There's never a bad venue for the Masters, but I have to admit, I get a little extra pumped when it's at Augusta National

@mouthofmorrison It's a really important part of building a technically complex product. VCs try to interpret the complexity, what milestones are relevant, what milestones are irrelevant...building momentum by publically sharing the steps you value is a great way to bring the market along

Now Iโ€™m not so sure. Sense of momentum and narrative shaping are how you create value for *investors* before youโ€™ve reached the point of funding your business with customers. Capital is a weapon and knowing how to attract it is just as important as knowing how to deploy it.

One thing Iโ€™m learning from watching the top fundraising space startups is that they create a sense of momentum through lots of small milestones. As I watch them check off boxes (first satellite ready, fist launch, first contact, etc.) I canโ€™t help but think Iโ€™m missing the point

This brainrot in the LP community is part of the reason why there is sparingly little alpha in venture. If you can describe where you have 'access' it's already too late to capture outlier upside in that pool. Have a unique point of view on the world, pursue it aggressively.

Today Collaborative Fund is leading a $575M Series G in WHOOP, our largest investment ever. This is the cover letter I attached to our term sheet:

Will Ahmed@willahmed

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATIONย  I am pleased to announce that weโ€™ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round.ย  But it also represents our push into broader health.ย  In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. Iโ€™ve been building this company for 14 years and Iโ€™ve never been more excited for the future.

There is no greater joy in my life than absolutely launching my children into a couch.
Adam Lane Smith | The Attachment Specialist@AdamLaneSmith

New research indicates that fathers build bonds best with their children (and craft secure attachment in them) by "destablizing the child" in a "safe environment. Fathers in the study had a unique ability to make their children laugh and therefore create more perceived safety for the child which led to stronger attachment. Mothers made children feel safe too, usually with repetition and soothing, but the laughing and playing did not make the children as attached as it did when fathers performed it. Several things jump out from this at me: First, a father who is relaxed enough to laugh and play indicates a safe environment. Fathers are biologically the providers of safety, so if dad is relaxed, the world must truly be safe. Children may be picking up on this. Second, being worthy of a father's time and attention is a huge marker for kids. A father's attention may actually mean more in many cases, as we've seen in other studies. The bond with mom is equally as important, but sometimes the bond with mom is taken for granted, where the bond with dad is taken as remarkable due to perceived other demands on his time. What this means: Dads, you've got to be playing with your kids. As silly and disruptive as possible. They need this from you. It's one of the strongest ways they can bond to you.

RE: Denver International Airport being shut down. I just wanted to point out how rare it is for a major airport (think: critical infrastructure) to be shut down entirely in an emergency/unplanned electrical outage, because they're intentionally engineered with significant redundancy/back-up systems to protect against exactly that happening. It's not like blowing a fuse at your house.

It's called Le Bernardin. Eric Ripert is the chef there, and this is a dish from that restaurant. It's a yellowfin tuna carpaccio. It's a really thin slice of French baguette with a really thin slight of foie gras on top of that โ€ฆ So that's a fun one that the club worked with me on as well. They went up to the restaurant and worked with the chefs, and made sure; that they obviously wanted to get it right for the night, so that's really cool.โ€ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ด๐˜†๐˜‚ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐— ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป โ€œIt's an amazing honor to be able to host it, but at the same time, I want everyone to enjoy it.

We're starting off with a 2015 Salon Brut champagne. And then followed by a 2022. Domaine Leflaive Batard Montrachet. It's the first-ever white wine that I actually liked ... And then for the red wine we're receiving a 1990 Chateau Lafite Rothschild from Pauillac in Bordeaux. That is the wine that I drank the night that I won the Masters, so obviously brings back some great memories. Shane Lowry had a little bit to do with getting that wine, so I want to shout him out for that, too ... To finish off, we're going with a 1989 Chateau D'Yquem dessert wine from Sauternes in Bordeaux, as well. Obviously '89, my birth year, and I think every great meal deserved to be finished off with Chateau D'Yquem. It is like liquid gold. I wanted to be really intentional with the wines. It's something that I'm really into and passionate about and started to collect wine, probably over the past decade."
