Not everything should be visible on a blockchain.
It's time to redefine onchain privacy.

Can you believe that there’s no way to get in touch with a real human via messages let alone live on the phone for an urgent safety issue @lyft @AskLyft? No response yet, and I’ve waited since last Friday.

[Jenny Fielding @jefielding]

So, I wrote a book! It's basically a love letter to everyone brave enough to buck convention and start something hard. Pre-sales open today for friends, founders and trolls alike!♥️

1/ we are about to see an explosion of software and services focused on the world of physical infrastructure, especially data centers

Cee Cee and team embody the very best parts of Bay Area VC: finding crazy people doing even crazier things , amplifying them with a supportive community, having unshakeable faith in them and throwing the occasional curveball to shake them up. Unique opportunity!

The world needs 10x more scientist-founders.

5050 helps scientists and engineers become great founders and start indispensable companies.

Applications open!

Startups are the best way to make a real impact with research, but where do you get started? How do you know if entrepreneurship is for you?

Whether you’re validating an idea or ready to build — 5050 is for you.

You’ll learn what it takes to become a great founder, how to choose the right problem, technology, and market, and how to build a deep tech startup.

“It’s a cheat code for starting a deep tech startup.”
– @ChEMcShane, 5050 alum.

• @ChEMcShane and Evan spun out of Stanford and co-founded Electroflow to tackle the lithium shortage. They’ve scaled their tech by 200x in 6 months.

• @markwbudde joined 5050 as a postdoc at Caltech. Two years later, @plasmidsaurus enables scientists across all 50 states and most European countries to go much faster.

• Niccolo joined as a Tesla engineer. Three months later, he co-founded Clippership and is building autonomous sailboats to decarbonize maritime shipping.

• Chi and @tayshin0827 joined as postdocs at MIT. Within weeks, they spun out and are now working to enable in vivo cell reprogramming.

At @fiftyyears, we’ve built deep tech companies ourselves. We’ve backed over 100 deep tech startups from the earliest stages and helped them raise over 4.6 billion dollars.

We distilled everything we know about deep tech startups into 5050: a free program to help world-class scientists and engineers start indispensable companies.

Phase I: Explore
We’ll help you answer: How do I turn my breakthrough science into a business? What do I need to make a startup idea work? Am I ready to be a founder?

You’ll learn if entrepreneurship is right for you, identify the idea to build, and pivot quickly if necessary. We’ll guide you through the early days of building in deep tech.

At the end of Explore, those ready to build a startup will be invited to the next phase, Build.

Phase II: Build
You’ll join a cohort of fast-moving founders who will challenge you to ramp up. We’ll coach you to level up into a great founder and guide you through the early days of building in deep tech. Build will help you de-risk your technology, hit key milestones, raise a first round, and reach takeoff speed fast.

Helping great scientists and engineers become great entrepreneurs is our jam.

@susanthesquark So sweet. To get a love note from my own mother in my lunchbox?! This adorable possibility wasn’t even in my awareness.

@momofuku Make sure you all check out all these amazing AAPI-run small businesses, each with their own delicious chili crunch sauces:

[Simu Liu @SimuLiu]

Hey @momofuku, I hear you're bullying businesses over use of the term 'chili crunch'. As Chief Content Officer of MiLa, I propose a blind taste test of both our 'chili crunch' sauces. Winner keeps the name, loser (it'll be you) backs off.

Game on? ;)
