This small video alone compresses about 5 books I’ve read last year.

There’s so much startup advice shared on Twitter, blogs, etc. Heres a reminder for founders taking a bold risk:

“Taking the wrong advice? That can be a missile to what you are building.”

Excited for your next risk, @ksimm! 😊

Not all races require speed. Some require planning, passion & persistence.

True for startups. True for the longest race we ever ran in a day 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃

3 years since & the biggest learning for @runophilia + me:

Pain is temporary.
Inspiration is forever. 🌟

1/26: It’s hard to produce a 3X+ #VC fund. It’s much harder to do this consistently. Our first 4 funds are mature enough to know where they’ll end up and all of them will handily beat this benchmark. I reviewed our portfolio this morning and jotted down 12 notes. Shared:

I read 10 books on Entrepreneurship in 2020 from April-December.

Realized I am what you would call a wantrepreneur.

That said, I learned a lot from most of those books.

Following anyone who is just feeding their own narcissism is probably a waste of time.

You can outsource everything but product and marketing.

Can somebody summarize why it is logical to buy Bitcoin—other than speculation—in 1-3 sentences?

The best way to be successful is to make others successful.

wow! Topia (https://t.co/BjX3rVoH6C) is amazing! Really cool idea.

Just a reminder on competition and crowded spaces:

By the time DoorDash was founded, GrubHub, Caviar, Postmates, and OrderAhead all existed and were venture funded.

Didn’t matter. Today, DoorDash is going public at 4x of those competitors combined validation.

Focus on work so much that you even dream about it.

I wish I had gotten the hard copy.

Went the Firebase route for the personal site and now stuck at the pending status to propagate DNS changes (???). Can probably take 24-48hrs.

I suppose I should've checked the details first before committing for a weekend go live. 🤷‍♂️

[Kalyan @kalbondada]

If I read two different books on the same topic with contradicting views, I've noticed that I'm aligning myself more to the book that I've read recently.

Although it's ok to change opinions as the knowledge on a topic expands, I need to be more cognizant of availability bias.
