@AriNewman @jefielding As a hardtech founder who's had to scrape by for several years while SaaSy VCs only followed the same ole' playbook, I'm at once excited and annoyed by these tourist investors.

@A_y_u_s_h_i_X @jefielding Sm/Med sized GPs are rethinking survival strategies as deals + LP funds increasingly concentrate in fewer hands. IMO the physical world has defensibility b/c AI drives step-change efficiencies (which will also improve via 1st party data generated in the real world). Symbiosis.

@jefielding @Beezer232 Too many tech entrepreneurs and investors are focusing on the revolution that will happen in digital realms. By overlooking the physical world, they're going to miss the real value generation + capture opportunities that will ensue thanks to AI. Physical is the new moat.

@mattshumer_ Too many silicon valley entrepreneurs / investors are focusing on the revolution that will happen in digital realms. By overlooking the physical world, they're missing the real value generation + capture opportunity that will ensue as AI infiltrates our economy.

@krassenstein @krassenstein that's a very leading / click-baity comment, given that Americans already learn Arabic numerals (Symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9)

@Kasparov63 Brazil's verdict on Bolsonaro shows us the term "banana republic" is no longer a suitable description for the US.

@E_Bruxxx The next unicorn founder is welding in a machine shop and talking to his/her colleagues to understand their biggest challenges so s/he designs a solution for a real-world problem. Don't overlook customer discovery ;)

100% this ➡️ definition of grit/resilience/perseverance is getting up over + over + over again When a VC gets their panties in a bunch because of the creative (wholly legal) ways I've gotten @HelloKadeya funded, it shows me they aren't thinking big enough

Most people think startups fail because they run out of cash. Nah. After watching hundreds fail, I can tell you: They die when founders lose hope and stop fighting. The money's just the excuse. The real killer is giving up.
