Contrasting this great social #impinv mirage piece by @amanda_levinson & @nfreidus ( https://t.co/IQIYmdAXxG) to @sequoia's LP memo re its $200MM write-down of #FTX (it was *only* 2% of that specific fund) & seeing a direct connection. Just me?

It’s time for funders to get real about what social entrepreneurs need to succeed.

Elon: “I am really working the absolute most amount that I can work from morning to night, 7 days a week.” Huh. I think he’s solved the underpaid nonprofit executive problem—let nonprofit leaders work multiple CEO jobs at once & get paid for all of them.

Some math: Sequoia invested $800MM into Musk’s Twitter acquisition & $200MM into FTX, before marking it down to $0. Musk says Twitter bankruptcy is possible. $1bn could evaporate. I thought only governments & nonprofits were this inefficient w/ $$$. @oscarthinks
Sequoia Capital marks down its FTX investment to $0

Over the moon about the combination of @commonfutureco + @affordcredit. @sandhyanakhasi & @ryglasgo are two of the most incredible and sincere leaders I’ve ever encountered. Honored to be able to call them and the rest of the @affordcredit team colleagues!

Turning to our latest magazine issue, @RDFoxworth analyzes how nonprofit institutions can become economic entities that redistribute power to communities, rather than concentrating power & charity: https://t.co/uzFA9Dt4fY

BIPOC-led nonprofits can build economic power and wealth for and with their communities, rather than relying upon the largesse of philanthropy—providing a pathway to ownership for all.

Philanthropy has long played a critical role in America. But what is our role moving forward? How can philanthropy drive more fundamental and lasting change? I’ll join @fordreedy, @RDFoxworth and @janewales explore these questions and more at the #AspenIdeas Festival today.

I'm excited to (finally!) announce the combination of @commonfutureco and Uncharted. I'm awestruck by the collective dedication, talent, humility, and creativity of the "new" Common Future. Kudos to my friend @BanksBenitez for his tireless, courageous, and inspired leadership.

I'm fortunate to get to work with amazing humans like @jleewagner, who works diligently to create and reinforce a culture at @commonfutureco that priorities the needs of folks within our organization:

I recognize the irony that as I sit here writing this, my own sense of well-being feels pretty low. I am exhausted. Many of us are.
