Credit to @satyanadella for his strategic genius. He turned MSFT around when he became CEO in 2014, focused on 'mobile first, cloud first'. The market cap increased from $300M in 2014 to $2.8T now. He just recruited THE leading ai team. What is the embedded value now? hmm

@HarryStebbings @FoundersPodcast @patrick_oshag I’ve listened to several at least 5 times. Michael Jordan, David Ogilvy, Isador Sharp, Estée Lauder

I am so competitive that I never post about other podcasts, ever, even the ones I love. My fave is always @FoundersPodcast and I am about to go for a long 50KM run. What are the must listen Founders episodes for you? @patrick_oshag thoughts?

@myfriendjanine @MoniqueWoodard @rednieves @rtenbrink1 Great seeing you @myfriendjanine! Yesterday was fun.

Had a great time at the Bank of America VC Summit in NYC today. I got to meet so many of my fund manager idols IRL @MoniqueWoodard @rednieves @dpong @rtenbrink1 + more!

@Beezer232 @SapphirePrtnrs @CalSTRS @natewcl @LauraLPThompson @isabel_bloch @EvanTarzian Let’s go 🙌🏾

1/👑 Once upon a time, today's legendary venture funds were emerging managers… Which is why today I’m excited to share that @SapphirePrtnrs is launching a new program to invest in emerging venture managers with a sole LP, @CalSTRS, the world's largest educator-only pension fund! Why we are excited about this next chapter👇 🧵 As part of this new program, we are taking over the management of five existing CalSTRS “New and Next Generation Manager Funds,” representing $1.4B AUM.* Collectively, we have invested in 300+ emerging managers. Our plan going forward is to invest ~$100M/year into emerging venture managers.🙌

Happy long weekend ahead!

@Zecca_Lehn Keep pushing, Zécca!

Two soft-committed Anchor LPs backed out of our fundraise prior to close date, due to matters outside of anyone's control. And some of the least expected people invest when you can't predict it. You've got to set a plan and stick to it as an EFM, and be consistent in follow-up. Eventually it attracts the best people, who see the work clearly. We're in our final close, and plan to raise multiple funds over the coming years. Join us! #506c 💚
