There is another path. We’ve started new companies and currencies. Why can’t we start new communities, cities, and even countries?
After all, that’s part of why Elon wants Mars, and why Thiel backed seasteading. Maybe we can get there via the Internet.

San Francisco is the only tech hub with growing startup formation. Politicians want to kill it🚨
Garry Tan on the data:
SF has +24% company formation growth. Every other city is declining.
But city hall is doing everything it can to drive companies out:
▪️ 800% gross receipts tax hike proposed
▪️ Lab bans threatening biotech and AI startups
This is the only VC hub in America still growing, and local politicians are trying to destroy what makes it special.
The irony: SF's comeback is real, and the biggest threat isn't competition from other cities. It's self-inflicted.
Do you think SF stays the AI capital or does policy push startups elsewhere?

Five core jobs of a CEO:
1. Nail down strategy for company
2. Deliver capital to pursue that strategy
3. Build team to execute
4. Communicate the hell out of company strategy (internally and externally)
5. Hold people accountable.

Feeling like you have no fucking idea what you’re doing is the price of entry to achieving your dreams.

We need to offer ordinary individuals better access to private company fundraising incl deep tech start-ups. @MeritoNetwork offers that finally, starting in Japan.

🎉 AppWorks Demo Day #30 — live in Singapore!
Over the past 3 months, Batch #30 founders have been building at the frontier of AI, Web3 & deep tech. Two days ago, our Web3 startups — @ResolvLabs, @OmoProtocol, @sentimint_life & @MeritoNetwork — pitched to our SG investor friends, alongside several non-Web3 founders.
Next stop: Taiwan 🇹🇼 — with even more teams taking the stage.

Lively chat in Shibuya about Japan’s tech potential with @Noahpinion and Zynga cofounder Justin Waldron. Noah made good point that 🇯🇵 used to lead in capital accumulation yet now is a global laggard. @MeritoNetwork tokenization, incl for deep tech startups, can reverse that.

Give young people resources and let them try
Words to live by at YC
From the archive: “Ultimately there's no replacement for great ideas and there's no replacement for human energy." -@hubermanlab
"...and the best source of human energy that I know is youth. You want to harness that energy of youth and the spirit of discovery and give people the resources…"
"You get money, you give it to young people, and you get out of their way and let them try.”

What’s it going to take to unleash the next wave of life saving medicines and tech discoveries we need to rev up the economic engine?
Tokens.
Flying to Singapore 🇸🇬 this week to explain tokenized deep tech’s promise at DemoDays of the AppWorks accelerator. DeSci doesn’t sleep.

7/Merito links university R&D with industry across Japan.
Great chatting with Japan's Trade & Industry Ministry (METI) today which has rejuvenated Japan's biotech and biopharma capacity with over $3 billion in investments via its Strengthening Program for Pharmaceutical Startup Ecosystem and Deep-Tech Startups Support Program (via NEDO). @MeritoNetwork enables Japan's innovation pipeline to flow even better before and after such public support. Onward, Japan.

Among Web3’s best features is the ability to bring people together to build and do things together. @MeritoNetwork and @SuiNetwork gathered 43 to make a lively crowd at an event in Tokyo 🇯🇵, including @DeSciTokyo ‘s chairperson. Onward!

Have been building in Web3 for seven years and haven’t ever met a network as consistently friendly as @SuiNetwork . Happy meeting SUI Foundation rep for Asia Antoine today in Tokyo. @MeritoNetwork is planning a SUI gathering in Tokyo on Sunday too. CCing @SuiFamOfficial
