Brief

Embed v7, organized by @mvernal, is inviting founders to join a small, frontier-AI cohort that has previously included @cognition, @ListenLabs, Quadrillion, @Intelligenceai, and @ReflectionAI. The cohort mixes consumer, enterprise, hardware and foundation-lab founders (early v7 leans robotics/hardware). mvernal raises a speculative idea: easy software creation could spawn TikTok-style platforms and a new software-creator class.

Why it matters

Embed v7 is recruiting a small cohort of exceptional AI founders; organizer @mvernal cites past participants including @cognition, @ListenLabs, Quadrillion, @Intelligence_ai, and @ReflectionAI_.

Key details

  • The program welcomes consumer, enterprise, hardware, and foundation-labs founders; the early v7 class currently skews toward robotics/hardware founders.
  • mvernal hypothesizes that if creating software becomes as easy as recording video we could see TikTok-like platforms, a new "software creator" class, and software becoming more content-like.

Come join Embed v7!

Embed is a small group of exceptional founders working at the frontier of AI. Past participants have included @cognition , @ListenLabs, Quadrillion, @Intelligenceai, @ReflectionAI and more.

Participants include a mix of consumer, enterprise, hardware and foundation-labs founders. The early v7 class has a lot of robotics / hardware folks, but we’re interested in anyone pushing the frontier forward.

I'm a big believer that founders have better ideas than I do, but one idea I’ve been noodling on recently is what happens when creating software becomes as easy as recording video. Do we end up w/ TikTok-like platforms and a new software creator class? Does software become more content-like?
