First time founders are seduced by a firm’s “brand”, sometimes at the exclusion of everything else. Those that have gone through the fire before and have seen firsthand what really matters, are experienced enough to look beyond the veneer of the brand and evaluate the substance of what the firm and partner offer. Perhaps not a coincidence that a large % of our founders at @MarathonMP are repeat founders.
Harry Stebbings@HarryStebbings

Why Smart, Repeat Founders Are Less Likely to Raise from Mega Funds: "Smart founders look beyond just getting $10M quickly from a mega fund and ask what they are actually getting. We see many cases where the partner who backed the company leaves and the founder is suddenly orphaned inside the fund. Repeat founders especially understand this risk and look past the glitz of mega fund money." @gokulr Love to hear your thoughts on this @rabois @PalmerLuckey @tjparker @ilyasu @typesfast

I am so disillusioned about stuff that used to get me out of bed in the morning, stuff that used to excite me. What is this?

NEW: The Iranian parliament speaker, a former senior military commander with close ties to the military, said that Iran opened the war by targeting US radar and air defenses to attack any target with fewer missiles. This strategy is not working to stop ballistic missiles, though drones remain a concern. Interception rates of ballistic missiles have not changed significantly. More Key Takeaways: Iran’s attacks targeting radars and other missile defense equipment in the Gulf have not achieved the regime’s objective of degrading air defenses enough to reliably penetrate them.    There is evidence of damage to a THAAD battery radar in the UAE, for example, but the damage to this radar has not impacted the interception rate over the UAE.    The UAE, which has received the most Iranian attacks since the war began, has intercepted 241 of 262 ballistic missiles as of March 10, which is an interception rate of 92 percent. This interception rate is equivalent to the Israeli ballistic missile interception rates in April 2024, October 2024, June 2025, and during the current war. The interception rate also includes 19 missiles that were detected, not engaged, and landed in the sea. Only two missiles have hit UAE territory.    Other countries are having similar success, though it is difficult to determine exact interception rates from the available data. The last reported Iranian ballistic missile strike in the Gulf occurred on March 5.

Is there no place to simply get news on Iran, Israel, the Gulf, US forces and the Middle East? Everyone is cheerleading for something or the other. I want to know what is actually happeing to first approximation. How are you accomplishing this if at all? Thx in advance.

@estill01 Basically reads every email and tries to assess how best to handle it using Opus 4.6 and having access to all our internal data. It’s not making hard calls on deals. If something is within the bounds of what we do, I or one of my teammates review it.

I finally have the email system I’ve been wanting for years. I’m currently interfacing with my inbox primarily through Claude with access to a cloud-based MCP server I built wrapping the full Gmail API. For a few minutes here and there it suggests how to handle emails in my inbox and I approve, sometimes with some adjustment. I feel like one of those old-school CEOs whose high-end assistant talks through how to handle correspondence and then executes on their behalf.

Someone told me recently that we might be the last generation to die, or the first generation to live forever. I think he's right. It's a weird feeling to think you might just barely miss 'the forever bus.'

Larak and/or other islands, maybe the coast of the cove. even if 'exposed' that presumably depends on build-up and effects of current operations. Then use this to ensure ensure operations aren't disrupted. Not directly advocating but if this is a strategic lever the regime has, I'm curious what the maximum solution for neutralizing it looks like

@estill01 @SpencerGuard @WSJ That's an interesting question. Where would the bases be? Any in Iran would be exposed. The Gulf states are livid. Masirah would have been one good option, but I doubt Sultan Haitham will overlook the dishonour of involving his foreign minister in what they regard as perfidy.

I agree. "Iran Isn't Winning This War," @WSJ editorial board. wsj.com/opinion/iran-w… The reality inside Iran and the region is that the U.S. and Israel continue to make progress. The regime loses more of its military each day, along with the ability to hurt its neighbors. The Israelis estimate 70% to 75% of Iran’s missile launchers have been destroyed, and the U.S. has destroyed at least 43 Iranian ships. On Monday the United Arab Emirates received only 18 drones, down from 126 a day over the past week. We’ll soon see if that was a blip or a meaningful decline. Central Command’s Adm. Brad Cooper said last week that Iran’s missile and drone volumes were down 90% and 83%, respectively. Attacks on Iran’s internal security institutions are intensifying. Mr. Trump doesn’t need the regime to fall to call Operation Epic Fury a success. But stopping now amid some short-term economic discomfort would be a victory for the mullahs. They can’t be allowed to conclude that shutting down oil flows is their passport to survival now and in the future.
