A $500M exit is "completely unexciting" to institutional VCs. Sheel Mohnot breaks down the economics behind why, and it changes everything about how founders should think about fundraising. His fund: $140M Their minimum exciting exit: $500M+ Fund math is unforgiving. To return 3x to LPs, they need their winners...

STEVE BANNON: They are scared to death because, I think for the first time, they see that there has been someone that actually made, not just a political difference, but a deep cultural difference. I think that's got 'em scared to death. And I think they feel that if they don't put this down now, that if President Trump and the regulators go after it, and also the free market capitalists, like the affiliate groups start responding to the consumers in their local communities โ€” if they see this happening, they think that's a revolution. They think the barbarians have actually breached the gate. And so that's why they have to put it down.

Former Biden director of message planning says Democrats shouldn't worry about their debt during the midterms. "They are paying down some of the debt. I don't think the DNC cash on hand is what matters here. These are local races and they are out raising Republicans and will be fine. I also don't think we're seeing the need for as much money here. Democrats have won 26 seats in the special elections since Donald Trump was elected. There is a reason for that. People are tired of the chaos and tired of his failed economic policies." Sooo how are they going to fund their candidates in the midterms??? Watch them FLOP all because they didn't have enough money.

Watch this game-changing dissertation on "expert writing." Expert writers write to "think" about the world. 99% of experts write and think at the same time. They use the writing process to help themselves think. This is how they do their best thinking. Write to think about the world. Do this because you care, because you want to be part of progress, because you want to make a dent in the universe. Write to inspire and influence. And when you are finished writing, and you click publish, think about your work this way... the intent of your text is to cause readers to change the way they think about the world. Engagement metrics don't really matter in comparison. Whether or not your text is valuable, depends on whether or not your readers perceive that you have valuably changed what they think, or what they do, or how they decide. One of the reasons it's so hard for smart people to write well is because they don't write to change the way people think about the world. They write to complete a project, to earn a grade, to be assessed. Or they write to publish *their* thoughts without going through a mental and soulful exercise of writing to think about the world, without writing to change how people think about the world. Write to think about the world. Change how people think about the world. In an era of #GenerativeAI, content isn't the end game. Your goal isn't just to get someone's attention, generate reactions, or show up in search. Your mission is to change how people think about the world. Change How People Think About the World. Thank you, Larry McEnerney (now-retired former Director of the University of Chicago's Writing Program).

๐Ÿšจ STRAIGHT MIC DROP! GREG GUTFELD: "There are different people. There are people who, when they hear an awful crime, when Molly Tibbetts is m*rdered [by an illegal], they think of their wife, they think of their kids, they think of their sister, they think of their mother."

Pep Guardiola hits back at critics telling him to 'focus on football' and not global issues: "OK, you focus on being a journalist as well. You cannot talk about economics, because you are not a journalist specifically about economics, right? You focus on football, [so] don't talk about that. That's why. "They want [me] to remain silent, that is what the world wants, right? Be silent, and don't say anything. I think it's completely the opposite."

๐ŸšจCFO Blaise Ingoglia says local governments are LYING when they say they will need to cut first responders when property taxes go away! โ€œIf you hear a local government official or an elected official say that if they have to cut their budget, that we are going to lose fire and police, you direct them to me, because I will prove to them that they have more than enough money to cut the budget, offer property tax relief, but yet also protect their first responders. And if a local government says that you are going to have longer wait times, we are not going to be able to hire enough police or deputies, what they are basically saying is that the last thing that they are thinking about is law enforcement, if that is the first thing that they are looking to cut. When you build the budget, the first rule of government is to protect its citizens.โ€

William got margin called and pledged over $1B of his own stock to fund Column. He explains why extreme personal risk is what makes great founders, and why we see less of it today: "I think that the good founders bet on themselves and take an extreme amount of risk to do that. The extreme amount of risk part is something that we no longer have. But when there's literally only one door in front of you. You don't have a choice, and that fear and innate desire creates another part of you. It creates creativity, it creates inspiration. It's extremely valuable part of the founder journey. And in many ways, Silicon Valley we've actually removed that. I don't know why we don't talk about it more. If you go back to pre 2008, you're on the edge of the knife. We don't create environments where a founder has to bet themselves. I think starting companies are just too f**king safe. It's caused a lot of companies to be super safe companies like, we're gonna pivot to AI...that's not bold, that's not ambitious. It's because we are attracting founders that actually want to be employees. They don't think if I don't pull this off, I'm going to become bankrupt. My life is over and I think that's pretty healthy. That's when you bring out the rawness of humanity and I don't see that very much anymore. The weird thing is an early stage employee takes way more risk than an early stage founder. And I don't think we should actually de-risk the early stage employee. I just think we need to increase the risk for founders. I think we need to make failure much more expensive."

This couple is having a wedding that will reflect who they are. They openly donโ€™t seem to care if anyone will actually go or not. I think weddings are a celebration for everyone to join in for a special day. But I also think that offending guests before they even go might be a decision that will turn in a decision full of regret. So hereโ€™s my take on this. The way I see it is that they are going to be disappointed. I know others might argue and say that itโ€™s selfish for the guests to not go because of the conditions set forth by the bride and groom, however it goes both ways. If they know guests wonโ€™t like the conditions of the wedding, then maybe they should compromise a little. I think they should give people options. I feel that this is going to show the bride and groom who is actually their real friends and who arenโ€™t in their eyes. They wonโ€™t care if the guests donโ€™t like the wedding rules, they are going to expect them to go because they think that their attendance shows that they care and that they are local.

