10x growth people seem about as rare to me as 10x engineers not 5x growth people, truly exceptional 10x'ers that can do it across multiple products. requires a lot of hard skills + scrappiness that i respect a lot
excited for when ai reasoning becomes more generalizable have seen many incredible product launch videos that capture the imagination of the public, only to find out later that llm's were trained on the specific examples in the demo (not generalizable) optimistic for progress!
what are some of your favorite examples of great personal websites?
must-read for anyone interested in vc! all proceeds go to charity i'm a proud contributor to the eng tools section

packed house at @AforeVC FIR investor showcase!
in a noisy tech environment, people who can communicate with brevity / succinctness / clarity of thought have a big advantage people who have strong opinions and can explain them in a simple way tend to attract great teammates, funding, customers, etc
we're recruiting founders-in-residence at afore! looking for exceptional people at the earliest stages of their company-building journeys - if you’re tinkering on stuff, considering leaving your job to start something, or full-time on an idea, read more below 👇

a good measure of "high conviction" for an investor is when you're starting to consider working for the founder :)
it's very worthwhile being protective over your company / personal brand - takes a while to build up but can be destroyed overnight
a misconception about pre-seed investing is that because you're making a big bet on the founder, the analysis you can do is limited but there are ways to be disciplined about diligencing the founder, calling their customers / old colleagues, and finding their unique edge
what are some examples of investors that have gone on to start successful companies?
a lot of great founders seem to be able to do two things very well: 1. be very ambitious / have a big vision 2. also be able to execute in the short-term everyone spikes towards one of these, covering both (either yourself or through your team) is an advantage
a successful tech operator told me they felt like they made better angel investments when they had no money (vs when they had more) scarcity of capital forced them to invest only if they had huge conviction cool counterpoint to the metaphor of angel investing = lottery tickets
lots of big vc funds seem to operate more like solo gp's (where one person has control and hires a bunch of people to support), than true equal partnerships
i'm appreciating the really thoughtful touches in customizations for ai-driven type-ahead here. Seems more controllable/confidence-inspiring than the rote "we fine tune a model on your emails" approach or blind few-shot prompting.
