Balaji thinks we're not even CLOSE to the peak of social media's power.
In fact, we're just getting started.
And anyone who wants to build wealth needs to realize:
Really like this response and totally agree with @michaelmiraflor. A lot of my career has been built on a cold call/email - much of my first fund Sandbox Studios was. I also now pay it forward and will take a coffee with almost anyone because of it.
This is really off-putting and involves a lot of opportunity cost, given that junior/mid-tier VCs are looking to network over the long term, as should you. Some of them will one day be GPs, and people have long memories.
If you don’t want to take a meeting that you don’t think will be valuable to either party, a form response is fine. No harm, no foul. But saying “VCs don’t contact me” broadcasts a negative signal - and for what?
Sandbox Studios has arrived in #omaha - great #investing tips from Buffett including signs the market is overpriced (#Apple shares sold), climate change is a problem, insurance is difficult, and patience is key. #BerkshireHathaway
I'll be heading down to #Omaha for the Berkshire Hathaway AGM. If anyone is in town and wants to grab a drink, pls hit me up. This is my first time going to Nebraska!
