For as long as I've known @ethanagarwal, he’s been thinking about running for office to bring his ideas to the public and make a difference in where we live. He loves California and I have no doubt he will shake things up and change what government can do for us.
I'm running for Governor of California. I think California is the greatest state in America and I want us to realize our full potential. Don't vote for me if you think things are generally ok; you have plenty of other candidates to choose from. If you think California's

John Hu started Stan to give social media creators like himself more ways to monetize their followings.

💡 Pricing is one of the most powerful & most overlooked GTM levers. In reality, it should be a dynamic driver of growth. In the AI era, old pricing tools can’t keep up. Speed, intelligence, adaptability are the new bar. That’s why @pearvc is backing @spyrikaras & Dealops.

Stuck in traffic on 101? You're not alone. 1/ Last week, I was quoted ~$200 for an Uber from Palo Alto to SF because I wanted to take the carpool lane. I'm frustrated enough I've started researching why. 2/ Why is the richest and smartest state in the world not able to build

This week, I’m flying to London to watch @SheffieldUnited United play in the Championship Final at Wembley. As a shareholder and board member, I’ll have a front-row seat. But in my heart, I’ll be that boy from Tehran again — playing barefoot on dirt fields, chasing a ball with

The team at DevAI were senior operators prior to joining PearX and have been a pleasure to work with. We worked with them on early customer development, solidifying their idea and getting their first MVP to market before they raised successfully from @emergencecap
🚀 PearX 😍 DevAI When @susiewee & Edwin Zhang joined PearX, they had no product—just rare expertise & a bold vision to reinvent dev experience. Fast build. Real user feedback. Clear story. A short few days after Demo Day: $6M raised from @emergencecap , @Base10Partners

This story about @pejmannozad and @dougleone never gets old for me.
Early one Saturday morning, I arrived at @dougleone's home in Atherton with two vans full of Persian rugs. Doug, the charming Italian venture capitalist from Sequoia, knew exactly what he wanted—and none of my rugs matched his vision. As we talked, I offered to help @sequoia

furious this happened to @simulacronist. on a street i've walked down countless times. SF needs to be cleaned up and the perpetrator needs to be charged. Hoping vish has a speedy recovery.
i was recently discharged from the icu at the sf hospital after traumatic brain injury due to a man hitting me on the back of my head with a metal pipe, completely unprovoked, in the mission in san francisco. this man is known to the police since he’s done this before to other
