@Giuliano_Mana Any current truths you hold closely that most people would disagree with?

"The more people who disagree with you when you are right, the larger the payoff."

Question: Who’s actually writing seed checks for consumer in 2026? Please drop names

Sent our very own @johnnyfreds to judge some incredible startups @lavalabsai demo night last week – we loved what’s happening at USC.  If you’re a founder and love to build, shoot us a message

The team @ParetoHoldings is loving everything happening at @usclavalab. The founders are excited about what they’re building and they’re building really really cool things. AND, if you’re one of these founders building really really cool things -> then DM @CKraycik. We want to meet you!

The @Lovable team pulled up to MIT last night to hang with the Pareto Fellows @antonosika broke github once fellows - who's next?

(experience * X) + (how much you learn from others * Y) X = how much you're willing to learn from past mistakes Y = how much you're willing to actually apply what you learn from others A wise friend (@guimonz) told me this is the formula for wisdom and the formula for making good decisions This is especially important when building things without a lot of direction and/or in an ambiguous environment. Many decisions need to be made each day and wrong decisions can compound into a long detour Increase X and Y and increase ability to make good decisions

Thank you to Pareto Ventures for inviting our members to a rock climbing session at Sender One! 🦺🧗 It was a fantastic opportunity to hear about their portcos and student fellowship, and to connect more of our student founders with a great VC.
