I’m new to VC and to be transparent, I get super nervous when I meet founders. They’re brilliant and courageous folks. And I just hope I can hear their vision and articulate it to sell internally.

We're thrilled to announce the new Drive Capital Seed Program, an $80M allocation to support early-stage founders in the *still* underinvested region between the Rockies and Hudson River.

@chandanmaruthi Appreciate it man! Great conversations!

A huge shout out to @markellbaldwin for helping me understand VC talk. Very few VCs take time to really engage with founders. If you are in AI and raising you should speak with Markel. Highly recommend. 👍👍👍

@EasyMonies Skin to skin!!! Wow. Big big congratulations to you and your family!

@Propllrhead @Nils_Root You got my buy in!

@rubenharris Nice! It was cool seeing his come up in Chicago And that’s a totally fair point on the overall game. I do think the Celtics will be a more entertaining match up to gsw

@markellbaldwin Been a fan since I used to live in Chicago and he played for the Bulls. To his credit, he did bring the ball back slow in those last few seconds but the whole game was sloppy imo

Dang! That Butler 3 pointer...

@rubenharris They operated out of desperation for the last 7 min. I’m a big Jimmy fan so was bummed to see the collapse in composure

@markellbaldwin I understand the logic but agree with you
