Read this thread to understand how pathetic *most* VCs are at generating returns and why they opt towards playing a Ponzi scheme of fees and fake markups...the suckers are the LPs and the employees of zombie companies propped up by these dollars whose equity is really worthless.

If you want to take a bunch of stunning photos with a guide during your next trip, may I suggest @ShootMyTravel?

I’ve invested around $800k in the business and we’ve fallen in love with “Uber for photography” — you will love it.

My friend’s entire company is locked out of their WeWork office because an umbrella fell, jamming the door.

No one can figure it out. It’s been like this for 2 days.

@Jason @DaveLeeBBC Heck Harvard have an amazing free programme (CS50) that teaches people computer science and the art of programming. https://t.co/Nrh23NpAq4

[@jason @Jason]

Harvard is free
MIT is free

You keep saying you can't get it done... you keep claiming the world is against you... that the system is rigged... that life is unfair.

Sure... life is unfair, but you can go to Harvard & MIT for free!!!

You are the only person who can stop you!

Work in 1960: Type out memos on a typewriter.
Work in 1980: Type out memos in a word processor.
Work in 2000: Type out memos in an email.
Work in 2020: Collaboratively edit a task list in real-time while on a video call and responding to texts in six different chat apps.

You can learn a lot from books and podcasts but here’s why you need to still seek out advice from people who have worked with a lot of startups 1:1—

Books/podcasts don’t tell you what happens when things go bad. They will just give you the survivorship bias of what goes right.

[Kunal @KunalBSarkar]

You are tagged with an ID.

Someone else decides your time, place, and work.

You can't take leave without someone else's permission.

You don't own your own time.

Are you in a job or a prison?

[Kunal @KunalBSarkar]

Peak performance doesn't come from movement; it comes from stillness - when your body is moving, but your mind is still.

You perform the best when you are not consciously putting effort in the activity. The purpose of "practice" is to cultivate effortlessness.

[Alex Iskold | 2048.vc @alexiskold]

Founders, don’t worry about the price, worry about leverage. Whoever has leverage controls the price.

[Aaron Levie @levie]

The tectonic shift causing a new era of enterprise software is that product development, distribution, adoption, customer service, and design look vastly more like a consumer company than a traditional enterprise company.

[Aaron Levie @levie]

10 years ago, the combined public market caps of bottom-up, user-led enterprise software companies was $0. Today, it’s $100B+. Amazing how much this industry has changed in under a decade.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Maybe you'll be the first to make it work. But you should at least know whether your idea is the never-thought-of type or the never-works type. And if it's the latter, you should be able to explain what everyone else who tried it got wrong that you've gotten right.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

You have an idea. You check whether it already exists. It doesn't. Good sign, right? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe you're the first to think of it. But maybe it's an idea people think of all the time, and the reason it doesn't exist is that it never works.

[Anthony Kennada @akennada]

I've found that responsiveness is one of the best markers of true leadership. I'm so often (pleasantly) surprised that some of the most prolific people in the industry are hyper-responsive on email.
