Ravikant said most of the funding for Airchat has come from his own fund, as well as from Jeff Fagnan, a founding partner at Accomplice Ventures. â[OpenAI CEO] Sam Altman threw in a check, kind of blindly,â Ravikant said. He communicated all of this to me in a public response on Airchat, after politely declining to respond to my DMs and insisting our conversation should happen in public. âIt canât be a side-channel, DM-based interview. Thatâs the old world that we are leaving behind,â he told me. (In the old world, as in the new world, conducting an interview synchronously is almost always ⦠preferable.)
So far the Airchat feed appears to be filled with tech enthusiasts, early adopters, venture capitalists, and journalists. Thereâs lots of Bitcoin posting. Winefluencer Gary Vaynerchuk is on the app. So is Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan. This weekend…
