I'm deeply grateful 🙏 to share that Alpaca has raised a $150 million Series D, valuing the company at $1.15 billion 🦙 🚀 This fundraise was especially humbling because of the level of interest. The round was very oversubscribed, with strong enthusiasm from a wide range of investors around...

Elon Musk on raising capital: “You have to show investors that you’re all in” “Tesla almost died in 2008,” Elon explains. “The recession was particularly difficult for car companies, and in the summer of 2008 we had to raise a big funding round. But because of the collapse in the financial system, that funding round didn’t happen and we had to piece together money to keep the company going from myself and existing investors. We were able to complete a financing round that was just barely enough to keep the company going, and we closed it on the last hour of the last day that it was possible to do so. It was Christmas Eve 2008 at 6pm . . . and we would have run out of money a few days after Christmas.” Elon continues: “So while things are going really well these days, I think it’s always important to remember that when you’re creating a company, there are very dark times and it’s about getting through those dark times. That’s the difference between success and failure.” He offers the following advice to aspiring founders: “A company is a group of people gathered together to create a product or service. That’s really all a company is. So you have to really believe in what you’re creating and know in your heart and mind that this is something that matters and that the world ought to have.” Believing whole-heartedly in what your building is especially important for raising capital, Elon argues: “I think it’s important to show investors that you’re all in. For example with Tesla, the fact that I invested all the money I had and was all in — I literally had to borrow money from friends to pay rent in 2008 — made a huge difference to investors and convinced them to invest in Tesla at the same time that GM and Chrysler were going bankrupt. I think you have to show them that you really care, that you’ve got skin in the game, and that you’ve given it everything you’ve got. Then the other people at the company will follow suit, as will investors. I did that at both SpaceX and Tesla and think that’s really fundamental.” Elon also urges founders to only hire people who are passionate about what you’re building: “When you hire people, what you’re really trying to do is convince people to join you in the endeavor. You should hire people who are also passionate about what you’re doing . . . they need to really care about what they’re doing. Then they will stay during the dark times.”

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

"They hear about Coldcard and go, Bitcoin's been hacked" James Butterfill on the impression the Coldcard hack has left on investors "This is the first question that comes up among investors. They hear about Coldcard and go, okay, well that's it, Bitcoin's been hacked. Clearly it hasn't, but that is the inference, and then they try to dismiss the whole asset completely" "I think that's an incredibly misguided view" "Partly because the Coldcard hack, although it's harsh for the people involved, was what, two and a half to three thousand Bitcoin in total, not a huge amount of Bitcoin that was vulnerable"

A jaw-on-the-floor moment for the whole team was when we had taught the robot to pick up a baggie and shake a usb-brick out with the left hand. During one rollout, it decided to do it with the right hand—and we all stopped. We were stunned, because no one taught it to do that. This was one of the first models with our pretrained base, and it was the moment we realized there was something here that was very different from what any of us had ever built before. We now know this to be part of the improvisational intelligence that emerges with large-scale pretraining on real manipulation data, and it continues to be one of the things that we believe to be worth pushing forward as capability. Our CTO and cofounder Andy Barry joined Association for Advancing Automation to share more about these moments, and how his time at Boston Dynamics and the Broad Institute drove him to focus on building the 🧠 for robots at Generalist.

Dre Greenlaw was asked what is it about being a Niner that feels home for him: “It’s the relationships that I built in that building. From top to bottom. With the Yorks, with John Lynch, Kyle Shanahan. It really sucked to have to go through the offseason and what had went down because the whole year I was to listening to my son go “49ers Faithful ride with me” and he’d be like “put the 49ers song on!”. And I’m like 'Man, you gotta cut that off. I’m over here playing for the Broncos and you over here wanting to listen to the 49ers song'.” 😂 🎥: The Set with Terron Armstead

Every conversation that bridges learning and real-world impact in medicine reminds me why I love what I do. I was honoured to be part of the maiden edition of Blossom by The Medics Lounge, serving as a panelist on the theme: “From Academia to Practice: Building Sustainable Careers and Global Opportunities in Medicine.” It was such a rich and insightful discussion — from the rise of AI in medicine to other pressing issues shaping the future of healthcare. Grateful to have shared the space with brilliant minds with a shared passion for advancing medicine.

‘it is.’ was released 10 years ago today. The album to me was meant to talk about what everything is. It just ‘is’. Whether you do it or don’t. So why not do it? “You are a human being, so ‘be’.” Things will continue to change around me as well as within me. All I can do is try to be what I want to be more and more everyday. And continue to send out my communications through music. I’m grateful to everyone that has received and/or will receive the messages in the future. Thank you to all who have supported and will support in the future — love y’all.

After almost 10 years, I’ve decided it’s time for something new. My time at Shopify has truly been life-changing — it’s been a place of growth, challenge, creativity, and lifelong relationships. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most talented, thoughtful, and driven people I’ve ever met. I’m incredibly proud of what we built together, and for the experience I get to take with me. To everyone I’ve worked with: thank you. I am eternally grateful for the support, guidance, trust and opportunity that has been so graciously offered to me over almost a decade. True story — what started as a question "hey, do you know anything about hardware" (to which I answered honestly: no) lead to a multi-year initiative to hire a team, develop a strategy and deliver a portfolio of Red Dot award-winning payments devices. From introducing the concept of sales channels to Shopify, leading the design teams who built the first versions of Frenzy and Arrive (which became Shop), standing up a sibling design system to Polaris specifically for Retail environments (which is still used today), redesigning the entire POS platform (apps, platform, hardware, packaging, and the first physical Shopify spaces), and later leading the team responsible for merchant acquisition, onboarding, guidance and success in the admin — to name just a few — it's hard to think of a part of Shopify's platform that I didn't have the privilege to lead or influence. I'm also grateful for the opportunity I had to influence the culture: from introducing critique standards, guidelines and frameworks for quality, redesigning our hiring process, supporting the transition to remote work, influencing the constant evolution of the design practice over the years, speaking at our annual Summit conference multiple times, and working externally with partners, merchants and acquisitions. I’m leaving with a full heart, gratitude for the trust and opportunities granted to me again and again, and a conviction that everyone deserves to experience entrepreneurship. For now, I'm heads down building a few ideas, getting hands on again with the craft, and spending some time this summer with my family. I'm excited to discover what could be next for me — hit me up if you're interested in connecting over what that might be 💚

