This was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to write. It's the story of how I torched my net worth by 90% (2x). It's the story of how I chased after money, status, and glory. It's the story of how I finally found freedom + redemption in Jesus. https://t.co/r1VPzRabGx

I am constantly in awe of my brother’s determination and resilience to make the impossible happen. Today, especially so 🤍

Love this. Even better quote in this clip is @davidsenra quoting Henry Ford who said “if I ever want to sabotage my competition, I would fill their ranks with experts. Experts tend to know so much and they’re so convinced that they are right that they get no work done.”

Rocket scientists rebooted space. Now they want to fix energy. They say “if we can put a 40MW turbopump in a rocket, we can damn well fit a 2MW generator in a shipping container.” Here's my piece on Critical, a team rethinking how we build power plants from first principles.

My favorite thing is where he talks so clearly about how Lulu has lost its muse: the woman who innovates on culture, not follows it. You can think of many other formerly beloved companies that also lost their muses over time: Nike, Starbucks, Pizza Hut, etc. The loss of muse

The Lulu brand nosedive has been a random hobbyhorse of mine for the last 3-4 years, nice to see it finally become mainstream and consensus

A good day to go back and listen to this

I have a strong feeling that whenever the dust settles from this capital cycle, founders/GPs/LPs will have renewed appreciation for the role of the traditional VC model: few deals/year, high ownership, high engagement.

Was riffing about this with a friend today - this still might be the best VC podcast ever. Most podcasts with rare guests tend to be capstone episodes where someone breaks their silence to reflect on their work. Those are still super interesting, but just a different flavor

It's the honor of a lifetime to work with founders like Saif who are reinventing an important industry. We're just getting started and tons of exciting news to share in the coming weeks!

Directionally related. I think we either end this era with highly intelligent machines (the goal from the beginning when it was called cybernetics) or it’s a dormant dream for a long time. Either way, the end of this era awaits and we’ll have a new one after.

Excited to announce that I've raised $3 Million to build @supermemoryai, the best memory for LLMs and agents. I turned 20 last month Memory is one of the hardest challenges in AI right now. I realized this when building the first version of supermemory, which was merely a

Huge opportunity to help shape what is already becoming a category-defining company.

It’s poetic that this 80-90 year mega cycle (saeculum) of Silicon Valley will start and end with the semiconductor at the center. It’s hard to predict how it will go and its ultimate impact of human society, but the climax will be fascinating as will its aftermath.

The American cheeseburger is one of the greatest contributions to culinary excellence, and it’s only snobbery that prevents people from admitting this.

I was part of the resistance even in 2021 when even nice New York restaurants were doing this nonsense. No QR codes ever.

People will tolerate any level of chronic pain to avoid acute pain. Marc Andreessen says most would rather lose slowly than have the hard conversation to stop the bleeding. Your job as a leader is to create a culture that surfaces ugly truths to treat problems before they

Important read - Grant put a lot of work into this and it’s a great lay of the land for one of the most important areas of technology right now.

Was talking with a founder about whether we're in a bubble: early-stage is frothier than ever, while growth still feels relatively bifurcated into haves and have-nots because of the dynamic in the tweet above. Our synthesis was no and there's still a lot of room to still build
