<ul class="summary-list"><li>Sri Pangulur started his own syndicate while working as a sales executive in Silicon Valley.</li><li>He parlayed that syndicate experience to transition working in to venture capital at Tribe Capital.</li></ul>Sri Pangulur embraced the after-work hustle to invest in early-stage startups. By day, he was a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/billionaire-cloudflare-ceos-lawsuit-over-neighbors-dogs-getting-wild-2024-4">CloudFlare</a> sales executive. But after work, he spent up to 15 hours a week attending hackathons, meetups, and venture events to source the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/most-promising-startups-2024-according-top-vcs-2024-8">next hot startup</a>.There were many times when Pangulur just jumped straight into chasing a deal after a long day of work. He recalled when his CloudFlare team closed a high-stakes deal late on a Friday at the end of a quarter. But instead of celebrating with this team, he met with a hot seed stage company."I was trying to get into a pretty high profile seed round as well that had very little allocation left in the deal," he said, adding that he had to really beg to get a spot. After chatting with the CEO until midnight, Pangulur got into the deal.He started his side hustle investing efforts by writing small checks but soon found himself flooded with deal flow. He decided to formally create a syndicate called Overtime VC, investing up to $250,000 in seed and Series A rounds. Through Overtime, Pangulur invested nearly $20 million in 65 companies, with a focus on enterprise infrastructure and apps. Among those startups in his portfolio were <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/abnormal-security-valued-at-5-billion-in-new-funding-round-2024-6">Abnormal Security, currently valued at $5.1 billion</a>, and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/most-promising-enterprise-startups-according-to-vcs-2021#airbyte-open-source-tools-for-moving-data-2">Airbyte</a>, now valued at $1.5 billion.Pangulur met <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mayfield-vc-navin-chaddha-early-stage-startup-investment-opportunity-2022-7">Mayfield Fund managing partner Navin Chaddha</a> through investing. In 2016, the pair met at a tech networking event and kept in touch, discussing industry trends and collaborating on deals."This guy will go places," Chaddha recalled of his first impressions of Pangulur. Seven years later, Pangulur joined Mayfield as a partner.The path to VCBorn in Michigan and raised in Ohio, Pangulur grew up in a family of doctors. He initially was pre-med at Case Western University, intending to follow in his family's footsteps. But as the dot-com bubble brewed in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Pangulur decided to pursue finance.After college, he worked on the M&amp;A team at KeyBanc Capital Markets and then joined Lehman Brothers, focusing on software investments. He also got a taste for venture capital at TeleSoft Partners, an early-stage firm, before jumping to the operating side.Over the next decade, Pangulur worked in a range of sales roles, ultimately landing at CloudFlare to lead one of the company's first sales teams in North America. At CloudFlare, he gained experience selling to CTOs and CISOs across various companies, from startups to the Fortune 500.He also continued investing through his syndicate, Overtime VC, and brought these firsthand experiences to the founders he advised.Pangulur helped founders with recruiting, answering questions like, "Who's that first VP of sales you should hire? What does that profile look like, and how does that evolve over time as you scale?"The Overtime business kept scaling, and then he said he pondered whether he wanted to work at one company most of the time or work with many entrepreneurs full-time rather than on the side."That's when I had the realization that maybe I should do venture, " he said.'Cooking' at the Series BPangulur began raising his own venture fund based on the success of his syndicate fund, Overtime VC. But a few months into fundraising, he received an unexpected offer from Tribe Capital, a VC firm that uses data science to invest in crypto and software startups.With Tribe's $1.6 billion assets under management, Pangulur was drawn to the idea of writing bigger checks and advising founders as a board member. "I decided to take that jump," he said.At Tribe, Pangulur built out the firm's software investing practice. With a focus on enterprise infrastructure and software-as-a-service, Pangulur led six deals, including the sales intelligence startup Apollo, which is now valued at $1.6 billion.Last September, Pangulur joined Mayfield. "I wasn't actively looking to make a move," he said, but after working with Chaddha over the years through Overtime and Tribe, Pangulur was intrigued at a new opportunity to join the firm.He and Chaddha met for an in-person catch-up in the fall of 2022. "I went into the meeting thinking it would be a normal catch-up," Pangulur said. "But that's when he told me about the opportunity he sees in the market for the Spring Fund."