📣 Quick announcement: Applications are open for the next Character Foundations, our one-day founder masterclass in San Francisco! More info and application link at character.vc/foundations This is a VERY special event, and one of our favorite days of the year — it's the only time we really pull back the curtain for founders OUTSIDE our portfolio. • What is it? Hands-on workshop where we share our Foundation Sprint, Design Sprint, and other company building methods with founders. • Who is it for? Early-stage founders! Our methods are based on our work with 300+ teams building products, and optimized for the uncertain early days. • When is it? All day September 8. • Where is it? San Francisco. • How much does it cost / What's the catch? It's completely free and equity-free for founders. You just have to apply. • Why should you apply? a) You'll learn something actionable, b) you'll meet some great founders, and c) you'll have fun! I promise :) Please reach out via comment/DM if you have questions. Thanks for reading!

The first Standard Capital Series A deadline is in 6 days. Cost: ~1 hour to fill out an application (and the questions help you think about your business). Benefit: Raise your Series A in 2 weeks with clean terms: - No board seat - 10% dilution - Post-PMF founder community/support for the life of your startup The value proposition is simple: minimal downside + unconstrained upside.

All of the desirable people - the ones that you actually want to work with, spend time with, or date - won’t apply for the job. They have to be identified from afar and hunted down.

very few people have ever eaten the glass of going from nothing to something. idea → design → build → launch. that full arc. with or without ai, it’s brutal. it breaks your back & your brain. it’s one of the most honest pains there is.

YC keeps doing this funny thing where they want you to believe that a former Groupon PM is capable of making the very first independently-developed supersonic jet with a seed investment of $120k lol i wonder how that’s working out! 🤪 …oh shit

YC keeps doing this funny thing where they know the ZIRP Uber-for-X schtick doesn’t work anymore, so they’re shifting to “”hard tech”” but still want you to believe that 3 undergrad dropouts are capable of making a freighter-capable nuclear reactor with a seed investment of $100k

In less than 5 years, John Fisher and the @Athletics will have made $40M in profit on their $85M purchase of half of the Oakland coliseum property - selling it for $125M. With today’s announcement, AASEG’s 50% interest in the Coliseum property is confirmed to be worth $125M… $20M more valuable than the $105M they agreed to pay the City of Oakland for it just last week. The coliseum sale is clearly a great deal for John Fisher and a great deal for AASEG. But is it a good deal for Oaklanders? Check out Empower Oakland’s latest newsletter to better understand the property sale and its implications for Oakland.
