Negativity is the ultimate self-own.
Multiple studies have found that constant rumination and persistent negative thoughts often “underlie a tendency toward maladaptive stress responses, anxiety, depression, and difficulties disengaging from negative thoughts.”

In the age of vibe coding, who’s still building software the way Nolan shoots on 70mm?

@InvestLikeBest do the work to earn the right to fundraise from one email...

How Benchmark fundraises:
"We send an email on Tuesday night and the fund is closed on Wednesday morning."

John Kim has raised over $70 billion in his 30-year career. At General Catalyst, he raised several flagship funds and helped build the firm into one of the largest venture investors in the world. Now he leads fundraising at Lila Sciences, a company building scientific superintelligence. His book The Tao of Fundraising is the definitive guide to attracting capital, and this conversation is a masterclass in it. We discuss: - How General Catalyst built consensus - Why money moves at the speed of trust - Persuasion = desire minus fear - The 3 laws of fundraising - The secret of the GP/LP relationship Enjoy!

@nanransohoff @jacksondahl two absolute legends in dialogue together... must listen
English
Had so much fun talking with @jacksondahl about philanthropy, public goods, and some squishier life topics towards the end.
Jackson Dahl@jacksondahl
Dialectic 51: Nan Ransohoff! @nanransohoff thinks more of the world's most impressive people should work in philanthropy. And that they needn't sacrifice ambition or upside to do so. Nan leads public goods at @stripe. That includes Frontier (carbon removal) and Intercept (respiratory illness). She's also written about how we need more "general managers" (read: more 'Nan's) and how philanthropy is about to undergo explosive growth thanks to AI money. I talked to Nan about: - GMs and identifying orphaned problems to own end-to-end - coordinating the market to spend billions to suck carbon from the sky and end the common cold - how vision is in short supply - what philanthropy can learn from startups and VCs - the third wave of American philanthropy (driven by billions in OAI/Anthropic philanthropic dollars that will need to be spent) - how many things we may want (good, beauty, meaning) may be harder to quantify and thus require a different philanthropic approach - getting off the "gold star" established path and choosing a life and ambition of her own making Timestamps: 0:00 - Opening Highlights 1:15 - Intro to Nan 4:53 - Start: What is a Nan?

@albertwenger thank you @albertwenger you and @fredwilson have blazed the trail for decades. We're happy to be playing a small part in the abundant future we are all building.
English
We've metamorphosed...
Today, ReGen Ventures becomes Onto Ventures. Onto is our quest to build the enabling technology to make abundance our reality.
Why?
Last year it became apparent that our name was no longer reflective of the scale of our ambition and the ambition of the founders we partner with. It was too literal and too limiting for the world we are building. A world of abundance from the atomic to the cosmic.
We decided it was time to change. If we were ever going to do it, now was the moment. So here we are. Here’s hoping we got it right this time. The root of the word Onto is concerned with the nature of being, existence and reality. The process of ontogenesis is an individual organism’s development and growth from conception to maturity. We’re early in our ontogenesis.
Onto is a place where ideas, talent, trust, capital, and ambition converge. Beyond a fund. Beyond a firm. A Thermal Dome. The Costa Rican thermal dome is an unsung wonder of the natural world where a convergence of conditions creates an invisible engine of life in the open ocean. Invisible to the eye, the thermal dome cultivates the conditions to generate an abundance of life. Onto was founded to cultivate the conditions for the world we want to live in.
Onto is the complete expression of who we are, our ambition, and what it feels like when we all win. Our metamorphosis reflects our deep commitment to the founders we serve and the epic mission we are on.
For now, the job’s not done. It may never be done. We are back to work identifying and earning the right to partner with the most consequential companies of all time.
Let’s make magic!
We’re all in.

I can’t consume Moroccan sporting content without also reflecting on the fact that Hicham El Guerrouj’s 1999 world record for the Mile still stands. A quarter of a century later!

I was clearly wrong about Anthropic. They are obviously currently the leader in AI. No company has released a model as good as Mythos/Fable and they will undoubtedly have Mythos 2 ready soon.
And I would never cut them off in a way that hurt them badly, even as a competitor. That’s not my style.
Tesla open sourced its patents and we made the Supercharger network available to all competitors, even though we could have made it a walled garden.
SpaceX launches competing satellite systems with no increase in price or use of unfair terms.
Even my worst enemies can attack me on this platform.
