17-3 in the NCAA Tournament since

Happy Cardiac Kemba day to all those who celebrate

[No Escalators @NoEscalators]

15 YEARS AGO TODAY:

Guarded by Wanamaker with 10 seconds to go, Coombs-McDaniel on the screen

Walker with 7

Got a mismatch!

Kemba Walker on McGee with 4
Kemba Walker stepback
Walker...
CARDIAC KEMBA!

Does it again! UConn wins at the buzzer!

@nicochristie I live in excel and would love an invite code!

@optionsly @Restructuring__ Exactly. This narrative of “full recovery” is totally unfair imo

[Jeff Noonan @jnoonan23]

@Trace_Cohen Wealthfront. Andy Rachleff had every VC in the valley clamoring to invest from the beginning and it’s been a home run

“People better get us now. … because [UConn’s] coming.”

Dan Hurley said this in 2020 after UConn missed THREE straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Spoke it into existence 🏆 https://t.co/I9X1u3z5hf

@Rebrand_As_Y Kind of a false comparison though, no? Grubhub was just eCommerce rails - they didn’t provide any of the actual delivery infrastructure like DoorDash and Uber Eats do. Very different biz, and obviously the delivery infra is the killer ingredient

[Jeff Noonan @jnoonan23]

@p_millerd Agreed. Also prepares their org structure for a future where employees go from people managers to AI agent managers as base-level knowledge work gets automated

@p_millerd Shopify taking your advice to finally keep your “Tom Brady’s” at QB instead of promoting them to Head Coach

[tobi lutke @tobi]

We spend a lot of time on how to build a better company and better company systems.

One thing that has always been in the way of building world class products is the traditional setup of the "corporate ladder" - it means that the best people end up managing instead of directly working on product.

I've seen the traditional ladder described as "peter principling at scale" and friends joke that the best place to hire great engineers is other companies' management layers. This is all silly and we can do better.

We are solving this at Shopify with the ~Mastery system, which we are rolling out internally today. We will share our learnings as time goes on.

Tristen Newton season 3PT season stats:

15/40 = 38% shooting thru Kansas
21/80 = 26% since Kansas

What is going on?

I'm 39 today.

I'd love if people who enjoyed my book would help by retweeting and sharing!

I'm getting better at directly asking for support and I figured this is a good day to ask :-)

The undisputed basketball capital of the world

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

The @UConnMBB Huskies have scored 70+ points, won by 10+, outrebounded by 5+ & allowed fewer than 10 threes in 12 straight games.

Only one other D-I team (Men's or Women's), NBA or WNBA team has had such a streak this century:

@UConnWBB during the 2007-08 season (also 12).

@gregisenberg Sorry Greg but you’re overfitting your narrative here. Not a single member of the board who fired Sam is a VC

[Jeff Noonan @jnoonan23]

On a risk-adjusted basis a credible argument can be that Sequoia’s Series B was actually the best performing investment. Clearly MOIC doesn’t tell the whole story of investment performance!

Check out the full detail in my latest blog post. Link in bio.

On Friday Loom announced an agreement with Atlassian to be acquired for $975M. Unquestionably, this was a great outcome for the founders, team, and most all investors. To quantify the outcome for investors I’ve seen a table similar to the one below circulating X:

[Jeff Noonan @jnoonan23]

The Seed 1 investment still looks top, but now Kleiner’s Series A looks much better. But what about risk?
