Piece I drew back in 2019, “Electric Silence”. Thanks @AVABandOfficial and @tomdelonge for the inspo (tributes on the suit). A little bit’s enough.

@MiWiRo @_pshah Thanks @MiWiRo. Lots of rolling funds available on AngelList. SeedInvest is making direct Venture investing available to non-accredited investors under RegA. Happy to chat

Incentives for engaging on social are vastly more aligned with frequency and volume than with quality. We will continue to gravitate to:

- sustainable interactions
- depth not breadth
- community over connections
- authenticity and mindfulness
- collaboration over transactions

Talent and human capital might be the most mispriced asset in the world. Aim to own what you build.

Space exploration captures the imagination better than almost anything, regardless of age. I’m pumped to see what we discover with James Webb telescope launch in 2021.

We always start the year with theme debates, focusing on inflection points. Psychedelics and mental health will be a key focus in 2021.

40% of American adults report struggling with a mental health or substance abuse disorder.

I would love to hear a good argument for hyperinflation in the US. Lots of forewarning happening, but unlike the Weimar case study, the US can’t really export its entire economy.

Seed stage valuations between the coasts are about half of what we see in Silicon Valley.

Expect these to converge in coming years.

It’s super exciting to see the line between idea origination and capital sources increasingly blur. Athletes, celebrities, and creators are helping to build the bridge that will transform the investment ecosystem.

This trend only accelerates