<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-mayfield-doing-more-startup-investments-focusing-ai-2023-7">Mayfield</a> is one of Silicon Valley's oldest venture firms, with $3 billion in assets under management. While the firm has traditionally invested at the seed and Series A stages—it announced its seventeenth fund of $580 million focused on seed and Series A in 2023 — there was still a gap in the market for investment."Our Select/Spring Fund is aimed at founders who are beyond the ideation stage, with a team, early product-market fit, and initial market adoption," said Chaddha. "Their financing stage is typically at the A prime or Series B."The firm first raised a $125 million Spring fund in 2016 to invest in its breakout portfolio companies for follow-on investments. Last year, Mayfield raised a Select III/Spring Fund of $375 million, aiming to focus the vast majority of its investments on new outside opportunities.Pangulur was brought in to co-lead the firm's Select/Spring fund with Chaddha."He came from a sales background," Chaddha said. "He's investing at a stage where there's already product and customers— his go-to-market expertise is his superpower."This is the stage "where you need to get in the weeds, work with the founders, help them do some of that cooking," Pangulur said.Earlier this month, Pangulur announced two new investments he led: a $25 million Series B for billing infrastructure startup Orb and a $28 million Series B for TeamBridge, a workforce operating software startup.Despite the overall tepid funding market, Pangulur is optimistic. "The Spring Fund is a relatively new initiative," Pangulur said. "I want us to be one of the first calls that a lot of founders call when they're hitting that inflection between being at inception early stage to finding those early elements of product market fit and go-to-market repeatability."

The show had featured a few queer characters — an artist in season one, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/queen-charlotte-bridgerton-brimsley-first-name-2023-5">Queen Charlotte's footman Brimsley</a> in her spinoff series — but never one of the show's eventual leads. And for those keeping score at home, Benedict isn't the only apparently bisexual character on the show now: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/michaela-stirling-bridgerton-francesca-gay-john-cousin-book-change-2024-6">his sister Francesca likely is, too</a>, based on that major book change in the finale.Benedict's bisexuality isn't coming from the void. The show has long been building a queer storyline for him, and this is the moment that's finally coalesced."Benedict's fluidity is something we've been talking about from Season 1, which is why I think viewers have picked up on it," showrunner Jess Brownell told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2024-06-13/bridgerton-colin-penelope-jess-brownell-season-3">the Los Angeles Times</a>. "We wanted to do that storyline justice, and it felt like season three was a good place to do that to make sense of some of the threads we've seen with him before."<div type="image" title="paul suarez and benedict bridgerton speak outside on a terrace, casually smoking and facing each other as they lean again st a marble railing" height="2404" width="3205" msid="110977688" hostid="261" sizebytes="559406"></div><h2 id="366fb1c6-754b-46e8-9aa6-738530d40cfa">'Bridgerton' has been hinting at Benedict's queerness for a while</h2>Before season three, Benedict Bridgerton had yet to kiss another man. But in season one, he encountered the possibility for seemingly the first time through his friendship with the artist Henry Granville. Granville strikes up a friendship with Benedict, inviting him along to art parties. At one of them, Benedict walks in on Granville having sex with another man.When Benedict later confronts him about it and inquires about his marriage to a woman, Granville tells him that it's a necessary arrangement. His marriage allows his wife to pursue a life of her own while providing him with the cover to pursue his lover, Lord Wetherby, in secret."We live under constant threat of danger, Bridgerton. I risk my life every day for love," Granville tells Benedict. "You have no idea what it is like to be in a room with someone you cannot live without and yet still feel as though you are oceans apart."Unlike his siblings, Benedict hasn't pursued many serious relationships on the show, even though we haven't yet hit his season as a romantic lead. And he's not ready to do so yet! Especially after opening up a new avenue of sexual exploration.<h2 id="afe18068-62fb-471c-a4e5-baf2f84834e5">'Bridgerton' confirms that Benedict is bisexual through a threesome</h2>In season three, Benedict's relationship with the widow <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/benedict-bridgerton-wife-books-netflix-differences-lady-tilley-arnold-2024-5">Lady Tilley Arnold</a> culminates in an invitation to join her and her friend Paul Suarez for dinner. Benedict and Paul flirt a bit on the terrace before Benedict encounters Tilley and Paul kissing. Paul then invites Benedict upstairs, causing him to panic and leave the house in a rush.But fear not: After a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bridgerton-season-3-claudia-jessie-interview-eloise-penelope-cressida-2024-5">conversation with Eloise</a> at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bridgerton-season-3-changes-penelope-whistledown-reveal-better-than-book-2024-6">Colin and Penelope</a>'s wedding breakfast, Benedict decides to return to Lady Tilley's home. When Tilley and Paul return, he takes them up on their offer by kissing them both.It might seem a little cliché or stereotypical to cement Benedict's bisexuality through a threesome. But the decision doesn't feel particularly wanton within the context of the show.For one, Benedict is hardly the first Bridgerton brother to have a threesome on the show (this isn't even his first!). Furthermore, this man has clearly had some unfulfilled desires and curiosities that have been building since season one. We'll even pardon him for his corny remark in bed about loving a "party of three."