The biggest learning I’ve had so far as an entrepreneur is that it’s crucial to align your incentives with your values. That’s what we’re trying to do everyday @huggingface by making sure we build systems and features to benefit (instead of being hurt) by more openness and collaboration in AI. It might not be the fastest or easiest way to be successful or rich in the short term but definitely the most rewarding in the long-run!

Had a fantastic conversation with @jaltma - he has this rare ability to draw out what truly drives his guests. We went deep on my obsession: how evolutionary biology and generalized Darwinism can unlock new ways of understanding technology entrepreneurship

Developers thought we were crazy. PostgreSQL didn’t scale. PostgreSQL wasn't fast. Time-series needed a NoSQL database. Or so they said. Eight years later, so much has changed: PostgreSQL has won. There are no more "SQL vs. NoSQL" debates. MongoDB, Cassandra, InfluxDB, and other NoSQL databases are seen as technical dead ends. Snowflake and Databricks are acquiring PostgreSQL companies. Eight years later, that small startup has also grown into something much bigger: ✅ 2,000+ customers, from AI disruptors like Mistral and Hugging Face to industrial giants like Schneider Electric and Caterpillar ✅ Mid eight-digit ARR, growing >100% year over year ✅ $180 million raised from top investors betting on our vision Along the way, we outgrew the “time-series database” label. We added performance improvements for real-time analytics, scalable vector search for agentic workloads, a hybrid row-columnar data store for native compression and faster queries, and much more. All while staying 100% PostgreSQL. Not a fork. We looked in the mirror and realized that, while serving our customers and solving their problems, we had become the modern Postgres for the analytical and agentic era. So today we’re changing our name from Timescale to TigerData. This new name doesn’t change who we are; it reflects who we’ve become and how our customers already use us: the fastest Postgres. Same team, same commitment, same logo – now with a larger canvas. And of course, we are just getting started. It’s go time.

The insights on making AI operational for real work show the power of having founder product leaders @btaylor and @claybavor at the epicenter, this post comes from their unique perspective as builders

Successful agents are the result of collaboration between teams: engineering, operations, customer experience, and marketing. Yet every platform available today except Sierra forces businesses to optimize for one group over another. Our Agent OS enables both no code and programmatic agent development, so teams can mix and match—choosing the right approach for them and scaling as those needs evolve. Read more:

The man is too humble to say it but everything @victoralazarte touches turns to gold. As a Founder, he scaled Wildlife Studios to 4B+ downloads. Bootstrapped. As an angel, he was the first ever investor in Brex (latest valuation $12.3BN) As a VC with @benchmark he led rounds in HeyGen ($60M ARR) and Mercor ($100M ARR in 11 months). This is a masterclass from the man with the Midas touch. My 7 key takeaways 👇
