1. We're Building: Veynor.xyz - Agents and Analytics for Prediction Markets
The more time we spend in prediction markets, the more obvious it gets: markets are growing fast, liquidity is improving, and there's real edge for anyone who can build smart tooling around them. That's what we're building at veynor.xyz — a prediction market intelligence layer for Kalshi and Polymarket. REST API, Python SDK, MCP server for AI agents, and a CLI that gives you whale flow, alpha signals, and cross-venue market search from your terminal. Early access is free. Take a look, product feedback will be rewarded.
2. On the Road: Vienna & Provence
Vienna. Sat down with leading local family offices, founders, and accelerators. Great conversation on the opportunities and challenges in the Austrian and European venture landscape, the state of enterprise-level AI adoption, and more.
Provence. Small strategy retreat with a few close friends, founders and operators, alumni from Meta, Amazon, Discord, and more. The best connections form on a run through the vineyards, or over a glass of local rosé.
3. How to Fundraise in 2026: metal.so
Fundraising has gotten more structured. What used to be a messy founder spreadsheet of names and "saw them at the conference" notes is now expected to be a proper CRM, with investor pipeline, status, next steps, and conversation history all in one place. The investors notice the difference, and the founders who run their raise like a sales process close faster. metal.so is the cleanest tool we've found. Pipeline view built for founders, fast to set up, good analytics, useful templates. We've been recommending it to our portfolio. They're running a partner offer: book a demo through our link, get a platform walkthrough, and they’ll pay you $50 for your time (30 mins).
