Some of us are paying attention!
Undersea infrastructure is the single most fragile layer of the global economy yet nobody in tech is paying attention. Here are the facts: > Big Tech secretly owns half of the world’s subsea internet > China’s shipbuilding outpaces the U.S. by 232�� > Deep sea mining is already

Financial projections, especially macroeconomic forecasts, are largely useless. Investors who do not understand this are beyond saving.

Early stage founders should never hire consultants. They charge you money to add negative value. Do your own market research. Talk to potential customers yourself!

If a pre-seed investor asks you for financials, block them immediately.

Didn't think my interests in maritime and niche NBA players would ever intersect but then Zaza Pachulia walked into our hardware lab. Had to show him Thalassa knows ball!

No smiling until we're subsea
Arjun cold-DM’d me (he had just 24 followers at the time). We funded them. He and his team are building underwater drone swarms to provide high-bandwidth networks beneath the sea. They moved to SF. Welcome to @fdotinc
