You know, my own kind of work has evolved so much as a result of using these agents where I think I'm probably two to three X more productive just personally.

Arpin is a general partner at Spark Capital, a venture capital firm known for backing many influential technology companies over the last two decades.

The firm was also the first venture investor in Anthropic, giving the firm an early front row seat to the rapid evolution of generative artificial intelligence.

At Spark, Arpin focuses on investments across AI infrastructure, fintech, developer platforms, and emerging technologies shaping the next generation of computing.


Today, his work at Spark spans the full AI stack from chips, inference, infrastructure and data centers to models, agents and applications.

In addition to AI, Arpin spends significant time exploring the future of financial infrastructure, including stable coins, cross-border payments, and how programmable money may reshape the global financial system.

I look forward to speaking with him about all these topics and more through this conversation.
