The irony is that this is now a "post-exit founder with 3.5 years experience in this space" and major funds and CEX venture funds will chuck money at his next endeavor Clown industry. What a joke.

After 3.5 years building Story from scratch, I’m stepping out of my full-time role. I’ll stay closely involved as a strategic advisor. While incubating Poseidon, I rekindled my original passion from my DeepMind days: applying AI to frontier industries like science and space. It's time for me to fully pursue this path. I believe we’re approaching a crucial inflection point in humanity’s arc as an industrial society. Language generation is just the initial wave of a cascade of abundant intelligence across fields like robotics, biopharma, and space that, if successful, will constitute a new Industrial Revolution. Looking back, building Story has been the most meaningful experience of my life. What began as a whiteboard sketch when I was 22 turned into more than I could have imagined: a network supporting IPs from Balmain to BTS, with millions of transactions and $130M+ in backing from partners like a16z. Now, Story enters Chapter 2 with SY at the helm, Andrea as our new CPO, and Sandeep as Chief AI Officer. And as I embark on my next venture, I won't be going far, as Story plans to partner and invest. To our investors, partners, and nearly 100 incredible teammates: thank you for an incredible ride!
