I removed 100 pounds of trash from an abandoned camp in Bear Cut Preserve, a very sensitive and off-limits habitat. If you want to help, join @miami_freedom and me on our cleanup this Saturday eventbrite.com/e/earth-day-m…

I’m not interested in your Total Addressable Market (usually a wild guess), your two-axis chart of competitors (with you perched—surprise!—alone in the upper-right quadrant), or your revenue projections (which miraculously go sharply up and to the right in year 3).

VC investment is only 1% of U.S. GDP, but VC backed companies are responsible for 57% of total market cap and 82% of R&D spend

I think my seed stage deal flow for consumer companies is better than Sequoia right now.

Warren Buffett is one of the greatest investors ever.
Which is surprising considering he doesn't:
- Do cold plunges/take cold showers
- Use a sauna 3-4x a week
- Eat super clean
- Sleep on an Eight Sleep Mattress
- Wake up at 4AM to workout
What's his edge ... Luck?

.@POTUS we must extend the 60-day grace period for laid-off H1B visa holders to find another job during this economic downturn
I suggest 6 months
These hard-working, high-tax-paying individuals are critical to the economy & it's the right thing to do

All the crude stereotypes about higher education are way out of line with reality.
There were literally 7,767 degrees awarded in area, ethnic, cultural, gender & group studies in 2019-2020 out of 2,038,041 degrees.
That's 0.4%. Not 4%. Not 40%. 0.4%.

A new report says Miami has the potential to become the next Silicon Valley. But multiple factors stand in its way. bizjournals.com/southflorida…

An emerging reality:
1) There’s a good chance the US govt severely curtails TikTok
2) The FTC (and user sentiment) will keep Meta products from filling the void
3) DOJ suit may hinder Google/ YouTube
So…there is a *wide open* lane for the next social content platform.

•1.5% spike in overall fund returns each year
• 9.7% more profitable exits (an impressive figure given that only 28.8% of all VC investments have a profitable exit)
