Today we closed my fund for new investment. I thought it might be cool to share things I’ve learned about fundraising over the last 9 years since we started the fund. Some of this advice is probably specific to hedge fund land, but I hope most of it isn’t.

Narrative Violation : “Don’t invest in MBAs” If you just invested in the HBS Class of 2011, you would have hit $100B+ in market cap. - Coupang: $60B - Grab: $17B - Gojek: $10B - Oscar Health: $7B - Stitchfix: $5B Lesson? Don’t make up “proxy rules” in a game of outliers.

Eddie Van Halen has died. Many more eloquent than me will discuss his musical achievements, so I'll just note that he was owner and inventor of the patent with the baddest-ass diagram in the history of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office patents.google.com/patent/US…

Me, writing an email: I'm using an exclamation point so you know I'm friendly and excited! But now I'm using a period so that you know I'm not crazy. Here's another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Thanks so much!

The best thing poker teaches you is to not be results-oriented, because it's crucial for good decision making in all aspects of life. The worst thing poker teaches you is to not be results-oriented, because everyone else in the world is and it's very annoying.

How do you settle the debate over who is the ‘Greatest of All Time?’ @Jumpman23 wants to see it happen head-to-head.

Technology peaked in 2003 when you could fit your record collection on one device but that device didn't yet spy on you or retrain your brain to be a needy bundle of anxieties.

I have a feeling that the vast majority of people on Twitter are not aware of how to take advantage of Twitter's search capabilities. I've had people assume I spent a long time finding something when it took seconds I'll explain how to use some of options with Twitters search.
