Couldn't be more excited to announce the launch of @Seneca_Systems this week with @Stu_Land Our first product is an autonomous, AI-powered, rapid response firefighting drone. We're super fortunate to have raised $60m from amazing folks like @tonsing of @caffeinatedcap, @joshk of @firstround, @mattocko of @DCVC, @wquist and @lessin of @slow, and many others.

Today, I'm excited to share the launch of @Seneca_Systems. Seneca's mission is end the wildfire threat across 500 million acres in the US and allied nations by 2035. 115 million Americans live with fire risk. Fire costs our nation ~$1 trillion annually. It destroys our most precious wild spaces and natural capital. And for those of us who call the American West our home, this is personal. We must face this head on. It is time that we bring firefighters the next-generation tools that heroes deserve. Seneca is building the modern fire arsenal for the highest risk period in our history. Our first product is an autonomous, AI-powered, rapid response fire suppression drone system. We are proud to be backed with $60 million led by @caffeinatedcap and @convectivecap with participation from @firstround , @TransitionVC, @DCVC, @offlineventures, and others. There is no question that fire risk is growing. But we must innovate to be resilient. This is not a battle we can lose. Many thanks to the amazing Seneca team. Proud to be in the fight with you all. @nhfoley @billclerico @adrianaoun @johnclarkemills, @DrLoriMM, Chief Rick Balentine. And capital partners @NextViewVC @bullpencap @advanceventurepartne Advance Venture Partners, @stepstonegroup, Roar Ventures, Good Friends, @slow, @mhs Slow Ventures, MHS Capital,

“You're seeing almost every founder sit there and and shiver in their boots that the next ChatGPT model is just gonna do what their entire company and app has done.” @adrianaoun sums up the Valley at the moment with this one sentence.
.@adrianaoun argues that AI could be the ultimate threat to @Apple's iPhone app ecosystem. “The biggest risk to Apple... is the apps on the phone. [It] used to be hard [to replicate]. AI [can] write any app in a few minutes..." “We're getting towards a world where you could launch a phone tomorrow that can kind of do anything any of the apps can do even though those million app providers never built the apps for your phone.” Watch the full episode on bit.ly/3UvMkOQ. Hosted by @akashpasricha every weekday at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET.

In this week’s episode, @brit, @DaveMorin and @Jessicalessin sit down with @adrianaoun— serial entrepreneur and our sixth-ever listener. After raising $400M and transforming primary care with AI through @goforward, Adrian recently made the tough decision to wind things down. We dive into his exit journey, the hardware + software play behind Forward, and why clinics lack venture scale potential.
