1/ It’s crazy to me that more founders don’t invest more into their personal AI toolchain.

As an early-stage founder, one of the most exhilarating (and exhausting things) is to have to play all the roles at a company.

@yacineMTB +1 - the “For You” feed on this app should be renamed “For advertisers”. Full of garbage.

I’m back using the “Following” feed.

100% recommend

I’m raising a venture fund to back amazing Canadian founders as early as possible! 🇨🇦

After doing the podcast for the last two years I’ve been floored by the level of ambition and talent coming out of Canada.

If you know of anyone who has raised a fund, currently raising a fund or is in VC I would love to chat and get insights + get my thesis beat up by them.

Appreciate all the insights from VC friends so far.

Excited to back founders with the pod + capital very soon.

Amazon S3 now supports conditional writes

Amazon S3 adds support for conditional writes that can check for the existence of an object before creating it. This capability can help you more easily ... https://t.co/7CEhUc7Cj4

@ShivAroor “[Microsoft] has no taste. And I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way” 😂

It sounds meaningless but you know exactly what he means when says this. 🐐

@ShivAroor Anyone have a link to the full interview?

@SaadMalik Someone on the timeline called us Founder Fathers. Count me in!

I would also have a look at the Business Dad podcast by @sevensevensix and @alexisohanian

Elon Musk: “A company is a group of people that have gathered together to create a product”

“If you think about it, what’s the point of a company existing? The point is that it’s a group of people that have gathered together to create a product. If the product is good, the company should exist, and if it is not good, the company should not exist. That seems fundamental to the nature of companies. Clearly then one should focus on making the absolute best product you can. Otherwise you reduce the probability of success. But a lot of companies focus on things that aren’t really to do with the product. As though a company has any basis for existing apart from doing useful things. That’s kind of strange.”
