Launching Karman Line Ventures today.
The Kármán line is 100km up — where the sky stops being sky. Below it you’re flying. Above it you’re spacefaring.
That’s the threshold we back: founders building at the edge — aerospace, defense, deep tech.

@theinformation is a dumpster fire- “Breaking news” a venture creating the “public energy grid for AI” to similarly increase efficiency + reduce cost. Tell me you don’t know shit about the management and deployment of electricity without saying the actual words… jesus christ.

Exchange with an “unmonitored” mailbox w/ @theinformation “…A clear statement that you wish to opt-out of arbitration” . > $400 for a service I didn’t use after I opted out. We’re apparently in arbitration lol. @Jessicalessin @lessin . This continues to be a wild exchange.

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@Jessicalessin @theinformation #plottwist- Y’all can’t find my email or even an account to cancel or refund me but you sure as hell could find it to charge me. Not a surprise most folks I talk to hate this dumpster fire of a company. This is you guys right?

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@theinformation @Jessicalessin still no response from anyone. Emails and calls. What a wild thing that as a #founder I have to report charges from y’all as #fraud to @AmericanExpress to deal with a subscription I cancelled a year ago. Your customer service is trash.

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

Your Zen desk help link is down, your support email “is an unmonitored mailbox”; When the office phone is called it specifically states it doesn’t provide help or customer service over the phone. This is dog shit #customerservice for $400 a year even if I wanted the service.

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@theinformation @Jessicalessin I canceled my subscription a year ago, effectively the day after I paid for it. Apparently it continued over the course of the year, which is fine, however it apparently Auto renewed with no courtesy email, warning, renewal request, etc..

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@andruyeung Do you have any idea how moronic this is/sounds on multiple levels? This comes across as you being a gullible idiot just saying shit. Did you think about this post and think “yep, this is the one. This definitely doesn’t make me sound like a jackass.”

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@alexisohanian VC fights. I’d watch that

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@tjparker I went to a business meeting in track shorts and flip flops last week. And a tee shirt.

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@HarryStebbings You’re not wrong

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

lol. Scaled a company from a kitchen table to >50mil in contracts with an enterprise value > 400 million, and folded the company 3 days before the contracts were awarded. Lost it all, lost literally everything. Moved into a trailer on a farm, fought off a lawsuit and a hostile takeover. Rebuilt. Started over.

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@tjparker Capital efficient and responsible are not the same thing as running on “lean startup principles” running a lean startup as most people I’ve talked to interpret it is a terrible way to run a company for most applications.

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@pitdesi Mast bump.

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

The majority of net new funds do not have a reason to exist.

If you cannot answer how you:

1. Find

2. Pick

3. Win

In a superior way, you do not have a reason to exist.

Traction and PMF tend to be obvious. If you’re unsure you probably don’t have it. This probably constitutes an extreme example

the chatgpt launch 26 months ago was one of the craziest viral moments i'd ever seen, and we added one million users in five days.

we added one million users in the last hour.

@deedydas XL condoms in bulk is wild

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

@jefielding I understand. Did you ask outright and they didn’t tell you? Or did you ask and they told you?

[Phillip Bogdanovich @P_Bogdanovich]

The most wholesome-brag ever. I’ll take it. Can confirm @bznotes is a dope dude.
