Allegiant Stadium might be hosting Morgan Wallen tomorrow but the stadium’s hottest ticket was Greylock’s security leader x portfolio Black Hat event.

Thanks for including me Business Insider on this year's list of up-and-coming startups. Of course top of mind is Braintrust, building an LLM Evaluation platform (feeling lucky to be listed *with* financial interest), and also discussed Decagon building in AI customer support. https://lnkd.in/ggpw-PbQ
