I would like to say a huge thank you to @HarryStebbings for teaching me so much about the world of VC. I admire his tenacity to break into the industry, especially coming from the UK. My next goal that I am setting for myself is getting a position at a VC shop.

Britain now arrests more people for social media posts than China, Russia, and Turkey combined nearly matching the rest of the top 10 countries combined

Britain really leads the world on these thought crimes

Insane how the UK, which used to be a free country, turned out to be so totalitarian

Elon is doing the smartest thing by using SpaceX’s current valuation (up 50%+ from IPO price) to buy up Cursor

Time to go on an M&A spree and buy up companies generating billions in revenue to make those valuation multiples look reasonable

HEY EVERYONE

WE JUST CONFIDENTIALLY FILED

[Andreas Demetriou @Europhil2000]

🇬🇷 «Η καλύτερη Ελλάδα των τελευταίων δεκαετιών ίσως να μην είναι πίσω μας. Ίσως να είναι μπροστά μας.»

Θυμάστε όταν η Ελλάδα χαρακτηριζόταν ο «μεγάλος ασθενής της Ευρώπης»;

Κοιτάξτε την σήμερα.

📉 Το δημόσιο χρέος μειώνεται
📈 Η οικονομία αναπτύσσεται ταχύτερα από πολλές ευρωπαϊκές χώρες
💼 Οι επενδύσεις επιστρέφουν
🛡️ Οι Ένοπλες Δυνάμεις εκσυγχρονίζονται με ρυθμούς που δεν έχουμε ξαναδεί
🌍 Η γεωπολιτική επιρροή της χώρας ενισχύεται συνεχώς

Για πρώτη φορά μετά από δεκαετίες, η οικονομία, η άμυνα και η διεθνής θέση της Ελλάδας κινούνται προς την ίδια κατεύθυνση.

Από την κρίση στην ανάκαμψη.
Από την αβεβαιότητα στην αυτοπεποίθηση.
Από την επιβίωση στη φιλοδοξία.

Η κρίση ήταν ένα κεφάλαιο της ιστορίας.

Δεν είναι το μέλλον.

🇬🇷 Η Ελλάδα σηκώνεται ξανά. Και το καλύτερο ίσως να είναι ακόμη μπροστά μας.

#Ελλάδα #Μητσοτάκης #Οικονομία #Ανάπτυξη #Άμυνα #Γεωπολιτική #Ευρώπη #Hellas #GreekPride 🇬🇷

BREAKING:

🇨🇳🇪🇺 China just warned the EU. Back off the "Made in Europe" plan.

The EU wants to rebuild its manufacturing base.

Industrial Accelerator Act: 70%+ European components for EVs.
Low-carbon steel quotas. Aluminum requirements. Local content rules.

The EU is trying to break free from Chinese supply chains.
China is threatening economic consequences.

The trade war just opened a second front.

the Greek taverna is one of the most civilised social inventions in human history

hear me out 😩

you arrive, usually with people and the table is in the street or near the sea

the waiter doesn't rush you

he brings water and bread and olives without being asked

you order in the general direction of what you want - more plates arrive than you ordered because the kitchen decided something else was also good today

you eat across two hours

the conversation moves through subjects, nobody checks their phone

at some point - maybe hour 3 - the owner brings 3 small glass of something on the house

not because you asked but because you've been there long enough to be a real customer now

that the Greek taverna figured out - probably 2,000 years ago - is that the purpose of a meal is the experience of being human in a specific place with specific people

the food enables that

it doesn't replace it

modern restaurant culture forgot this

the Greek taverna never did

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on the Iran conflict:

"I would step back a little when you say it’s a war of choice. There was no imminent threat? They’ve been killing people around the world for 45-plus years. They funded Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, they have terrorist cells here. They were about to get ballistic missiles that can go almost 3,000 miles. They never gave up nuclear. I’m praying it ends well." - Axios
