@MikeMacCombie @MayaBakhai My phone is buzzing like crazy with links to this tweet. I cannot imagine the madness that is MacCombie’s Notification Center right now.

@fahdananta @PrivacyHQ is the closest thing to this, and it’s awesome.

@DSox I've shared this 2011 blog post four times in the last 24 hours:

It feels like there is a tremendous premium on "consensus x right," but the best to have ever done it are the ones who build independent conviction and pair that with "being right a lot"

@youfoundanisha You should meet @tanthaip. One of the good ones.

@ericbahn The cereal gods’ subliminal messaging must not be affected by rising Facebook CACs or Apple’s iOS 15 privacy changes… @fahdananta and I went down a (random) CTC rabbit hole literally 60 minutes ago 👀

@AshleySLiu Not sure this list would be complete without the one-of-a-kind @MayaBakhai

[Matt Gibstein @mattgibstein]

So proud of and excited for two of my favorite people, @ashleypaston & @shawnxu, on making their moves to @MeritechCapital + @beondeck official!

They are tremendous investors but even better people, and I can't wait to watch them support the next wave of generational founders🚀

And a special shout out to my family and friends for the endless love and support. Especially proud that they chose to feature the quote on my dream mentor (hi, Mom! 👋)

Most days, I wake up and can’t believe how lucky I am to call venture capital my job.

Grateful beyond words to partner with so many incredible founders – alchemists who are changing the world.

Thank you to @Forbes for the incredible nod!

Humbled to be recognized alongside some inspirational peers @meaganloyst, @VPujji, @itsdaniellelay, @Jillwillnyc, @kreiner20, and @talivog 🚀🍾

@mariogabriele @SnowflakeDB @SumoLogic @ClumioInc @kevinakwok @laserlikemike Spend some time w @laserlikemike’s former @StanfordGSB students! He co-taught especially popular course on “Building & Managing Sales Organizations”

tldr; a masterclass in complexity of sales strategy (+ a peak into what SH has done). Told him everyone should be req’d to take it

[Matt Gibstein @mattgibstein]

@lpolovets @jmj Knowing Leo, I have to imagine he’s been increasingly thoughtful / selective about which first meetings to take so that # stays manageable (esp as founders ❤️ Susa)

Curious if either of you have discovered interesting patterns or heuristics in how you think about first meetings?

[Matt Gibstein @mattgibstein]

@mhdempsey What are things/behaviors you’d categorize as implicit signals? And are there people or firms you think demonstrate this care especially well?

[Matt Gibstein @mattgibstein]

@laserlikemike Often feels like dominant strategy is to eschew process or “move fast and break things”

But my biggest takeaway from AMZN is that their success is *because* of process – not in spite of it. Prioritizing process had wildly cascading effects across biz from hiring to prod planning

Personal news: I moved to NY last month🗽🙃
