“I never expect founders to have all the answers. I do expect high conviction and a really low ego.” – True's @jcal7.bsky.social on Fund/Build/Scale. After 20 years, the pattern is clear: we back missionaries, not mercenaries. Founders building for the long game—people others want to follow.
Imagine an AI employee who tells you exactly what to expect and account for at each stage of your company's lifecycle. Ben Broca joined the team at TBPN earlier this week for a lightning round, explaining how Polsia enables entrepreneurs in every sector to build their businesses more effectively.

@clarencebethea.bsky.social and @gusco.bsky.social — our partner focused on public policy for emerging technologies — talk pace of AI policy and how to unpack its uncertainty as founders build AI-native companies. More on shaping new AI policy in the U.S. from Gus: trueventures.com/blog/a-way-f...

The PM says the facts about Peter Mandelson’s appointment are “incredible”. He’s right. But what’s truly shocking is just how badly he's let the country down. He promised change after years of Conservative scandals and scapegoating. Instead, he’s delivered more of the same.
Trump said he was going to secure our border and get rid of violent criminals. Instead, ICE is tearing families apart, violating civil rights, and making communities less safe. ICE doesn’t need more money, and it certainly won’t be getting my vote today.
