Second this. And it’s not just the education— it’s the experience. College is a time to experiment and make mistakes. That de-risks you as an investment. And make no mistake, early stage investors invest in founders, not products.
Don't drop out of college to start or work for a startup. There will be other (and probably better) startup opportunities, but you can't get your college years back.

I don’t know about how the Epstein thing but… I’ve seen some of those other things (especially the poor treatment of female founders) and generally agree there is a not-insignificant portion of VCs that wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near LP $ at any credible financial institution.
I am not suicidal. I will begin to expose this. The Epstein list implicates many VCs. ARR Fraud.Money Laundering.Shady Term Sheets.Are just the tippy top of the iceberg. Subhuman degenerates run Silicon Valley.

RT @BillAckman: This is a global horror that needs to be stopped. How can we allow this to happen to an American no less?.

Isn’t that, like, the entire value proposition? Otherwise it’s just a ChatGPT wrapper?.
@pshen28 @AntonioSitongLi this is awesome!!! . if there's any unsolicited advice I could give, it is that internally, cluely is shifting away from advertising the undetectability as a core feature and due to legal constraints, we will likely start prompting our users to be much more transparent about.

Also, man, almost nobody talks about it but the similarities between the music world and the startup world are MASSIVE. Artists and founders are the same. And the ones who do it out of passion will always beat the ones who do it for the fame.

This makes me happy. It’s like the #1 thing I pitch to early founders re: strategy. Subscriptions are just too imposing of a gate for startups trying to demonstrate value to users. Plus, great data on how your customers are using the product! . Value aligned for everyone.
5 meetings with pre-seed founders today and 3 pitched usage-based pricing models. Tbh, I’m surprised just how fast this is happening. Buckle up sassy friends 🤠.

Gotta go where the ball is going, not where it is in the moment.
The cycle of pre-seed investing:. 1) Invest in weird, overlooked (but high impact) stuff.2) Weird, overlooked stuff becomes hot.3) Weird, overlooked stuff now becomes consensus (hence uninvestible for you).4) Find new weird, overlooked stuff.5) Go back to step 1).

Chris is great! Very generous with his knowledge.
Great read from @ChrisHarveyEsq on venture's split into mega-platforms or experienced & emerging, and what it means for LP activity and expectations. "Institutional readiness" is a term that newer managers will become particularly familiar with over the next year. Link below.

It’s not surprising to me that the the VC who famously doesn’t do DD led the Cluely series A. They should hire some associates!.

Oh hey I did a LinkedIn post about this yesterday.
@_rockt This is a fundamental flaw of sequential (auto-regressive) symbol prediction. The fix is simple: don't do auto-regressive symbol prediction.

Hi, if you could just send me your LinkedIn post or whatever announcing you joining / leaving / being promoted in an investment-focused role at a VC in the last week or so, you’d save me like 40 minutes of LinkedIn scrolling and I’ll boost you in our newsletter. Deal? .#venture.

I resemble this remark.
“prestigious” titles that are secretly low signal. > Forbes 30u30.> Any MBA.> Investment Banking / Consulting.> Amazon.> UPenn .> 80% of VC firms .> 80% of PMs.> “Co-founder @ Stealth Startup”.> “Entrepreneur” .> Tech Influencer. this post is 50% ragebait and 50% true.

Another one… Yes China buys Iranian oil but Iran is not a proxy for China… where do these people come from?.
Something people don’t understand:. Iran is a proxy of China. China is their primary financial backer, buying ~90% of Iran’s oil (avoiding sanctions). Most precursors for Iran’s weapons come from China. China’s top proxies are Russia & China. A weakened Iran is a win for the West.

Ever read something and think, “this person needs to go outside more?”.
Reminder of how much the hard left hates tech and why we need to organize, be aware of their nutjob politicians and policies, and vote smarter. Engineers will literally create a modern marvel!. But dangerous ideologues will foment violence against us and what we want to build
