Everyone wants founders to be bold and brave, but not enough people expect the same from investors If your backers don’t have the balls to go alongside you no matter what, it’s just generational aura debt Respect to the VCs with aura, they don’t get enough credit

in a sense venture capital funds are kind of like robinhood in that they take money from the rich and distribute it amongst the poor The rich in this scenario being the VCs liquidity providers, the poor being the founders What’s funnier is founders, to please VCs often also become robinhood, taking money from the rich(the investors) and giving it away as free incentives for new users to use their tech

My friend from a super rich family in Singapore started angel investing with the thesis of only funding founders he thinks are pure of heart, kind and very polite He has made 14 investments over the past 2 years and each one has completely outperformed expectations Every culture has its own definition of aura, but eventually everyone seems to get to the same answer

I feel like we should legalize corruption and fraud within startup raising and VC This will lead to crime rate within this field going straight to zero very quickly I’m voting for the politics that support this

a very gangster way to reach $120,000 arr is simple launch a crypto token for your startup, exit scam for $10k and annualize that revenue scale this and watch your investors go crazy

A dyslexic investor friend of mine funded what he thought was a Due Diligence company with AI integration Turns out company name was Dude Diligence and it helped gay guys rank higher on the looksmaxx PSL scale and find guys to hook up with in SF Unironically sounds like a good investment though

I can’t wait to see the first VC company to fund a $100m seed round to a startup powered by a flys brain We are yet to see a VC decision made by using a human brian

A friend of mine who worked in HR all his life finally made it recently after vibe coding some content automation software for tiktok and instagram and selling that to his company They just buy it without question because it’s the trend, he’s making $60-130 k per month off just a couple of clients and he’s sure this market is only going to get bigger He doesn’t even have anything interesting set up architecturally, he’s just dming him offer to people at middle sized companies and they’re paying him to at least test it, it’s insane

A founder i invested in recently had a tough time answering some of my questions so i gave him the nickname “gpt 3.5” Now every time im on a call with him and his board, we all laugh at him and say his context window is filled up whenever he stutters He’s gonna be a billionaire, i’m sure of it

An angel investor friend of mine wrote a $100k check to an AI startup preventing illegal immigration in the USA He found out a year later that instead of preventing, the founders were housing immigrants in their office in SF You’re not liberal enough
