"The rise prediction markets is a symptom of young people being unable to compound their way to wealth through legacy institutions anymore (e.g. universities corporate jobs index funds etc) So imo prediction markets are an outlet for the economic nihilism (not inherently bad)"

"The status quo of pre-seed rounds right now appears to be: company accepts 1st VC offer next day the company doubles the cap that said VC invested on remaining VCs get fomo and pony up the cash at the higher val All VCs know this is the game but participate in it anyway"

"China is so far ahead of the West in robotics that there are plenty of good startup ideas up for grabs that just involve copying the Chinese and doing it in the US"

"There will never be less on-device inference than today. *All* next-gen computing surfaces (e.g. robots ai wearables drones consumer hardware) will do inferences locally on-device not in data centers. The entire @EarthlingVC thesis bets against the AI capex trade"

"A pass from a VC always communicates (in full or subset): "We don't like 1) you 2) building in this market 3) at this time" Many VCs (esp bigger funds) do not need to take risk on 2) and 3) (i.e. market risk). Passing due to market risk (vs founder) is a low-downside way to pass"

"We should replace the term valuation for startups (which implies quantitative logic) with something more appropriate like bid (yolo) Company X raised $5M at a $40M bid sounds more apt"

"the best trick to make your fundraising round "hot" is to make a lot of VCs believe that there are a lot of *other* VCs that like you/are interested in investing in your round early-stage VC is mostly a Keynesian beauty contest"

"Passing due to market risk is a polite way to say no while keeping the door open to participate in a later round (if they were wrong / changed their position) Telling a founder they suck just has X upside for a VC"
