Overview
- MTS, which went live Monday on X, is funded by Andreessen Horowitz and led by Erik Torenberg and Brent Liang with angel support from Dan Romero and Packy McCormick.
- Built as a timeline-native channel, the stream runs continuously with hosts reacting to posts on X, pulling in prediction markets, and inviting guests for rapid commentary.
- The founding team includes Chris Bakke, Theo Jaffee, and Gabriel Dickinson, and the project is recruiting hosts, guests, and sponsors while running a public Discord for its audience.
- Marc Andreessen has already appeared, pitching MTS as a tool for fast “sense-making” and comparing its always-on mix to CNN’s early “Randomonium” programming.
- Early reviews describe a rough, reactive format that critics say looks like venture partners flipping between X, prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi, and quick sources, placing MTS within a broader push that also includes OpenAI’s TBPN deal and Peter Thiel–backed Objection.AI.
