    Om was one of my first blog readers, when no one else did. I remember he invited me down to nyc for some conference once, just as a gift to come hang out and be in the mix. It was a small thing but it meant so much at the time

    I've known Om Malik for 26 years. We built companies during the first internet boom. We discovered photography together. We wandered Greenland, Svalbard, Wyoming, Idaho, and plenty of places in between. During COVID, he was part of my tiny bubble. We spent far more time talking

    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

    I have been in shock ever since I heard the news of Om Malik's passing. Om was one of the nicest people I met when I first came to the Bay Area. Everyone has a story of Om doing them a favor - I have several. He is someone to emulate and look up to. I had fallen out of touch [ima…

    Oh no. Very sad to learn that @om.co has passed.  He and I started tech reporting (and blogging) around the same time, and we used to compare notes frequently back in the day.  —  om.co/2026/06/24/1...
