I took 6 weeks of parental leave, twice. Fathers have so much to offer families of all kinds by; loving, nurturing, caretaking, role modeling, teaching, and being there. I'm excited to support this movement organized by @FatherTogether Join the movement! #ThisWorkingDadCares

It’s almost as if you could predict the active device total using linear regression. (r squared .998).

Spot on 🧡 2021 saw a big rise in #Climate focused funds, which was long overdue Cheers to my fellow Climate funds, syndicates, and solo + operator VCs @sunrock @clawrence @Zecca_Lehn @leepnet @ct_cocktails @royrod @mcjpod @RayyanIslam1 @danlichtenberg @jm_crowd @kevindstevens
Replying to @Beezer232
Not all funds raised were mega funds, however. 2021 saw the continued rise of solo GPs, rolling funds, syndicate funds, and funds focused on new (er) themes like underrepresented founders, crypto, climate, and impact-oriented funds. More here: bit.ly/34f3Eku

As a user, I just implore you to be patient and understanding when a company makes a move like this. It’s really hard. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Few developers in this scene are greedy. We are all just trying to survive. And there’s no perfect solutions. πŸ™‚ – at San Francisco, CA

I'm working on a project to get more women on Series A+ cap tables. If we can pull it off, it will be epic. I'm considering hiring someone to run the program. They'd get carry. Who are the best female up-and-coming angels and VCs? Or Chief of Staffs to current GPsπŸ™

I investigated one of these big US projects in the north. The completion report was a total fiction- much of the work was undone or useless. There was no real oversight because the highly-paid Western contractors were too afraid to go in the field… 13/17 csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Sou…

11) As for $BABA, $TCHY and $DIDI - look man, the focus on technology in the 5YP is on hard tech and not e-commerce or taxis. These players have moved into value extraction and are taking up valuable innovation air from more worthy causes in the party's eyes.

Entrepreneurs: you do not need to return funds to your seed investors if things don't go as planned. Negotiate something for yourself, and forget us. Seed investors are honestly fine with $0. It's in the budget.

It’s almost impossible to predict the future. But it’s also unnecessary, because *most people are living in the past*. All you have to do is see the present before everyone else does.
