Start.

Start now.

Start where you are.

Start with what you have.

Start with all your insecurities.

Start with what you already know.

Start moving toward your goal.

Start and make mistakes.

Start small.

Start now.

Start.

We are saddened by the sudden, unexpected loss of CEO/founder of Socian Technologies, Marc Ward. He was a brilliant tech genius who touched everyone he came in contact with, with his wittiness and big heart.

To our "Real Life Tony Stark"... you will truly be missed.

I no longer sit at tables where I might be the topic when I get up.

Flaws in research…? AT STANFORD?!

But it’s such a fine institution!

[Bloomberg Markets @markets]

The president of Stanford University, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, is resigning after months of scrutiny over flaws in his research https://t.co/dLP6o0BhVz

Well well well... look at what time it is...

It's @Teremana O'Clock!

[Allison Byers @apbyers]

While I'm an angel investor, I'm also a founder currently fundraising. If you're an investor and you ask me how you can best help us in the ecosystem, 100% of the time I will tell you the best way to help is to write a check or introduce me to someone who will write a check.

[Marc Ward @socian08]

lol! That's awesome.

[Marc Ward @socian08]

Amen!!!! @drgurner is always on fire!

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

Think about what you want your future to look like, and start filtering every decision...

Will it get you closer to this vision or not?
Cut ruthlessly.

And this is the reason to study science and become an astronaut, kids!

[Latest in space @latestinspace]

Astronaut Scott Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit aboard the International Space Station. He didn't tell anyone about it. One day, without anyone knowing, he put it on.

[Marc Ward @socian08]

Exceptional question.

[Hadley Harris @Hadley]

Stupid question: given the public tech markets are most of the way back to their highs, why is still no one doing growth stage investments?

[Marc Ward @socian08]

@NewOrleansVC I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm always so confused with "ChatGPT is artificial intelligence!!! It's going to take our jobs."

Stop it. It's already outdated.

The future of AI is something that most can't even imagine.

Well, I can. I'm building it.

[Peter Liu ⚡️ @NewOrleansVC]

AI is infra built to be wrapped. ChatGPT was a demo that surprisingly blew up. But future of AI is invisible, running in background of purpose built UI/UXs. The chat bot is the flip phone.

[Linus ✦ Ekenstam @LinusEkenstam]

Privilige

Hard to understand privilege in the world.

Watching this video makes me understand my own better.

All I can say is that everyone is welcome here 🫶

[Marc Ward @socian08]

Championship mindset.

[Alex Friedman 🤠 @heyalexfriedman]

I legit think the only reason I've gotten as far as I have in my life is because I lie to myself all of the time.

I will only tell myself I can't do something AFTER I have already tried it. Usually, after I've tried it more than once.

[Marc Ward @socian08]

@Bornakang LET THAT MAN COOK!!!!! lol

[Marc Ward @socian08]

Angel checks matter! So proud of @apbyers for becoming a dominant angel investor.

Angel investing is so much more personal than VC because it's not just a check, it's an affirmation that you're doing the right thing and building an incredible business.

[Allison Byers @apbyers]

Committed to my 11th angel investment and got this note from the founder, a woman of color.

Angels are vastly more diverse than VC and are the ones funding the base of our innovation economy. We're building @ScroobiousInc to make these connections easy and commonplace.
