Here’s how to avoid getting lost in the “Idea Maze…” Being a founder is a bit like being Jack Torrance at the end of “The Shining.” If you could see a bird eye view of the entire landscape, you’d navigate your way to success immediately… but on the ground, it just looks like a bunch of snowy hedges. On TWiST Tokyo, @Jason and legendary angel investor @tgm blaze their own path through the idea maze, with a must-watch deep dive into essential tips for early-stage founders, angel investors, and everyone in between. Find out why investors need to stay aggressively optimistic, why buzzwords and marketing speak in your pitches are such a huge red flag, the secrets behind @elonmusk visionary achievements, “poker tells” that both Jason and Thomas look for in founders, and why running out of money is the greatest startup danger to watch out for. 🎥 Watch the full episode here 👇

@garrytan We are going to red-pill all the builders. Keep it up. For USA to thrive, we have to overcome govt idiocy - small and medium businesses that are now vast-majority-right have been dealing with this unfair BS for decades with nobody to speak for them, especially in CA.

Peter Reinhardt is one of the best founders I’ve ever met. We must take action to reduce regulatory overhead and enable engineers like him to solve problems for our country.

My lobbyists are very nervous about me posting this, but over-regulation is working against us all. The costs are astronomical to us all, but hidden. So, I'm taking a risk, and sharing my stories from Charm and Revoy: rein.pk/over-regulatio…

“One regulator wanted to add $100,000 of extra certification testing per engine family … a total of $27m extra certification for the (electric truck) startup. And keep in mind that this is to certify that a device—whose sole reason for existence is to cut pollution by >90%, and which has demonstrably done so across nearly 100,000 miles of testing and operations.”

Put chat GPT on voice mode in your AirPods, rent a lime bike and cruise around London asking about the history of the buildings you see. You will thank me.
