today, demonstrating against arms shipments to Israel as PM Netanyahu conducts a state visit. After some time, most demonstrators were detained and removed from the Capitol.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: There are very good reasons as to why a candidate would drop out of a political race in person, with a televised address, particularly if that person is an incumbent. The alternative course of action is already playing out; by “ghosting” the nation, Biden has given the taxpayers cause for questioning whether or not he's even fit to finish out his current term. As the world awaits his (allegedly) live address tomorrow night, these considerations are likely contributing factors for unrest as political machinations continue to escalate during this election season.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//
//The Wire//2200Z July 16, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: HOUTHI ATTACKS CONTINUE TO ESCALATE IN RED SEA. USSS UNDER SCRUTINY FOR SECURITY CONCERNS EXPRESSED IN THE WAKE OF TRUMP SHOOTING.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Red Sea/HOA: Houthi attacks on commercial shipping continue to escalate. Yesterday afternoon, Houthi forces successfully attacked the M/V CHIOS LION, a Liberian flagged tanker. This attack was carried out via an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) in a similar manner as the M/V TUTOR which was sunk a few weeks ago. AC: The status of the LION remains unclear, however the Houthis released a video of the attack, showing the detonation of the USV against the hull of the LION. From this footage, it is likely that the LION suffered extremely severe damage during this attack.Admin Note: As a reminder CENTCOM and other US government agencies have modified the term “Unmanned Surface Vessels” to be “Uncrewed Surface Vessels”, due to the DoD's policy on gender-neutral language. This policy to modify doctrinal warfare terms has been in place for some time, but frequently causes confusion among those who are unaware of the stripping of the suffixes “-men” or “-manned” from certain terms. Most of the time the acronym remains the same, however keyword searches throughout military doctrine are made more challenging by the altering of such language. This should be considered when conducting independent research.-HomeFront-USA: CNN has claimed that President Trump's security detail has been increased due to an alleged Iranian plot on his life. AC: This is overwhelmingly likely to be a lie intended to detract from the security concerns observed over the past few days.Texas: Recovery efforts continue in the wake of the damage caused by Hurricane Beryl. Crime has increased substantially in some areas as many linemen have reported being attacked while trying to conduct repairs to electrical transmission lines.Pennsylvania: Questions remain unanswered regarding the Trump assassination attempt, with what little information that has been released resulting in even more questions. For instance, the Director of the USSS has provided more information regarding the reasoning behind why no security presence was on the roof occupied by the shooter. USSS Director Cheatle stated that the pitch of the roof presented a fall hazard risk so it was not occupied by security forces before the incident, even though it was identified as a security risk.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Over the next few weeks, the USSS will likely seek to engage in narrative shaping to prevent the truth from coming to light. For one, the claims of the pitch of the roof occupied by the shooter being too steep and presenting a fall hazard are almost certainly false as that roof was less steep than an adjacent rooftop already occupied by a USSS CAT team. While the old adage of “never attributing to malice what can be ascribed to incompetence” is certainly true, we must ensure that the inverse is not attempted by the USSS within the information space. Over the past few years, it has become clear that the knee-jerk reaction by most federal agencies when faced with scrutiny is to lie, even regarding easily verifiable information. This, while not surprising, unfortunately influences the lessons learned by the average person who seeks to reduce the risk of tragedy occurring again.Though purely speculative, it must be considered that lying so openly and deliberately about a roof pitch being too steep would bring about complaints of DEI practices, incompetence, etc….anything but malice. Somewhat ironically, the USSS lying to make themselves seem like incompetent diversity hires, because that narrative is somehow more palatable than the truth, is a concerning detail that is likely to be overlooked as all sides expre
