My portfolio company @Qloo is hosting a sick global hackathon on @devpost's community of developers (I'm an investor in Devpost too!!!) They're offering a $25,000 prize to the winner... and I'm going to invest $25,000 into my favorite startup there as a sweetener! [ see link below ]

This is it, folks. Absolutely insane lines today. Unprecedented run on Starbucks points. Saw several people redeeming their points for free coffees. One man redeemed for TWO breakfast sandwiches. Manager said they may run out of sandwiches today.

Great moves by @jump_ Great coverage by @blockworks
The incredible team at @blockworksres - and in particular @smyyguy - tracked down a most remarkable reverse exploit and graciously allowed me to write the bit at the beginning and end. Absolute banger. blockworks.co/news/jump-cryp…

All the crazy FTX/Binance drama started because of a strategic partnership back in 2019. As part of the partnership, Binance agreed to invest in FTX and to work together to further develop the crypto ecosystem. 🧵 below on how partnerships can make or break most tech companies

The pandemic upended the ways that businesses approach technology. From remote work to increasingly automated workflows, the role of #CIOs has evolved. @kashmiriboy of @PaloAltoNtwks, @jcfelger and @zsparta discuss in the latest #TheJumpOffPoint podcast: jumpcap.com/insights/the-dig…

💯- if you want to be a VC, go after it. Act like a VC - write about what you would invest in, start a podcast about it!, spend time with investors, make some small angel investments.
Often asked about getting into VC. So often: "I am going to join a company cos that is what I need to then move into VC". NO. If you want to be a VC, think differently, think smart but do it. If you want to operate, join a company. Do not join a company only to get to VC
