Jordan Topoleski

I'm an operator, builder, and optimist.

Grew up in Toledo, Ohio
Fascinated by game design, systems, & governance - the internet is all of these at play!
Went to Harvard and studied the history of tech, dropped out to start a company
Exited a tech agency for startups & SMBs, interned for a month as a F500 CEO
Raised $10M+ and built products in consumer fintech, AI, and alternative assets
Now building the future of human-AI systems at Anysphere, starting with Cursor
Investing in the future of culture x technology with Explore Capital
Living in San Francisco, and treasure spending lots of time outdoors

Culture. There are two categories of capital: status and money. Influencing the first is more powerful than the second, and has larger ripple effects.
Philosophy and Information Theory. Understanding the mind is one of our most interesting and difficult challenges. I spend a lot of my free time here.
Entrepreneurship and Technology. Raising the ceiling is more powerful than raising the floor. Frontier ideas seem like the best way to do this.
