Phil Libin exits General Catalyst for All Turtles, a new AI 'startup studio'

AI is one of the buzzwords of the moment in the world of tech, with startups coming at the concept from all angles -- computer vision, machine learning, unstructured data inference and natural language processing being just a handful -- in a wider effort to create more intelligent machines. Now comes a new organization that hopes to find and foster the next wave of AI businesses and products, co-founded by the ex-CEO of Evernote, Phil Libin (pictured above), who has left his role as a managing director at General Catalyst to build it (but he tells me he'll stay on as an advisor). All Turtles, as the new company is called, is not your traditional startup incubator. In an interview with TechCrunch earlier, Libin (whose other co-founders are Jessica Collier (Product Design) and Jon Cifuentes (Research and Operations) described it as "startup studio", more akin to Netflix's push to develop original content than to 500 Startups. It will start out with locations in San Francisco, Tokyo and Paris.
