    Will you get dependent on it like sleeping pills?

      At least habitually you gotta figure. I had a roommate who could only sleep while his broken fan was going and it would go “click click click click click” you have to imagine that at some point it broke.

    Just lie on the side, close your eyes and don’t think too much. There, you’ve just saved $350.

    That CEO is giving major Elizabeth Holmes vibes, and product sounds just as fish-oily. Shame on CNET promoting such BS science

    Pink noise is similar to White noise and those have already being used by professional Sleep Specialists to help people who work night shifts, have Jet Lag, or even insomnia to fall asleep. The brainwave monitoring is likely measuring your sleep cycle and how much sound to produce. If you’re already in a deep sleep state, it can remove all sound all together. I also wonder if it has an app to track sleep cycle as well. I know that apps usually means a subscription fee. But you need engineers to develop it and add features over time, and the cost to host the servers in the cloud. Software engineers can easily make over 100,000 a year and even a small startup tech company would need a small team of them. They can’t possibly offset the costs with the cost of the device that is likely a niche market.

    Okay… so I normally fall asleep in about 1 minute after closing my eyes.. so if I wear this, I will sleep in 35 seconds?

Venture firms are turning to creators to build trust with the next generation of founders before a check is ever written. It’s a trend that’s been building with a16z’s acquisition of Erik Torenberg’s Turpentine podcast and OpenAI’s acquisition of TBPN. Lightspeed Venture Partners just made its own notable hire in that vein, bringing on Claire Zau, a seed investor with a major following on Instagram and TikTok, to source deals and co-host the firm’s new show, Lightwork, alongside CMO Josh Machiz.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis is joined by Zau and Machiz to dive deep into whether the “creator-investor” is becoming a real function in venture or just something firms are still trying to figure out.
