When conceptual art, Pop Art and minimalist sculpture were in the ascendancy and many were saying that painting was dead, Mr. Marden issued a powerful counterstatement.

Brilliant conversation. Many entrepreneurs talk about recruiting the best talent and then stepping back and listening to them, few do it--@assaf_rappaport definitely does! Always learning from my partner @shardul_shah . .
.@wiz_io is setting a new benchmark for growth. The company reached $100M in ARR in their first 18 months & have now surpassed $200M, 3+ years in. We backed Wiz from day 1, believing in their vision & team. @shardul_shah sits down w/ CEO @assaf_rappaport:

I don’t know whether I’m more impressed by the teacher or the student in this one!.
I recently had a discussion with a group that brought up Howard Schultz. I consider Howard one of the greatest leaders I have encountered and it reminded me of a valuable leadership lesson he taught me. In 2015, Apple Music was about to launch in the US. Apple had been a partner.

Very good thinking on AI from a group of esteemed colleagues….
This week we published a 4-part AI series (including one of mine!), the result of much debate & discussion as a team. I hope it's just as thought-provoking for you.

It’s time for a crypto rethink. We need to inject more realism into the discussion. Crypto spring is not coming, it is not the new internet, and there are still too many speculators looking for a quick buck -- but that doesn't mean the dream is dead.

Crypto is an interesting technology that can do some things better–but it won't transform our economy, writes Index Ventures partner Danny Rimer.

Adobe has agreed to buy @Figma for ≈$20B. Huge kudos to @zoink and team on building such an iconic design and collaboration company. A few thoughts on this extraordinary business and team that I had the pleasure to work with for a decade.

Happy to celebrate great, scarce physical goods that tell a story ;) what a decade! Congrats and thank you for allowing us to be on this ride long enough to remember all this fine memorabilia @figma @zoink and @evanwallace.
10 years ago, in August 2012, I dropped out of @BrownUniversity to start @Figma with @evanwallace !. We might be in the business of digital design at Figma, but we love physical objects too! . So to celebrate 10 years I'm sharing 10 physical objects that are special to me. .

Enjoyed our conversation @cookie, thank you!. These current market conditions will push founders and VCs alike to readjust expectations, but long term will position the entire ecosystem for another sustainable 10-year run.
Making sense of the market right now with Danny Rimer of Index Ventures by @cookie.

A hero passes after a lifetime of disruption. An incredible artist and human. RIP. via @NYTimes.

Taking ordinary objects like hamburgers and household items, he sculpted them in unfamiliar, often imposing dimensions — what he called his “Colossal Monuments.”
