Hard Things

​Hard Things is back.

​We’re excited to return to our community of physical AI founders, investors, and ecosystem partners with Chris Yeh.

​Chris Yeh is the co-author of Blitzscaling, the book that explains how to build world-changing companies like Amazon, Alibaba, and Airbnb in record time.

​A writer, investor, and entrepreneur, Chris has had a ringside seat in the world of startups and scaleups since 1995. His books help founders, venture capitalists, corporate leaders, policymakers, and everyday people better understand how the internet has changed the way we work together to build amazing organizations.

​As a reminder, Hard Things is an invite-only event series organized by Mavka Capital with the support of Foley & Lardner LLP, dedicated to the innovators and breakthroughs shaping Physical AI — the shift from cloud-based intelligence to AI embodied in machines and real-world systems.
