I’m hiring an investor. You’ll be the first hire working with me on the most interesting, complex and asymmetric special situations in tech. You’ll be a good fit if you:. - trade annual letters like Pokémon .- are high pace and biased to action.- are unapologetically money.

You should take time out of your day to read this because: . (1) Neil is rare as he is a great investor first who just so happens to do venture .(2) He’s a VC who hasn’t done a million podcasts and interviews .(3) @JeremySternLA elevates the craft of writing great profiles.

There is so much truth to the idea that “winners win” — with such significant societal implications — that it’s probably good we don’t think about it too much.

My theory that the timeline will become so filled with slop that everyone will just log off forever is looking very good right now.

The build in public idea was downstream of technological stagnation, when everyone was starting the same company that was exclusively a question of execution, now it’s an era of secrets, which you must hoard and protect like a goblin.

F1 is maximally aristocratic in that it’s 20 Monaco racing heirs holding events for the rich in monarchies/dictatorships, and maximally sociopathic in that it ruthlessly pits two guys against one another while forcing them to pretend they are teammates. To be clear, I’m a fan.

Syllabus for a creative nonfiction course DFW taught in 1997: “Rather than aspiring to language as a transparent window through which objectively to view the world, writers of creative nonfiction create a rather dirty lens.”

Justin is incredibly underrated both as a founder and an investor, I’m lucky to be a customer and a friend.
