@NWischoff Why not AL for fund admin?

Optimal venture firm tech stack (after trying a lot of providers): -Bank: Stifel (fund)/ @rhobusiness (portcos) -Fund Admin: Standish (hated AngelList for this) -Management Co Accounting: Standish -Legal: @Orrick -Taxes: Moss Adams now Baker Tilly (funds)/ personal (@fifteenth_tax) -CRM: Streak (Hated Affinity and Attio) -SPVs: @AngelList -Platform for Portcos: @NotionHQ -Sourcing: @clay mostly for some outbound -Brand/logo: @elanmiller -Website design/pitch decks: @alexbanaga/ EatCaviar dot co (raised three funds with him) -Payroll: @joinwarp -401k: Still hate every option but @humaninteresthq sucks the least

@andrewchen Irish domination ☘️

Weirdly, 4chan’s top books list might be one of the best ones I’ve seen?

Very much worth following along #horsesinspace

@VirginMediaIE is there an outage in Dublin 7?

The next chapter of the Bouttemont story starts today with his first foals selling at @Goffs1866. There are 11 on offer and early highlights are a half-brother to Coventry Stakes winner Buratino (lot 17) and one of my own that I think is a real beaut (lot 279). Don’t miss them!

@fiannafact @patrickc No prob, drop me an email Jack[at]joingreenroom[dot]com 👍🏼

@jackcantillon @patrickc I would love to see this.

Today I had lunch with twelve young Irish people -- a wonderful bunch in their early 20s working on rockets, biotech, software/AI, etc. I enquired about whether any were planning on leaving Ireland over the next 3 years. All hands but one went up. I asked the holdout why he was staying; he clarified that he was also going to leave, just not in the next three years. Mobility is a wonderful thing, but it feels worrisome if everyone in such a group concludes that they ought to emigrate. This desire seems to generalize. A 2023 study suggested that more young people want to leave Ireland than any other EU country.

@adrianweckler Indigenous innovation like Manna should be celebrated like our artists or athletes.

Manna has been refused planning (retention) permission for its drone delivery hub at J6 Blanch/Cknock. Fingal Co Council gave 3 reasons: 1. Noise pollution 2. “Visual clutter” 3. Isn’t “high technology” in the way Council envisages More: independent.ie/business/techn…

@Sam__Enright Can’t stop, won’t stop

The Irish Enlightenment strikes again

@FinnMurphy12 Are there support groups for prediction founders before they got front row seats at the Knicks?

Polymarket CEO at the Knicks literally on the phone front-running the markets on next to score - outrageous stuff

It’s time to change Ireland’s narrative.

@Sam__Enright Very good holiday destination selector

In a slight change to the original plan, our Dublin reading group about the life of Charles de Gaulle will be split across tomorrow (September 20th) and next Sunday (September 28th). DM if you'd like to join!

@Cathal_Dennehy He’s got the receipts! fair play Cathal

Talent that big never hides

@FinnMurphy12 You’re still an alien

After a long stint as occasion visitor, summer worker, trainee in the Senate & non-immigrant alien of extra abilities America has at last let me in for good :) This country is an aspirational place to do big things filled with wonderful supportive people. Best not to forget it.

@adamjsorensen @interaction lol thanks for providing the negotiation clout Adam! @interaction 🤝 Poke

Just got Poke for free, thanks @interaction :)

@tony_calvin @figjamben @PhilipEvsChels @kevinblake2011 @PowellLeo @leemottershead @nickluck @LydiaHislop It was settled the same day we found out about it and it was an embarrassing/expensive lesson in book keeping efficiency. Syndicates.Racing isn’t going anywhere just to the races!

@tony_calvin @figjamben @PhilipEvsChels @kevinblake2011 @PowellLeo @leemottershead @nickluck @LydiaHislop Many thanks to Phoenix Magazine for their continued support. Last year my brilliant Syndicates.Racing book keeper moved on to pastures new and in that transition period, some correspondence got misplaced by me and led to us owing a few quid to the tax man.

@SecondCaptains @lawrencedonegan @knbrmurph This is so great, Mill Valley for Sam

This is Niall Donegan, son of friend of the show @lawrencedonegan as discussed earlier in the week with @knbrmurph

@FinnMurphy12 When I die sprinkle my ashes at “Paris” Beauvais, the best to ever do it

O’Leary a goated CEO - every founder should listen to this podcast for comms lessons open.spotify.com/episode/5hh7CA…

++ unpopular opinion Ryanair is a superior experience if you care about route options, safety, delays, cancellations and cost (the things you should care about) over getting treated like a little 21st century piggy at the lounge + a caste system at security rare EU > USA win

@garykingTDN @theTDN Some innings, well done GK. maybe a bit late for a rising star performance.

A lifetime at @theTDN 😬. It's hard not to enjoy it, though.
