@kirbywinfield And the Windup Girl!

feels like a good time to recommend this masterpiece

@kirbywinfield @kwinfield2025 @ChapmanSports Congratulations to Kirby 1 and Kirby 2. Love it when hard work and long-term dedication pay off! Good luck at Chapman!

@aviel Gotta get those Hanukkah Bushes out early this year.

Fuck it

@Natebek @carsonnye All on the Ohana, Nate. Great to hang out with you.

“Most valuable event at Vancouver startup week,” a founder told me after the event. Loved watching the pros @isaackato & @carsonnye do their thing in 🇨🇦. Thanks for having me :-)

@TwoRavensVC and @carsonnye roadtrip to @vanstartupweek with Seattle pal @Natebek of @ascend_vc. Viv and Katty - you’re killing it. Congrats on the 10th anniversary!

Thank you, Oren Etzioni, for leading this critically important work: nytimes.com/2024/04/02/tec…

@kirbywinfield Thanks, Kirby! I suppose it’s possible that your extensive track record investing in Seattle and PNW founders is merely a figment of my imagination, but… Excited to work with you!

more proof of the lack of startup investing activity in seattle! congrats to my good friend @isaackato who is ride or die for the founders he works with 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛☔️🔥☔️🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛geekwire.com/2024/former-te…

No AI-driven labor disruption here. economist.com/asia/2023/10/0…

Best practices that people should follow from @kirbywinfield. Also, if we don’t know each other well/have no working history together, a referral isn’t going to carry much weight.

Super fun to come back to @startupiceland to share Part II of my @VerneGlobal founder story, 10 years after my 1st appearance at this great conference. Thanks for having me back, @balakamallakhar. The Icelandic startup ecosystem is stronger than ever! youtube.com/watch?v=2QsZsT…

@techstarsweb3 My pleasure, and good luck to the founders!

A special thank you to @isaackato for a great workshop on Finding #Funding with our current cohort 🚀 #givefirst #techstars #startups

@etzioni Oren, I’m sorry for your loss. Your Dad sounds like an amazing man.

I had fun moderating a panel on Nordic Data Centers with some old friends from Iceland, including #businessiceland, #farice, and @landsvirkjun, who were huge supporters of @VerneGlobal. I remain super bullish on Iceland after all these years! Áfram Ísland!

This is why ⁦@Shemattersio⁩ matters… nytimes.com/2023/05/06/ups…

A must read if you’re interested in the metaverse. @CCPGames and the developers and players of @EveOnline have been living there for 20 years, come this May. Amazing. Mindblowing. Sublime.

Some great news: justice prevails in King County, WA! All hail the Oxford comma! I am genuinely happy about this. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…

Super excited to see the latest evolution in the Eve Universe. I had the pleasure of joining the CCP BoD in 2006 - since then @HilmarVeigar and his team have never ceased to amaze and push the boundaries of games and the virtual world. Áfram, CCP!
