The Dots That Shaped Computing: Insights from Intel, NVIDIA & SEEQC

You can’t connect the dots looking forward, but you can see where they are.
This edition is about mapping the dots that shaped computing and spotting those still forming. Following a follow-up conversation with John Levy (co-founder of SEEQC), we’ve put together a short series deep-diving into the case studies of Intel, NVIDIA, and SEEQC. While Intel and NVIDIA now offer clear playbooks in hindsight, SEEQC is earlier in its journey and shaping a new market. This gives you a diverse perspective, both from hindsight and how a founder can learn from the past to write their own playbook.

Also, a quick shoutout to Nat from General Catalyst, who shared an exciting opportunity for technical builders and founders. Scroll down for more details!
