About Embers
My name is Grant — I’m an early stage investor at Cantos backing the founders building the next great iconic American companies.
Before Cantos, I was a founding member of the American Dynamism team at a16z.
Embers is where I think aloud. It’s an open-source journal of everything from my personal life reflections to the early version of a book book I’m writing about how technology works.
I also have a podcast called Motion Blur. You can learn more about it in my announcement post.
If you’re new to my writing, I recommend starting with these posts:
Cantos and Chicken Sexing - Joining Cantos & what venture means to me
The American Dynamism Dream - Joining a16z & why I wanted to be a VC
What I’m Here For - A reflection on what I’ve done so far & what I want to do
There are three reasons why I started Embers:
Act as an external catalog that show how I think
Create a network of ideas that I can link to future essays
Invite others to engage with these ideas with me
For more details read the announcement post.
In aggregate, these strategies help me figure out what the world looks like. They help me figure out Truthisms. They help me understand Humanity. They help me identify the current State of Affairs. And they help me figure out Where We’re Going.
These are ideas I’m pondering. I may be wrong, so I'm listening, learning, and thinking. Feel free to email me — to share non-obvious intel, ideas, and correct or solicit mine.
