I used to dream of $1M ARR. Last Friday, we closed $2.84M in new contracts in just one business day. @OrdoSchools is going to be so much bigger than I ever imagined.

I am unbelievably excited to announce $50M+ in new contracts awarded to @OrdoSchools. While everyone else is showing off fundraises, we’re sharing our team’s massive growth in 2025, with MUCH MORE TO COME! Ordo is serving millions of fresh meals to students in 100+ schools…

Impossible to “overpay” for a startup that becomes a generational company. By definition, if you really get it right, the growth will compound for longer than you or your LPs are alive.

Proud to be New Yorker today 🗽

Picking a VC is itself an early-stage investment. The best new firms and partners aren’t just helpful now—they compound. Bet on ones with real velocity and something non-obvious. Their growth becomes your growth.

When building a startup, one of the most underrated advantages is just how consistently bad your competitors can be, almost systematically, over a period of many years. School lunch and the rise of @OrdoSchools is such a great case study on this.

Airbnb vs. Hilton valuation 2007-2025. Hilton’s growth is wild. After pivoting to an asset-light franchise model—owning just 1% of its hotels—it’s nearly caught up to Airbnb. Franchises > messy marketplaces

New hires at Ordo pick an animated character as their Slack pic—since we serve kids. In time, I've found the selection always says a lot. So if I don’t know it, I'll go watch the movie.

The cold emails I get are insane. Mozzarella stick sales guy sent me this today, no context.

This is our first multi-$M contract direct with a government agency. @OrdoSchools is going to be so much bigger than I ever imagined.

This week, a couple I introduced in 2021 got engaged 💍 I helped with the surprise. The theme was “Mission Impossible in NYC” and he did black car > helicopter > Porsche > mountain top. Being a part of something like this is the coolest side quest ever. Who should I do next?

Friends, founders, cool ppl, If you are coming to NY tech week, my townhome by Madison Square Park has a lot of extra space Come hang between meetings, or HMU if you need a place to crash

Around ~5% of Thiel fellows become billionaires. It's the single greatest predictor of success and crushes all other alternatives (Harvard, 30u30, etc)

We're hiring @OrdoSchools. If you're in NYC on 6/5, come see us and the XYZ team — @camillericketts @ImChauncey @JCDorsainvil & more

Wow, now @S10Bird reposted @OrdoSchools on IG. I wonder what celeb is next 👀

Venture buyouts are a HOT topic, but very few founders have the rizz to execute. Leave it to the Thiel Fellows to figure it out, and pull it off with grace. Congrats @seanhenryatl on yet another buyout, this time from @UPS, on the back of a $200M+ fundraise.

Easy answer to why these sandwiches could be $4 in USA too. When you buy whole ingredients vs. processed, there’s less margin that needs to go to food processors, transport, etc. Fresh food is always cheaper, anywhere. As for why we eat slop here? Idk, culture 🤷

This week just keeps giving! I'm excited to announce that @OrdoSchools has been selected to serve in Minnesota, our 21st state, pending @MnDeptEd approval. I'm a HUGE Fargo fan, so this really cool.
