Patrick Bet-David gives the most important piece of advice to young people trying to achieve the American Dream — ‘Pursue Equity’ “To the young kids that are watching the reality is the following… We have to redefine what the American Dream is. The American Dream to me is the word ‘equity’ — I don’t mean ESG ‘equity’ — I mean ‘equity’ as in equity could be in a home. Equity could be in crypto, in stocks, or a company you work for that has shared some equity that is building valuation with you.” “Don’t think one dimensional that equity only equals me having a home… Pursue equity. Years ago marketers convinced us that the American Dream is home ownership. It’s not, it’s equity.” “If you’re younger, buckle down, increase your valuation, increase your market valuation.”

What is the biggest advantage for companies to stay private today? David George " The biggest advantage is the avoidance of volatility in your stock price and employee management. If you can steadily grow or control your stock price in the private markets. Even if it's a slight discount to where you would be in the public markets it is a benefit We've seen some of our companies that have been able to do that. Stripe, SpaceX, Databricks, it's worked to their advantage for sure." I would love to hear your thoughts Brian Halligan Sameer Dholakia John Collison Noah Glass mark pincus

The biggest myth about marriage is that your feelings will be the same ten years in. They won’t. Marriage matures, life changes, kids arrive, you build equity together. That’s why divorce is so brutal: you lose emotional equity and half your net worth. Don’t blow that up lightly.

Elon Musk on taking SpaceX public: "I've been asked for many years about taking SpaceX public, so it's probably been almost 10 years that people have been suggesting to me that I should take SpaceX public. We've been positive cash flow for quite a long time, I think, since around 2014-2015 and we've been self-funding, in fact, in our sort of private equity rounds, we actually have not been fundraising rounds, they've been liquidity rounds for investors and employees, because we give everyone at the company stock, and SpaceX has actually bought back stock in most of our sort of funding events. What's different about now is that was it's a number of things, we are embarking on a significant growth phase, like capital growth phase, where we're are going to put in orbit, probably 100,000 satellites, probably over 100,000 satellites, just for communications. The appetite for bandwidth of AI and robots is going to be enormous, and then we're also doing the AI data centers in space, which is another massive capital endeavor, but I think it will be the primary means by which AI can be expanded."

The reason it cost to much to take your pet to the vet is because private equity firms are buying up the pet industry and skyrocketing prices - Private equity firms poured $51.6 billion into the veterinary sector from 2017-2023 - Another $10+ billion in 2024 - Private equity firms spent $9.3 billion in the first 4 months on that year alone buying vet clinics - Industry leaders found that people will go into debt to keep their pets healthy, so the field is viewed as low risk and high reward 2025 private equity firms ownership of our American veterinary clinics estimates - 45% of all general practices will be owned by private equity firms - 80% of all Specialty/Emergency Practices will be owned by private equity firms “We are to the point in this country where cost and inflation is so high, I am seriously considering veterinary care tourism” “It is gonna cost about $1,500 to $1,800 to get this thing's (her dogs) teeth cleaned in Chicago, and his teeth aren't even bad”

"Think of founder comms as concentric circles" - Lulu Cheng Meservey "The innermost circle is your co-founders. The next circle is investors and your board. Then employees, customers, regulators etc." "You don't want to skip the circles. If you have a new mission and your employees find out from the press, you are in a world of pain." "Sequencing correctly and not going too greedy too fast is very important."

JCal: "The real crime is that rich people have rigged the markets." You can bet on the Knicks, gamble on blackjack, and YOLO any meme coin you want. But you legally can't buy SpaceX, Uber, or Tesla before they go public... For some arbitrary reason, we draw the line in private markets, even though that’s where all the value is created. @jason

Probably the best take I have heard on why there is so much fear around software exposure in private equity and credit because of AI From David Sacks "Historically we only had two good exits for software businesses. One was IPO. The other was M&A. Then these big private equity shops came along and gave us a third potential exit. You would sell to them and then they would raise the capital based on one third equity and two third debt. So it was debt financed buyouts. It is something that has been around in the non technology part of the economy for a long time but was a relatively new entrant in the world of technology. And the reason for that is if you have debt financed a purchase, you need to have very stable cash flows. Because if you miss and you cant pay your interest on the debt, you will lose all your equity because the debt holders will foreclose. It was belief for a long time that software did have predictable cash flows, at least for the mature businesses."
