@ThompsonScribe To quote the great Jimmy Butler, “Stop dribbling, Buddy.”

Buddy got his cookies taken at half court by Steven Adams. Wow.

Excited for Aigency.ai which has closed its pre-seed round and hired a great head of AI. Something new coming soon from OWOW.ai as well.

I am surprised people are reacting as if WP Engine’s intent wasn’t originally to suggest an affiliation with @WordPress. And WP Engine isn’t some mom and pop developer. It is owned by Silverlake, one of the biggest PE firms in the world. I am with @photomatt on this one.

Super Bowl Sunday is a good time for humanity to check-in on the state of the art for fake talking animal technology.

English be like: bi, by, buy, bye.

@danielraffel You can try, but that shit will grow back. It is incredible.

New sawzall is making good progress cutting through the bamboo forest

@gcEasyCo Then why do they need a “lead”?

I just got an email from a startup looking for “a lead investor for its post-seed round”. I have heard of pre-seed and seed round but now there is a “post seed” round? Then the angle round? Anything to avoid a Series A, i guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@roybahat Too soon. Still hurts.

GPT-4 will make SVB a faded memory.

Many days I miss being a founder. Today was not one of those days.

@xvrqt @malekiRe I need to talk to you about this, actually.

The custodian bank of the lead investor in VRChat's 80 million dollar funding round, Anthos Capital, was Silicon Valley Bank. I don't know what this means for the future of VRChat. aum13f.com/fund/anthos-ca… crunchbase.com/organization/v…

@arampell So true. Cold. Brrrrr

You know you’re in Europe when…

@arampell Awesome thread. As a five time startup founder and 50x angel investor, it reads very true.

1/ How a company I co-founded (TrialPay) once exited the Catch 22 of “can’t raise cash without growth; can’t grow without raising cash” which is potentially the most “unsolvable” (Kobayashi Maru) situation a VC-backed company can face

The real victims of @apple battle with @facebook is small business and startups. So many amazing small biz that offer products people want to find and buy are hurt. Convincing the world that ad targeting is evil is disingenuous on Apple's part. ft.com/content/1959b0…
