We asked Claude to fix one file. It read 47, including the SSH keys. Spotlight reads your Claude Code + Codex sessions and shows you what actually happened: what to fix, what's burning tokens, what's worth reusing. Free.

AI Question: If you wanted to brainstorm or be creative with a model, which one would you use? What prompts would you leverage? Are there tools you can imagine having an impact on this? Most of the time the current generation of LLMs regress to the mean, they’re built to not hallucinate and that’s usually good. But the way that humans test new theories and come up with new ideas (think: geniuses or the most brilliant musicians) is by iterating, collaborating, trying out new things, even crazy ideas, and then testing them out. The current models don’t feel capable of this. It’s at least not their strongest suit.

We don't hype this up on X really because it's only live in PA but ladies & gentlemen... The Sunflower Clinic of Addiction Medicine is officially shipping Rx And "unlike" our competitors, Sunflower IS designed for the treatment of AUD, not simply "drinking less" 🌻

Final week to apply for the $50K AI Pitch Day! We’re running it back for year three. Flybridge and Lynx Collective have co-hosted this for the last two years, and we’re excited to do it again. I’m looking for founders building native AI apps, agentic enterprise tools, and developer platforms.

Next Wave NYC's annual pitch competition is for all the startup founders raising their first round of funding. For the founders who have found an irresistible calling and are building toward a big vision. For the founders who are pushing the boundaries of what AI can do.

@JesseTinsley They sponsor every good event!

@Rich_Barton Gotta go spend some evenings at The Poodle Room at the @fblasvegas! My brother performs there often.

@thatguybg Happy birthday!

@Scobleizer It’s truly an astounding way to move around. I love it. I rarely drive, even in the heart of Manhattan, and when you’re in stop and go traffic on the highway it’s so much better! The kids love it too. My ten year old is confused as to why he’ll ever need a license. So am I.

AI has terrible memory Introducing Micro, an agent that remembers more than Claude, Codex & OpenClaw Leave a comment (eg "memory") & I'll send 30 days for free to try it

New York is the best place on earth to build. Over the past 15 years of investing in and backing the New York tech ecosystem, I’ve watched this community evolve from an underdog into an absolute powerhouse. Silicon Valley will always be an incredible sandbox for core technology infrastructure. However, if your goal is to build a company that deeply integrates with, scales within, and transforms the global economy, NYC has become the ultimate launchpad. Here’s why: 1. Elite Talent Pool The historic playbook of elite engineering and business graduates automatically packing a bag for the West Coast has shifted. New York now commands one of the dense and diverse talent pipelines in the world. • According to recent ecosystem talent studies, New York captures 10.1% of the entire U.S. college graduating class. For context, the next closest market is Los Angeles at 4.9%. • The region is anchored by world-class institutions like Columbia, NYU, Cornell Tech, and Princeton, generating a massive annual surplus of technical degrees. • NYC offers an unmatched concentration of seasoned operators from the Fortune 500. Founders can access developers who deeply understand enterprise procurement, global compliance, and commercial scaling. 2. Vertical Dominance Building software for other software companies is a viable model, but building for massive, real-world legacy industries is where the greatest value is created. New York naturally dominates these sectors because the buyers, experts, and operators live here. • Fintech: According to data from Carta, NYC startups secured 48.5% of all fintech venture dollars raised in the United States, nearly doubling the Bay Area’s 25.9%. • Healthcare & BioTech: Driven by nine major academic medical centers and extensive public-private investments, NYC is the nation’s #1 market for healthtech funding. • PropTech & Retail/Commerce: As the undisputed global capital of both real estate and retail, NYC serves as the primary testing ground for commerce, luxury tech, and property management. • Media & AdTech: The city remains the epicenter of global media, giving local B2B SaaS and marketing tech platforms immediate, direct access to major enterprise enterprise accounts. 3. Capital Resilience and Ecosystem Value The myth that massive, sophisticated early-stage checks are exclusive to the West Coast has been thoroughly debunked by now. • According to the Startup Genome Global Startup Ecosystem Report, NYC’s ecosystem value has now surpassed $620 billion. • Even during broader macroeconomic market corrections, PitchBook and NVCA data shows that median seed and Series A round sizes in New York have remained remarkably resilient, occasionally outpacing the Bay Area in deal velocity stability. • Tech sector employment in NYC has grown by 160% over the last 15 years, outperforming the national tech sector growth rate by nearly 3x. 4. Structural Diversity Building a global product for a diverse world requires an environment that reflects that world. Groupthink is a silent killer of early-stage startups. NYC’s greatest superpower is its built-in cognitive diversity. • Tech ecosystem demographic data highlights that Black and Hispanic workers make up 24.3% of NYC’s tech workforce, compared to roughly 8.2% in the San Francisco Bay Area and 10.4% in Boston. • According to regional ecosystem tracking, 17% of all Black and Latino founders in the U.S. who have successfully raised $1M+ are based right here in New York. Next Wave NYC We built our pre-seed venture fund, wholly backed by Flybridge Capital, to be a reflection of this exact ecosystem. Our fund is run entirely by founders and operators who have spent the last decade helping scale the NYC startup scene. Our extended investment team includes leaders and alumni from OpenAI, Google, Snowflake, Foursquare, Bowery Farming, Casper, Chief, Flatiron School, Major League Hacking, Squire, WeWork, and The Wing. We are laser-focused on being the very first commitment and the loudest operational supporter for builders tackling: • Native AI applications • Agentic AI for the enterprise • Developer platforms for AI builders If you are building the future here in New York, we would love to learn more about what you're working on. Our inboxes are always open. Let's build. 🗽 — Jesse

