@tobi People who have been paying attention know about this unfortunate reality Tobi. Very disturbing stuff.

This should cause a lot more questions in Canada. My sense is that almost no one knows about this here?

The @UofT just posted a job opening for a tenure-stream professor of Computational Biology and Data Science no white men allowed "Selection will be limited to candidates who identify as members of one or more of the four federally-designated groups: women and gender minorities (those who identify as women, trans, nonbinary, Two-Spirit, and gender fluid, based on the gender identity that best describes applicants at the current time), racialized persons/visible minorities, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities."

@andrewdsouza @boardyai Hell ya man!

Roughly 10% of active fundraising is happening right now through @boardyai. Two weeks ago, we launched a program to help 100 founders raise their round before the end of the year. Since then, 5,000 founders raising $16B signed up, along with 600 investors managing over $1T in capital. As a CEO, your job is to create demand for your shares. Doesn't matter if you're @elonmusk or if it's your first time - you'll take all the help you can get. Most founders only raise 2-3 times in their lives, and it can make or break the trajectory of your company. But right now, investors are chasing the same 50-100 founders, while thousands of founders with incredible businesses and metrics go overlooked simply because they don't fit Silicon Valley's pattern. Boardy's fixing this by connecting great founders with investors based on aligned thesis, stage and merit. Thanks for having me @johncoogan, @jordihays, and the @tbpn team! This time next year, I expect that number to be 90%.

Founders, for the love of God; send investor updates. 1. Leverage them for help with customer intros, hires and fundraises. 2. Use them to create excitement and conversation about you in market. 3. Because these people have trusted you and given you their money. Not doing them is a disservice to your company.

@tobi There’s a weirdly coordinated response to this from the left going on in my algo, almost in lockstep. Zero context as to what milestones are required for @elonmusk to unlock any of this compensation. You noticing the same? @tobi Very strange attack on markets and capitalism

Perfect response

@scottastevenson Crushing it man! Making 🇨🇦 proud.

Never surrender

@fahdananta Excited to continue watching the journey man. What a ride!

I want to share the story behind why I joined Opendoor (It might be a little long. I'm not media trained, so this will be straight from the dome and I'm just going to hit send at the end) The last 4 years I was basically retired. I started a small fund and was having a great time investing. I live a pretty modest life so I never really planned to work again. Over the years so many companies reached out. I met with the execs of large public companies, celebrities and athletes that were starting software companies, and so on. Some I really considered, but always ended up say no. It wasn't about the money, they offered insane amounts but I just liked my simple life. I'd drop my kid at school, bike to the studio space I share with a bunch of my friends, spend the day reading, investing, coding, grab a coffee, and head home. I've always been fascinated by asymmetric risks. Usually I do it from the sidelines like any other retail investor. I've also seen how often consensus is flat out wrong. I was at Shopify as a lowly PM when this short seller report came out in 2017 calling the business a pyramid scheme. It was crazy to reconcile what I was seeing in front my eyes, a company operating at maximum excellence, hypergrowth, etc and everyone else repeating whatever they heard. Turns out they were wrong. I saw this a few times over. Before Shopify, while I was building my first startup, everyone thought we were idiots. These were credible people with serious sounding job titles at hot tech companies. We ended up getting acquired by HubSpot. Turns out they were wrong. When Carvana got decimated, and even today, people love the narrative that it's a fraud. Turns out it's a great business that people just don't understand. I was deeply invested in the business and knew the business was turning around while at the same time the media was publishing fear. Turns out they were wrong. After Robinhood got decimated, same thing, people were unable to consider that the business can change and evolve. I posted an experiment and my P&L on twitter and people DMed me calling me an idiot, over indexed, going to 0, and so on. Not just the anon accounts but real people I know and respect. Turns out they were all wrong. I guess I'm not just fascinated by asymmetric risk but I'm addicted to situations where I think everyone else is wrong. At Opendoor, it's incredible man, I get to actually do the work, not just watch from the sidelines. I get to work with people that are at the top of their craft and fully committed to the mission. So, when the opportunity came up. It was an instant decision. I "un-retired" and am all-in on the biggest bet of my life. We'll see how it works out but you already know where I placed my chips. At the end of the day, none of this shit matters. We just have to ball out, have fun, and pursue excellence. I'm not doing this for the money, I already have more than I can spend in my lifetime. I'm doing this for the love of the game and most importantly, I'm doing this because I think everyone else is wrong.

@WomenReadWomen @fahdananta to your point

A major shareholder of Netflix is Capital Research Global Investors (CRGI). CRGI, worth approximately $3 trillion, also has invested large sums in AbbVie, the makers of "puberty blockers."

@fahdananta Truth 💯

@tobi DEI is alive and well in Canada. Sigh…😓

Sigh

@fahdananta Damn. Congrats man. Now I have to buy the stock 😂💪🏽

Yes this was me, because in life speed is everything. We will improve the clock speed of shipping immediately. I’m mostly focused on the entire Buyer side of the business, how people can buy homes with Opendoor Will always try to respond to all messages, comments, bugs, ideas. Just tag me. Don’t ask me stuff you know I obviously cannot talk about.

Gm, Sep 17, 2025, time to go all in Will share more as we start building. I hate to lose so I’m going to give this every ounce of my energy and focus. In my mind, there are only two possible outcomes: we win or I die. Time to get to work with @nejatian and @shrisha.

@fahdananta We had Princess Ariel at our daughter’s last party. Good times. Enjoy man!

Gm, on hard days, remember, these are the good old days you’ll look back on Especially true if you're a parent of young kids or in pursuit of greatness (or both)

@friedberg Was literally listening to your pod where you ask Elon about the suicide of the west…. Then this happens. Insane.

free speech. but we’ll shoot you. something is deeply broken in the west. if we don’t fix it, eventually everyone could be ushered at gunpoint to sign the proclamations of the Truth Ministers.

Oh Canada 🤡🇨🇦

@ZubyMusic Hell ya man. I feel this too with little guy. He’s going to be a beast💪🏽💪🏽

Having a son is awesome. I can't wait until he can come to the gym with me. He's already a unit. 😃

@chamath This was only three years ago lol Jesus.

The biggest differences between Republicans and Democrats used to be fiscal policy and their perceptions of the first and second amendments. A few years ago, it deviated wildly to individual freedom on one side and top down control on the other.

@nejatian This will probably get memory holed, like Covid.. 😓

I remember when people suggesting this were accused of treason.
