Anti Fund was founded upon two foundational axioms:
1. the future is forged at the intersection of tech 🤝 culture.
2. the best founders are “anti” because, by definition, their companies are highly disruptive to the status quo
Startups live and die on two levers: capital and l is commodity, commanding attention is not.
Whether a company sells consumer products or is a foundational research lab, they all must compete on the ability to win mindshare and ultimately customers and revenues.
Venture capital is a power law business driven by iconoclasts who win.
Anti Fund’s mission is to find and fund these people.

As AI becomes more capable at finding vulnerabilities, defenders need to put it to work before attackers do.
We’re planning our next internal security sprint at OpenAI and partnering with Cathedral Systems, whose researchers will use our models alongside our teams to challenge our defenses. They’ll bring differentiated expertise and approaches to our ongoing work to find and fix weaknesses with AI.
We’re also raising bug bounty rewards, including more than quadrupling rewards for critical findings. Exceptional findings will be eligible for up to $172,000, including bonuses.
We’ll keep advancing our models, using them to strengthen our own systems, and expanding access for trusted defenders.

very excited to back the physical supply chain needed to enable the future. Alex, Diego, and team are the right people to help lead this charge!
Excited to announce that American Advanced Materials @aamhq has raised a $12.5M seed round to manufacture the building blocks for AI, energy, and defense. The round was led by @amityventures, with participation by @antifund, @humancapital, and others. @Bloomberg coverage in the , aircraft, semiconductors. My co-founder Diego Represas and I founded AAM because our most important strategic interests are growing exponentially but rely on advanced materials we no longer make. For many of them, it's been years or decades since we last made them and we now find ourselves depending on fragile and capacity-constrained supply chains. It's a widening demand vs. supply imbalance that needs a technology-first solution.
Project one is bringing back titanium sponge production, at scale. US demand is set to double over the next two years and there simply is no way that supply can meet demand. AAM is using a vertically-integrated approach to enable globally-competitive pricing and quality. That way, US and allied aerospace & defense can have a scalable, secure, and economic alternative for meeting their own growth goals.
The bottleneck for many advanced materials is not upstream mining. It's the midstream chemical and metallurgical processing that turns US- and allied-sourced minerals into high performance inputs for industry. That muscle has left the country after decades of atrophy. At AAM, the factory is the product by combining decades of process knowledge with modern engineering, AI, and robotics automation.
We're most proud of the team we have assembled to date: ranging from America's top industry experts who built the world's largest & most advanced titanium and zirconium plants to former Tesla leaders with a track record of building unprecedented chemical infrastructure projects. We're looking for exceptional engineers, capital projects leaders, and operators. If that sounds like you, reach out to me directly at alex@americanadvanced.com

EXCLUSIVE: In less than 12 hours, a group of ex-DOGE cyber researchers were able to penetrate Anthropic’s systems using AI agents — including Slack channels where the most sensitive models are discussed.
This is just weeks after
Anthropic whistleblower Joseph Coxon charged the company w/launching “a hubristic gamble” from a “private company’s Slack.”

Peter Thiel said it best: "No product sells itself” though Monaco comes close. Signing up now.
Today Monaco is launching Agent Matrix.
Monaco unleashes countless agents working together, goal seeking, with one outcome in mind: accelerate revenue growth.
If you don’t have an army of agents working 24/7 to accelerate revenue growth, you’re living in the past.
Apply for early access now.

I'm excited to announce Anti Fund was an early investor in Whop. The boys are crushing it.
Whop is revitalizing the American Dream.
Whop is revitalizing the American Dream.
Whop has raised $200M in Series D funding at a $5.1B valuation, backed by @sequoia and @Shopify.
It really feels like we are barely touching the tip of the iceberg in a market larger than anyone can imagine.
We first launched Whop as a better way for us to sell sneaker bots, ypes of desktop software out there.
Total TAM? Probably $20,000 per day.
Who cares, tiny market.
But, what people discounted is the idea that there were actually 70,000 other markets exactly like that one.
Beyond the investment itself, I am especially excited to welcome legendary silicon valley investor @dougleone to our board of directors. Doug and the sequoia team are nothing but a brilliant, resourceful, and principled group of people.
My co-founder Cameron and I started building on Shopify when we were 13 years old. Shopify is one of the most impactful all-in-one cloud ecosystems ever created; @tobi has pioneered modern entrepreneurship the way we know it and we are thrilled to have him in our corner.
We have a tenet at Whop to be the dumbest in the room and I am very grateful that this has recently become a lot easier.
We are focused on markets, scale economies, and progressive media. If that is up your alley, please message me directly.
The $200M raised will support our expansion as we build economic infrastructure for the next century, continuing on our mission of delivering everyone an income.

amazing to see first new shipyard being built in the US in 80 years, congrats @Saronic @MavrookasD and team!
Today, alongside Vice President @JDVance and Governor @GregAbbott_TX we broke ground on Port Alpha in Brownsville, Texas.
Port Alpha is a new model for American shipbuilding: a shipyard designed from the ground up to build autonomous and manned ships at speed and scale. Backed in private investment, it is expected to create up to 10,000 direct jobs in Texas.
We’re proud to begin this work with the Brownsville community and our partners across Texas.

America is not a spectator sport
Apparently Logan and I going to Washington meeting with the Vice President, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, and other leaders of this country really pisses some people off
Good.
Because I’d rather be in the room asking allenging ideas, building relationships, and figuring out how I can help than sitting behind a screen telling everyone else what they should be doing
Twitter fingers have never built a country
Think about how insane the American Dream really is
Two brothers with a camera and a crazy amount of ambition can build businesses, compete on the biggest stages in the world, employ hundreds of people, invest in the future of this country and one day walk into Washington and sit across from the people helping lead it
That should inspire people not offend them
Washington doesn’t belong to commentators.
It doesn’t belong to celebrities.
It doesn’t belong to politicians.
It belongs to the American people
And whether people like me or hate me I’m going to keep showing up
Keep learning.
Keep building.
Keep investing in American companies.
Keep creating jobs.
Keep supporting American innovation.
Keep meeting the people doing the hard work.
Keep sticking my neck out.
And keep trying to leave this country stronger than I found it.
The next generation needs to believe that America is still a place where you can dream impossibly big, work your ass off, get knocked down, reinvent yourself, and eventually find yourself in rooms you never thought you’d enter
This country gave me opportunities beyond anything I could have imagined
I intend to give something back
You can spend your life commentating from the cheap seats or you can get on the field
I know where I’ll be
God bless the United States of America🇺🇸
