Buffet's few final thoughts in his final letter-

After a quarter of living on the East Coast, I'm not sure how folks watch any meaningful football on this side. It starts late in the evening, and for early morning starters, it's lights out before we even get to the half-time. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Beautiful fall weather; runner’s delight in N.C.

If you think that AI is slowing down, think again! Here is @NVIDIA’s $1 trillion to $5 trillion journey, it happened in mere 2 years and 5 months. $1 trillion to $2 trillion May 30, 2023 → Mar 1, 2024: 276 days $2 trillion to $3 trillion Mar 1, 2024 → Jun 5, 2024: 96 days

Stuck founders find it difficult to get advice from their immediate circle. All the advice from other founders and their investors is one directional - generational company or zero. There’s almost zero content or support to help founders exit companies if it’s not a home run.

We lead preseed rounds which look very different than the seed rounds. Founders raising $500k-$3m should think of us before they tap any large funds! We are going to make 3 more investments this year so email us! We are 1st check investors in almost 100 companies!

It's a shitty feeling as a parent in the US when schools go through "lockdown." Drills or not, the psychological impact of this on the kids is just nuts. I am not aware of any other decent country in the world that puts its young citizens through this. Thoughts and prayers :(

Varanasi at its best. The place you can never visit just once.

One of the app layer AI portfolio companies I work closely with is experiencing significant growth on a global scale and looking for back end / full stack engineers to help them scale out their systems. Some highlights: -Handling millions of transactions every month -Rolling out

Beautiful day to get another run in the woods.

Being able to get a good night's sleep and eating home-cooked meals regularly is an absolute luxury in life - don't let other things distract you.

Not unless you’re ready for 7yrs of intrusive ads and endless spam from services you never in a million years would have signed up for. 🥲😐

Right now, let me add a third. Failure to get to fundable metrics. Right now, we have everyone leaning in to insane growth metrics that some companies have achieved. You have to know if there will be funders for whatever you achieve with seed $$.

"Opportunities don't happen. You create them." – Chris Grosser Success in business comes from being proactive. Seek out and create your own opportunities instead of waiting for them to come to you.

If gaslighting needed a definition. I understand that Anushka was playing tongue and cheek with this. Rameshwaram is an overrated tourist trap.
