The Badger backcourt is so good I'm getting dangerously close to making some reckless claims. (yes, I did pick them to win it all, as I do every year, but this time it is different)

How does Lovable Hack Social Algorithms to Have Viral Posts: "We have a channel called bee swarming where employees post their content and everyone goes to amplify it. We try to turn every engineer into a marketer and get the whole team posting about things they are excited about. Then marketing puts its full firepower behind the biggest launches to tell the story." @ElenaVerna Biggest lessons on how to make posts go viral @antonosika @lukeharries @eglyman @FoundersPodcast?

Bezos is still under the delusion that quantity of content is more important than quality. This was the guiding philosophy for Vice, BuzzFeed, Mic, HuffPo, Gawker and so many other 2010s digital publications — flood the internet with content, don’t worry about building long-term brand value, just get as many pageviews as possible and sell display ads against them. All of these publications are now shells of their former selves. This model is even harder now with Google Zero approaching. Dumb.

Went to a VC/LP event in Chicago yesterday. A few patterns that kept coming up in conversations: 1/ Most managers here are solo GPs raising $2–20M Fund I/II. Very different from the $50M+ baseline you see in SF or NYC. The ecosystem just operates on a smaller capital base. 2/ A lot of them are former founders who sold their companies and are now looking for the “next chapter.” The narrative you hear often: I built and exited a company, so I know how to invest. Sometimes true, sometimes not. 3/ AI kept popping up everywhere. Chicago is making a big push around AI infrastructure and data centers, and you can feel GPs trying to position themselves around that theme - even those without a natural background in it. 4/ Another common angle: backing Midwest companies first, with selective bets elsewhere. Likely a function of where their LP base sits. 5/ The hardest part for almost everyone is the same: getting the first few investors (the anchor or a recognizable LP) that actually catalyzes the closing process. 6/ Also interesting how many managers are thinking about AI internally: using it to run leaner funds, automate research, diligence, and reduce operating burn.
