Look, I’m not a die hard Toronto fan. I do think the city is unique and special.
I see all the negativity about Toronto Tech Week though. It makes no sense. It’s okay to enjoy life, life is beautiful. It’s okay to have positive vibes, you don’t have to just be repressed. I personally hate events but this is special to me because we see all the excellence around you. If you miss it, it genuinely is a skill issue.
Nothing is ever perfect. By that same logic some of ya’ll should delete Twitter before you get your bread up.
Lastly, on @skanwar. Man, you guys don’t know how much he does for the love of the game. The guy is a certified G but he’s up at 6am personally running around just to pay it forward. There is excellence everywhere for those with eyes to see.
Here’s a good heuristic. Next time before you complain, ask yourself are you part of the solution. If not then whatever you have to say is kind of irrelevant.
Thank you for all that you do @skanwar. Let me speak at TTW next year 🤐

.@chamath, I’m building @AntifraudCo, a startup that files qui tams against fraudsters on a repeatable basis with the help of @BarclayDavidP, a former FTC attorney & @hajsharda, an author/lawyer/antitrust whiz.
Ever since I was invited to testify before Congress at age 20 about millions of wasteful bloat at Brown I uncovered through data mining, I realized the government just didn’t have the bandwidth to stay on top of these things without the help of whistleblowers.
The TAM here is huge — 500B per year. Easily a huge market opportunity that can create multiple unicorns.
