I've been head's down building and realized that my running 'items for the CEOs' had gotten large enough! Time for another blog post.
********** Tweener Fund Q4 announcement and socials reminder ******************
We slowed down our investment pace a tad in Q4 given the headwinds we're now seeing in the early-stage funding space. We invested in 6 new companies: TrackX, Shipal, Sitebridge Research, Pluto Health, Altis Biosystems and Coprata - welcome everyone! We also did follow-on investments in: Adwerx, Impact Karma, BlueCo and Belongly where we were happy to participate in new rounds, expansions and bridges.
Details here. As a reminder, we always appreciate follows/shares and likes: LinkedIn is here and Twitter/X is here

********** Venture/startup GPT to try out: VentureGPT ******************
Robbie found this cool 'GPT' (their new 'app store like thing') that has been trained on tons of startup/VC data. It's pretty solid - I found the best convos were it helping me get a list of VCs.
Give it a try here - It just worked off the link for me, I have the lowest tier paid personal chatgpt/openai license so that maybe required, IDK. Enjoy. Let us know if you want us to try and build a Triangle-centric one!
