networking aimlessly << 1 friend with a good network. people really underestimate how much it matters to build REAL friendships within your industry. At the end of the day, deals get made by humans. Whether you're fundraising, selling that big customer or trying to hire someone.

Dear x, pls stop cluttering my feed with engagement farming threads. I want raw, first hand posts (ideally from smart ppl, or hot takes, or at least smth that makes me smile). Not shitty summaries from full time “content creators” armed with chatgpt 🥲.

Strong correlation between my amount of time spent on a plane and response time on whatsapp.

Question for the prompting stars. My mother is an author. She writes historical novels, published 15 books (and even wrote a bestseller). She’s my biggest inspiration and the most curious person I’ve encountered. I always joke that if a criminal would try to take her hostage,

What makes SF special isn’t the skyline or the weather. It’s the people. And the conversations that change how you think - and what you want to build next. I'm so grateful I get to be here.

Ofc you can listen to Joscha on a podcast. But nothing compares to sitting across from him for hours, unpacking AGI, consciousness, meaning of life. Together with a dozen others just as sharp and curious.

That week changed everything for me. I decided to fully move here. And now, we try to recreate that magic for other Europeans landing in SF - through the dinners and salon discussions we host @founderembassy.

SF’s magic isn’t the size of the fundraises or the hype. It’s the density of brilliant ppl and the access you have to them. You can be in the room. You ask follow-ups. You challenge and get challenged back.

It took a year of visiting, then one magic week, to feel it. A friend with an insane network let me tag along to everything. I found myself in living rooms and backyards with the minds actually shaping the future.

When I first started coming to SF, I have to admit I didn’t really get it. Sure, it’s on the ocean - but so is Lisbon, and it’s 10x cheaper and arguably more charming. Sure, the weather’s great - but so is Barcelona’s.

Last night made me fall in love with SF all over again. Twelve sharp minds, four hours of deep Sunday night conversation over dinner with @Plinz - one of the most fascinating voices in AI.

Hosted a vibe hackathon last night. Everyone in the house has been coding since childhood, with phds from the best unis, working on super technical startups. Except 2 ppl.Matt our resident chef from Paris.Aidan a sales guy from Rho. The best demos? The 2 ppl who never

Where do you draw the line between a machine and a robot? . For my German girlies, is a Thermomix a robot then?

After some years spending time in SF as a passionate European, i’ve come to the conclusion that you really can’t compare European tech hubs to SF. This city plays in its own league. During the pandemic Miami, Austin, nyc all cosplayed Silicon Valley. But now they’re back in the.
