@steipete @useblacksmith I've heard only good things, will be my sign to give it a go in my spare time.

[David Hornik @davidhornik]

@signulll hmm

[David Hornik @davidhornik]

@hosseeb AI accelerates. That is all that is necessary, those who do not accept some sort of thinking, or develop their own do not withhold the "appetite" that some need.

[David Hornik @davidhornik]

@venturetwins Quite literally. In my spare time i've been messing around a bit. However new excuses should not replace the old

[David Hornik @davidhornik]

@djcows approx. 50 gold coins worth of increased value, now you just need a bit more revenue.

[David Hornik @davidhornik]

@alessandrod he... just solved everything?

[David Hornik @davidhornik]

One of the great operators and business thinkers of our day is Al Goldstein (@goldstein2002) who’s astonishing story is like so many other amazing folks who came here from Russia — Sergey Brin, Max Levchin (@mlevchin), Jan Koum (@jankoum), @stan_chudnovsky. Follow Al and hear the rest of his story.

1/ Part 1: From Soviet Refugee to Multi-Unicorn Founder
Building America’s Leading Short-Term Digital Lender Enova #ENVA (Before It Had a Name)

1988: I’m 8 years old, stepping off a plane at O’Hare as Soviet refugees — no passports, no money, no relatives waiting.

Also known as failing.

[Roy E. Bahat @roybahat]

@davidhornik For sure agree.

Depends how you define failing. It is possible to collect fees and do nothing for years on end.

It is also possible for a person to hang back while others at their firm are 110%.

For an individual VC trying to back great companies, I agree.

[David Hornik @davidhornik]

There is no such thing as quiet quitting in VC — you are either 110% in on the startup ecosystem or you will fail.

[Roy E. Bahat @roybahat]

Realized: many VCs are now quiet quitting. ⤵️

Inbox Zero. I truly don't think I've ever gotten to Inbox Zero before. I've always had some stupid email lingering. But tonight at 1:32am I have gotten to inbox zero. I will now go to sleep and awaken to 30 new emails. But for this brief moment, I am the master of my inbox!

[David Hornik @davidhornik]

So fun speaking at the Masters of Scale Summit (@mastersofscale). Apparently I make faces when I'm excited.

[David Hornik @davidhornik]

This is why I love teaching Startup Garage at @StanfordGSB — awesome teams like the amazing founders of @MakerWineCo: https://t.co/CvSWOk0uqx

Got my new iPhone but forgot that all iPhones are carefully designed to never fit in old cases. I am surprised by how nervous having a caseless iPhone is making me. You’d think I hadn’t bought the bionic Apple Care for the price of the phone.
