It is with profound sadness that we share the news of Om Malik’s passing.
It’s difficult to state the impact that @om had on all of our lives at True.
Om was the first Founder we funded when we started True. In our Presidio office, Om discussed his idea for a new type of media company. That idea would later become GigaOm.
Om was a brilliant Founder, an amazing teammate and Partner at True, a prolific writer, a gifted photographer, and a sage and valuable advisor to so many in the technology ecosystem.
Om was brilliant, thoughtful, humorous, profoundly kind, and deeply curious. He was also relentless when he had an idea or story. Om was brave - he never shied away from sharing his views or pushing for the truth.
We were very, very lucky to call Om our Partner and friend at True for these last many years.
For today, we simply encourage you to take a moment to remember this beautiful soul and great thinker who was in our midst. He would ask us to slow down a bit. Om would want us to think deeper, express our love for one another a lot more.
Above all else, Om wanted us all to retain our humanity and care for each other in our brilliant quest to rebuild the world.
We love you Om.
Team True

It was a powerful reminder that collective success grows from an inclusive community—where founders, investors, and entrepreneurs come together to exchange ideas. We’ve seen it before in Web 2.0 and mobile, and we’re seeing it again in AI.
We were especially proud to see three True portfolio companies on stage: Julie Bornstein of Daydream, Nicholas Thorne of Audos, and @JustinMezzell of @Digg—part of a group of 20 forward-thinking leaders shaping the future of consumer AI. Each offered a unique and inspiring perspective on what’s possible.
