VC at @CrosscutVC - I enjoy stories, I like numbers. And I love numbers that tell stories, and stories that don't need numbers.

@katekiewel One of the biggest arbitrage opportunities today: Latam startup talent. A founder who can build and create in Latam, with all its challenges, is be a top tier founder anywhere in the world.🇨🇴🇲🇽🇧🇷

@callmehouck For the average founder, going to university and learning new skills doesn't hurt: math, finance, philosophy, etc. Even drop-outs (Gates, Zuck, Holmes?) used their university to leverage their companies.

@theryanking As a general rule, I don't like generalization. And it took me less than 15 minutes to realize it.

@AlexAndBooks_ Every man, and woman: One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Garcia Marquez.

A book about love, war, the truisms of life, ,the ridiculousness of living, and magical realism.

And it is the story of a family, that is the story of all.

@wdstringer Being VC-fundable or not does not determine if a business idea is good or not. Some ideas require more sweat equity than preferred equity.

@theryanking What will incentivize the value preservation for creators?

@gregbettinelli @Starbucks Every TraderJoe's in West LA has been missing cream cheese and whipped cream cheese since December. Also almond butter granola is nowhere to be found. Small pleasures gone.

@lauraspiekerman Benjamin Zander. One of the first TED talks I ever saw. If you like classical music, you will love it. If you don't, you may after listening him walk you through a Chopin piece. Sublime.
