Some startup CEOs care more about selfies that sales. When I see someone overposting on social channels and overinvesting in PR too early, I get skeptical about the company/ their product / their focus on building the next best thing. #AI#genai
I/O this year was pretty energizing. It's evident we've made significant progress, with an even clearer vision and a palpable sense of focus throughout the company. Demo Slam + Astra were mind blowing! Its nice to see Google becoming Google again!
@JayaGup10 Shikarbagh, Johri and Baradari - excellent restaurants. Suvasa and Anokhi for shopping. Half time for excellent coffee. Ajmer fort and Nahargarh fort. I am from Jaipur (also there right now), DM me anytime.
@Dyson team - I have been a big fan of your products for a long time but your customer service has been atrocious. After waiting on calls for several hours and emailing you several times, I am reaching out here for a simple return label. @DysonUK

11/ Given solid knowledge-economy fundamentals (network effects, risk capital, exec talent, mafias, quality of life, feeder schools, ambition, pay-it-forward), if citizens, Tech cos. & local administration commit to the city long-term, we could still see the rise of SF 3.0!
Great articulation of how building start up from grounds up is VERY different from scaling a startup that has Product Market fit. Also, there is no right or wrong way to build a product from 0 to 1 but these are good heuristics/learnings.
I was a VC in the really early part of my career, then became an operator+angel investor for several years, before founding @workomo. Hereβs how my lens for looking at company-building has evolved from investor then vs. founder now (THREAD ππΌ)
