I feel like I haven't slept all week. We're now at $200M in expressed commitments for Boardy’s Venture Fund! It’s mad in the office right now. The team is completely locked in on helping founders, and at the same time we’re building a fund that has genuinely taken the...

Threadguy explains why he’s DONE with undoxxed founders “If you’re a founder and you’re raising money in public, I’m not interested with the undoxxed thing, I think it’s wack. Like it threw me off with Unwise, your name is Unwise and no one knows who you are? It’s sus man, every single time” “I feel pretty strongly about this, we’re done with undoxxed founders in 2026”

Bill Maher on the “f*cking asshole” celebrities who said, “We’re all in this together,” during COVID: “The bullshit of every time I turned on the TV, it was some version of ‘We’re all in it together.’ No, we’re not, you f*cking assholes.” “You f*cking posers. Half of us are getting food delivered by the other half, and you’re the half that’s sitting home in your pajamas and talking about how much ‘we’re all in it together.’” “No, you’re going out to the Hamptons. You’re going to a yacht. Yes, I know you’re putting out Instagram political messages about it, and that’s awesome, but basically, you’re the one who’s insulated...” “If we’re really all in it together, I got an idea: How about we take turns about who’s working for Grubhub? If we’re really all in it together, maybe that should be something that has to get passed around.” “So some of us are delivering some of the time instead of some of us delivering ALL of the time, and some of us in our pajamas ALL the time.”

Jason Timpf has a counter for the Heat fans that are hesitant on Ja Morant in Miami 👀 “What the hell do you have to lose right now if you’re Miami. You are an incredibly mediocre basketball team with no prospects of leaping into the next tier of the Eastern Conference. It’s not like ‘oh if this guy gets it going you’re right there with the other dudes’. No you’re not. Ja is a distressed asset. You’re probably not going to have to send any draft compensation at all what so ever. You bring in Ja, if it works it works and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t…. Bottom line is you got nothing to lose if you’re Miami. I think he works in the system. He’s the kind of guy if everything goes right he’s one that could boost you into the next tier of the Eastern Conference” (Via Jason Timpf)

Anduril Co-Founder & Founders Fund Partner Trae Stephens on the Biggest Lesson He’s Learned From Peter Thiel: “He’s always right and it’s really really really annoying.” “I can’t tell you how many times he’s said something and the whole team rolls their eyes… and then 5 years later Donald Trump is president.” Lessons for investing: “Concentration in venture is a really important one. You don’t want to have a thousand investments in a billion dollar fund. You wanna have a massive amount of concentration in the top few positions in that fund.” Lessons for Anduril: “It’s the “Zero to One” [concept] about avoiding competition. For Anduril in 2017… we went and targeted an area where there were no venture-backed players at all. And that gave us an incredible head start.”

One of the great lessons in life. 'If you’re having fun, then you’re dangerous. You’re hard to compete with. You don’t want to go up against the person who’s having a good time doing it because if it feels like a hassle or a chore, that’s the person who gives up when it gets difficult. But the person who’s having a great time at the start is much more likely to stick with it when it gets hard." James Clear on The Knowledge Project

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."

Fundraising sucks for founders, especially if you are a first-time founder. I've raised for my own companies, invested in over 100 startups and helped 1000+ founders raising money. We had a bit of time so we decided to do a 40-minutes fundraising crash course. It’s a mix of strategic stuff, mental models, understanding investor game dynamics and tactical advice. Hopefully useful to anyone raising money right now. A few takeaways – but I explain it all in the video better: 1. You can evaluate every deal on three vectors: “credentials, innovation, execution”. You want to be strong on two of them. And being able to understand where you stand here allows you to be pro-active in driving your raise. 2. "We're not fundraising yet, but..." is the most underrated hack. Use it to test the waters. If an investor is genuinely bullish, they'll make you an offer anyway. 3. If it's not a hell yes, it's a no. VCs that want in will do anything to get in. The rest keep you in weird limbo with fake homework. 4. "Come back with more traction" is a lie. It means: we don't believe in you yet, but if the market proves us wrong, sure. But there is an easy way around this. Get the right people involved. 5. Don't pitch. Send the deck before. Have a real conversation. Your only goal: can this investor repeat what you do in a way that's exciting at drinks afterwards? 6. Don't raise for long. Three months on the market and everyone knows? You're discounted sushi. 7. Velocity beats optimisation. Almost always. The best fundraising strategy is getting investor commitments so fast that other investors have to chase you. 8. The real elevator pitch isn’t between founder and investor but between two investors. Eg. an associate trying to show off to a partner or angels trying to get new opinions on the deal. => and tons more Full video in

Sullivan: This has been an unadulterated disaster. And it’s because it’s not just about the policy—it’s that President Trump and his team have gone at the core American advantages in the world and systematically tried to dismantle them. Our allies? They’ve trashed them. Our basic confidence in investing in the United States as the strongest economy in the world? They’ve cast that into question. Our soft power—the idea that the United States is a beacon of light in the world? They’ve taken that away. The idea that America is the place that attracts the best talent from all over the world for science and innovation? They’ve made people fear that if you’re an immigrant coming here to study or do research, you could be thrown in jail. So, across all of the major dimensions of the things that have been America’s major advantages, in less than a hundred days, President Trump has put them all at risk

