Burn rate = risk. So of course, this is true. These are the highest burn rates in history of VC. Simple fact. x.com/i/trending/202…

HX-2s ready to go out for delivery. This is the @HelsingAI factory output of half a week.

Honestly, Ben Affleck actually knowing AI and the landscape caught me off guard, but as a writer, makes sense. Great takes across the board.

🚀 Today, we're publishing our open letter to European founders & announcing €500M to fuel the next wave of builders in Europe. There’s been a lot of negativity about Europe’s tech ecosystem lately. But while challenges exist, Europe remains the world’s largest common market—and together, we have the opportunity to build one of the most exciting tech hubs globally. We need a pro-innovation, pro-technology mindset. We need optimists, not pessimists; builders, not bureaucrats; collaboration, not division. A huge thank you to our LPs for their continued trust in us, our co-investors, ecosystem partners, and of course the entire Cherry team. And most of all, thank you to all our Cherry Ventures founders, it's a privilege to be working together in this industry — and we’re just getting started. LFG, Europe! 🇪🇺🚀 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

This video is incredible. Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

AI excitement or bust? Zuck dreams about AI #supremacy (cringy!). Investors worry about Infra capex. As long as AI has not created more value, we will be faced with volatility. @Jasamaze and I discuss the value gap between hope and reality in THE EDGE podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Working for a startup means taking risk: crazy work hours, high uncertainty, often lower salaries. In return you get to create the future, build something new and take responsibility. Until now, Germany has made it extremely cumbersome for companies to grant stock options to their employees and have them participate in the value creation they're part of. It makes me so happy to see that Germany will introduce a new employee stock option regime effective from Jan, 1st, 2024, significantly improving the current situation. Four years of hard work are bearing fruit! Huge congrats to my friend @miele who was instrumental in pushing this through. And a big thank you to @c_lindner, @verenahubertz and many others that have been fighting on our side! Tomorrow will be a great day for founders, a great day for builders and a great day for Germany! bundestag.de/dokumente/text… @StartupVerband @CherryVentures

You can frequently read articles referencing VC "dry powder" and inferring that these large dollar amounts are "burning a hole" in someone's pocket & will imminently find their way to the market. I totally understand the assumption, but things don't really work this way. [cont]

Here’s a first sneak peek of our new brand! 👀 Our whole team has put in a tremendous effort on this project for the last couple of months, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you. Stay tuned on Thursday for the big reveal.🧡
