It can be intimidating putting yourself out there for everyone to judge on social media. @NWischoff is an inspiration and truly the gold standard of putting out useful, thoughtful content and leveraging her platform to bring everyone up around her. The proof is there👇
The single best investment of time I've made building a brand for a new venture firm has been leveraging social media. Authenticity scales. And it's free. 2023 Growth: X followers: 41k --> 77k TikTok followers: 7k --> 36k Linkedin: 3k --21k (20% with founder titles) Results: 1 new investment in Fund II 18 design partners for our port cos 11 new hires for our port cos 57 new LP introductions Countless new VC relationships Countless podcast and speaking invitations

I love the clip starting @ 4:22 from the recent @lexfridman interview with @JeffBezos. I'm curious what innovations will "be pulled forward in time" due to the major investments in AI.
Here's my conversation with @jeffbezos, founder of Amazon and Blue Origin. This is his first time doing a long-form conversation of this kind, and it was an epic one. It's here on X in full & is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else.

This is why a great deal of value will accrue to the application layer. The cloud stack followed a very similar trajectory.
A brilliant analysis by @chamath on future value creation opportunities based on generative AI: “Most of the money made off the invention of refrigeration wasn't by the makers, but companies like Coke. If AI/LLMs are refrigeration, who is next Coca-Cola?”

What an incredible accomplishment on the first @relativityspace launch!
Today’s launch proved Relativity’s 3D-printed rocket technologies that will enable our next vehicle, Terran R. We successfully made it through Max-Q, the highest stress state on our printed structures. This is the biggest proof point for our novel additive manufacturing approach. Today is a huge win, with many historic firsts. We also progressed through Main Engine Cutoff and Stage Separation. We will assess flight data and provide public updates over the coming days. #GoodLuckHadFun

$Nu continues to show incredibly impressive growth despite macro conditions and the political climate in Brazil. Product portfolio still young and regional expansion efforts will be interesting to track. #nubank #latam #fintech #brazil #colombia #mexico

Well this is wild...
Everyone wants a glimpse of the Chinese spy balloon, it’s gonna be THE raging internet trend for the next few days assuming the air force doesn’t shoot it down. If you’re not on your lawn getting noisy shots of every speck in the sky, you’re missing out.

Pretty insane stat: 25% of Fintechs worldwide are LATAM-based according to @POpenbanking. Maybe overheated, but very bullish over the next decade. pages.prometeoapi.com/hubfs/… #latam #mexico #brazil #colombia #fintech

#healthcare seems poised for a major explosion in growth over the next few years, especially considering its stability in recessions. Anecdotally, I've seen a significant uptick in investor interest...

A mentor recently told me: A bamboo tree takes five years to grow. It doesn't break through the ground for five years. After five years, once it breaks through the ground, it will grow 90 feet tall in five weeks. To founders and hustlers out there: keep watering the tree.
