Chris Stallman

@TurnerNovak He got ragged on for being “old” and getting paid but what a great success story: kicked off the HS team for bad grades, hustled to find a JUCO program, then UAB, then UM. Always thanks his teammates, coaches, and fans in every interview. Now a national champ. Go blue! 〽️

Most interesting line in this interview on the state of college basketball: "They were super genuine from day one. They never spoke to me about money. That's what everybody was throwing around in my face the entire time. And that doesn't move the majority of players nowadays."

Love this video but the crowd pop was even more pronounced in-person. From the quietest to loudest moment of the night in the span of 2 seconds. Incredible moment to see live. 〽️

@TheFundCFO Good post. One small nuance is that even European waterfalls often permit earlier tax distributions to the GP (subject to clawback), so that the GP isn't left unable to pay imputed tax on carry they haven't actually received yet.

Waterfalls are simple in theory, harder in practice. $100M fund → $250M exit: • $100M back to LPs • $150M profit • ~$30M carry The real question: When does that actually happen? That’s where modeling matters (DPI timing, carry timing, distributions) thefundcfo.substack.com/p/322-venture-… #venturecapital #vc #fundfinance

@BadSportsRefs Yet they call these in my 9yo son's rec league 🤦‍♂️

Uncalled travels are getting more and more shameless in all forms of basketball, they might as well scrap the rule

@NayrhitB @SusquehannaVC @LightspeedIndia @BCapitalGroup @beenextVC @sparrowcapvc @2point2club deck

The exact pitch deck that helped us raise a $9M Seed Round copy whatever you want VCs that invested: → @SusquehannaVC (led) → @LightspeedIndia → @BCapitalGroup → Seaborne Capital → @beenextVC → @sparrowcapvc → @2point2club joined. fundraising is hard enough without guessing what investors want to see. so - I'm making our deck public. if you're raising right now, take it and make it yours. Reply 'deck' + follow (so I can DM it over)

@jasonlk Guessing you wound up in common in the acquirer (behind a bunch of pfd) and he aggressively marked to the PPS on the last-round pfd (or somewhat close to it)?

So at the end of the year I wrote an investment down to $0, my biggest write-off so far. $4m to $0. But my co-investor? He marked up his investment. From about $15m to $30m. How is this possible? Well the start-up was "acquired" for stock. You could I guess argue the combined company could be worth $100B+ some day. But I couldn't argue it. That VC used that mark-up to help raise their next fund. They needed the mark-up. He also voted for the deal, even though it in practice was a zero, to get that paper mark-up. Incentives.

@DeveloperHarris Fun fact: the painting directly across from the Mona Lisa is Les Noces de Cana (“The Wedding at Cana”), depicting the event from which my wife is named.

the coronation of Napoleon is directly behind the mona lisa and infinitely cooler

@JJWatt My son dressed as Nerds Gummy Clusters (why not, right?!). Every time he got some tonight, I said “that’s cannibalism!” #dadjoke

Emptied the clip.

@aphysicist Bad day to be a fan of deindustrialization 😂

proud to announce Atomic Industries has raised a $25M Series A led by MaC Venture Capital and DTX Ventures, with participation from the University of Michigan, S&A, Calm Ventures, Blackwing, Narya, and others, to build America's next generation industrial base.

@aphysicist Have had this tweet in my bookmarks for 5+ months for a reason x.com/aphysicist/sta…

i would wager any dollar amount that over 90% of americans would want their taxes invested back into manufacturing. it's one of the only sound proven infrastructure investments the govt could make with our money.

@itsAntWright These deals tend to feel too cheap halfway through. This one has the distinct characteristic of feeling too cheap *now*

Do the fans like this?

@sbell021 Put that into short-term treasuries, and that's about 10 days' worth of interest

@hrosenblume Good work, Hunter! 💪 Also, "chips on shoulders put chips in pockets." - @wolfejosh

I remember every investor that passed because we sell to schools. Now we’re sitting on $50M+ in contracts and winning 1 in 3 deals. The lesson here is that if you build something people really need, and they have a choice, they will buy it.

@DE_Gifford I live in the Detroit area. There’s a light in front of the local elementary school that cars literally run on red every single time it changes. Police are posted 0.1 mile away every morning looking for speeders but I’ve never seen a red light runner ticketed. Not once. 🤦‍♂️

Michigan does not allow red light ticket cameras so the rule of thumb is to allow 5 to 10 seconds before proceeding on green because of all the cars that run red lights without consequence. Some say that ticket cams will cause more accidents. So does running a red light.

Detroiters care deeply about reindustrialization, and it’s inspiring to see that movement spread thanks to the team at @reindsummit

Can't tell you how many people I host in our Detroit office (about 1/5 mile east of where @jason took this photo) that are truly blown away when they look out our windows & see how *close* Canada is. For us Detroiters, US-Canada relations feel...intimate.

@Jason @ShinolaHotel (All near you) Grab a... - Coffee at Madcap - Pastry at Cannelle - Short rib burger at Olin - Cocktails at Candy Bar or Monarch Club (enjoy the rooftop view) If you have some time... - Detroit Institute of Arts - Motown Museum - Check out art deco architecture around downtown

The @ShinolaHotel in Detroit is exceptional!

@hrosenblume Your AMRR is off the charts 📈

Running a school lunch startup is crazy. Its barely 10am and I just sold 216,000 muffins on Zoom

@br0hith Oof 🥴

@ctstallman 2025: 🫠

hotels in SF are so expensive wtf