<div type="image" title="benedict bridgerton stands behind lady tilley arnold in her bedroom, taking off his jacket as he leans into her. she's looking back towards him and smiling, wearing a nightrobe or thin dress" height="2400" width="3200" msid="110977687" hostid="261" sizebytes="888642"></div>Ultimately, Benedict isn't ready to settle down when Lady Tilley confesses that she's developed romantic feelings for him. Their encounter with Paul, as well as their own casual sexual relationship, has made him realize how much he enjoys being "free."It remains to be seen how "Bridgerton" will handle Benedict's story, though the writers appear to have set him up to be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bridgerton-season-4-lead-cast-release-date-trailer-information-2024-6">the romantic lead in season four</a>. In the books, he falls in love with a woman named Sophie at his mother's masquerade ball, though he doesn't learn her identity that night. Eventually, they marry, but it doesn't seem likely that "Bridgerton" will allow his queerness to fall entirely into the background.Regardless of what the future holds, let's celebrate this moment — a very bisexual "Bridgerton" season finale that, through both Benedict and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bridgerton-masali-baduza-michaela-stirling-2024-6">Francesca</a>, has set the show to foreground a queer romance in the future.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A US Air Force B-2 stealth bomber dropped new anti-ship munitions to help sink a decommissioned warship.</li><li>The exercise involving the munitions, known as QUICKSINK, took place last week in the Pacific.</li></ul>A US Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bomber used a new anti-ship munition to sink a decommissioned warship during a series of recent live-fire drills with partner forces in the Pacific Ocean, the US Navy said this week.The US military earlier this month held <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.dvidshub.net/news/476788/us-and-partner-nations-conduct-multiple-sinkexs-part-rimpac-2024">two sinking exercises</a>, known as SINKEXs, off the coast of Hawaii to practice targeting vessels at sea and train on different weapons systems.The B-2 aircraft released an experimental weapon called QUICKSINK during the second of the two drills, which took place on Friday and involved the decommissioned amphibious assault ship USS Tarawa.The bomber "proved a low-cost, air-delivered method for defeating surface vessels through a QUICKSINK demonstration, as part of the second SINKEX," the Navy's Third Fleet said in a statement Monday.The QUICKSINK experiment, which is funded by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, "aims to provide options to neutralize surface maritime threats while demonstrating the inherent flexibility of the joint force," the fleet said.<div type="image" title="A US F-15E Strike Eagle with modified 2,000-pound munitions as part of the second test in the QUICKSINK Joint Capability Technology Demonstration on April 28, 2022." height="3200" width="4800" msid="111997222" hostid="261" sizebytes="1432140"></div>"This capability is an answer to an urgent need to quickly neutralize maritime threats over massive expanses of ocean around the world at minimal costs," it added.The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://afresearchlab.com/technology/quicksink/">QUICKSINK experimental weapon</a>, which was first tested several years ago, essentially pairs existing Joint Direct Attack Munition guidance kits with new seeker technology that allows the munition to home in on a stationary or moving target at sea with precision.Such a weapon would give the US and partner forces more strike options in the maritime domain, especially in a fight in the Pacific where combat might take place across large stretches of open ocean. Over the years, the various elements of the US armed forces have been pursuing more and more anti-ship capabilities."Torpedoes, such as the heavyweight MK-48, are still the primary method used to sink enemy ships," the Air Force Research Laboratory has said of this type of combat, but "new methods explored through QUICKSINK may be able to achieve the same kind of anti-ship lethality with air-launched weapons, including modified 2,000-pound class precision-guided bombs."That opens the doors to bomber aircraft and other platforms that might prove less vulnerable than submarines and possibly more effective."A Navy submarine has the ability