“A year ago, none of this existed. We didn’t have the conflict resolved. The Board of Peace didn’t exist. Nobody knew what the International Stabilization Force was because it didn’t exist. And there was no National Committee for Gaza because it didn’t exist. What you have seen is almost like the building of a really big start-up. The effort that has been put into this by all these great partners, who are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts and their passion to see peace and real progress, they could have built a massive company with the sophistication and effort that has gone into this. But I think we are building something way more important than a company. We are building something that is a platform to enable the Palestinian people in Gaza to finally focus on improving their livelihoods and improving their lives, and for those who want to live in peace to give them a chance to do so. Hopefully this will show the Israelis that there is hope for peace and coexistence. But we realized on our first day doing this that the concept of trust did not exist. So this now is based on incentives and concrete steps, so that everyone knows what is expected of them and how we get there.”

I haven't heard this interview before today... It's very interesting.. Donald Trump - September 11, 2001 - Radio Interview “This country is different today, and it's going to be different than it ever was for many years to come.” Radio Host: Donald, you're probably the best-known builder, particularly of great buildings in the city. There's a great deal of question about whether or not the damage and the ultimate destruction of the buildings was caused by the airplanes, by architectural defect, or possibly by bombs or aftershocks. Do you have any thoughts on that? Donald Trump: Well, it wasn't architectural defect. You know, the World Trade Center was always known as a very, very strong building. Don't forget, that took a big bomb in the basement. Now, the basement is the most vulnerable place, because that's your foundation. And it withstood that. And I got to see that area about three or four days after it took place, because one of my structural engineers actually took me for a tour, because he did the building. And I said, I can't believe it. The building was standing solid, and half of the columns were blown out of itself. This was an unbelievably powerful building. If you know anything about structure, it was one of the first buildings that was built from the outside. You had the steel. The reason the World Trade Center had such narrow windows is that in between all the windows, you had the steel on the outside. You had the steel on the outside of the building. That's why when I first looked, and you had big, heavy I-beams. When I first looked at it, I couldn't believe it, because there was a hole in the steel. And this is steel that was, you remember the width of the windows of the World Trade Center, folks? I think, you know, if you were ever up there, they were quite narrow. And in between was this heavy steel. I said, how could a plane, even a plane, even a 767 or a 747 or whatever it might have been, how could it possibly go through the steel? I happen to think that they had not only a plane, but they had bombs that exploded almost simultaneously, because I just can't imagine anything being able to go through that wall. Most buildings are built with the steel that's on the inside around the elevator shaft. This one was built from the outside, which is the strongest structure you can have. And it was almost just like a can of soup. Radio Host: You know, Donald, we were looking at pictures all morning long of that plane coming into Building No. 2, and when you see that approach the far side, and then all of a sudden, within a matter of a millisecond, the explosion pops out the other side. Donald Trump: Right. I just think that it was a plane with more than just fuel. I think, obviously, they were very big planes. They were going very rapidly, because I was also watching where the plane seemed to be not only going fast, it seemed to be coming down into the building. So it was getting the speed from going downhill, so to speak. It just seemed to me that to do that kind of destruction is even more than a big plane, because you're talking about taking out steel, the heaviest caliper steel that was used on the building. I mean, these buildings were rock solid. And, you know, it's just an amazing, amazing thing. This country is different today, and it's going to be different than it ever was for many years to come. Radio Host: Very profound statement, and very true.

I haven't heard this interview before today... It's very interesting.. Donald Trump - September 11, 2001 - Radio Interview “This country is different today, and it's going to be different than it ever was for many years to come.” Radio Host: Donald, you're probably the best-known builder, particularly of great buildings in the city. There's a great deal of question about whether or not the damage and the ultimate destruction of the buildings was caused by the airplanes, by architectural defect, or possibly by bombs or aftershocks. Do you have any thoughts on that? Donald Trump: Well, it wasn't architectural defect. You know, the World Trade Center was always known as a very, very strong building. Don't forget, that took a big bomb in the basement. Now, the basement is the most vulnerable place, because that's your foundation. And it withstood that. And I got to see that area about three or four days after it took place, because one of my structural engineers actually took me for a tour, because he did the building. And I said, I can't believe it. The building was standing solid, and half of the columns were blown out of itself. This was an unbelievably powerful building. If you know anything about structure, it was one of the first buildings that was built from the outside. You had the steel. The reason the World Trade Center had such narrow windows is that in between all the windows, you had the steel on the outside. You had the steel on the outside of the building. That's why when I first looked, and you had big, heavy I-beams. When I first looked at it, I couldn't believe it, because there was a hole in the steel. And this is steel that was, you remember the width of the windows of the World Trade Center, folks? I think, you know, if you were ever up there, they were quite narrow. And in between was this heavy steel. I said, how could a plane, even a plane, even a 767 or a 747 or whatever it might have been, how could it possibly go through the steel? I happen to think that they had not only a plane, but they had bombs that exploded almost simultaneously, because I just can't imagine anything being able to go through that wall. Most buildings are built with the steel that's on the inside around the elevator shaft. This one was built from the outside, which is the strongest structure you can have. And it was almost just like a can of soup.
