Retro Albums are awesome - have you tried them, @ftnabeelah? Share them publicly or privately via link or WR code, album posts are auto-organized chronologically when different friends add photos, and they allows you to recap to IG or group chats with photo collage or video slideshow formats.

2025 was a massive year for Figma and Q4 was our best quarter yet: → accelerated Q4 revenue growth to 40% YoY → Q4 net dollar retention rate up 5% from Q3 for $10k+ customers → adjusted free cash flow margin for Q4 of 13% → ended 2025 with $1.7B cash and investments AI offers a new creative starting point. Design is where the work connects and how you push to something great. We want Figma to be the place where it all comes together. Big year ahead!

This is my second conversation with @JoshuaKushner. Josh started Thrive in 2011 and the firm now manages ~$50 billion. We cover the iconic investments that defined it: Instagram, Stripe, GitHub, and spend a lot of time on OpenAI. He explains how Thrive thinks about investing today and the three categories they're currently focused on. Josh also talks about how he built the firm – why they keep the team so small, why concentration is core to what they do, and what he's learned from A24 about enabling artists to create their best work. Throughout the conversation, Josh shares the personal stories that shaped him, from his grandmother surviving the Holocaust to lessons from Stan Druckenmiller and Jon Winkelried at formative moments in Thrive's history. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/episode/7nRM1E…

In awe of all that @JoshuaKushner has achieved in Thrive. Such an insanely talented team with the vision, the ambition, and the patience to build the future they want to see. And the crazy thing is, they’re just getting started.
Joshua Kushner@JoshuaKushner

We are pleased to announce the close of Thrive X. Exceeding $10 billion, Thrive X comprises $1 billion designated for early-stage investments and $9 billion designated for growth-stage investments. We do not view this as a milestone, but as a commitment to the long work ahead. We view Thrive as a company. Our product is partnership - the willingness to commit deeply to a small number of founders, and to stand with them through momentum and adversity. This is the discipline we bring to our work, and the responsibility we accept when founders partner with Thrive. We do not hedge. Concentration demands loyalty to the founders and missions we back. In this moment, exposure alone is not a strategy. Judgment without commitment is not enough. Advantage will accrue to those who choose deliberately, commit deeply, and endure through difficult moments. Thrive was founded to be an enabling technology for the world we want to see. We are deeply aware that we are not the main character. The founders that we are fortunate enough to partner with are the artists. Our role is to help create the conditions where great work can come to life. We take a long view grounded in the belief that category-defining companies tend to create structural compounding advantages over long arcs. This fund reflects the continuity of our approach and the ways our work has deepened alongside the founders we support. We are grateful for the trust our Limited Partners place in us, and for the opportunity to work alongside those who are building with purpose, integrity, and courage. thrivecap.com/thrive-x

Imagine a corner of the internet where it’s just humans…and all of those humans are your friends…and all of those friends still post real photos…because they want to share their lives …and stay close to yours
Justin McDaniel@jcmcd50

@vanschneider I think there will have to be a new type of social networking platform to arise out of it. Maybe it’s @retrodotapp or something else, but as the dead internet looms larger, people will retreat into silos where they know their community is real people

ads were rarely a moral discussion for me personally. you just need to look at incentives. e.g. once ads exist, the company is permanently at war with itself. the ads team optimizes for impressions, engagement, & monetization. the product team optimizes for user value. you’ve bifurcated the company in some ways. you can see this end state everywhere. google search drowned in sponsored sludge. facebook optimizing for engagement loops that just happen to maximize ad yield. once revenue is downstream of attention, the product degrades into whatever extracts the most of it. show me the incentives & i’ll show you the outcome.

subscription revenue is sooo much morally superior and aligned than ad revenue, which is why x dot com is so healthy and better than old twitter

The most notable was when he was the lead iOS developer that built Instagram Stories. We discussed: • Stories working with Mike Krieger (cofounder of IG) • How IG felt like it was dying and building IG Stories • Getting 1 promo per half to Staff • The power of small teams • Starting Retro (to combat doom scrolling) • Failing his first FB interview • Examples of the most talented people he's ever worked with Where to watch: • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5LXehF… • YouTube: youtu.be/gpVETZnY9Y0 • Apple: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the… • Transcript: developing.dev/p/instagram-pr…