Martin Shkreli says running a hedge fund is the worst job in finance, that a newsletter doing $50 million of revenue beats almost every fund on the planet, and that people only take the job because it's the "sexiest thing" being master of the universe. "I have a friend who wants to start a hedge fund. I told him, this is the most painful, horrible business in the world. Why do this?" "If you start a newsletter business that makes $100 million a year, even $50 million a year of revenue, you've done better than almost every hedge fund on the planet." "You do not want to do this job." "And the reason people do it, and I did it too, and I would never do it again, is it's the sexiest thing in the world. You think you're the master of the universe..." "It's waking up at 3 a.m. checking Korean stock prices and waking back up at 6 wondering what's happening in the world."

After a decade in corporate finance at Procter & Gamble, Accenture, and most recently as a Vice President at JPMorganChase, I’m excited to share that I’m now in venture capital full time as Managing Partner at Velocity Digital. This move is deeply meaningful to me. Over the past several years, I’ve been working in venture across Africa’s tech ecosystem supporting capital allocators as they deploy and helping founders navigate the fundraising journey. This work has never felt peripheral to me. It has long felt like the clearest expression of the work I’m meant to do. Since I was 18, I’ve wanted to play a role in building a more prosperous future for Africa. Today, I’m grateful to be fully committed to that path. I’m incredibly proud of what we’re building at Velocity Digital. Through the platform, we’ve invested in 75 Africa-focused companies, and we’re continuing to build the kind of firm and ecosystem support that exceptional founders deserve. If you’re building from Africa for the world, I’d love to connect. With gratitude and joy, Marge

🚨If the US🇺🇸 thinks Venezuela🇻🇪 will be an easy target, it’s in for a BIG SURPRISE- Venezuela’s Former Deputy Foreign Minister for North America ‘As long as we have oil wealth and other mineral wealth, Venezuela is always going to be a target of the United States, of large multinational corporations, etc. I understand the United States has military superiority…but to think that Venezuela is an easy target, that Venezuela is someplace that you can come in and just take over, you’re up for a surprise. I think there’s a long history here of resistance, of morale to resist attacks. I think we have seen also the tragic sort of interventions that the United States has done even in recent years. I mean, you could go back to Vietnam and remember how tragic that was. But even Afghanistan, Iraq, all these more recent interventions have shown that if you don’t have the support of local populations, if there isn’t some sort of other arrangement, you’re not going to be successful. I mean, after 20 years of the disaster they caused in Afghanistan, they had to leave without accomplishing anything. That’s horrible for our people in the sense that, of course, if something like that comes to happen, and I really wish that it doesn’t come to happen — it’s going to be hurtful for the Venezuelan people. But I think they have to think twice about what really is at stake and how this is going to affect the stability of the United States. We’re not hundreds or thousands of miles away. We’re really close to the United States. And it could have a terrible effect for its economy, even for its own base. I mean, if you look at the base that supports President Trump right now, a lot of the criticism that is coming is precisely from its own base, who were promised that there would be no more forever wars.’ -Carlos Ron on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW BELOW IN THE REPLIES👇

