Off to blue-er skies. Join me on Bluesky:

Great conversation with @kcline6 of @VentureFizz , my backstory and best advice for folks on startup storytelling, relationships, and breaking into VC. Pretty much off Twitter now, please join me over on Bluesky, where I'm also @miketrap.

The value of accounting standards is not that they get you closer to the truth, just that they enable comparison by a consistent standard. Always avoid confusing these ideas.

OK, folks. Looks like Threads wins. Join me there:

I was invited to request an invitation today. Really made me feel special.

My campground review on @thedyrt: Best Loop at MSSF

Getting more and more AI-generated inbound fundraising pitches. Getting better and better at spotting it, and more and more cynical about the need to respond to anyone. Venture was and remains a relationship business. Community is the new content.

“AI will bring the superpowers of small companies to big companies, where for the last cycle the inverse was true.” @htaneja Thoughtful man. #nycsummit

Twitter is just a shitshow right now. Sorry. "X" 🤮. Meanwhile Mastodon is a ghost town, Bluesky is a freakshow, Warpcast is a nerdfest, and Threads fixes the current problem by creating the next one. Hit me up on Telegram if you need me.

Summer is open.

Someone younger and better looking than you is out there, right now, getting ready to mow your lawn with an architecture built to take business advantage of the LLM revolution. Figure out what they’re going to do, and do it first.

My thoughts on what it takes to be a great tech startup CEO, FWIW:
