I spent a few weeks volunteering at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand out of college. Elephants are so smart and emotional it’s kind of scary.
Elephants help each other in distress, grieve for their dead, feel emotions like us. This is Nosey making her first new friend at her sanctuary after working in a circus for 29 years.

Startup operators make the best VCs (with some exceptions).
as a VC, if you’ve never been a founder or part of a pre-pmf startup, you should probably not give founders advice on how to find pmf for their specific company. you need a lot of credibility to give that advice and most of you do not have said credibility.

This is a huge moment. Peaker plants are the most enduring need for gas power plants in our grid. Virtual power plants 📈.
Sorry - I already reposted this once. But, it's been sitting with me. I'm just starting to realize how absolutely incredible this graph is. We've been talking about virtual power plants for 20+ years. And, it's now happening at a meaningful scale. And it's not just Tesla -.

America losing the green energy race is one of the biggest all time economic fumbles. ALL of the tech was made here. Now it’s driving Chinas economy and we’re decades behind.
america inventing solar cells & lithium-ion batteries but failing to scale production or deployment is our own version of the ming burning zheng he’s fleet. china will race ahead while america remains behind. genuinely insane lack of industrial policy or foresight on display.