FBN’s Edward Lawrence: “The Treasury Secretary this morning said there were defections among Iranian leadership. Are you aware of that? And is there anybody the U.S. can work with as a leader going forward?” President Trump: “Well, we have a man named the Treasury secretary here, so maybe, maybe he wants to discuss it. Does anybody know? Do you know who he is? Central casting.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “Yeah, Ed, we are seeing the defections at all levels as they’re starting to sense what’s going on with the regime. It doesn’t get reported here in the U.S. very well, but we are tracking them from the air. And the regime will probably collapse within itself. At Treasury, we’ve seen where they’ve wired their money out of the country. We’re coming for that. We’re going to get it back to the Iranian people.” Lawrence: “Mr. President —” Trump: “You’re seeing defections.” Lawrence: “— on Israel —” Trump: “There’s a lot of military defections, also. You have a lot of military defections in Iran. I don’t — hey, I don’t blame them.” Lawrence: “Thank you, Mr. President. You talked to Prime Minister Netanyahu about attacking the oil and gas fields.” Trump: “Yeah, I did, I did. I told him, don’t do that and he won’t do that. We didn’t discuss — you know, we do — we’re independent. We get along great. It’s coordinated. But on occasion, he’ll do something, and if I don’t like it, and so, we’re not doing that anymore.” Lawrence: “And the last one, if I could, the Fed chairman told me yesterday that he plans to stay until the new Fed chairman is confirmed. And he also planned to stay on the board until the investigation of the Federal Reserve is done.” Trump: “Well, he’s under investigation because he’s building a building for hundreds of billions of dollars more than it’s supposed to cost. The building you see over there is under budget and ahead of schedule. That’s the ballroom. The ballroom is a much bigger building. It’s a much more complex building than what he’s doing, and it’s at a fraction of the cost. Something is going on, whether it’s contractors. That’s what I do best in the world. I build. I build great buildings, I’ve always done it and I build them under budget and ahead of schedule. They could have four billion. This is a renovation job for $4 billion. And if you look at the building, it’s not even I don’t know if Kevin Warsh is ever going to be able to move into it. It’s been under construction for years. It’s the most expensive building ever built. Now, I know it’s gross incompetence because I happen to think he’s grossly incompetent today. Certainly, he should be lowering interest rates. All right. Certainly. Who would not lower them? But he’s stubborn and he’s got Trump derangement syndrome. But a lot of people have that. You know, it’s not a curable disease. But — but he’s also building — he should be lowering rates immediately. But he won’t do that because he’s he’s a stubborn, incompetent person, and that’s a bad thing. You know, when you’re stubborn and incompetent. I think it’s the worst combination. And he’s also not a smart person, but he’s building a complex over there that’s under his jurisdiction. He started it and it’s out of control. It’s billions of dollars for a little building. I could have done that building and made it beautiful for $25 million. 25 million. And it would have been beautiful. Look what I’ve done at the White House fixing it up. And I mean, the place was in bad shape. You see the floors and everything. It was in bad shape. I could have — I could have made that building beautiful for $25 million. They’re spending $4 billion. All right. So, it’s — there is criminality. Maybe it’s with the contractor, but — because I know more about contractors than any human being maybe that’s ever lived. But that contractor is a very rich man, whoever the contractor is. And we know, but whoever the contractor is, is an extremely rich man. He’s going to make. I mean, he could make billions of dollars. I don’t — I’m hearing numbers from three to $4 billion. That would make it the most expensive building on a square foot basis ever built in history. And you’re not even building a building. It’s a renovation. The exterior skin is staying. The steel is staying. The structure. So, all I want to do is bring out to the public that this guy is an incompetent — he’s a very incompetent guy and he may be a dishonest guy, but somebody dishonest because there’s no way that building can be three to $4 billion.”

And if you look at the building, it’s not even I don’t know if Kevin Warsh is ever going to be able to move into it. It’s been under construction for years. It’s the most expensive building ever built. Now, I know it’s gross incompetence because I happen to think he’s grossly incompetent today. Certainly, he should be lowering interest rates. All right. Certainly. Who would not lower them? But he’s stubborn and he’s got Trump derangement syndrome. But a lot of people have that. You know, it’s not a curable disease. But — but he’s also building — he should be lowering rates immediately. But he won’t do that because he’s he’s a stubborn, incompetent person, and that’s a bad thing. You know, when you’re stubborn and incompetent. I think it’s the worst combination. And he’s also not a smart person, but he’s building a complex over there that’s under his jurisdiction. He started it and it’s out of control. It’s billions of dollars for a little building. I could have done that building and made it beautiful for $25 million. 25 million. And it would have been beautiful. Look what I’ve done at the White House fixing it up. And I mean, the place was in bad shape. You see the floors and everything. It was in bad shape. I could have — I could have made that building beautiful for $25 million. They’re spending $4 billion. All right. So, it’s — there is criminality. Maybe it’s with the contractor, but — because I know more about contractors than any human being maybe that’s ever lived. But that contractor is a very rich man, whoever the contractor is. And we know, but whoever the contractor is, is an extremely rich man. He’s going to make. I mean, he could make billions of dollars. I don’t — I’m hearing numbers from three to $4 billion. That would make it the most expensive building on a square foot basis ever built in history. And you’re not even building a building. It’s a renovation. The exterior skin is staying. The steel is staying. The structure. So, all I want to do is bring out to the public that this guy is an incompetent — he’s a very incompetent guy and he may be a dishonest guy, but somebody dishonest because there’s no way that building can be three to $4 billion.”

Marc Andreessen explains why warm referrals to venture capitalists are important As Marc explains in the clip below: “The way the top-end venture capitalist firms work is they’ll basically take you seriously if you come in introduced by somebody they’ve worked with before, and they won’t take you seriously if you don’t.” While this may seem unfair, Marc explains that securing a warm referral should be viewed as your first test: “It’s the first test of your ability to network your way to the investor… If you can’t figure out a way to network your way to a VC firm—which of course is in the business of meeting founders—then you’re unlikely to be able to network your way into hiring a great team or selling your product to customers.” He concludes: “The role of the warm referral is misinterpreted. I think you just need to view it as the first test, and it’s a test that you just want to pass.”

A few weeks ago we launched a new brand for Owner — an evolution that much better represents the incredible mission and technology that we're building. This was one of the first initiatives I lead as CDO here and was an amazing process in collaboration with Nick Pattison and his talented team at Primary. We couldn't be more proud of how we now show up in the world. Owner has now driven over $1,000,000,000 in sales for local restaurants, and that growth is compounding every week. We've been on a hiring streak and have welcomed some insane talent to the design team in the last few months, and we're looking to bring on a few more builders — designers who sweat the details and can bring their ideas to life.
