@Trace_Cohen It depends what you’re working on.

SaaS no one cares. But if you’re building a jet engine or a nuclear reactor protecting your IP rights is incredibly important.

@davidsenra @pmarca I’d love to know what percentage of A16Z money is deployed in San Francisco and NYC. There are plenty of founders you just have to get of the plane somewhere other than Teterboro.

@MartinGTobias Former IP attorney here. Spent my career hounding folks not to disclose without an NDA.

Never ask a VC, they have better things to do with their time and money than try to steal your idea. But be smart in what you disclose.

@E_Bruxxx @jeiting I love Columbus. But “No VC coffees” makes the funding tougher.

[Steve Barns @swbarns]

Burning tokens at record speed right now.

@esthercrawford Has it worked for you so far? If so then be proud.

@hthieblot @PADeosarran This is actually an interesting exercise. Made me boil a very complex idea into a single word. My Chief Medical Officer had it all along though.

@hthieblot Lifesaving

@mashadrokova Absolutely. It just took me hours and dozens of pitches to come to this realization.

[Steve Barns @swbarns]

@mashadrokova @hun_Reinhard She didn't shield him from increasing pressure from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and state gaming commissions. You need a girl that can anticipate enforcement actions and spread some money to the right folks in DC and Reno.

@adamc0dez It's tough. But it's possible.

@Trace_Cohen Interesting that the Goog has ~$120B cash on hand and are still floating a equity capital raise.

@MorganBarrettX Cranes and coffee is going to be lit

@MorganBarrettX O predict something much more pretentious. Legis or Mentat

@rossiadam A friend started the DC office of a big SF firm 25 years ago. When I asked him about staffing he replied, “We start with a zero tolerance for assholes.”

I of course wondered how he’d keep to that standard while hiring lawyers in DC.

@1752vc @HyveMindx1 Can it help me pick the best 300 slides out of my 685 slide deck?

@emmysteuer Ask about Niagen. It’s an NAD precursor with all the benefits of NAD and none of the unpleasantness during the IV.

@Antifund Was at a meeting last week and a guy I’d just described my product to turned around and said “Bob you gotta hear about this…” and then described what we are doing almost perfectly. I was impressed and proud.

@Trace_Cohen @dlwiest I’d negotiate a $75 enterprise deal for 90% of my employees and tokens for my power users.
