Joshua Bloom and I back AI founders and advise on monetization: early POCs, commercial contracts, what to charge for and how to charge.
Thanks to our LPs, founders and VCs.

This is absolutely shameful. Agents of a federal agency unnecessarily escalating, and then executing a defenseless citizen whose offense appears to be using his cell phone camera. Every person regardless of political affiliation should be denouncing this.

That’s a wrap on our now biannual @CendanaCapital LP/GP Summit. We hosted 110 of our LPs and GPs in Vail, and created some magical moments❤️🔥

I’m very excited today to share my next chapter…Alt Capital, a new $150M fund to back early stage founders!
Truly pinching myself that I’m going to get to spend all my time doing this. Fired up and ready to go. If you’re working on a startup I’d love to hear from you!

I think seedchecks.com/ is a very clever idea: you submit your deck and a bunch of great investors of all sizes will review it and reach out if they're a fit. Great way to get past the Warm Intro req that many VCs have.
I'm excited to be one of the guest VCs this month!

How do we create a culture where it's harder to set (or become) the topic of public conversation by doing something terrible and easier to do so by doing something great?

"The failure rates are so high in early-stage investing that the power-law curves are steep. If your best-performing investment, after taking significant dilution, cannot return your early-stage fund, then you are doing something wrong." - @fredwilson avc.com/2021/11/seed-rounds-…

Incredible what our partner @Kells_Bells was able to achieve with @altvia 's data solutions. With a portfolio of over 2000 companies (and 84 unicorns!), our database and analytics have to be industrial strength to provide us and our LPs real insights.

I don't know why more funds don't have a nano-fund of funds strategy like @CendanaCapital . If you know how to diligence and do manager selection, it's hard to imagine performance that doesn't at least rival the best mega (and non-mega) funds.
