If you really want to hold yourself to a high standard, graph the growth rate of the number you care about instead of the number itself. Then you're winning if you can even keep it flat.
The reason I have a platform today is solely bc I shared how I broke into venture 5 years on Twitter. I created a 10 pg Why Me deck to convince my firm to hire me. The logic: If I wanted...
Most successful entrepreneurs you talk to, if they're being honest, would say something along the lines of, "If I knew everything I know now, I would not have done it." The kind of people who decide they want to be founders...
If you have 1000 servers, each experiencing a fatal error randomly once every 3 years… you will get random, unpredictable, unstoppable failures every single day. Scale is hard because it makes rare things common. https://t.co/HHxsPMDKQD
We are now in part of the cycle where secondary marketplaces are soliciting investors for a $1B pre-seed round at a $4B valuation.
marketplace startups are destined to be massively reinvented by AI. The weak form is already happening, where we use LLMs for customer support, supply/demand matching, etc. That’s easy The strong form is to figure out how much of the supply side...

Most startup pitches fail for one reason. Founders list features while investors hear 850 pitches a year and feel nothing. Story works better because the brain runs it like a flight simulator, letting investors rehearse the customer’s struggle and win. Show the world...
Everyone when they see a successful brand: 'They got lucky.' Ecom founders when they see a successful brand: 'What system did they build to make that repeatable?' Different mindset. Different perspective.
Another advantage of focusing on growth rate rather than absolute numbers is that it makes it easier to switch to a new variant of the product if you discover one. It makes it easier to see tails that will eventually...
Imagine if you own a mango tree without owning the farm.... Yes, it is possible in India. A startup in India is letting people rent a mango tree for a season and enjoy 90kg of fresh mangoes delivered to their home. The...

That's wild. 3+ months and still waiting for VAT ID. Is this normal in Germany? 😳
The easiest way to open doors in VC is to be known for something before anyone asks. A sector. A thesis. A point of view you publish. Visibility creates opportunities.
thinking: products that help humans get credit for the work accomplished by agents they supervise in the enterprise will have better adoption than agentic solutions that do the work instead of humans. credit feeds ego, drives adoption...and accountability.
If you do AI inference via OpenAI’s API, you should use the flex tier for half price. My requests always try to use flex tier first, and on 429 / 500 errors, I use the default service tier. 95% of my...

🦾@RevolveSurgical just received FDA 510(k) clearance for their surgical robot platform. They built a system that mounts directly to the operating table—zero footprint, one-person setup. Their goal is to bring physical AI to operating rooms at scale. https://t.co/CWRG5009yK https://t.co/smBh8Hc9nN
If you're in your 20's do this: -Don't watch Netflix (2 extra hours/day) -Uninstall Instagram (1 extra hour/day) -Uninstall Facebook (1 extra hour/day) 4 extra hours/day = 28 hours/week. Spend that time building, marketing and launching your MVP. Try it and see what happens.

In all of human history, there’s never been a better place or time to be a builder than San Francisco right now.

The risk of a startup is not having an edge. From the JustPaid podcast. https://t.co/LbaSP4OUa6
I got laughed out of film school by my peers. That embarrassment built a $1,000,000,000 company. At USC, I was one of 4 students selected for a senior thesis film. Out of thousands. I thought that meant something. It didn't.
