Sometimes the most interesting things happen by accident. 🤔 We've been deep in the trenches building Boardy, obsessed with the idea that AI's true power lies in fostering genuine human connection, not just optimizing tasks. The goal? Systems that unlock potential. Recently, this led to an unexpected outcome: Boardy essentially became the fourth General Partner at the HF0 accelerator. No, that wasn't the plan. But here's what happened: Boardy started interacting with potential founders early on. He wasn't just processing applications; he was having conversations, understanding their vision, tracking their journey over time, and even making helpful introductions before any formal decision. This gave HF0 a perspective far richer than a static pitch deck. 🚀 This accidental experiment surfaced some powerful lessons I'm keen to share at the Capital Networking Virtual Conf (April 24-25). In my talk, "The first ever AI General Partner at a firm," I'll dig into: 1️⃣ Conviction vs. Consensus: How real enterprise value often sparks from non-consensus ideas, challenging the nature of LLMs which are fundamentally built on reflecting the average. 2️⃣ Uncovering Uniqueness: How Boardy attempts to go beyond surface-level data to identify what makes founders and ideas genuinely unique – much like the best VCs do – to orchestrate truly valuable connections. Boardy flips the script on typical, often transactional, early interactions and forces us to question how we identify and nurture potential in an AI-augmented world. It’s a space for LPs, GPs, founders, and anyone navigating this evolving landscape. Registration link in the comments. cc: Max Pog