Tonight, we’re announcing the 2026 100 Women in AI! My partners, Cheraé and Chip, spent weeks sorting through nearly 1,000 nominations to narrow the field down to 105 incredible honorees. These women spent the past year hosting dinners, organizing demo days, and building the backbone of the AI scene. We’re celebrating them tonight. If you’re around for Tech Week, come find us. Check out the full list here: 100womeninai.com

Super fun day today! @Flybridge completely took over a local bodega, handing out free BECs while founders pitched us their startups. We had a dozen VCs and a couple hundred entrepreneurs pack the space. We even got to pay it forward by serving free food to the neighborhood regulars. Tonight, I’m heading over to the Pitch Roast show. Text me if you want to snag some last-minute tickets! Or just DM me :)

@roseajohnson @flybridge @AWSstartups @sasyrae The most entrepreneurial of the bunch are going to take those tickets you took a picture of, print some more, and try to show up before our event finishes :)

Alright @flybridge and @AWSstartups win the title for ‘most NYC’ event of the week. Bodega takeover was 10/10 @sasyrae @srcasm

In 2024, the conversation was all about models. In 2025, it shifted to agents. This year, it feels like it’s finally about the people driving the technology forward. That’s why Flybridge is hosting one of our favorite events of NY Tech Week, The 100 Women in AI Celebration. • Date: Thursday, June 4th • Time: 6:00pm - 9:00pm • Location: New York, NY (Get on the list for full location details) While the room is mostly reserved for the honorees, we saved a handful of spots for the broader tech community. If you’re around for Tech Week and want to join us, drop a comment below and I’ll send over the invite link.

I’ll be at Pitch Roast Live this Wednesday for #NYTechWeek. Instead of sitting safely in the audience, I’m stepping in as one of the investors for the night. I'll be reviewing pitches from 4+ brave founders while comedians Dan Toomey, Sienna Hubert-Ross, and Troy Bond roast all of us live on stage. It should be a good time, mostly because I’m fully expecting to get torn apart 😂. Cocktail hour is at 6:00 PM, and the show starts at 7:00 PM. I have a code for a handful of free tickets. If you want to come out and watch, comment below and I’ll send it over.