to launch and destroy a ship with a single torpedo at any time, but by launching that weapon, it gives away its location and becomes a target," the Air Force said.The service added that QUICKSINK "aims to develop a low-cost method of achieving torpedo-like seaworthy kills from the air at a much higher pace and over a much larger area than covered by a lumbering submarine."In addition to B-2s dropping QUICKSINK bombs, a US Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet used a Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile, or LRASM, to help sink the Tarawa. This relatively new weapon is a "precise, stealthy, and survivable cruise missile" that is capable of offensive anti-surface warfare, Third Fleet said.The first SINKEX event, which involved the sinking of the decommissioned amphibious transport dock USS Dubuque, took place on July 11. Both the Tarawa and the Dubuque were sunk in 15,000-foot-deep water dozens of miles off the coast of Hawaii.The SINKEXs included American, South Korean, Dutch, Australian, and Malaysian forces and were held during the Exercise Rim of the Pacific 2024, the world's largest international maritime exercise.<div type="image" title="Royal Netherlands Navy De Zeven Provinciën-class frigate HNLMS Tromp fires a Harpoon missile during a long-planned live-fire sinking exercise as part of Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024." height="2153" width="3230" msid="111997220" hostid="261" sizebytes="296910"></div>"Sinking exercises give us a chance to sharpen our skills, learn from one another, and get real-world experience," said US Navy Vice Adm. John Wade, the RIMPAC 2024 Combined Task Force Commander."Using advanced weapons and seeing the professionalism of our teams during these drills shows our commitment to keeping the Indo-Pacific region safe and open," he added.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Michael B. Jordan spoke to IndieWire about the inspiration behind his directorial debut, "Creed 3."</li><li>In the interview, Jordan highlighted his love for popular animes like "Naruto" and "Dragon Ball Z"</li></ul>First-time director Michael B. Jordan spoke about the making of "Creed 3" and his anime inspirations <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2023/02/creed-3-boxing-michael-b-jordan-anime-influence-1234813196/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in an interview with IndieWire published Tuesday.</a> "I love the themes of anime, culturally, what they say about the bonds of friendships, betrayal, revenge, promises," Jordan told the outlet. In the third installment of the "Rocky" spin-off, Jordan's character, Adonis Creed, must face off against childhood friend and former boxing prodigy Damian Anderson (Jonathan Majors) to prove that he's still the best.Jordan told the outlet that he referenced popular characters and storylines from the anime series "Naruto" and "Dragon Ball Z." The actor-turned-director mentioned being inspired by "outcast" heroes that must "overcome all odds" in the genre of anime. "I love the thought process of anime, the internal dialog, and seeing the world through how [characters] think. They just achieve a level of action that live action just sometimes doesn't give you," Jordan said to IndieWire.<div type="image" title="Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors looking at each other inside a boxing ring" height="1440" width="2560" msid="98418033" hostid="261" sizebytes="128482"></div>Jordan also detailed to IndieWire the different technology and camera lenses he used to make "Creed 3." The actor said he focused on the boxers' perspective to zero in on their rivalry during pivotal fighting scenes."I thought that was the perfect kind of like world to take Adonis and Damian to," Jordan said. "Because it wasn't about anybody else. I wanted to see if I could make it feel like it was just two brothers that had to go settle some shit."Jordan was specifically inspired by "Naruto" while filming Adonis and Damian's fighting scene. "I wanted it to feel very emotional, like it's just them. It's just the two of them," he told the outlet. "It's kind of like in 'Naruto' when you go inside of Naruto where the Ninetails Fox is sealed. It's a void." Majors has also spoken about Jordan's love for anime."Michael is a big fan of anime. He always talked about the complexities of the friendships in those stories and the rivalries and all that," Majors said in an interview with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-QblgqyfqE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Irish publication Entertainment.ie.</a>Though Majors didn't name any specific anime, the actor detailed a storyline that heavily inspired "Creed 3.""He showed me one of his favorite anime cartoons and it was these two best friends, and we really parallel this in some ways in our picture. They get to a point in the fight and their battles where everything else seems to fall away," Majors continued."Creed 3," which premiered March 3, is on course to open at the top of the box office and will have the biggest first-weekend opening of the spin-off series, according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/creed-iii-box-office-opening-1235340591/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.
