The problem with the term HR is that people are seen as resources - often exploited instead of empowered

Really good talks and insights. Really enjoyed the interview with Druckenmiller - youtube.com/watch?v=-7sWLIyb…
If anyone remains confused as to why we are seeing massive inflation, I recommend these three pieces of brilliant expert commentary: Larry Summers nytimes.com/2022/03/29/opini… Stan Druckenmiller youtube.com/watch?v=-7sWLIyb… & Ray Dalio youtube.com/watch?v=xguam0TK… Happy 4th!

1) I’m proud to announce that @Cruise is ready to welcome members of the public into our fully driverless vehicles. Our first few riders certainly had a good time, and we hope you do too.

Areas that 99% of early-stage startups shouldn't innovate in: - Hiring processes - Org structure & titles - Sales team compensation - ESOP - Pricing - Investor updates - ... Focus on product and distribution. For everything else, just copy what works for 1000s of others.

1/ there's lot of VC "inside baseball" on what's going on with startup valuations. in short: VCs are SHITTING their pants over existing portfolio while same time SALIVATING over potential "more reasonable" (LOWER) valuations for new deals. anyway here's my take on next 12 mo's:
Guessing that right around now is the time in the cycle that younger VCs will learn that there can be a huge gap btw unrealized values/mark-ups and actual returns/DPI. Mark-downs, lack of secondary buyers, no exit in sight are realities of the business. Winter is here/coming. 😊
