Sequoia Capital co-steward Alfred Lin distributed 200 custom-engraved Mac Minis at the firm’s “AI at the Frontier” event. The Mac Mini has become the unofficial hardware of OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework that surpassed React as GitHub’�s most-starred project and caused Apple hardware shortages. The company did not invest in the project, but this move positions them at the centre of the agentic AI layer, where Lin believes the next wave of venture-backable companies will emerge. The base Mac Mini had sold out first and higher-memory configurations sold out by April 22. The openClaw was built by Peter Steinberger, an Austrian developer who previously founded PSPDFKit, which was acquired by Insight Partners for an estimated $100 million in 2024.
