Whoever knows me knows how fascinated I am by old historical buildings with stories that have been repurposed functionally. That's why going to The Residency for their demo day on Tuesday was such a treat for me.

The concept: greatness inspires greatness.

The Residency, the hacker house backed by Sam Altman, has created a platform where builders live, work together, build, get inspired, learn and share their journey. This echoes deeply with one of my beliefs: "you are the average of the (five) people you spend the most time with."

Here are the startups that stood out from the demo night:

→ Arlo1 by Deo Arlo, Building aerial sensing 3x better than Radars
→ Cognell by Kai Song E., Building memory to enable self-improving AI agents
→ Entropy by Natalie Ma, Sending wasted heat from servers to cities
→ k6 by Advay Iyer, Building a rapid simulation platform for robust autonomous drones
→ PsyTech by Daniel von Eschwege, Building the fastest man-machine link in existence
→ Reeo by Iago Maciel, Building the trust infrastructure to unlock enterprise AI
→ Agentic Ad Club by Thrad by Andrea Tortella 🇲🇨, Paid ads in LLMs.

Kudos to Daniel Salinas, Nick Linck and the team for providing these ambitious founders with all the support. Can't wait to see what's next for the founders and for the house.
