Perhaps I’m just getting old, but my definition of luxury has changed over time. Now, it’s not about owning a lot of stuff. Luxury, to me, is feeling unrushed.

It looks like 35 years old is the ideal age to start a $400B+ conglomerate:

▫️In 1965, Warren Buffett bought the struggling textile firm Berkshire Hathaway

▫️In 1984, Bernard Arnault bought a near-bankrupt fashion house that owned Christian Dior (starting the path to LVMH)

In 2021-22, I raised a $70M+ venture fund: @thevibecap

Yesterday, I sent our 200+ investors an email saying we were shrinking our fund size to ~$40M

In a lot of cases, this entails sending people back money they already wired us

Here’s why I made that decision:

Hi, I’m Lindsey, founder of Dispatch Goods, a company reducing waste. We’re impacted by the @SVB_Financial shutdown. I spent the morning driving around with my 2 month old to Banks trying to find a branch that would see me, open an account, and print checks so we can make payroll

[Jessica Lessin @Jessicalessin]

For @wsj to say flat out that SVB could have failed because they added non-white men to their board shows how far behind the times (and certifiably stupid) this publication really is. It makes me so angry and very sad. WSJ readers and staff deserve better.

@CollinRugg You do realize all of this would have been avoided if Trump didn’t remove the fractional banking laws that were put in place after the last financial crisis. There’s always a lag effect in major policy change and now we’re dealing with consequences.

[Travis Henry @TravisAHenry]

It���s crazy that Black Death has become (and has been historically) an actual business model. As more info comes out, we will learn that there were another 10+ law enforcement and medical support involved in this tragedy. However, all media outlets show the Black faces first 🤬

[Travis Henry @TravisAHenry]

Black folks that are hurting, please remember that rest is an act of rebellion and we need it now more than ever. 🙏🏾
