Ive found Airbnb’s curation of boutique hotels to be much better when travelling in USA and Europe - lots of small hotels would rather use their system then build their own. Best of both

Me: I see portfolio growth like an alligator farm... toss a raw steak in and see who bites

I’ve worked closely with

I’ll say it now, working with
@coinfund_io
founders is an absolute delight. They are no-BS, real people building some of the coolest tech I’ve ever seen. No drama only vibes 🌟
There is no greater sense of camaraderie than recognizing a fellow crypto person at the gate on your way to Austin. Or maybe it’s the mutually assured destruction? 🐎🤠

sometimes the solution isn't self-care. it isn't taking a bath or getting a manicure - it's just putting your head down for a whole day and working through the things you've been emotionally dreading.

Normalize allocating shares/tokens from your founder stake to your best friends, your parents, your therapist, and everyone else who keeps you alive and dedicated to growing an exponential business. Their emotional labour contributions are highly undervalued imho

10/ Overall, great work everyone. We made it through another whirlwind and kept our wits. And I made it back to Miami in time to place second in the Key Biscayne olympic triathlon on sunday morning 🥈. Denver altitude made the difference 💯 .
The best VCs are those that could go off and start their own thing, yet choose to band together to mindshare and find top level companies to back. I'm lucky to work around colleagues like this every day at

Do you ever just look around and feel really, truly grateful? Some days I honestly can’t believe we get to live the lives we live. Yes the travel, constant change and conflict at every turn is exhausting; but some days it feels so worth it. Keep glowing friends
After 6 months of work I had my first fully-spanish hour with my tutor today. very few mistakes. wide-ranging conversation. jacked up. 2024 is the year, pals.
