I've backed some incredible founders over the years. But watching my son @AdamDraper raise $87,654,321 for Boost VC's fourth fund? That hits different. VC is our family trade. It's what we do. And Adam? He's not riding coattails. He dropped out of UCLA. Built his own thing.

Ran into Andrew from @MakeSunsets at Roots of Progress. I liked his pitch: it’s ozempic for climate change. Long run we probably should eat a better diet and exercise more, but right now maybe we need to shed some heat fast.
Climate change is stupidly EASY to solve. This company @MakeSunsets can do it by launching $1-2B/yr worth of sulfur-dioxide-filled balloons into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight & cool the planet. No regulations. No treaties. No lifestyle changes. SO₂ is all you need 🙌

Momentum is the most underrated form of capital. Nations have it. People have it. Guard it ruthlessly.

Big day for @BoostVC LPs 👀 @hany and @OpheliaBSnyder have built @21shares into an incredible business and smart move by @FalconXGlobal to buy. Was their first VC check 8 years ago. They made their first ever pitch come true: ‘make buying crypto as easy as buying a stock’ 🚀

Rare to see a fund "make between 120 and 180 deals out of its newest core fund." The model works. This is the way. @BoostVC 🤝 @BoxGroup
BoxGroup is excited to continue to be in the business of funding early stage ambitious founders building products they dream about - we've raised two new funds, each $275m, to give to founders as early as possible @BoxGroup More here:

Founders MUST compete in 3 markets: customers, capital & talent. A great founder knows what they are best and worst at, and builds accordingly.
