Excited to officially announce the launch of Pax Fund I, a $50M early stage vehicle dedicated to founders transforming the foundational categories of society. 🇺🇸🚀 Wrote a bit about my journey and the thinking behind Pax below:

@VCBrags @xyz_vc

non-shitpost (sry): my buddy who is an exited founder scaled his newco from 0 to $4M ARR last year and on track to triple this year. Who are the best investor to talk to in GovTech that might be interested in chatting?

Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected--be careful Republicans!

Today we unveiled Neo Residency, a new program for startups and high-agency student teams. 🎉 We’re replacing our best-known program, Neo Accelerator, with something even better and more selective. 🧵

Introducing Scout Program. Real capital. A live leaderboard. And a path to running your own fund. scoutprogram.com This will be the most interesting investing program in the industry when all is said & done.

@DTzvetkovsky @texasrunnerDFW @ThoughtCrimes80 @GovofCO Look at California. Where young people pay 10x their neighbor and subsidize the old. It incentivizes people to not sell and hold that tax rate, rent the house, taking inventory off the market. The spirit might be right but the unintended consequences are bad.

thats an unfollow comment taxes should be fixed at the level of the time of purchase that way the purchaser knows what they are signing up for and if the next owner is fine with the current tax level they can make that desision too there is a reason why states are looking into changing laws etc

My dad is 77 and lives on social security. He’s lived in the same house since 1993. It’s been paid off for two decades.Yet he owes $8k in property taxes, or the state of Colorado will take his home. This is criminal. ⁦@GovofCO⁩

1/ We’re thrilled to announce EV3 Venture Fund II, an oversubscribed $61.74M early-stage venture fund dedicated to backing entrepreneurs with generational drive and ambition. We’re tripling down on crypto with bigger checks and deeper involvement. Watch the EV3 Vision Below:

This is absolutely shameful. Agents of a federal agency unnecessarily escalating, and then executing a defenseless citizen whose offense appears to be using his cell phone camera. Every person regardless of political affiliation should be denouncing this.

@CheeseburgerEll @WallStreetApes I would love to find a teenager to mow our lawn or babysit! We post on NextDoor and FB groups and have only found 1 teenager willing to help in the last 7 years of posting. Suggestions of where to post? TikTok?

@WallStreetApes 💯It started with mowing lawns and babysitting, the stuff teenagers used to do. Then the narrative began with lazy Americans didn't want to do those jobs. It was all downhill from there. So glad more people are noticing.

@Politics_Matter @DrakeMallard100 @RadFemme74 @Jerri_M_Green You don’t have the money or friends with that money to understand what favor that can curry? Money changes access. In my America, integrity is still a currency and demanded if one gets the most powerful seat.

@DrakeMallard100 @RadFemme74 @Jerri_M_Green Why? The money isn't going into his pockets.

St. Jude reduced its budget by $150million because the White House blindly cut funding to children’s cancer research. #priorities

@villi The transatlantic spread exists for a reason. European startups exit half as often and at ~60% lower valuations. Only one of the top 20 private companies globally is European. Paying U.S. prices for European risk profile seems optimistic at best. Champagne prices for beer returns

A founder this week was telling me he had been raising in Europe for a month and said he had numerous conversations with a few VCs, all of which were slow and came back with $8-10M pre-money. He said "screw that", bought a ticket to SF, and raised at $20M in a week.

@BLawrence70 @BarryHoski76049 @realspitfire

@BarryHoski76049 @realspitfire Yes they are and yes they are. No real Conservative dresses up in matching costumes and marches around like a bunch of dipshits.

Do all kids relocate their school’s mulch supply into their homes? One shoe at a time.

@immad Baby Frida Electric Nail File! @Nanit and not a gadget but @CoterieBaby pants.

I am having another baby in a few months. What are cool gadgets that have been made in the last 5-10 years that are a must get? (I love baby gadgets)

@evanwch #fakenews that is not supposed to be bustling shops. That is literally the Financial District. No one goes to the financial district on the weekends. People go to the offices on Monday - Friday. 😂 the shops are used by office workers when they commute downtown during the week 🤦🏼‍♀️

Downtown San Francisco on a Saturday afternoon at a beautiful outdoor shopping center should be bustling. But instead…

@pitdesi Mill Valley Market! Chains: Nugget, Molly Stones, or AJ’s Fine Foods.

What is the best individual grocery store in America? I love visiting grocery stores when traveling (particularly internationally)

@thesamparr After being in Singapore, Toyota Alphard’s are *luxury*

Getting a new car for wife. Needs: 1. self driving. i use this for commuting. 2. 3 rows. for kids and family. 3. can't be electric. 4. needs to be at least a 6/10 in terms of cool (for a family car). Looking at (in order): 1. Escalade 2. Yukon 3. Mercedes GLS Thoughts?

@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump Bibb

.@realDonaldTrump is going to win in a landslide. The country should rally around Trump and help him succeed. Trump didn’t expect to win the first time he was elected. As a result, he was totally unprepared. The lack of preparation, the Russia investigation and the ensuing chaos interfered with his ability to execute. Now Trump knows he is going to win. So does everyone else. One of my biggest concerns was whether Trump could build a first class team. The good news is that very capable people that I know are excited to work in the new Trump administration. Trump will be able to start recruiting top talent immediately. Trump will now have time to assemble a first class team. He will be a much better president with the benefit of experience, by surrounding himself with a better team, and without the distractions that interfered with his presidency. The best thing we can do as citizens is support our next president. We need to align the country around our nation’s leader. We have grave global threats we need to deal with and challenging economic times fast approaching. The abortion issue has been a critical one for many Americans. Trump’s message tonight on abortion should be comforting to many of these voters. Trump made clear that he would not challenge the abortion pill and would leave the issue to the states. He also said he approved of abortion in the instance of rape, incest and risk to the mother’s life. Trump came across as strong and reasonable on the important issues. He didn’t respond to Biden’s attacks. Let’s bring the country together. Our divisiveness is killing us. And yes, someone needs to take the Democratic leadership behind the woodshed.
