Love this from Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscars speech last night: “When we support each other, not when we cancel each other out for past mistakes, but when we help each other grow. When we educate each other. When we guide each other toward redemption, that is the best of humanity,”.

A Utah entrepreneur has gone missing in Palo Alto. @erinmvalenti has not been seen since Monday night. To my friends in the Bay Area, please keep a look out. Hoping that she is found and is doing well.

EVERY company I know or work with in Silicon Valley has a plan to hire engineers somewhere outside of region. All cities with high engineering talent should find a way to raise awareness here (if they want this job growth).

The best angel investors in the world show up pre-cap table. How? Before the company is even formed, they offer guidance, wisdom & their network. Because that’s why they do. They are the most genuine supporters of the entrepreneur when it matters most. People like @naval.

We wrote $106M in premium in 2018, up from $4M in 2017. What a year. Nearly half of our 2018 total ($51M) came in Q4. @joinroot
