@MeghanKReynolds True! But FB IPO was arguably overpriced Day 1. So, wonder if these privates are…? Risk=Reward (+Time and Patience)

@atlantatech Yes but If you invested in that Facebook round and held the position you would have a 30x and 25% IRR. Not bad :) *assuming the math is right

Heard from VC LPs this week: Multiple banks offering direct access - at large scale - to a premier company’s latest private round at relatively low minimums and a small placement fee Welcome to the Private IPO. Turns out “the doctors and dentists” aren’t so bad after all!

@ATL_SCOOP Same thing happened at 75 Fifth street parking garage about 20 years ago-

The resident parking garage at The Hendrix in Brookhaven has collapsed. Residents say they heard a loud explosion, then saw cars on fire. 😳

@RedWavePress The Democrat Party will refuse this act of personal generosity.

MASSIVE BREAKING: Elon Musk offers to pay the salaries of TSA workers during the ongoing partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown, as lines stretch for hours at airports throughout the country. Musk wrote on 𝕏: “I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country” Great man!

@WSJ Well deserved.

The Trump administration is suing Harvard University, alleging the school violated Jewish students’ civil rights in the latest escalation of the government’s year-long campaign against the Ivy League school on.wsj.com/3NM06gC

@mattvanswol Intentional Democrat Party chaos for American citizens.

🚨HOLY CRAP!!! The Houston TSA line has now stretched to a mind-blowing 150 minute-wait-time and has snaked around the airport, down an escalator and into BAGGAGE CLAIM!!! THIS IS INSANE!!!!

@SenLummis Hahaha, good one!

👀

@conorsen Airlines have to be furious.

Something really has to change here. Atlanta seems uniquely bad at the moment.

@CedarPosts The South is Rising again.

Last week liberals had a melt down over a Confederate Flag flying proudly in the wind on Lake Norman and visible from I-77. A couple of libs even called NC SHP and 911 to report the flag, then expressed outrage that the cops wouldn’t do anything. I realize this is a shock to Yankee transplants and West Coasters. But if you get off the interstates and drive across the Carolinas on secondary roads you’ll quickly realize these flags are pretty darn common. Trust me no one’s going to steal your children or burn a cross in your front yard. In the South people continue to fly the Confederate flag primarily as a symbol of Southern heritage, local pride, and regional identity, often honoring ancestors who fought in the Civil War. Others use it to represent rebellion, cherished rural lifestyle, or a desire for limited government. But be warned it is also a flashing reminder that FA/FO applies big time in rural Carolinas. Y’all come back now ya hear!

@PeterJ_Walker @gokulr Gimme that DPI all the times!

MOIC is BS, IRR matters more. @gokulr on Harry's pod is obviously right in the long-term. Short-term...IRR tends to look too good in early years after a couple big markups. Is there truly one venture metric to rule them all? No. Well, maybe DPI. But no.

@a16z Can AI’s talk their own book? :)

In the 1990s and 2000s, email “replaced” physical mail and changed the nature of correspondence. The same thing is happening right now with customer attention. If you think AI is just going to “replace” the call center agent, you’re stuck thinking about first-order effects. AI is going to create an entirely new category of customer relationship that was previously impossible, just like how email created an entirely new category of communication. a16z's Sarah Wang on how Decagon is using AI to give everyone concierge service: a16z.news/p/the-internet…

@rfkenmore Cold calling is hard. No one does it. This guy deserves every sale.

This dude named Gunnar Churchwell is cold approaching men on the street to sell them suits Menswear meets sales call reels “The Wolf of Custom” Kind of has some Christian Bale in him Unreal

@FARlikewhoa Well deserved.

Production days in LA are down nearly half and the entertainment industry is feeling it. A friend, who has been working as an editor for over 25 years, compared it to a coal mine shutting down.

@Ria_Martin Atlanta Flames. Best name ever.

@Timccopeland oh noes

'“They’re all pussies,” says Meltem Demirors, an early crypto investor who now runs her own firm, Crucible Capital, of her panicked peers. She is layered in diamond crosses and wearing a black sweatsuit with her firm’s slogan—“Believe in Something”—bedazzled across the ass. For the first time in years, she is buying Bitcoin again.'

@DHSgov Intentional chaos for US citizens by the Democrat Party.

“If you’ve flown out of a Texas airport lately, you’ve felt it: longer security lines, missed flights, and mounting frustration. Texans aren’t alone. Airports across the country are snarled, especially as spring break gets under way. Why the hassle? Democrats in Washington have refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration, causing mayhem at the departure gate” @Lancegooden theblaze.com/columns/opinio…
