Today's my 10th VC birthday, at the grand old age of 28 🎉 

Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly of a decade across the whole fund lifecycle, building out new venture markets and using incentive engineering both in and out of crypto 🚨#openlp https://t.co/qCyEdc0TQl

For the last five years, mostly without realising it, I’ve been working on a re-satisfaction of the infamous globalisation trilemma - as set out by legendary economist @rodrikdani 🙇

Today, I consider this solved for the intelligence age 🧵👇

The global consequence? The elimination of race 💥

As per @DavidLSmith_Iam, “Racism created race, racism is built into the very notion of race”, and deleting race through an economic mechanism kills racism amongst rational actors https://t.co/vOIciFuWQ9

Fundraising #51

At some point all government mandates have to realize that a true VC ecosystem has 3 layers:

1. Founders
2. Funds
3. Fund of funds

All private.

If I were an LP the most important question id ask in diligence is “tell me one thing about your space you believe that 95% of other VCs in your space would disagree with.”

There is so much un analytical group think in the space, optimizing for idea outliers is the way to win.
