@MartinGTobias@paulg is that not a poor use of capital? you’re investing into a high potential/high growth startup. they should be reinvesting into their own capabilities or investing in growth
I voted for Zohran last week. I grew up in NYC. I went to one of the specialized high schools as he did. He wasn’t my first choice in the primary, but a few things can be true.
1. He seems like a good person who is willing to listen and change his positions. We’ve seen this on some YIMBY stuff.
2. He’s young. We need new blood in politics. We can’t keep electing people who don’t know how the internet works.
3. He genuinely loves New York and wants to solve problems. I think he’s wrong on things. He will be wrong on things and make mistakes. But he approaches politics from a position of loving the city.
4. So much of governance at the city level is caring about “small” things. Like improving the permitting for food carts so halal carts don’t have to rent them on the black market. That matters!
Go vote tomorrow if you haven’t already and make sure you vote yes on props 2-4 to support more housing development.
@arian_ghashghai ok but how about controlling your launch strategy? the early momentum can be important. if u have the luxury of building in stealth as u find PMF, sounds rational
@origoinvest@sigmazerocap meh, i think the conclusion from starting an ecomm biz on SHOP is that it’s incredibly difficult and most brands do fail. theres frankly not that many successful dtc ecomm brands
@georgejcip@rev_cap@BillAckman he grew up privileged but he wasn’t born a billionaire dude. to discredit his business building skills is intellectually dishonest
