Accessible leader, tough question, real answer. This is what politics could be. Long SF and @DanielLurie

Was giving a talk to @BostonCollege students yesterday and caught myself saying “so, the iPhone App Store had just launched so you could build iPhone apps for the first time…” They looked at me like I was from Ancient Rome. First time I felt truly old in the tech world.

Deficit going up as I warned if we elect @realDonaldTrump. We need that third party: socially liberal (to each their own as long as they don't encroach on others rights), fiscally conservative (but separating investments with long term returns from spending) and climate risk sensitive.

Has anyone ever actually gotten OKRs to work down to an individual level at a company? I have yet to meet someone who has. My conclusion: not a good use of time

One underreported advantage of investing in early stage venture funds (for non tax exempt US investors) is that the underlying investments are usually QSBS eligible, usually meaning no federal tax. Huge difference in post tax IRR especially when compared to S&P500

Congrats @WindBorneWx & @johndeanl !

One thing that does climate dialog a huge disservice is that there are biased misleading soundbites and detailed IPCC reports for wonks and not enough in between How do we make the IPCC science digestible for someone who is interested but not a climate person?

The IPCC projects a “middle of the road” warming scenario (SSP2-4.5) of 2-3.5°C / 3.6-6.3°F above pre-industrial levels by 2100. With that comes floods, more drought, more heat, more fire, more death. It’s coming. We must build a resilient world or suffer the consequences

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 We are, and remain, and endeavor to always be, the country people want to be from, to immigrate to, and to build a life, career or company in. ❤️❤️❤️

.@avlok (CEO of AngelList) on the surge of LP interest in emerging managers and why Q2 felt like a turning point. “We just hit the perfect storm in Q2; big exits, real revenue growth, and massive dollars flowing back to LPs." "LP investment into emerging managers, funds sub-$100M, was up nearly 50% quarter over quarter." "For several quarters, it felt like a valley of death. But now you’re seeing real liquidity, real exits, and that changes everything." "Even if LPs get back just 10–20% of their capital, it feels real, and once it feels real, they come back.”
