America’s first Chief Design Officer is redesigning how 300M people interact with their government. We sat down with @jgebbia — Airbnb cofounder, now leading @ndstudio from the White House — to talk about why the role was created and the team he’s assembling to pull it off.

The goal @southpkcommons is to build maximally ambitious companies. Take some time to find the right mountain. Don't confuse motion for progress. Our first 10 years have been strong. Now we get to to go build the next decade. This article captures us well:

SPC turns 10 this year. A decade ago, Ruchi and I just wanted a space for people who weren't ready to start a company but knew they wanted to build something. We wanted to create a startup that would help other startups and founders. The best founders aren't just creative. They're ferociously competitive. They want to win. Not because they care about status — because they're greedy. Greedy to bring about the change they know must happen. And so I am feeling greedy. We have had a great 10 years. But I want more. I want more startups to exist and solve big problems. I want to work with more insane and wacky builders. The problems get bigger. The stakes get higher. Your ambition expands to fill the space. If you're in the -1 to 0 phase and feeling both terrified and alive: that's the signal. Don't ignore it. Be more ambitious. We at SPC certainly are going to be maximally aggressive and ambitious on our end. It's Day Minus One. Let's build.

What do we mean when we talk about talent density @southpkcommons? This is the company you'll keep in the member residency. Why it's the best place to figure out what you want to build.

Other than YC, is there a single example of a VC firm that’s truly built a community around their brand? So many VCs boast about their “community building” efforts with their founders. Yet all that amounts to in most cases is a handful of generic events (dinners, conferences, retreats), generic content (blog posts on GTM and hiring, mediocre podcasts no one listens to), and Slack channels that die after a few posts. YC is the only firm I’ve seen that’s built a real community which has become self reinforcing, broad, and yet still feels exclusive. Founders and alums who stay closely connected, who go out of their way to help each other, invest in each other, who for years after the program ends proudly display their batch year on all their social profiles. There is an intense sense of belonging, akin to school spirit, which continually spreads and elevates the YC brand globally. VCs who throw around that term, take note: what YC has done is real community building.

Listen up #Californians- @GavinNewsom says he’s asked his team to craft a plan for a “Data Dividend” in this state. If tech companies are going to make billions $$$ from your private data, you should get a share! No details offered beyond that #stateofthestate @nbcbayarea
