I wish this was in London!
Bercan@bercankilic
Today, we are bringing shift to San Francisco. Private chefs, completely free. We started with cleaning in New York and Europe. Now it's dinner. One by one, we are making every service more affordable. Comment "shift" below and we'll DM you a priority booking link.

@alexfmac @max_buchan Woof!
That’s worth a GnT and a glass of Petrus.

@JoshOckenden @max_buchan We invested as sequel. Just the start... wait until you see what they announce throughout the rest of the year 👀

Does sovereignty over the data and software we use matter?
Is it possible to build globally relevant companies from London?
We are delighted to be invested in @max_buchan and the team at Valarian.
Congratulations on the $50m Series A 👏
Valarian@ValarianHQ
Almost every organisation on Earth is paying for the privilege to hand over its IP to someone else's AI. We just closed a $50M Series A, led by @NEA, to build the alternative from right here in London: every model, agent and workload sealed in its own enclave, on infrastructure you control, with keys only you hold. You can't be sovereign on someone else's stack. Build your own with Valarian.

Something on ironic (or not) about reading Machiavelli’s the Prince whilst letting @AnthropicAI’s Fable 5 loose in @cursor_ai .

Angel investors who actually respond and check in to weekly updates(even with couple week hiatus)…are not myths but legends.
Keeping moral high one check in at a time.

@Ronanchamberss @lukeknight @alexfmac We need a Churchill Founders Club for the UK.
Vibes = Growth, Energy, Drinks, and Cigars.

Top Aura in a EU resort:
1) Person who tips serving staff and isn’t American. You’ll look like an owner in terms of service.
2) repeat

Our Fund II stake in Lovable is such that we can sell a minority position and more than 2X the whole fund. Over 60% net IRR is an exceptional state for a fund to be in, but a lightning fast 2X DPI is ridiculous x.com/ikirigin/statu…

Plane was meant to leave 15 mins ago.
It still says ‘on time’ in the app.
Then why you try to tap into the booking you get this message 🤦♂️
Narrator: the flight is not operated by another airline
(Note also the ‘check in’ when I’m already checked-in with my boarding pass).
What a techno-shambles the BA app is.

@alexfmac @credistick It’s not the size of the Vintage that matters, but the quality of the Vino that makes the vintage.

@credistick I’m allocating capital as efficiently as the average VC

@levelsio - invite friends for dinner? What did you cook them if you only learnt to boil an egg this year?
Steak and Spinach right? You didn’t goof the Steak and Spinach.
@levelsio@levelsio
A house in walking distance from your friends Home gym Home massage room Home coworking space (invite friends every week) Big TV for movie night with friends BBQ Sauna Pool Jacuzzi Reverse osmosis water system Organic grass fed steak Organic local farm vegetables and fruit

@alexfmac Thought you fixed this?
Weird how my Bronze Blue relationship recently has meant better data retention.

Should I rebuild the @British_Airways booking site and app for them for free? I’m a ‘gold guest list’ client (~ $130k / year personal spend) They’ve had my passport in their system for years. Yet sometimes they ask me to enter all my passport details again No rhyme or reason.

@hkanji Failed bet, HVAC was a VC bet circa 1830. Right next to Japanese rail.
Modern times we’d call it timing.

This is a great read. It explains the ass backwardsness so well.
Ed Conway@EdConwaySky
🥵Why are so many Europeans/Britons unnecessarily sweating through a heatwave without cooling? Why are portable AC units so crap? The answers are both interesting and maddening. My latest on air conditioning👇 edconway.substack.com/p/the-missing-…

@compliantvc @wil_da_beast630 70° seems too warm it’s only 34° here.
English
@wil_da_beast630 I can't comprehend killing the environment and causing climate change?
Sadly, I can, because I have met many Americans
English
Meanwhile your doctor just billed you $260,000 for giving you an Aspirin prescription
Pudge (Don’t Trust: Ver-i-fy!)@pudgenet
Hey Europoors. I just got AC installed. In my garage. For my dogs. And I don’t even live in the South. My dogs live better than you do. I care more about my dogs than your govt cares about you.
English
Heatwave in a European Building or Transport system is an efficient Sauna.
We like Saunas.
Nothing else to see here from right wing media pedalling fallacies about AC, we don’t want it.

@mitsuhiko How much of that is memory?
I know consumer device companies that sell at loss bc of mem increases and not being able to inc prices dynamically
English
The actual price increases are fucked up. This is my current configuration now. I'm pretty sure I paid less than 7000 for this three months ago.
