A growth mindset is the amplifier. When combined with persistency and conviction, it increases your odds of success in a market dictated by power laws.

[didier (🦡, 🦥) @didierv]

Persistency and personal conviction are your compass through entrepreneurship. A growth mindset makes what you do a success.

[didier (🦡, 🦥) @didierv]

Personal conviction helps remove friction and unlocks resources. When you lose conviction, friction creeps in, and progress halts.

@immad Longer gestation period for hard tech that shields them from uncertainties tied to shorter-term macro environment that often affects SaaS/Fintech + growing weariness with the pay-per-seat SaaS model (if value is only incremental) vs defensible 10x better hard tech solutions.

Founders wait! Don't go into that VC meeting just yet.

Meet 'Mean VC' 🚀 - a new GPT plugin that doesn't hold back by @yoheinakajima

Let's face it... nobody is or will give you brutally honest feedback. Don't expect VC's to give it either.

But then there is 'Mean VC' 🧵

For the sake of all the affected founders and their teams that are giving their live to build our future, I hope some will step up and buy this legacy infrastructure. #SVB

The list of billionaires, banks and private equity that would love to own Silicon Valley Bank is massive.

Its very low probability they go out of business.

That said, the folks there who bought $100b in 10 year bonds in 2021, at 1.7% interest are not so bright.

[Yohei @yoheinakajima]

Seems everyone sucks at describing the use case for web3, so let’s settle this once and for all 🧵

@LeasaPurdy @KLM @Schiphol Did you receive yours? We are still waiting for 6 days now. Worst: few failed to reach customer support as lines are not letting you in or just cut you off. #KLM

[didier (🦡, 🦥) @didierv]

@jasonlapointe @KLM Any update on your side. We are also still waiting for our luggage since last Saturday too and no update from @klm. I want to find evidence if some people actually do receive theirs
