@paulg I looked in the Bookface booker but didn’t see your name; how can we book with you?

I've been doing office hours with startups for 20 years now. I must have talked to over a thousand of them. How have I not become bored by it? I think the reason is curiosity. Each startup's idea is different, and it's a puzzle to figure out how to make it work.

@adamfeuerstein @LizzyLaw_ I wonder if he were still on X , how things may be different for him

👀Inside the fall of Vinay Prasad at the FDA 👀 A powerful and extremely online regulator ran out of friends when it mattered most @LizzyLaw_ with some incredible details you haven't read before. - an email Prasad sent to CBER staff on Saturday night, seeking to control the backlash that ultimately cost him his job - Calls made by Sen. Ron Johnson, a big right-to-try promoter, to the FDA, raising concerns about Prasad's actions. - The involvement of a Duchenne mom with close ties to Trump This is a fantastic story. Link below.

@spencermpeter Congrats Spencer!

@ethanjweiss Congrats Ethan! Amazing . The worm is my go to, too, btw

I’ve been on this site for almost 16 years and for many, if not most of them, I’ve posted quite a bit about Ruthie and what it’s been like to raise a kid with a disability. I’ve been pretty quiet lately, but yesterday, she graduated from high school and was selected to give one of 3 student speeches. Here is hers (sorry it's 8 min). I keep learning so much from this young woman. I don’t expect that will change…

@HarryStebbings @immad Immad is one of our angel investors and he’s 11/10. Any founder would be lucky to take this check . Congrats Immad!

20VC Exclusive: When @immad calls to say he has some news and wants to share on 20VC. I am in. Unveiling Immad’s first institutional fund with $26M. LFG. 💰 Why raise a fund + the strategy ⁉️ Should founders also have funds on the side? : 🔝 Why founders should take the highest price 🏆 Why Sequoia operates at another level to others Why AI is overhyped? Where is not? My 5 Key Takeaways 👇

@anothercohen Along the same lines: Orchestra instructor Backup QB Pilot , but co pilot even better

Sometimes I think about how easy life would be as a real estate agent. You just walk into houses all day, tell your buyers whatever they want to hear, and then when it finally comes time to do any real work you tell your client to hire a lawyer. The dream

@morgancheatham @BreyerCap Huge, congrats Morgan!

some news! i've joined @BreyerCap as Partner and Head of Healthcare and Life Sciences.

@rrhoover @Austen I think he’s wrong by 2x $50 for 30, shower, lift, zoom, whatever- room is yours Runway dot com , brb

@Austen 100%. I'd pay.

If you opened a gym in an airport you could charge $50/hour

What’s the best adventure to take your kids on when they’re 5, 7, and 9?

Crazy no one knows these authors

@garrytan @glangley @glangley should hire those pros before every VC pitch

I funded Flock Safety’s seed round at YC demo day in 2017 because a pro car breakin crew hit every car on our block in Noe Valley that morning when I met @glangley Amazing to see what they are doing in SF Flock solved 10% of reported crime in America now

@chrissyfarr probably @rabois

This statement does feel really abrupt from Forward Health, which the company acknowledges. Who has thoughts on why the model didn’t work? goforward.com

@chrissyfarr If you’re thinking HH, consider Amelia island. Fly to JAX, 30 min drive and there are world class hotels / resorts all with lots of kids stuff Savanah may also be direct from ny

Crowdsourcing this: We have small kids (2&4) and we need a spot to go for spring break. Would love a direct flight from NYC, family friendly, warm weather. Thinking about Florida keys, Hilton Head or we could go international… Would love to feel resourced and that the kids have stuff to do. Recs?

@garrytan @rajeevbehera Huge congrats!

Congrats to @rajeevbehera of Every for raising an epic Series A led by Redpoint Being able to run taxes, finance and bookkeeping out of one place for every business is a huge unlock every.io/blog-post/why-…

@paulg Makes sense I’d love to see what’d happen if you buried yourself at the bottom and set a max per day or week , then you disappear My guess is you get the realest ones

@aaadvani The group partners send me startups they think I can help.

Usually when I do office hours with a startup, there's at least something unresolved at the end. But yesterday with one startup we not only figured out everything they should do, but even found a new domain name. For the last couple minutes we just chatted. That was a first.

@paulg These are some of the smartest, yet most humble of the bunch To me that’s the key to it working

Something subtle you'll notice if you look closely at this picture: these are people who genuinely like working together. If you're young you may think "what's so unusual about that?" but if you've worked at a law or VC firm or big company or university department, you know.
