"Hamish McKenzie, a former Lead Writer at Tesla, co-founded Substack, a platform that allows independent writers to publish subscription-based newsletters. With $82.4 million raised from Y Combinator, Substack has become a significant player in digital publishing, enabling writers to monetize their content directly."

"Maddie Hall, who worked on special projects at OpenAI, founded Living Carbon. This public benefit company aims to combat climate change by genetically enhancing trees to capture and store more CO2. Living Carbon has raised $36 million from Felicis."
