This was part of a memo from USV investing in LendingClub in 2011. Started to see similar thesis all over again. History doesn't repeat but it often rhymes.

Equity-based comp is usually a huge rip off that relies on employees being information-poor. But if everyone stopped believing in it, the economics of startups would stop working
Please quote this tweet with a thing that everyone in your field knows and nobody in your industry talks about because it would lead to general chaos.

"Investors should always keep in mind that the most important metric is not the returns achieved but the returns weighed against the risks incurred. Ultimately, nothing should be more important to investors than the ability to sleep soundly at night." -- Seth Klarman

This explanation of the affordability/job/income wedge is fascinating. Will be most interesting to see how this wedge plays out in college towns worldwide, with the focus on enjoyment/education. Comments @Alex_Danco @kimmaicutler ?
I wrote about a topic I don't understand very well, in an effort to think through it out loud (and hopefully hear from people who know things): What if building more housing to meet market demand doesn't actually help affordability for those who need it? alexdanco.com/2019/05/22/wha…
