🤯 Last week I wrote about buying raicursive.com (I did acquire the URL) in the wake of recursive's and ricursive's big raises at stratospheric valuations. 1,800 impressions, one reaction. No one laughed. What is wrong with people? 🤪 You may object, What is wrong with Bonabeau? Fair enough. In the meantime I am pissed and the $12 I spent look wasted.
The Billion-Dollar Move 👇 Here is the pattern: 1️⃣ Ricursive Intelligence (ricursive-dot-com, Anna Goldie, Azalia Mirhoseini) raised a paltry $300 million in January at a $4 billion valuation 2️⃣ Recursive (recursive-dot-com, Richard Socher, Caiming Xiong, Yingbo Zhou, Peter Norvig, Tim Rocktäschel, Jeff Clune) came out of semi-stealth with a small $650 million round at a $4.65 billion valuation 3️⃣ Today I registered Raicursive-dot-com (Eric Bonabeau, Eric Bonabeau, Eric Bonabeau) for $12 at an undisclosed valuation. I can't believe anyone thought of that. It's not the concept, it's the URL. PS: DM me if you want to acquire the most u̶s̶e̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ valuable piece of Internet real estate.
