@pollock @gener8tor Congrats TP!

I'm ECSTATIC to finally announce I'm joining @gener8tor as Managing Director of the Electrify Nevada Accelerator in Reno-Tahoe! Now let me tell you why Nevada is one of the most underrated energy tech ecosystems on the planet... Did you know? ⚡️ NV is #1/2 in solar, geothermal, lithium loop (+ one of the world's largest deposits & only active large scale mine in the US) ⚡️ NV is #4/5 in new data centers and energy storage ⚡️ NV has the LARGEST industrial park (TRIC, right outside Reno & larger than the city of Detroit w/ @Google @Apple @Microsoft @RedwoodMat operating and @OpenAI looking), LARGEST data center campus (@Switch Citadel), and one of the largest buildings (@Tesla Gigafactory) globally ⚡️ NV costs 3-10X less to do business than CA (and is only 3-4 hours from Silicon Valley) ⚡️ NV is growing VC 9x faster & battery manufacturing 6x faster (in Reno alone) than national averages ⚡️ NV has a Top 50 GDP rivaling New Zealand and Greece And the proof is already here: @positron_ai hit unicorn status out of Reno in 34 months ($1B+ valuation in Feb 2026). @tensorwave broke Nevada's startup funding record twice in one year out of Las Vegas ($100M Series A). Amperesand raised an $80M Series A and chose Reno for their US manufacturing hub. The success stories are piling up. Not to mention @gener8tor is now the largest accelerator network in the world with over 450 programs completed across 50 cities. Major network effects for founders. + Our program is backed by @US_EDA @DiversifyNevada @unlv @unevadareno @EDAWNReno I have been based in Reno-Tahoe for almost 4 years watching this come together, and now I'm HYPED to help build it. We will be running 4 programs annually across Nevada with bases in Reno-Tahoe and Las Vegas, supporting early-stage founders who want to seamlessly plug into the NV energy ecosystem. If you are working on anything AI or deep tech in energy, lithium, critical minerals, physical AI, batteries, grid infrastructure, nuclear, geothermal, AI data center power, manufacturing, or frontier energy applications, I want to hear from you. DMs open always. Applications opening soon. 🏗️ Let's build!

I called the second series In the second half, If anyone cares lmao shout out to the coaches!

@VikingNation28 1. Disagree with your take 2. What’s your recommendation for an alternative? 3. You didn’t even tag @PAOnTheMic you coward!!

I don't think it's debatable any longer honestly. He's openly washed

Ask and you shall receive

@laz_versalles Still trying to find that swing 😅 Enjoy your trip, nothing beats MN summer

@d_len The range is never the same without your silky swing. I did, however, see Jorie who’s playing pretty well.

Troy was part of our bag room staff at Oak Ridge. Would quietly beat the brakes off the entire staff. See below.

The job search f*cking sucks. @rampedcareers is fixing it.

@zebulgar Ramped next 🚀

Ramp surpassing Brex was an obvious outcome even when we led the Seed and Series A Ultimately a product + eng focused culture will win out over sales-only culture Great to see the future playing out exactly as expected

@iron_brutus @swankywolverine Bet

@swankywolverine There’s no reality where UM wins a natty this year. It’s absolutely foolish to think so. If they get to the playoff, they will get bent over by whom ever they have to play. Especially if that team is from the south

This is going to be a year to remember for Michigan football

Vikings vs Broncos Memories 2003 - The Culpepper to Moss to Moe Williams play of the year. From our "Turning Points" series. Vikes take the lead on this play at the end of the 1st half and beat the Broncos 28-20. @RandyMoss @miketice86 @Nate_Tice @PeteBercich

@vhmth @GergelyOrosz @loom is the best - both the team and the product

1. Loom security incident happens. 2. @GergelyOrosz drags us publicly because that's his brand. 3. I send out a tweet thread that goes viral and follow up with customers directly. 4. He asks for more info. I ask him his ETA. 5. 2 Months of radio silence. 6. Comes back and says he'd "like to wrap up this issue" and tries to big league me by putting me on his week deadline. Says he doesn't do calls. 7. I decline because he obviously doesn't respect my time. 8. He dangles a carrot in front of me saying he was "going to use this as an example of doing things right". What an utter tool.

Congrats to the @journeyio team! Huge day!

Wolves tightened up the laces on D! Don’t underestimate CULTURE SHIFTERS. Right…

@ericbahn I very much feel understood by this tweet

Thanks to my daughter, I can now sing every song in Frozen 2 by heart.

@AviNMash We miss $CMLF

Sema 4 $CMLF --> $SMFR --> $WGS Will changing the name will change investor sentiment?

@Brickwallblitz Still hurts

@ScottGifis Thank you so much, Scott! One of my all-time favorite conversations on TRP!

Thanks for hosting me on Ramped's podcast @d_len... Experience is that thing you get right after you need it :) but I enjoyed sharing a few experiences and the lessons learned while growing up in sales early in my career. lnkd.in/eTdqpw-e
