@JayRGanatra My mom sent me the same article! She still doesn’t understand what I do!

@yanda I would go to Manatt and Phelps…. Happy to assist with a recommendation if you DM me.

Once again, our nation is in mourning after a senseless act of gun violence.

How many more Americans must die before Republicans in Congress will act to protect our communities?

An alarmingly large percentage of fintech pitches I get are given to me by CEOs with very little to no financial services background who aren't totally aware they are blatantly violating a financial regulation with their product.

Always speak to lawyers before you speak to VCs

I was let go by Sequoia Capital today. Buck had to stop somewhere. I was the 27 year old associate responsible for copying and pasting revenue and profit numbers from a spreadsheet in the FTX data room into a PowerPoint slide in an investment memo as diligence

Today’s election will determine whether a woman in Texas can make her own decisions about her own body, health care, and future. Go vote.

I'm not 100% sure that the Fed is making a huge mistake, but I am increasingly certain that we are terrible at measuring real-time housing inflation, which is the "core" of core inflation, and it doesn't feel great flying into an economic storm with a broken dashboard.

When I’m governor, we will finally legalize marijuana in Texas and expunge the records of those arrested for marijuana possession.

There's a misconception that if you want to attract and retain great people you need to go easy on them and give them a cushy environment.

The opposite is true. Talented people want to be held to high standards and supported through the hard work of doing big things.

Not to be captured by the latest book I opened, but BUILD by Tony Fadell shows how many pocket computer devices failed in the 1990s and 2000s before the iPod & iPhone sold by the zillions. Experimentation in the absence of easy monetization created discipline and market fit.

New pod: I talked to @IrvingSwisher about @employamerica's brilliant plan to reduce gas prices

The Biden admin is torn between begging oil firms to be patriotic and gas tax holidays. But expensive gas is a supply-side crisis. We need more capacity.

@jeremys LOL. I don’t believe one can build most successful companies from *scratch* remotely at all. And even most of the founders who run a public company today who have remote policies agree with me when we discuss.

[Gopi Rangan @gopirangan]

In episode 26 of @TheSSEPodcast, I spoke with @ashmeetsidana, founder of @EngineeringCap, and the only VC with the title of Chief Engineer. Ashmeet tells us why he likes that title. He invests in entrepreneurs driven by technical insights.
