Meta VC Parody

@BrianBrackeen @ArlanWasHere @jpmorgan @Techstars “Backstage has found itself in a “purgatory kind of position” because some investors feel it already has all the support it needs” Framing seems odd. Like LPs are underwriting this as philanthropy instead of as an investment

I don’t care for this TechCrunch framing vs @ArlanWasHere ‘s own words but ask yourself this: Where would firms like Lightship & Backstage be if @jpmorgan would have invested in us as opposed to @Techstars , (who does not have a diversity mandate.) techcrunch.com/2022/06/26/bac…

@DavidGiglioCA @BNNBreaking Actually what Austin is talking about is how the military will treat their service members who are based on Federal land and are subject to the Military Code of Uniform Justice and Federal Law.

@BNNBreaking This is not constitutional and completely unacceptable rhetoric coming from the federal agency charged with defending the US and the rule of law. “Nullification means insurrection and war; and the other states have a right to put it down.” - Andrew Jackson

@agarwal Kinda lazy to attack an entire class of people. I know scores of VCs who live in SF, care deeply, give $ and act to improve it. Rather than label an entire group of people why not call out individuals or blame it on nimbys 99.99% of whom are not VCs.

VC: no one does anything to fix SF Me: oh hey I started a non profit to fix SF VC: techies don't get politics Me: wanna help me learn? VC: 🦗

I for one think the use of the word “rad” makes this post so awkward that it isn’t a humble brag anymore. Just a cry for help.

@justinkan Seems like this is creating an A/B test where Cal can see how different loosening regimes impact the direction of the pandemic.

What is the point of keeping the Bay Area locked down until June? What are we going to get in another month? Unless we are willing to lockdown until there is a vaccine (18 months), it seems to me that we are continuing to put economic hardship on people for nothing...

@lpolovets Facebook groups?

What platforms do people like for online communities? I'm looking for a product that lets people discuss specific topics, ask each other ?s, search old chats, etc. Email doesn't have enough features; Slack is good but $100/member/yr for a casual community of 100s feels too steep.

@KTmBoyle @sriramk @micsolana If the hypothesis that these are higher dimensional beings projecting a 3D version of themselves to make contact, research or interact with us, how could we create 2-way communication or at least validate the hypothesis?

obsessed with ~ intellectual ~ twitter's explosive observation that the UFOs are *clearly* just blurry planes. can you believe that didn't occur to several decades worth of professional pilots, military technicians, navy officers, or pentagon intelligence? wild!

If you parody parody are you being serious? What do you think @vcstarterkit

I say VENTURE. You say:
