(0018) short list + happy holidays
Hey, this is poach.vc, where we help you discover pre-seed / seed deal flow by tracking the people the top VCs are interacting with online.
Happy Holidays!
VC Twitter activity is a bit low during the holiday season (as you can see from the abridged list today), so we’re taking next week off and will be back on Dec 30 with more updates!
Curated People
Ian Nowland
Ex-Amazon and Datadog engineering exec now building JunctionLabs to help developers build platforms with better service connectivity.
Rebecca Wang
John Suh
Ex-Robinhood engineer that previously co-founded an AI tool (which was acquired). Now “applying LLMs in the real world”. Now working in stealth on a new project as part of a PE holding company. It’s unclear if he’s looking for investment, but is clearly interested in building in AI.
Unfiltered
Since we’re a bit light on founder/potential founder profiles, we’re also including a summary of all accounts we tracked this week. Please let us know if it’d be useful for us to include this every week by emailing contact@poach.vc!
