Age of AI


The last 2 million years of human history can be traced through distinct technological ages.

From the Stone Age to the Information Age, a feedback loop of innovation has continually given humanity greater control over the world—and over itself.

The pace of technological advancement has always been super-linear, but our biology and inherent fragility have limited how fast we could climb.

Beyond Human Limitations

Technological progress has long been like a ladder, requiring the best and brightest to hold it steady so everyone else can ascend at their own pace.

The Age of AI changes that. While the best and brightest still act as catalysts, innovation is now poised to accelerate far faster and reach higher than any individual human could climb.

We invest in companies that will define this new era of Artificial Intelligence. For more insights on emerging AI trends and entrepreneurial strategies, check out John Arrow’s work.

Portfolio

These companies showcase AI’s diverse applications across safety, accessibility, entertainment, and wellness—each pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in this technological age:

  • Anthropic PBC – An AI safety and research company building reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Their Claude launch has received global recognition as one of the most steerable LLMs.
  • FreedomGPT – The “app store” for AI, making it easy for anyone to access powerful multi-modal AI technologies on desktop or in the cloud. The browser version currently hosts 40 live AI models, with plans to expand to over 4,000 next year.
  • Gel Blaster – A mixed-reality gaming platform blending IRL physical activity, augmented reality, and AI. Gel Blaster has sold $70 million worth of products and has the potential to be the first console platform where being sedentary isn’t an option.
  • Throne Science – Turn your toilet into a wellness hub for tracking hydration and gut health. Machine learning empowers better health monitoring between doctor visits.

Conclusion

I discuss my journey building AI companies in more depth on my Beyond A Million Podcast interview.

The Age of AI is different.

While the best and brightest still act as catalysts, innovation will now accelerate faster and climb higher than any individual human could.

Taking a VTOL for a Spin

Image
  I just had the chance to test‑fly a VTOL, and it’s by far the easiest aircraft I’ve ever piloted. Even in strong winds, when I lifted my hands off the controls, it simply auto‑hovered. 121 years after the Wright Brothers’ first flight, the Arrow Brothers are now test‑flying VTOL aircraft. About LIFT Aircraft Austin-based LIFT Aircraft builds the HEXA and operates flight‑experience centers where anyone can book a 30-minute session to feel the thrill of vertical flight.
