Excited to share what we're working on @memprotcol and to announce our $3.1M Seed led by @a16z with participation from angels and funds who align with our vision to create the social graph for web3.

@samaysham @ThriveCapital Congrats Samay!

I am excited to share that I have joined the founding team at Thrive Holdings (@ThriveCapital) to help build exceptional businesses designed to compound over many decades.

@PortalVentures Congrats! @evanbfish @dotcuriouscat

We're excited to announce our oversubscribed $75M Portal Ventures Fund 2. Portal exclusively leads crypto pre-seeds with the first check in. Since 2022, we've backed numerous category creators as day-one supporters. Across our two funds we’ve raised $115M. We focus on putting the founder first. We don’t do much marketing. Today we’re launching Fund 2, here’s what you need to know: 1. We focus on one thing and do it well — leading the pre-seed / first institutional round of category creating crypto businesses and protocols. 2. Thesis-driven: we invest only where we've done the homework. Our unique insights make us valuable thought partners to our founders, and at times extensions of the founding team. 3. Nothing is too early: we've backed companies without a whitepaper / deck. We underwrite the founder and sector. We roll up our sleeves to help navigate PMF and open our networks to unlock opportunities. 4. Back one per category: we make high-conviction bets. It’s the only way to be all-in with our founders. 5. "Who you see is who you get": both of us (@evanbfish and @dotcuriouscat) run full stack, from research and sourcing to investment decisions and post-investment support. Building a company is highly personal experience. We believe in a direct and personal approach to working together. To learn more about our portfolio and thesis, visit our website. Both @evanbfish and @dotcuriouscat's DM are open. If you’re building a category creating protocol, message us.

@lieberman_blake Congrats on the launch! An exciting opportunity for hardware founders.

@nivi Is this from the order of time by carlo rovelli?

The flow of time is just your subjective interpretation of having memories of the past:

@visakanv Thanks for the reminder to update mine: abhi.nyc/influence/

if you feel like you haven’t contributed much a thing you can do is assemble a doc listing out all of the things you’ve genuinely loved- your favorite books, movies, music, whatever, with a couple of lines about how/why they matter to you and share that visakanv.com/blog/influences

Alison reshared this as a response to “what is your contribution to society”. It’s an entertaining watch and rewatch what i find myself thinking about is how contribution is downstream of distribution. say you do 10 good works, and 1 gets distributed 1000x more than the others

@hicommonwealth Is the new MM a throw back to the cow? 🤫

@peer_rich Check out @Threads

is anyone building this but async and remote? you have n days to write the memo, everyone submits it, then the document gets published at the same time, people have 24 hours to read, comment etc. people have to read and comment, get reminder mails you see who still has to read and comment (i.e. "Peer did not read this yet"

@Altimor 👋

@stephmui This was a great read as well angellist.com/blog/the-state…

Is it really the worst time to fundraise in history??? I wanted to make sure, so I asked my smartest VC & founders-who've-raised-recently friends and this is what they said:

@christineist 'The question "Are you there for me?" is really asking our partners to be accessible, responsive, and engaged with us emotionally.' - Dr. Sue Johnson

what is the salt fat acid heat of a relationship?

@WizLikeWizard Congrats!! 🍾🥂

10/10, would recommend 🍾

@sameebuilds @cookbook_dev @Uniswap Couldn't agree more, look forward to keeping up with your videos!

Whitepapers are boring 😴 I'm an interactive learner. When I want to learn how a protocol works, I'd rather play around with the code. @cookbook_dev gets this - so we teamed up to make it easy to find any protocol, and get it running in seconds Me shipping @Uniswap in 3 mins:

@adamnash Dated memos/briefs as a form of communication are underrated today.

There’s something so incredibly humbling about reading this letter from Steve Jobs in 1986. It could have been written at literally any company I’ve ever worked at over the last 30 years. Some things never change. We are truly building castles in the sand.

@waitbutwhy Learn to be.

If you could send your 22-year-old self a three-word message, what would you say?
