Most of the holiday gifts at our house purchased by teenagers came from @TikTokShopUSA - it is the @QVC of GenZ!

I'm excited to introduce Distilled Intelligence – our 3-day summit for founders, investors & tech leaders, hosted at a stunning, 500-acre resort (3 hours from NYC) on October 14–16. The best part: We’re selecting 100 founders to attend for FREE. We’ll cover your hotel rooms, all your meals, and the entry price. All you have to do is get yourself there. This is not your typical summit: • Half the founders will pitch, half will network – with $1M in investment up for grabs • We’re over-indexing on connection: curated forums, dinners, and 1:1 introductions • It’ll be fun too … we’ll have pickleball, golf, tennis, and a bunch of other activities • And we’ve invited legendary founders (AOL, Techstars, Venmo, and more) to mentor the next generation We’re proud to be hosting this with our friends at @Fortifyvc and @LoudounBiz at the beautiful Landsdowne Resort in Leesburg, VA - just three hours from New York City. This is the room you want to be in this fall. See you there!

On October 11th, 2011, Blake Hall pitched TroopSwap at Distilled Intelligence 1.0. From a military-focused deals site, it evolved into @IDme by solving identity verification for broader groups. Today, @IDme is a $2B company, partnering with governments and brands to protect 120M Americans' identities. Investors, join us at DI 3.0 to identify rising ventures.

Distilled Intelligence brings together 100 founders and hundreds of investors this October in Virginia. Three private pickleball courts at Lansdowne Resort mean deals can move from conference rooms to courts. Skip the first call, and challenge that investor to doubles instead. The best part? We cover attendance costs for founders: ticket, hotel, food, and even pickleball paddles ;)

We're incredibly excited to announce Distilled Intelligence 3.0, the $1,000,000 pitch competition for Pre-Seed to Series A startups. We'll be welcoming 100 incredible founders and hundreds of investors at the Lansdowne Resort from October 13th to 16th. 🧵

We had a blast last week working alongside our portfolio company, Somble (@on_somble), to lend a hand in crafting their strategy for the upcoming year. Our conviction about Somble’s success is deeper than ever. 🚀

The “find it” is crazy to me — I respect the message you’re trying to share (be scrappy, resourceful, etc) but I firmly believe that founders should spend as little time as possible fundraising and as much time as possible building. It should be the job of investors to make that as simple as possible.

@vsodera we office at VentureX near Tysons Corner in N. Virginia - I’m happy to grab you a day pass/office space, and I could use a few @Superhuman pro tips as a newbie

Will be in the DC / VA / MD area early next week. Any recommended places to do work from (including coffee shops, hotel lobbies, etc)?

@cag123 @ArlanWasHere @Backstage_Cap @paulsingh @kristinluck @sechrest Ditto @cag123 - missing you - coffee soon.

@ArlanWasHere @Backstage_Cap @paulsingh @perrelli @kristinluck @sechrest are four of the smartest and nicest people I’ve been lucky to know.

Which investors, funds, or companies should I work with on a moonshot idea I have for @Backstage_Cap? They can be emerging or juggernauts, impact-driven or not. Who are the kindest, most creative people to collaborate with, in your experience?

Congratulations to the @Introhive team on closing the $100M Series C! It has been an honor to serve on the BOD for the last 10 years via @fortifyvc google.com/amp/s/ventureb…

Some brands withstood the music market tidal waves and tests of time, will yours? @billboard @RollingStone @napster

.@AOL was it for music back in 1999 but notably absent were @Google @Amazon #Apple & others @napster

Hoping to experience what the Roman Coliseum felt like as a spectator or a gladiator? Perhaps @magicleap experiences will bring us there ...

Although the original @napster never had the chance to obtain revenues, sales and cash flow must come from somewhere
