VC @SquarePegCap. Most of my views my own.

[Jack Zhang @awxjack]

Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue.

Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR.

We could've died three times during this journey.

This is the story I've never told anyone before:

@PaulBassat Good luck @PaulBassat - exciting to see the impact amplify will have!

[Dan Krasnostein @dkras]

@yonatansela Sending love my man

[Dan Krasnostein @dkras]

Let’s go!

[Amber Electric @AmberElectricAU]

Exciting news! Amber has raised $29M in Series C funding to scale in Australia, launch our EV product & go global! Thanks to our lead investors @Gentrack and Rubio Impact, Alberts, and Startmate who are also investing in this round.

Ceasefire in place. Hamas breaks it. Refuses to give back hostages. And we call for further ceasefire.

Give. Back. The. Hostages. Nothing else should matter to anyone who values life. Then let’s talk about what’s next.

[Dan Krasnostein @dkras]

@PaulBassat It is absolutely insane.

[Dan Krasnostein @dkras]

100%

Antisemitism has no place, and should not be tolerated anywhere.

Not in our workplaces
Not in our schools
Not on our streets

Unfortunately it’s everywhere. Time for everyone to stand up against it.

A great listen.

[Yonatan Sela @yonatansela]

How are Israeli founders handling running a company, serving their country and dealing with trauma all at once? @PaulBassat asked them, and they were so candid, thoughtful and inspiring in their answers 🙌🏼

Hamas doesn't care one bit about Palestinians.

You can be Pro-Palestinians, but you can't be Pro-Hamas if you are pro-Humanity.

Pro-Hamas is Pro-Terrorism, Pro-Hate, Anti-Israel, Anti-Palestinian, Anti-Peace and Anti-Semitic.

[Eden Shochat @eden]

this is Hamas.

"when you built the 500km of tunnels, why didn't you build bomb shelters for the civilians?"

"that's the responsibility of the UN to protect the civilians"

If this is real you can add another disgusting act to the long list of disgusting acts we’ve seen around the world.

The loss of innocent lives on both sides is awful. Only one side celebrates it.

Truly horrendous.

This is real:

@PaulBassat It’s not surprising that now it has become clear Israel wasn’t to blame that the figure has come down. It’s tragedy layered upon tragedy whichever way you look at it, because as you say, that’s what any loss of innocent life is

[Dan Krasnostein @dkras]

It’s been said but it can’t be said enough. Israel isn’t fighting a war against Palestinians. They are fighting a war against Hamas. A terrorist organisation that cares only about killing, raping, massacring Jews and cares nothing at all about protecting Palestinians

[Dan Krasnostein @dkras]

The news continues to flow out of Israel and it continues to be absolutely horrendous, abhorrent and incomprehensible.

There is no justification. There is no "yes it's bad, but..." There are no excuses. This is not freedom fighting. This is terrorism and pure evil at its core.

[Dan Krasnostein @dkras]

@jethrojcohen So beautiful!

[Dan Krasnostein @dkras]

@mkahlbetzer @bengrabiner You are that wise!

[Dan Krasnostein @dkras]

More great news for Aussie founders. Early stage capital from great minds and even better people. @bengrabiner is a jet, and @mkahlbetzer has been around since before Aussie VC was a thing

[Ben Grabiner @bengrabiner]

Today, I'm excited to share that we’ve done the first close of @SidestageVC Fund 1 and quietly made our first 3 investments from the fund.
