That England v Argentina should be studied and founders should remember it
You go 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go
You decide to sub an attacker for a defender….protect the downside, play it safe
Should have doubled down, put on rashford up top, stretch them and play in behind
Offense is the best defense

@damndhruv @stripe so can stripe finally go public via this deal?!
🤣
English
As a new @stripe employee, this is definitely exciting and shocking at the same time. There’s a lot of very clear synergies but the tech debt and unwinding of PayPal’s historic decision making will be the real cost

@shayanshafii real ball knowledge is knowing that team underperformed
no trophies for 3 years…

@coffeewithcigar Great athletes and great footballers (soccer-players) are two very different things imo

It’s going to be very hard for the US to catch up with other countries ⚽️
Some context - I’ve played football at a high level in North America, and also LOI underage in Ireland. Players I’ve played with are now in the Premier League, League of Ireland, NCAA & other European professional leagues.
In Europe, the higher the level you play the cheaper football gets. You actually start to get paid if you’re at the very top, and at the very least, your gear, travel etc is covered by the club.
My club even had to pay fines for my red / yellow cards….
However, in the US, you have to pay more to play at a higher level. The best kids at 12 years old are almost always from middle/upper class backgrounds, playing in the big cities.
Then suddenly, football starts to get intertwined with your grades and education, which doesn’t help the people who actually need football.
For some people, football is literally all they have. Part of me thinks that’s sometimes why they make it — there’s no plan B. In the US, the backup plan is baked into football. The pool of players is already filtered by class, and filtered again by education.
You’re left with — well, Christian Pulisic…

These red card rules are so dumb. It’s so marginal and changes the entire game…and the next. Just give the dude a yellow. So stupid.

Croatia were robbed… apparently the chip in the ball could detect if the ball was touched or not
but THERES NO WAY that sensor can detect the slightest flick of a hair — the ball didn’t change direction at all

“very American in our style”
Oliver Molander@OliverMolander
To be clear: We pretty much only do SAFEs/convertibles early on so founders can focus on what matters (product & customers). Fastest from first meeting to signed SAFE we've done is a couple of hours. We're pretty much always the fastest no bs VC and very American in our style.
English
Young founders:
Move to SF so you don't have to raise from euro-VCs who will drag you over meaningless insignifcant things like this.
It's fine to say your SAFE valuation is your valuation as long as it was significant $$ from a real investor, not $10k from your uncle.
Oliver Molander@OliverMolander
Young founders: You don't have a valuation yet if you've done a SAFE. I see some early-stage AI founders bragging that their 6 month old startup is worth $XXM (red flag) when they've only done SAFEs. You get a valuation once you raise a priced round and shares actually move.

@OliverMolander exactly the type of shit a european vc would tweet

🎉I’m excited to announce our $18M Series A, with participation from @VenrexVC, @thegp , @VirtueVC , @caffeinatedcap , @arrayvc, @GreatPointVC , @LiveRamp, @haystackvc, @CapitalAlso, @LifeXvc , Circle & Co, and WS Investments.
The first generation of AI was built on public, human-curated data. The next will be built on real-world data. The datasets carrying real human behavior are what now separate one AI system from another. AI companies want them. The companies that hold them want to put them to work. The barrier has always been risk.
We solved that risk in healthcare, one of the most regulated data environments there is. Today we bring it to the rest of the economy.

I’m so excited to share this update on @Conception –
We’ve generated the first early human eggs derived from stem cells.
This is a big deal -- the potential to redefine fertility is real.
