Product

While she doesn't do much today, Astrid Francesca Walk has a long & happy product roadmap ahead of her. At 21 inches & 8 lbs she's no lean startup!

How to describe her feature set? Some say "airbnb for diapers," but we just call her "our daughter" and think she'll definitely be one of the most amazing new ventures ever launched in Silicon Valley. Don't take our word for it, check out her amazing social poop, i mean proof!

NOTE: will not be entertaining M&A offers until she's at least 18!!!

Ryan Sarver Hunter and Caroline are two of the best co-founders I know. While lacking any experience in the market they have shown strong capabilities in other, similar markets.

Peter Pham Can't confirm or deny that I was or wasn't a seed investor ;) But pretty damn sure this is going to be something that takes advantage of all social media channels from day one. I'm hopeful realtime analytics of daily metrics will be available thru a twitter feed..

Shervin Pishevar Proud seed investor....wait. Can't wait for the IPO!

Ethan Kurzweil Peter, there's an app for that...

John Lilly Great founders. Not so sure on the plan yet. Think they need maybe one more team member to really be viable. Could also use some branding and naming work.

Joe Marchese I want to go on the record saying that generally I do not support child labor, but given the stock this one is coming from on both sides, I can't wait to put this one to work. 1000x return, here I come.

MG Siegler As it enters the world, this baby needs my help to reach its potential. Having worked in the media for a long time, I can provide sound advice. Clearly.

Freada Kapor Klein Great work on addressing gender pipeline problem in SV. Need to focus on rapid scaling as shortage of women entrepreneurs is dire.

Frank Barbieri I think the world needs more polymaths.

Tom Conrad Since I'm not a father, there's really only one part of this process I was able to advise on and I provided those insights nine months ago. Do I continue to vest?

Satya Patel The love child of Hunter and Caroline is no ordinary new venture. She has incredible DNA, a strong team supporting her and the wherewithal to overcome any obstacle, including loose stool, colic and reflux. The only risk factor is whether she will be as tempermental as her father, in which case partnering with my daughter may be out of the question. Fortunately, her mom is a gem.

Dave McClure I'm planning on having several pre-natal "sailor swearing" ultrasound sessions with my client, to ensure they can curse a blue streak in multiple languages. f#*k yeah!

Christine Tsai Backed by a strong team and solving a huge problem for her target customers. A similar venture of mine looks forward to collaborating with her over a playdate of toys, milk and Cheerios.

Ann Miura Ko This product launch is going to be epic. As far as Thunderlizards go, there are few that will be nearly as cute (with the possible exception of my own little munchkins) or smart or explosive (and I mean in terms of growth - not diapers).

Ethan Kurzweil finally out of stealth!

David Hornik Very high beta but I'm an optimist :)

Sahil Lavingia Not a believer; little to no traction.

Ron Bouganim I'll assume from that second pic that there will be a cap on this note?

Josh Stein This is going to be one to watch.. clear product/market fit, killer startup pedigree and up all hours of the night "working". Not much experience but seems like a fast learner.
