There is disproportionate alpha in finding every 20-something year old grinder tucked away in random corners of the world and just arming them with the capital and resources they need to take a meaningful shot on goal

Our team's decision to move to Miami has nothing to do with following investors and everything to do with being in the same timezone as a huge talent pool in Latin America. Turns out Spanish fluency as a founder is a massive competitive advantage.

It’s easy to dismiss the out-of-network teenagers who pop into your Twitter DMs asking for advice, intros, or just sharing excitement for what they’re building. It’s even easier to forget that careers in this industry are long, and people rarely forget how you treat them.

Working theory: most younger employees prefer synchronous collaboration to async.
Async makes sense if you have a family, kids, or are further along in your career.
But the moments where I learned the most as an intern didn't occur via Slack message.

When I visited SF during the pandemic,
@ricburton
opened up his home to me. We hung out on his front lawn, drank some coffee, and had a long chat. He made SF feel like home before I could call it that, and our conversation that afternoon is the reason I moved here.
I cannot change other people but I can do my best to help the new wave of kids.
If you are coming to the Bay Area to explore on a budget, DM me. Any time. Night or day.
If I can host you, I will. If I cannot, I will find you a place to stay.
If you get stuck, we will fix it.
