About
A brand-new way to publish, the first one built for the AI era. A Capsule is a story that comes alive when you scroll. It reads like a short film feels like a book. Print got the novel. Film got the movie. AI gets the Capsule. https://capsules.ink
Impact
New mediums mint new economies. Substack minted writers. YouTube minted filmmakers. Capsules mints both at once and this time the tools are AI-enabled. A thousand careers that don't exist yet, all telling stories worth reading.
Progress
Live platform, paying customers. Published capsule library from real storytellers, founders, memoirists, researchers. Capsules have successfully aided in public goods fundraising, launch announcements, and science communication.
Team
I publish Capsules myself and run the Creative Lab. I know where writers stall, where AI fails them, and what makes a reader finish. Privacy engineering taught me to ship trustworthy systems. Storytelling taught me why.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
