passing through detroit on my way to meet customers - once the main hub of advanced technology, it is now surpassed by new hubs of innovation on both coasts. just a reminder that technological acceleration is inevitable and adaptiveness is essential, unless you’re selling pizza.

a new T1 just entered the chat.
I'm excited to launch @MarathonMP with my friend @MBGilroy. Marathon will invest in and support founders who are obsessed with the problem they're solving, who understand the customers they're building for better than anyone else, and for whom their company is their life's.
