Great people want to work together on hard and impactful problems, the magnetic pull is strong. It gets easier with a strong team but recruiting is most important skill in an early stage company.

founder phenotype observations - in the bay area hiring the right people is probably the hardest problem, as opposed to raising. And generally founders that do well seem to lead by actions, they have a long history of dedicated problem solving in one field. And attract others like themselves. The promise of future wealth can be an incentive but it doesn’t attract the most faithful or purposeful people..

An incredibly consequential run for @longmier, cofounder of Swarm (acq by SpaceX). This guy does not fail having sold 3 companies. Proud to know you and have the privilege of backing you. For the benefit of the world, glad that this once in a generation technologist is turning their attention to energy.

I left SpaceX a little while ago to spend more time with our new baby and family. I’m really proud of the Swarm and Direct to Cell (DTC) teams for going from a clean sheet design to commercial start with many hundreds of satellites in orbit serving users on 6 continents with text and data directly to their unmodified phones. It still seems like magic that we can text family and friends through the DTC sats traveling at Mach 23 at a 700 km slant distance directly through the worst part of a hurricane. I’m excited for the world to experience what is coming in the next generation of DTC, it will be really special. I was also given a shot to re-design the satellite Hall thruster with a small focused team. We made Argon propellant viable, and in fact made it more efficient and higher Isp than all previous Krypton or Xenon flight Hall thrusters, and did so with about 10x fewer parts. There are still many plasma physics secrets to be unlocked for future thruster generations. The engineering talent density, dedication, and speed at SpaceX are the highest in the world and it was fun to work alongside so much raw horsepower. I am very grateful to @elonmusk and @Gwynne_Shotwell for treating us so well at every turn, taking a chance on our team, and trusting us to build such a big project. Obviously this is only the beginning for @SpaceX as Elon and the team continue to expand humanity’s presence to the Moon, Mars, and further along the Kardashev scale.

We humans are going to have more style than those machines. Unique breaths and takes and ranges. Depth in the systems we think and are inspired by. Take nature for example. You can think in fractals, in moss, in math, and in biology. The way you combine these systems - in selection and choice - becomes your thinking style. Your signature.

Too many techbio companies focus too early on their own assets, making it hard to truly invest in the platform that makes them special.
Nabla shows a better way -- start with revenue generating partnerships, then vertically integrate over time.

Today we're announcing a second, larger collaboration with @TakedaPharma — deploying our integrated AI + wet-lab platform broadly across their portfolio to design antibodies, multispecifics, and other next-generation biologics. It’s been incredibly fun working with the Takeda team to create new medicines. Looking forward to doing a lot more of that together.

Boom. $1BN deal for @nablabio to design drugs w/ @TakedaPharma and actually bring home this decades promise of AI curing disease. LFG.

Love this so much. Reminds me of what @ceeceeboom has done with Boom Collectives but more structured.

Ambition is social. And unlocking breakthroughs requires exceptional talent willing to think differently. Which is why we want to bring more peer groups for ambitious, counterintuitive thinking into existence. Today we're launching a call for @ARIA_research Innovator Circles🧵

Our portfolio company, Merlin, is going public as the first defense prime for AI inaviation through a business combination with an Inflection Point-led SPAC, Merlin will be in a great position to scale critical AI-enabled autonomous flight capabilities, expand the volume and types of platforms they support, and accelerate their growth.
We’re honored to have been apart of their success and look forward to supporting this next phase of Merlin.

@ceeceeboom 5050 takes folks that have what it takes to be a great founder (though they might not yet be on that path) and gives them the inspiration, self-belief, knowledge, and network to start.
English
Obsessive, mission-driven and delusional - those who stop at nothing until the mission is accomplished.
Will Summerlin@WSummerlinAI
The idea of convincing people to become entrepreneurs is ridiculous. If you need to be convinced, you shouldn’t do it. Starting a company is totally irrational—you need to be obsessed and committed to a painful, decade-long grind. Most people are better off as employees.
English
@sethbannon Do you think 5050 makes a founder? How do you position this?
English
@ceeceeboom FYI some of the greats did need convincing.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin tried to sell Google for under $1m so they could return to their PhDs. Paul Allen had to convince Bill Gates to drop out of Harvard. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard took day jobs until pushed by a professor to start HP. Steve Wozniak wanted HP to build his Apple I design because he didn't want to start a company. Herbert Boyer had no interest in starting a company before Bob Swanson convinced him to start Genentech.
