“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.”
- Garry Tan
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)
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!
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!
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
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
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! 🧁
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
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!
