Less than a week out from Margin Call with @yrechtman and @Slow! We’re well over 2x capacity in interest, so I’m sensing there might be a few more of these in the cards If we didn’t get you into this one, we’ll do our best to get you at the next!

Imagine being the HSBC analyst that got asked to midwit meme the AI wave… Don’t need a spreadsheet to know the contracted commitments don’t close But what they DO represent is a long term demand signal to shape the market around! Far more important
🦔HSBC built a model to figure out if OpenAI can actually pay for all the compute it's contracted. The answer is no. OpenAI has committed to $250 billion in cloud compute from Microsoft and $38 billion from Amazon, bringing contracted compute to 36 gigawatts. Based on total deal

Good thread which underscores why effectively managing backlog is so important in Hard Tech
As a founder, I used to think that SaaS revenue was overrated. Why did VCs care so much about that? Especially when it didn't make sense per the business More >>

The right valuation is the one that lets you raise your next round comfortably Don’t read too much into them early
I dont think most early stage founders realize just how nonsense and low signal valuations can be. I’ve heard many founders say “well this company proved the market is huge — they’re worth $X Billion” and meanwhile, the company’s revenue is single digit millions.
