Perhaps the best sentiment I've seen written by a VC: “I want to work with founders where I deeply care and enjoy the holistic journey, no matter the outcome. I optimistically believe if I do that, the aggregate returns will take care of themselves. That's the beauty of real venture capital.” xitter.twitterapi.xyz/daniel_levine/status/2…
Some startups make unbelievable financial returns, but most don't. I'm fortunate enough to have a reasonably good track record as an investor, but I never know which will be which deterministically. I realized that fact a long time ago and resolved to try to work with founders that I love in a deep and intangible way. Folks I wake up wanting to help every day. People I try to help however I can, whether it's a weekday or weekend, a personal matter or a work one, a happy situation or a sad one. I want to work with founders where I deeply care and enjoy the holistic journey, no matter the outcome. I optimistically believe if I do that, the aggregate returns will take care of themselves. That's the beauty of real venture capital. @stevekrouse is a real one. I loved every minute of Val Town and I'm excited to continue the journey with him for another few decades if he'll have me

This, and what happened in Alaska, begs the question: "How many people are getting ahead simply because they share the same name as someone else?" xitter.twitterapi.xyz/FanSince09/status/2119…

From the "pick another protein" senator to the Iowa Prada male model governor, Trump has unwittingly unleashed at least ten future Obamas (unique, generational political talents).

Did a 200,000-square-foot UC medical center-tied immunology and immunotherapy nonprofit, founded before 2025 and with UC campus officials on its board, write this? xitter.twitterapi.xyz/kevinakwok/status/2118…
Prop 38 is so funny because it was written the way term sheets are written to have second tranches activate on very specific conditions that they know will hit

When, exactly, is a kid ready to watch YouTube by themselves? It's a question our parents and their parents never had to ask, but it's up to us to answer.

Basically your job as a founder is to come up with new, good ideas xitter.twitterapi.xyz/zebriez/status/2116972…

The fact that they're running the Stanford Prison Experiment again on Netflix is all you need to know about 2026.

Steve Jobs and Elizabeth Holmes wore black turtlenecks every day to reduce decision fatigue. They also decided that the rest of us could never ever wear one again.

AI-generated posters are going to go the way of handlebar mustaches, perms, or skinny jeans; everywhere, and then, all of a sudden, nowhere.
