I want to share some difficult news. I was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and I want you to hear it directly from me.
Treatment is starting immediately and will include multiple strategies over the course of about a year. While I will be stepping back from some of my usual activities, I will continue to support SV Angel founders, who I love with a passion.
SV Angel remains unchanged. Topher has made all of our investment decisions for the better part of the last decade, and Ronny joined as Managing Partner in 2024. They bring experience from nearly every major technology cycle in Silicon Valley and are now focused on partnering with founders building the future of AI. SV Angel has a deep, experienced team that remains fully focused on supporting exceptional founders.
With a more focused and balanced schedule, I can prioritize treatments while helping SV Angel founders at inflection points like we always do!
I’ve chosen not to share the specific type of cancer since I don't want speculation about my prognosis. I appreciate your understanding and respect for this.
I am optimistic about my prognosis. I am fortunate to have the best/amazing team of UCSF doctors in San Francisco, and as you know, I never back down from a fight.
Thank you for your support, it means a great deal to me.

@garrytan Academic gatekeeping has nothing to do with the student. Standardized tests and elite universities don’t correlate to future success.

Standardized tests are actually good, no matter what NYT might try to say here

This story is written in support of a dangerous and unfounded narrative: that Asian students are gaining a huge and unfair advantage at these schools. You have to get to graph 10 for one sentence on the real reason: Admission is test-based. nytimes.com/2025/07/31/nyr…

"The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying."
This is a statement from the United Nation's most senior humanitarian official.
She could not be more explicit.
Her statement is barely covered by the Western media.

@BariAWilliams @TriplePLA2 Interesting. I am the same height as BnL but loved the association since I lost pops super early. I can see that being annoying to some.

@TriplePLA2 @BariAWilliams Never thought about this but I can see that happening.

@BariAWilliams @johnholmesii My name and the II.
When we’re both in the same room and amongst family and friends it’s little me and big him.
Unless you’re an athlete, being a jr into adulthood can feel infantilizing, while II actually feels distinguished lol. Really it’s just a choice.

@BariAWilliams I’m sure there are some formal/common rules that have been ignored over time lol
