I hope everyone in Washington DC and leaders around the globe understand how bold and generous it is that Tesla open sources their patents. It’s a contribution to all of society. And unprecedented.

In 2018 Figma did $4M ARR. Soon after I had a VC job interview where I did a Figma case study. I built a model with Figma becoming a $19B company in 2025.

I didn't get the job. They said my analysis was "unrealistic."

Thoughts on how the best companies compound unexpectedly...

The Battle of Gettysburg: Day 2 🧵

1/ On July 2, 1863, Gettysburg became a cauldron of violence, with 150,000 troops locked in combat across a four-mile front. From Little Round Top to Culp’s Hill, Day 2’s clashes—Devil’s Den, the Wheatfield, Peach Orchard, and Cemetery Hill—produced over 20,000 casualties. Lee’s Confederates sought to break Meade’s fishhook line, while the Union fought to hold the high ground. Heroism and chaos defined the day, as both armies pushed to the brink. This thread explores Day 2, where the Civil War’s outcome hung in the balance.

@michaelbaxter_ @realDonaldTrump I agree not many like the lack of decorum.

But perhaps the $350 Billion of tax payer money for a unwinnable war without accountability and obvious graft needs a shakeup.

"Closed model providers are trying to build non-commodity capabilities and they need great UIs to deliver those. It's not just a model anymore, but an app with a UI for a purpose. [...] The secret sauce is capabilities + UI."

In other words: The App Layer wins.

If the Democratic Party were smart, it would make Jamie Dimon the candidate. Jamie said he wouldn’t run unless he was anointed president. This would be his anointment.

2023: the year of the tech startup shutdown.

And there’s no sign of this slowing in 2024.

Weirdly enough, this presents both a huge problem and an untapped market…

And I just learned about a company capitalizing on it:
