My conversation with @GrahamCWeaver, the founder of Alpine Investors. Graham built this large private equity firm by buying companies and handing them over to ~27-year-old CEOs. He tells the entire story of the firm here. Enjoy!. Timestamps.0:00 Intro.0:37 Alpine's Three North

A lot of founders reach out and ask - is @ycombinator worth it?. 363 days now from our W23 demo day my confident answer is - yes, it is. In my opinion YC has the best IP in the world on early stage company building. There is no institution that has played a role in helping

Enabled Tesla’s latest Full Self-Driving today. Man, it’s so smooth and confident. Feels very human. Probably smoother than me driving. These imitation models appear to be delivering the goods. With this new approach, data advantage even more critical. Tesla’s vehicle scale.

Sad to hear of Daniel Kahneman’s passing. Thinking, Fast and Slow was one of the most impactful books in my life when it came out. It helped me to understand the machinery of my brain better so I could notice and adjust for its tricks. I rely on his insights every week. I’m.

A lot of startup advice comes from successful companies looking back on decisions they made that later surfaced issues. “I wish we’d done [x] earlier.”. It’s a trap. Many things will break or become screaming problems later that you shouldn’t have addressed at the time.

Many customers say working with Vooma is one of the best experiences they’ve had with a tech vendor. A big reason is that is that they work directly with our engineers. We keep a high technical bar in our engineering org, but we require more than that. Our engineers work on.

Heard from a great investor:. You're making excuses if you distinguish between 'uncontrollable' vs 'controllable' churn. If 'the company got acquired' or 'they went out of business', maybe it's not a failing of product or service, but it is a failing of strategy.

Do 'the thing'. Things that are not 'the thing':. - Planning to do the thing.- Building a process for doing the thing.- Getting advice about how to do the thing.- Scheduling to do the thing. When you're starting out, just do the thing. You can refine and optimize later.

After 8 years in the US I finally got my green card! 🇺🇸. There’s relief in knowing I can stay and work here permanently. My wife and son are American. Our business is here. Every international will know the latent stress of never knowing if you might be cutoff from the life
