Investors I admire invest in theses, rather than asset classes. They come with a data-backed view of the future they want to build. Then they happen to find companies that fit the thesis rather than finding random assortment of “early stage startups” that are promising.

One way to build wealth is by using leverage to juice your returns (on time and capital). Only problem for the average American is that the only leverage available to them in a reliably good asset class is real estate through their mortgage.

Lessons you learn the hard way as 1st gen immigrant: Privilege comes from not only resources/network but just inter-generational know-how of how access works.

Obsessive founders come from all personality spectrum but seem to have one thing in common: Texting reply rate under 20ish min

Developing your early team members: ✅ More about giving them opportunities to become more of who they are 🛑 Less about helping them reverse their weaknesses

Tech investors need to stop investing at tech multiples for non-tech companies. Actually, tech investors maybe should not invest in non-tech companies.
