.Bridgit Mendler on the founding thesis of Northwood. "We really were recognizing the same problem, that networking for the space economy is really what drives its value. And there's a significant bottleneck, and that bottleneck actually is not in space. It's actually on Earth. The way that you actually solve that networking problem for space is through introducing a model that gets you to the scale that you need, not just for one individual company or a mission, but for the industry overall."

Jacob Helberg says one of Europe’s biggest challenges to building companies is cultural: they’re just not risk-takers like Americans are. "It's really hard for Europe to put those pieces together because the culture in Europe has not been favorable to encouraging risk-taking, which is necessary—it's the lifeblood of starting a business." "You need to have a risk-taking culture—and then they have the unit economics problem where it's just really expensive to build stuff in Europe because your energy bills are really high. You have to spend a ton of money on legal fees before you even start." "It's not that starting things in Europe will be impossible, but they have major headwinds." "We have invested a lot of effort into having truthful, candid conversations with our friends in Europe to actually share our concerns." "When you actually care about someone, you can actually be candid with them. Clear is kind." "We care about Europe. We want them to be strong, and so we are trying to draw their attention to policy issues that we think are serious headwinds for them." Jacob Helberg with Erik Torenberg

Replit CEO Amjad Masad: Being 'terminally online' may be an advantage. "If you want to work on a skill, it's going to be about idea generation." "Because the cost of implementation of those ideas is going down rapidly. It's gonna go to zero at some point." "So the bottleneck becomes, 'how fast can you generate ideas?'" "Just looking around you in the world and seeing what's happening. What are the trends? Are you plugged in on social media?" "A lot of the vices that older generations think are vices, might actually become advantages. So if you're a brainrotted, terminally online person, that might be an advantage because you know what's happening in the world." "If you're someone who's ADHD, really interested in novelty... that's actually an advantage because AI really benefits people who can try a lot of things really quickly." Amjad Masad with

Bridgit Mendler on why the space economy is like the early internet: "I get really inspired by the analogy especially thinking about, you know, for folks that were early with the internet." "There's no way they would've foreseen what the internet is today." "But they were betting on a direction and they were setting up a model that would basically unlock a lot of innovation." "A year ago today, would we think that everybody would be talking about orbital data centers? No way." Bridgit Mendler of Northwood with Erik Torenberg

We asked ElevenLabs CEO Mati Staniszewski what people should take away from the story of ElevenLabs. "One is culture." "We obsess about bringing people that are aligned with how we want to operate day to day, whether it's the ownership, whether it's the first principles, whether it's that striving for excellence, but keeping the ego low." "The second thing... you want people that are great in their craft and are passionate about their craft, passionate about that work." "If you bring people like this, there's actually very little management and very little work that any of the leaders need to do." "Bring the amazing people that are obsessed about doing the best work of their lives... and they'll do a much better job than you ever imagined." @matiii

Bridgit Mendler on how Northwood is fixing the space economy's ground infrastructure problem: "The problem that we're solving is for every satellite, it requires a connection point back to Earth so that they can control the spacecraft." "That point of contact on Earth is called the ground infrastructure." "If you don't have it, you don't have a space mission." "It literally is just like a rock in space you're doing nothing with." "There was this whole boom around spacecraft manufacturing." "And interestingly what started becoming the longest pole in the tent was just getting the point of contact on the ground to connect with." "You could build a satellite and launch it faster than you could actually connect with it from the ground." "Which just seemed absurd." Bridgit Mendler with Erik Torenberg

"This is where Mamdani is a model...There's this narrative that what Democrats have to do in order to win is to take squishy middle positions on everything. I actually disagree with that assessment. I think it's absolutely possible to take almost any position you want. There are kind of two things that are important though: You can't let niche issues that are not the primary concerns of a lot of voters dominate the messaging & the campaign. You need to stay the most focused on what voters actually care about." Musa al-Gharbi

Marc Andreessen says don’t ever do diamonds in the rough. Only do diamonds. "This is actually an investor ego thing, I think, which is you basically say, 'Wow, I'm the investor that's gonna go find the thing that nobody else knows about... I'm going to go do the thing nobody else can think of.'" "The general pattern is... if it's got merit to be investable for venture, there are a lot of really smart and hungry VCs out there, and they are working extremely hard to sniff these things out, and it's their full-time job, and it's all they do." "I think it's really unusual to have the diamond in the rough, and usually if it's the diamond in the rough, it usually means two things... a company that's offside in some fundamental reason, it's in the wrong place, or it's structured wrong." "There's a reason why it's a diamond in the rough that actually ends up becoming a big problem." Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 with Harry Stebbings

Something Stinks About Dominion Voting Machines and Elon Musk Can Smell It He finds it to be a “heck of a coincidence” that Philadelphia and Maricopa County use them, but “not in a lot of other places.” “I know a lot about computers, and I'm like, the last thing I would do is trust a computer program because it's just too easy to hack. It's too easy to add just one line, and it's really difficult to hack paper ballots. “So in-person voting with proof of ID, which, by the way, every country has. Almost every country that has democratic elections requires in-person voting with voter ID. “This is weird. It's super weird to not have that. I think that's the only way to effectively address fraud, given that we are where we are today. “I think we just need a very big margin of victory. If the margin of victory is big enough, then as I say, it's got to beat the cheat.”

"Your job is to find the path to the future. Find the way of doing things that's most aligned with where the world is headed." "It's not about cheating, it's about figuring out how the system is rigged against you. How do you actually hack it? How do you get past it?" "AI is a great tool for that." "If you're someone who just understands how these tools work, and understand how you have an amazing time advantage. You can do things a lot faster." "There are a lot of programmers that are still doing programming the old way, and they're going very, very slow... until they get obsoleted." Amjad Masad with jack neel

Yunjin talks about her favourite quote “Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time” — Maya Angelou I've actually met a lot of like the most important people in my life right now, one of the biggest lessons that they've taught me is that you should always give people a second chance, because people are capable of change. And if you nurture them and give them the right environment to flourish, then they can really become anything. And I think that's a very important thing to realize the more that you get older, because it's really easy to limit yourself and limit others and be like, oh no, that's just the way they are. They will never change and, you know, I shouldn't even try to get them to change because that's just how they are and they're gonna stay like that forever. Because that, I feel like kind of makes it really easy for you to get really apathetic and not really care about things that maybe we should be caring about, like helping each other grow as people and, you know, trusting humanity.

We know what those things are. And I think that it's great when you have a locker room full of people that are gonna hold everyone to the standards and not just the coaching staff."
