Most people have learnt the hard way not to bet against @elonmusk . Will they learn or laugh is the question. @tesla is still one of my families biggest jumps on record. And everyone said it would never happen
Fidelity has announced that it is making the SpaceX IPO available to any customer with a retail brokerage account with $2,000 or more in the account (down from up to $500k before).
"SpaceX has decided to reserve a much higher percentage of the offering (up to 30%), which means there should be more shares available to retail clients, which is why we have decided to reduce IPO eligibility for this offering."
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s bat swing has been outstanding. What’s even more remarkable is how beautifully he clears his front foot to create room for balls aimed at his legs. This freedom allows him to play the way he does.
That innings was nothing short of spectacular!
Gene editing is finally here.
And it's targeting the biggest killer in the world. Heart disease.
Eli Lilly $LLY just released data for a gene therapy called VERVE-102.
It completely changes how we treat high cholesterol.
Instead of taking a pill every day, you get one single IV infusion. The medicine travels directly to your liver. It permanently turns off the specific gene that causes high LDL cholesterol.
The early trial results are incredible. Patients experienced a massive 60% drop in their LDL cholesterol.
Think about what GLP-1 drugs did for obesity.
Five years ago, Ozempic was "just Phase 2 data." People said the side effects were unclear. The long-term outcomes were unknown.
Now it's a $50 billion/year drug that changed how we treat obesity.
GLP-1s rewrote obesity. VERVE-102 could rewrite heart disease.
Medicine is moving faster than most people realize.
I’m still in shock. Soma didn’t just have an exceptionally successful career, he was the kindest, most authentic man you could ever hope to meet. And now he’s gone.
He had more of a lasting impact on me than he ever knew. When I was just a confused college student trying to figure out my life, I sent him a cold email asking for help choosing a job. He was a CVP at Microsoft, the most senior level exec you could be. He had every reason to ignore me. Instead, he gave me an hour of his time.
I still remember that conversation so vividly. “Don’t come to Microsoft,” he told me gently. “You don’t have to do the ‘safe’ thing. Aim higher than you think the world allows you to” He gave me, a kid, the courage to believe in himself before that kid had any reason to.
That was Soma. A man who, despite carrying the weight of an enormous career, made room in his day to lift up a stranger.
Soma went on to be a Managing Director at Madrona, of one of Seattle’s most storied venture funds, where he backed the next generation of founders with the same generosity. He co-owned the US cricket team, the Seattle Orcas, bringing the sport he loved to a country learning to love it. He made everything he touched warmer.
59 is too young. The world had so few people like him, and now it has one less.
Rest in peace, Soma (1966-2026).
