A year ago I left VC to go to art school. Today I’m excited to announce FLORA ( @florafaunaai ), an AI creative systems startup. We’re backed by @LongJourneyVC & @MenloVentures . I'm live-streaming my life in real-time AI for 2 weeks on our landing page to demo what FLORA can do.

VC was my dream job & I loved working with all the brilliant, wholesome & hardworking folks at Menlo so it was a difficult decision to leave - but after sitting across the table from so many great founders & operators, I’ve decided to join them & scratch my itch to build. (2/3)
