A redditor shares their 50 brutally honest takeaways about venture capital:. 1. There are not enough good companies out there to justify the amount of venture funds in existence. 2. It used to be a requirement for VCs to have company building experience, but that has gone away

Nate and Gross have probably become billionaires with this one move. This is an insane story.

🧵 The wild story of NFDG: How two Silicon Valley legends built a $1.1B fund, 4X'd it in 2 years, then abandoned it all for Meta this week. Nat Friedman (ex-GitHub CEO) + Daniel Gross (ex-YC partner) launched NFDG in 2023 with $1.1B focused on AI investments. Their crown jewel?

India has probably never had such an amazing opportunity to be the biggest Asian economic superpower. It is a perfect ally to the US. It has great relationships with most of the world. It has world class talent. It can partner with Silicon Valley on AI. It has skilled workforce.

Let's move Silicon Valley to Miami was one of the biggest flops of the last 5 years. No one talks about it anymore. It's totally irrelevant now.

It's interesting that instead of losing value, Twitter has become a stronger network. Bots continue to evolve but people haven't left the platform. And now many are making a living off the platform. The only platform that also single handedly materially changed the political.

Building companies is a privilege, it’s something you choose to do and get to work on everyday. If you are not into it 100%, there are easier ways to make money. Startups are for bringing your vision to life.

Ignore the noise and continue on your path. In this seemingly chaotic world when everyone is trying to pull your attention, not getting distracted is the ultimate winning strategy. In this perennially online world, there’s something new to distract you every 15 mins. Yesterday.

Happy July 4th everyone. It’s my first July 4th as an American citizen. It took me 4,630 days from arriving in the US to becoming a citizen. There were a lot of steps to get to this point. F-1 -> OPT -> OPT cap gap -> H-1B -> O-1A -> EB-1A -> EAD -> Citizenship. Arrived in the

America, the land of opportunity. Before moving to the US, I lived in Germany and the UK. I didn't feel I belonged there, but when I moved to the US, it felt like I was finally home. There's no other country in the world where a random dude from Ghaziabad (India) who ran a.

holding a big tech job has increasingly become riskier. Microsoft announced 9,000 more layoffs and 830 are already out in WA. engineers who were making $500k will not be able to find similar paying jobs again. the world is being rearchitected now and the ones with high agency.

Hans Zimmer finally did music for an Indian movie - Ramayana. Ramayana is the most popular Hindu mythologies and this is the first movie ever filmed for IMAX. Even in their Youtube trailer, they say - it's best to listen with headphones on. DNEG (the producer's company) did

I didn't see anyone complaining about the increase in QSBS limit ($10M->$15M) and the decrease in time to exercise it. Now, QSBS can be taken starting 3 years:.3 years -> 50%.4 years -> 75%.5 years -> 100% (as before). And the max amount increases from $10M to $15M. Applicable.

soham dropped the ball here; he should have learned from The Bling Ring, just own it and exaggerate it. he could have easily been the poster child. he was so sus on the call, he'll be forgotten pretty quickly.

asking questions to genuinely learn something new is the best way to make friends. many people in Silicon Valley respond positively to a genuinely curious person wanting to build something, asking specific questions, and making progress. even if the company doesn't end up being.

If Soham starts a company, I'm pretty sure there's some VC who will lead a round in his startup.
