“It’s all about execution. Belief alone is never enough. The audacity of any dream must be paired with the micromanagement of reality. Preparation, diligence, follow-through and hard work.” A banger by @BillRMcDermott 🔥
There is no greater feeling than seeing what you're building actually impact someone's livelihood. Pro-tip, talk to your users :)
Stay true to yourself and control what’s yours. Never get outhustled! You have to want it more – let’s GO! 💪 #MondayMotivation
One of the best dinners I attended with @sv_icons. Jensen is so humble and down to earth, and it inspires a lot.
Man, nothing like reading @BillRMcDermott’s Winners Dream on a 6 hour flight. I hope to meet him one day! He’s truly a force of nature. No wonder @ServiceNow is killing it 🚀
Thank you so much to @Nasdaq and @Redpoint for choosing to celebrate our $80M in seed and Series A funding announcement 📣 on the @Nasdaq Times Square billboard 🚀 we had a blast and are beyond grateful 🙌 @jaredq_ @sigalitperelson @BorisHanin @adeeshjain @Amanda__Hecker…
@simbajonga2 @sv_icons @CCgong What an awesome group! Thank you @simbajonga2 & @sv_icons for hosting me and for the engaging questions.
Consumer this, consumer that. No companies have created more value than consumer companies. The consumer is still alive and well, and they want better products, software, services and so many things. @ForerunnerVC

We hosted the best consumer investor of all time, the one and only @kirstenagreen, for an @sv_icons dinner. Kirsten is the true definition of an icon and is an absolute badass. Consumer is very much alive, and we couldn't be more fortunate to hear from the best of the best.
an email i sent to myself over the holiday break, reflecting on the previous 6 months, which were some of the toughest of my life maybe it's helpful to you
"We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy" is a surprisingly profound quote. When I ask people who've pulled off remarkable things, it's interesting how many confirm that they wouldn't have started if they'd know how long and…
Got to hear from two special people tonight for an @sv_icons dinner! Thank you @garrytan and @KatManalac for joining us :) So much wisdom and techno-optimism packed in two hours. Listening to them speak affirms what makes @ycombinator special!!
When I grow up, I want to be like @sama. We need more Sams — ambitious, forging our techno-future yet makes times for everyone :)
I fucking love Silicon Valley. The number of people who have landed in the last few years and are already part of the ad hoc social, funding, technical and startup support network is why this place is a wonder of the world. If you have the time, do pay it forward.
The first time you work really hard on something, in addition to the immediate benefit (whatever you were working for) you also learn that you're capable of working really hard. This makes it easier to be ambitious in all your future plans.
Behind every successful entrepreneur is a spouse with healthcare coverage from their employer.

To young future founders starting out: Mentorship touted by big tech recruiters is a scam to make you enslaved If you want to make a successful startup, the only real mentor is the customer

Venture capital is playing the long game. Lux was fortunate to lead Matterport Seed round in 2013 (h/t @Eisenberg @speechu). Company went through many ups and downs over next decade, but built market-leading $2B co digitizing real estate. Proud board member through this journey!

There's nowhere as pleasant to return to as Palo Alto...quite perfection...
observed: the VCs I respect spend most of their time helping their companies that are struggling (or in specific areas of opportunity). while less strong investors try to make the most change and incessantly “help” the thriving companies and founders that need it the least. 🤷♂️
if you're an ambitious person, I hope that you get to work with someone or a group of people that actually give a shit - it's a spiritual experience. here's a little story about myself and my experience:
One of the worst things an investor can do is meet a founder when they have no intention of investing. A founder’s time is the most precious thing. Unless another explanation given (relationship building) and made clear, otherwise, total time waster.
I hate that the startup world puts investors on a pedestal. As a startup founder, it distracted me from serving my users. As an investor, it distracts my companies from serving their users. Investors aren’t the heroes of the startup world.
Checking in from the largest flag in the gundo Thanks for swinging by @drewboyles
