@LindequeDavid @interaction How’d it book your trip end to end? Curious! And how did it contain the scam attempt? 🤩

@arampell @dhaber @a16z I love that you set clear milestones! I recall you did the same with me also. (I pitched 200+ investors for my rounds, and only a few stand out.)

@gregisenberg I had a famous lead investor do 6wks hardcore DD on a 7-fig Seed round, then pulled plug when GP decided he just didn’t like the category.

@johnloeber Of course it’s AI. Without it, ‘bodies in seats’ were useful to grind through menial work, writing code / doing configuration without inventing anything. AI has replaced the need for that part of the labor force.

@VictorTaelin What would it do? Only answer questions? Whose questions? Will it break information barriers? Is it fine tuned for the individual?

@hthieblot @dunkhippo33 Or work to sell the assets - nice feeling to complete what you started, so to speak, even if it doesn’t lead to any financial outcome.

@GuyTalksFinance @PrintedRiffs @GrantCardone Most countries don’t charge high property taxes to fund local schools, etc. it also means rich suburbs get richer and poor suburbs get poorer. It’s not the only way.

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

@ivanburazin A) ever had to chase down everyone for a signature? B) Not everything always goes to plan, & you can’t vet all shareholders equally. It increases the chances you have dissenting voices on your cap table. That, or, you can’t make everyone happy… C) you’re eff running a public co
