GP at @bfc_vc - looking for obsessed founders at the frontiers of the internet. Meritocrat, techno-optimist, and libertarian who doesn’t believe in free will.

Founders are the heroes of capitalism.

If your language app only shows you owls, you’re not prepared for real life.

Husband and I tried Miami for 1 year after living in SF and NYC tech scenes.

Very top heavy - mostly successful founders and VCs who go to live in their nice houses and aren’t out there being part of the community

Tons of larping founders - I got invited to some “female founder dinners” and every single woman showed up dressed for a kardashian wedding and had obviously spent all their time in the salon, not building a startup

The grifting is real - we won Miami Hack Week in 2023. The $10k prize money did not exist and it took 6 months to even get a hold of the organizer. He never paid. When the next Miami hack week came around, I tried telling 3 people in the community. Organizer told them I was a liar and that I had been paid. This bullshit would never happen in SF or NYC.

Miami hack week seems to have a new organizer now so I’m hopeful it’s being better managed.

@hosseeb Thanks for sharing your candid thought process, gets the message across to those who want to listen!

[Ben @monkeybraincap]

Germany is falling out of love with capitalism.

[Ben @monkeybraincap]

Some founders don’t lead teams — they perform narratives. Feedback becomes betrayal. Firing becomes a Medium post.

@hosseeb Would always argue, if the output sucks you need to keep tweaking the prompt to your satisfaction

@VARAMIV Don’t you worry, sex robots are ready by the time you retire 😂

Clarity of thought is one of the most underappreciated skill sets.

@yhbryankimiq So, no free will? 😉

Why again is Europe supposed to need the US to solve 21st century’s problems that happen IN Europe?

@christianmiele Intellectual honesty is a rare trait to come by these days 😉

@hosseeb Fully agreed, turning parts of the immigration department into a headhunting firm for international talent fighting for future tax dollars!

[Ben @monkeybraincap]

If the president can launch his own meme coin as an unregistered security, why shouldn’t everyone else be allowed to do all kinds of financial plays as well?

Hopefully more deliberate than just a quick money grab, or maybe all just a nice parting gift for Gary Gensler 🤡

@sagarbarvaliya How is the vegan selection? 🤣

[Ben @monkeybraincap]

@christianmiele One chart says it all. Energiefeindlich = Wohlstandsfeindlich. Es ist zu hoffen dass unser Energieverbrauch 20x unseres heutigen bis 2050 ist 😉
