@AMartinelliWA An abomination of a fee

NEW: The DEA will open its Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Portal on Wednesday, April 29, at 9am (ET), giving applicants a formal starting point to register as a medical marijuana dispensary. Applications will require an annual fee of $794. themarijuanaherald.com/2026/04/dea-po…

@Jason I’m in

We started an AI founder twitter group... reply with "I'm in" if you're a founder and want to be added

@pejmannozad Too many investors on social media. Not enough supporting entrepreneurs!

Too many founders. Not enough entrepreneurs!

@erica_wenger Can we be friends?

If you’re my friend and you raise preseed $ from VCs without giving me a heads up, I will be annoyed. Happens so rarely, but still Friends let friends invest in their companies!!! (I repost this every 6 months as a reminder 😊 )

@bradcarryvc As a competent founder this may be the most infuriating tweet I’ve ever seen. Will only be more infuriating when company A fails and you inevitably invest in his company B.

Invested $3 million into a company last year Just asked the founder if they filed company taxes yet Told me they don’t have to do those Why not? “We have a .ai domain, so technically we are an Anguilla company.” I asked if that’s where the business is incorporated He had no idea what I was talking about

@VermaAakash3 False. Claude can guide a campaign and give WRITTEN directive. Running and entire campaign on autopilot requires imagery, which on could argue is pivotal to social media.

BREAKING: CLAUDE can now run your entire social media on autopilot mode like a $800/hour social media manager for free. Here are 7 CLAUDE prompts that you should try:

@brettcalhounn @redbudvc Facts. Love building @HighRInnovation with my husband.

One of the most underrated drivers of outlier startup outcomes is good spouses/partners. I can assure you, @redbudvc wouldn't be where it is without mine.

@harpriiya @speedrun @a16z need a HotBox for your Hotbox?

I can finally talk about this!! Hotbox is backed by @a16z @speedrun :) I spent the last 14 months in Korea and now I’m back in SF, where it all began. My entire career exists because of social media. From early NeurIPS papers, to working on ranking algorithms, and then building viral playbooks for startups. The thing I kept coming back to is: every company has no choice but to become a media company. To distribute. To get attention. That is the next generation of entrepreneur’s biggest challenge. That’s the next single person unicorn’s moat. Hotbox is built for that next gen entrepreneur. Businesses run entirely on social now. Hotbox is the sales infra for the social economy. more to come. sign up on our waitlist & lmk if you’ll be at the a16z speedrun demo day 🤫

@DallasLoveField Arrived less than an hour before boarding 👀 and there was zero line. easiest airport

@ashciccel Hi there! We haven’t experienced any unusual delays with security lines. As always, we recommend arriving 2 to 3 hours before your flight, especially during busy travel periods like spring break.

@DallasLoveField how have TSA lines been 🙏🏼?

@MeghanMcCain we invented an air purifier specially to combat cannabis odor bc we believe plant medicine & life quality matter over stigma/opinions. cannabis etiquette if you will. ps it works like a regular purifier plus portable oh & made in America! @HighRInnovation higherinnovation.com/products/the-h…

I never would have supported the legalization of marijuana had I known what would end up happening to young people and our cities. I deeply regret it. Every major city and uber in them just reeks of weeds everywhere. It is absolutely vile.

The primary is over. Lets come together and do something Dems have not done for a generation — shock the world and flip Texas blue

Whoever wins the Texas primary is the person whom the Democrats in Texas chose. Let's all get behind whoever wins. Both are orders of magnitude better than Ken Paxton.

@alexisohanian @sevensevensix We’re creating accessibility to clean air and plant medicine. 3D printing. Manufacturing out of Pflugerville TX. Higherinnovation.com

Founders: If you're building the infrastructure of abundance, I want to fund you at the earliest possible stage. @sevensevensix is my life's work.

@MaximusKannabis Yet expecting a different outcome

Somewhere an #MSOS investor is about to inhale deeply and whisper, "It's happening," to absolutely no one. #speakingfromexperience #cannabis

@chaosengineerr Threads + Reddit

As a founder, where do you see the most value in 2026? 1. X 2. TikTok/Reels 3. Reddit 4. Linkedln

@ChrisHollod we should chat!

Announcing the close of our $75M early-stage consumer fund at Second Sight Ventures. Investments include Lemme, Momentous, Khloud, Superpower, Steven.com, Breath Death, Sekra, and Blueprint. fortune.com/2026/02/23/pat…

@ColinGardiner I’m in Austin building @HighRInnovation and we should chat. Cannot share here what we’re executing with a marketplace publicly yet, but soon. I’ll be in Vegas for part of SXSW but we gotta chat prior.

Had four separate coffee meetings with VCs visiting Austin yesterday and a couple the week before. SXSW seems highly attended this year. Increasingly common that people are coming to Austin in addition to SF and NYC visits. Two even mentioned moving here. I don’t think overall numbers are reflecting momentum in the Austin market yet. Bullish.

@HarryStebbings too busy building portable clean air solutions & to tight with cash to pay for PR. PR is needed but damn. I need innovation, marketing, inventory, tariff mnmgt etc to be on @twentyminutevc to share how we are making air purification cool & leveraging 3d printing to make it happen

If you are having your PR advisor reach out in this media landscape, you really don’t understand media right now.
