Swalwell’s Words: "Flat False." The Data: Elevated Deception.
The Matrix: Elevated Deception (0.53) + High Antagonism (3.16). The Hypothesis: The Hostile Deflection. 🛑

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy.

Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself.

Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.

$MATIC just crossed $10bn+ in TVL 🤯

Just a month ago back in April it was just $500mn

That's a 20x growth in TVL in just under a month 🔥

Kudos to @sandeepnailwal @_jdkanani @MihailoBjelic for building this beast called Polygon $MATIC

[Jonny Henderson 👨🏼‍🚀 @JonnyMHenderson]

I just rediscovered my notes 🙂 Thanks for moderating, @WhitingJess 👏 I was a college freshman, and I ended up starting two side-gigs in college. Early inspiration mattered!

Global 2020 was an incredible & inspiring whirlwind (and one we can’t stop reliving in our heads!). Missed Global this year? Or want to revisit the magic? Check out our recap of everything we loved about #SGGlobal: https://t.co/pUVcOojgk5

"Nearly half of women-owned businesses in the United States, or 44%, are controlled by minority women... That’s up from 20% in 1997." https://t.co/qHlkuP7jVg

[Jess Whiting @WhitingJess]

@rbelani @aileenlee @ECorner @CowboyVC Agreed. It was excellent to hear your story about swimming w/ the sharks & launching @AllRaise @CowboyVC. Favorite quote: “I joined Kleiner ready to learn and serve.”

[Sam Altman @sama]

Best way to make money as a startup investor: bet on people with incredible growth trajectories, not impressive credentials/past accomplishments.

[Polina M. Pompliano @polinapompliano]

Lightspeed plans to raise $1.8 billion for a new fund.

In case anyone is keeping count of these mega-funds:

— Khosla Ventures: $1.4 billion
— General Catalyst: $1.38 billion
— Battery Ventures: $1.25 billion
— SoftBank: LOL
