Poor early stage investors rely on data. Mediocre early-stage investors rely on references. Great early-stage investors rely on intuition and upside maximisation.

OK yes, Chat makes mistakes but takes the feedback well, isn’t defensive, apologizes and works to rectify the problem.

@jmj Love this. Research is clear. Keep your mind alert (driving does that in part!), walk (and if you can, do something to preserve/build muscle tone), surround yourself with people you love and make sure you have strong social connections. Watch your weight and don’t smoke.

I know you’re all into infrared/cold plunge/hyperbaric longevity, but last night I met a 100-year-old woman who: - Drank 2+ glasses of wine - Just renewed her driver's license for 3 more years - Said goodnight to her grandkids & drove herself home That's real longevity.

10 years ago I started 20VC as a kid in a bedroom in London. I had a computer and dreams of meeting my heroes. Tonight I got to sit down for the second time with one of the greatest founders of our time @Benioff @salesforce. The internet is magical. Work hard, be kind, and never leave anything on the field.

Dishoom made nearly $150M in revenue in 2023, though only about ~$10.3M in operating profit pretty impressive considering how consistent the quality is as they've scaled (11 locations now) also the founders are Harvard Business school grads and did bain/investment banking lol

@DenehyXXL @alexisohanian @almostcmb I was a member from ancient times. Really enjoyed the Meat Packing district vibe. Last year I went (in Miami) and there was a fist fight among eight people about who should be getting their car first from Valet. I cancelled my membership first thing.

@alexisohanian @almostcmb Man just find a way to recreate the vibe from this era 👇 wild how far it’s drifted, largely by letting hordes of people in rendering all of the ‘club’ benefits non-existent

Thinking of starting a members club in NYC — how much would you pay for membership? It'd be limited capacity and application-only so that everyone there has built something... like minimum founder of $1M ARR business? But with events open to the public.

Personal News: Meet My New Editorial Project Small announcement about a new editorial project — a concentrated effort to write and report on the future. I’m reaching out to invite you to subscribe to this new email newsletter I’m co-writing with Fred Vogelstein, another veteran technology writer, and a friend. At the dawn of the new year, I wondered about Wired magazine and how it has shifted away from its axis of optimism about the future. Instead of being a magazine about the technology revolution, it felt more like a zine about the ephemera of modern zeitgeist. It wasn’t just Wired. Optimism about the future, especially from a technological perspective, has been in short supply in media these days. My essay caused a very minor stir. One of my friends (and former Time Inc. colleague) Fred Vogelstein took umbrage at my piece. He wrote for Wired on and off for 15 years. After a spirited back-and-forth on social media, we decided to meet for coffee in San Francisco’s South Park. That coffee turned into a series of meetings — over more coffee, obviously. Fred realized that what I was saying wasn’t too far from how he viewed the world and media landscape. So we decided to do something about it — and that something is (not surprisingly) a newsletter. It’s a newsletter called Crazy Stupid Tech! Crazy Stupid Tech? WTF? Well, because we both LOVE crazy, stupid technologies (and ideas). Fred is big into digital biology, the future of media, and battery tech. I have never been more excited about everything. As Silicon Valley’s influence extends deeper into all corners of our economy and lives, there have never been more interesting, crazy, stupid, and intriguing ideas and technologies out there. We don’t think they’re getting enough attention.  'So our goal is to tell you about those that really matter and explain why they matter. It’s a big list that covers everything from synthetic biology and materials science to computers that can see, hear, and think. It is also about the revolutionary changes in chips, networks, photonics, and other foundational layers necessary to drive these advancements. Early clues about where things are headed often live there. All of this is fertile ground for us to connect some dots. We hope it will help us and you understand the world a little better, beyond the headlines and hype. What does that mean in practice for subscribers? Our newsletters will take the form of either a big interview or a deep dive into a subject that warrants careful consideration. You won’t find vapid, fawning celebrity profiles or funding-driven news analysis here. Our focus is on tech-of-technology that shapes the future. We believe, that the tech-of-tech is the best lens to focus on the future. Expect something from us once a week. Expect it to be free!
