The thesis for my latest investment is simple: Ev Williams is one of the founders. End of thesis.

Ev co-founded Twitter with Jack Dorsey back in 2006. Now, he’s working on a new startup called Mozi.

Mozi helps you connect with your actual friends in the real world. It makes social media actually social again, as opposed to a mad dash for followers.

When I go on X, I don’t see any of my close friends. None of them use it!

Increasingly, I don’t even see people I follow. X, like all social apps, is going the way of TikTok – showing you the most engaging content, regardless of where it came from.

Mozi is different. You only see your actual friends.

Let’s say my old friend Tim is up from Virginia for the day. He could easily forget to tell me. Mozi could alert us right away so we don’t miss that special moment to be together.

This is exactly the kind of social app I’ve been looking for. In fact, right before I got the deal memo for Mozi in my inbox, I was thinking to myself, “No one is authentic on social media anymore. It’s all about clout and followers.”

It’s funny isn’t it, life’s coincidences?

Mozi is the direction I want to see technology go in: real life connection, not clout chasing or AI girlfriends. We should be bringing people together, not further isolating them.

Together with his co-founder Molly, Ev is going to change the way we relate to technology. We’ll be happier for it.

Check out Mozi and reconnect with the folks who matter most!

Sorry for the lack of posts last week, guys! I got sick, but I’m 100% now and delighted to be back!
