VCs, I've decided this is the career I want to build, and I'm going to do what it takes to break in. I've been a founder, worked alongside 40+ early-stage founders, worked in venture, and spent years thinking out loud online. If you've read my writing, you know I'm relentlessly curious, think in patterns, and can't help asking why things are the way they are. I don't actually care which door I walk through into venture. I care about getting in the room. Research, sourcing, founder support, events, diligence, portfolio work. I'm on it. DMs are open.

Exactly the right time of year for one of my favorite old YouTube videos of all time youtu.be/6AXPnH0C9UA?is=2oOl…

burners theory is true - you cannot have it all at once

AI slop in marketing is because of the following: - very small budgets - department of one - marketing rarely controls spend - founder/CEO does not see the value of marketing - "the product sells itself" mentality

Best usage of a big marketing budget that I have seen in a very long time. They could have easily done AI slop + a phoned in experiential event for influencers but instead the marketing department got to actually create art.

NOTHING IS EVER ABOUT MERIT

I hate SF nepotism sorry

forward deployed emotion engineer

good storytelling is strategically deploying emotion

Thinking and feeling are a lot more closely intertwined than we realize.

I am existing intensely at different frequencies simultaneously.

I can cycle through all of my emotions so quickly and feel them all profoundly, it’s called containing multitudes.
