Founders and VCs, please find your tribe. You need to have peers you can go to and vent to, party with, and ask confidential questions. That last part is so important. The ability to call a peer and ask "How much carry did you get" or "what was on your term sheet" is needed

LA is where it’s at.

Finishing up my internship with Mark Hasebroock this week and I cannot speak highly enough about this team! If you are building a startup outside of the coasts I highly recommend reaching out. Thank you @AMidwestVC @GBeaufait D Mann, Allie, Kalli Mustard for everything!

Thought the Lakers would win it all this year. Bron might need to push Space Jam 2 out to Summer '22

Dbook out for blood tonight

Nets are winning it all this year

The reason the Lakers are a 7 seed is the same reason they’re a 1st round exit. You can’t solve for injuries.

Your network is your net worth so long as you can learn something from your network. What you know and what you can do still matters.

Excited to announce I’ll be joining the investment team at @UrbanInnoFund starting this week! Home base will be in LA but in SF until Thursday. Would love to connect with founders and investors interested in the future of cities while in town!

I’ve always felt a bit hesitant to get back to working out of an office, but I will say shared spaces are pretty cool. Spent the week @SHACK15ldn in The Ferry Building and wish I could work here more often than not. Any cool flex offices in LA?

What a team to be a part of! Just getting started!

Complained yesterday about it never raining in LA just to get drenched this morning walking the dog. I guess universe overheard me 🙄

So excited about this company. I’m new to VC and learning more about this industry daily, but already feel like this will be a game changer for emerging fund managers! samir kaji & Hana Yang are truly on to something special.

Favorite player since Kevin Garnett. Let’s get this man a ring!

Praying for Haiti. A history of triumph but such a long history of not being able catch a break.

Not gonna lie, San Francisco is growing on me just a little bit

Now this is an NFT application I can get excited about. Great article from Rex Salisbury