Why Apple is fumbling AI, and how they could course correct (hint: buy OpenAI for $500B) Thomas Laffont explains: "I've studied Apple basically my whole career." "If you think about their defining competitive advantage, it was the integration of hardware and software that led to the beautiful MacBook that we're all using. It led to the iPhone." "And the fact that they were so coupled between hardware and software, the user interface, you know, etc. And I think it directly led to them winning ... the mobile era." "In AI, they're the opposite. They don't control the silicon, they don't control the underlying models." "And so now they're back to maybe, using a historical analogy, the PC makers who didn't control the OS." "So I think the good news for them is, look, they still have a monopoly on users. They have $3T of market cap to kind of play with." "So I think it's way too early to count them out." "What's the most extreme thing that they could do? Just for intellectual sake, right?" "Buy OpenAI for $500B. I'm just gonna put a crazy thing out there." "So you think, okay, that's the most extreme." "Well, is it even that extreme? And what would Apple's stock do that day?" Chamath Palihapitiya: "Go up." "That's my view too. I actually think it would go up, not down even if they did something like that." "I would love to see them be a little bit more aggressive."

Founders who never built companies pre-AI have at least one big advantage: they have fewer preconceived notions about how to build a company. This applies to how software should be built, when a product that people worked really hard on should get dissolved, what tools finance should use, how GTM should work, or really anything and everything else. "The culture is: you don't maximize for your function, you maximize for the company."

Most people think AI content is just "slop." I think it's the future of hyper-local media. Here's why: Traditional local news is dying because the economics don't work. Small markets can't support full newsroom teams. But what if you could serve every city with zero labor costs? I just built an AI automation that creates daily local news podcasts: โ†’ Automatically scrapes Google News and local event feeds โ†’ Generates professional scripts with emotion and pacing controls โ†’ Produces broadcast-quality audio using ElevenLabs V3 โ†’ Operates completely hands-free once deployed The result? A business model that wasn't economically viable before AI. No hosts. No editors. No research team. Just smart automation and a few API subscriptions. This isn't about flooding the internet with crappy AI content. It's about solving real problems - like news deserts in underserved markets. The system I built in hours could theoretically power thousands of hyper-local podcasts simultaneously. When you start thinking in terms of "what can I automate," entire industries now become accessible. Want me to send you the full system for you to clone for your small town or city? 1. Like & RT 2. Follow me (so I can dm you) 3. Comment "BLUEPRINT" below I'll send you the complete n8n template, all the prompting, and a full setup video that you can use to spin up your own local news podcast.

Alex Karp says AI companies don't understand the world is zero-sum. "[Silicon Valley companies] do โ€œthink itโ€™s zero-sum: they think itโ€™s zero-sum versus each other.โ€ "They absolutely are fighting. It's my own rhetoric, but I happen to think it's true: it's going to be chips ontology, and I suspect, in the end, one-and-a-half providers." "They pretend they don't think it's zero-sum, but then ask them how they feel about their competitor... these people are fighting very, very hard for the dominant position." "What they don't understand is that in the world, it's zero-sum. But I actually think the primary issue in the valley is it's going to be zero-sum vis-ร -vis you." "When politicians figure out this is the one winning issue, it's going to be zero-sum. It's going to be your money and your company being zero-sum nationalized. So that's the part they don't understand." "It seems to be very hard in this culture... to explain to people that we're in a competitive environment, because things here are so good. They don't understand how different it will be; and how much we will change; and how much the pressure will be on America, not just legally, but militarily and culturally, if we fall behind."

Alex Karp says AI companies don't understand the world is zero-sum. "[Silicon Valley companies] do โ€œthink itโ€™s zero-sum: they think itโ€™s zero-sum versus each other.โ€ "They absolutely are fighting. It's my own rhetoric, but I happen to think it's true: it's going to be chips ontology, and I suspect, in the end, one-and-a-half providers." "They pretend they don't think it's zero-sum, but then ask them how they feel about their competitor... these people are fighting very, very hard for the dominant position." "What they don't understand is that in the world, it's zero-sum. But I actually think the primary issue in the valley is it's going to be zero-sum vis-ร -vis you." "When politicians figure out this is the one winning issue, it's going to be zero-sum. It's going to be your money and your company being zero-sum nationalized. So that's the part they don't understand." "It seems to be very hard in this culture... to explain to people that we're in a competitive environment, because things here are so good.

This right here from Jason Rantz on Seattle Red is a perfect distilling of what's happening in Minneapolis: "I think what you have here are organized activists in large part, who are creating this kind of turmoil. You have local leaders who are choosing not to ratchet down any of the rhetoric. Yeah, local." "I think that, when you have the governor saying it's an occupation, that is clearly a problem." "I see activists who showed up with chants" "When you've got people who are showing up with the intent to do damage" "You don't think they're showing up b/c they want to do damage?" "No, actually, what they're doing tonight is protesting because someone was arrested and then attacked an ICE agent. And then, I mean -- does that not count?"
