There are 20 houses on my block in Mar Vista. The neighborhood was developed in 1947. Of those 20 houses, 8 have NEVER been sold. Since 1947! Handed down from generation to generation. Those 8 houses currently have an average taxable value of $172k. So they each pay ~$2k per…

Here’s a way to think about the market size of AI. US labor costs are $11T. If a company pays 2% of headcount expenses to get a 10-50% productivity gain with AI, that’s $200B+. The US enterprise software market today is around $150-200B. So AI doubles that just in the base case.
A whole category of pessimism about new startups can be summarized as "I don't understand the J curve"
Not a VC…but I feel seen
People think being a VC is easy… but they never see the difficult decisions that need to be made everyday

You can have a great startup idea, but a great startup idea is like having a great plan for a fistfight. The moment the idea actually touches customers is like the moment you get punched in the face. What matters is what you do at that moment, not the plan.
