“Being a believer is more profitable than being a skeptic because if you're a skeptic and right, you make no new thing happen. If you're a believer and you're right, something awesome happens. Nice incentive to be positive sum.”

@micahjay1 Congrats! Good stuff.

[Katie Rae @ktrae]

Excited to share The Engine Report 2019-2020, showing the impact of our founders, Tough Tech ecosystem & The Engine! https://t.co/TDfs7uJXLu

[The Engine @enginexyz]

Thank you Irene, Bobby, and team for the vital and inspiring work.

[Katie Rae @ktrae]

Congrats! Look forward to seeing you at equity summit!

[Rachel Holt @RachelJHolt]

As for what’s next, I’ll be joining @daynagrayson to co-found @constructcap, a new VC firm based in DC. I’m really excited to take everything I’ve learned at Uber to help find, fund and scale the next generation of tech entrepreneurs. (2/6)

[Katie Rae @ktrae]

Love Shreya. Building an important company.

[Jason Jacobs @jjacobs22]

I also don't believe Shreya is on twitter, which means we need to call on her friends/supporters at @enginexyz, @GreentownLabs, @PRIMEcoalition, @MassCEC (and other hard tech innovation lovers!) to help spread the word about this amazing company!

[Katie Rae @ktrae]

Nice work @Patriots!

[Katie Rae @ktrae]

Greatest game. @yale football. Way to stay in the game and pull it out at the end! Double overtime in the dark. Boola boola! @annimaniac. Guess it was a good thing I walked to the other side!

[Katie Rae @ktrae]

Excited for my friend ⁦@daynagrayson⁩. Great thesis. Rata - November 22, 2019 - Axios https://t.co/oPzAMaiV6o

Thought shared today by co-founder of a pretty successful (highly valued privately) ‘robotics’ startup:

“Most startups who call their products as robotics are not serious about building successful companies. They are playing with robots, vs building solutions for customers.”

If we are “willing to invest into technical risk, the returns could be extraordinary...I don’t think you have to sacrifice return to go after really big impactful companies.” — @enginexyz @ktrae chats w/ @crunchbase @geneteare on investing in #ToughTech

[The Engine @enginexyz]

On this week @greentechmedia Interchange podcast, @enginexyz @ktrae chats w/ @Stphn_Lacey on investing in #ToughTech and how portfolio companies @CFS_energy @FormEnergyInc #BostonMetal #ViaSeparations are tackling the energy challenge.

[Katie Rae @ktrae]

Great article on leadership.

[Bilal Zuberi @bznotes]

This is a special post. I want all CEOs I work with to read this.

“Which way you run is often the key differentiator between effective and ineffective CEOs. Almost all CEOs know where the problems are, but only the truly elite ones run towards the fear.” https://t.co/BSmX0Vgtax

[Katie Rae @ktrae]

So true.

[Sarah Hodges @hodges]

A belated 🎉 Happy Birthday 🎉 to @lum. You are a gracious, humble and thoughtful friend. You’ve shown me and so many others in the startup & venture community what it means to pay it forward. And you’re never afraid to be the first one on the dance floor 💃 Cheers to you! 🧁

Could not be more proud of this team and honored to serve on the board.

Congratulations on this huge development, @CFS_energy, closing $115M Series A! Delighted to be involved with your efforts revolutionizing the energy landscape w/ a fundamentally new power source to meet our global demands and combat climate change. https://t.co/daSvDS24aD

[Jason Jacobs @jjacobs22]

Just recorded another great episode. If you want to know about fusion, how far away we are from it being commercially viable, and the impact for the world once it happens, Bob Mumgaard/CEO of @CFS_energy is your guy!

[Katie Rae @ktrae]

I ask because it happened to my sister where she got automomic stuff.
