    When I joined @dhaliwas on this journey 11 years ago it was to build *the* haven for technical founders. Nothing has changed except we have far more resources than I ever imagined to help the people we’re built to serve.

    This is the best response I’ve seen by a gov’t official to a hard problem in forever.

    Lt. Gen. Todd Semonite, Chief of the @USACEHQ, provides a 'simple' solution to the complicated problem of building temporary medical facilities to assist states with responding to #COVID19. This clip is from a press conference by Army senior leader on March 20, 2020.

    It's a (scary) sign of the times, when it takes one of the best VCs of our generation to write a blog post to remind the world that gross margins/profits matter.

    1. Early stage founders: I know you've seen advice all over the place about "take the debt while you can". Let me tell you why this is a *terrible* idea for pre-product market fit companies...

    The de-platforming of Venture Capital is happening at an astonishing rate. I have seen anything like it in nearly 20 years in the industry.

    Raising money for Amplify has helped me immeasurably in understanding what our Founders experience. Deeply appreciative of everyone who helped us get here. Now, as they say, “back to work”.

    I don't believe in celebrating fund raising -- for a Venture firm or a company. However, reflecting on the path we've taken to get here and thanking all the people who helped -- I'll celebrate them all f*cking day. Thank you to everyone who has who been a part of this journey!

    A decade+ after founding, Amplify is consistently producing funds that are top 5% (really!). Why? Because we do something most VCs completely miss:

    People who haven't followed semiconductors closely may not realized how big a deal it is that TSMC beat Intel to 5nm. Intel was once untouchable on process technology. Even when architecture was mediocre, the process tech saved them.

    TSMC achieving 5nm before Intel is huge. However, given the strategic importance of the semiconductor industry, I wonder if TSMC’s dominance will put Taiwan in China’s crosshairs.

    An entrepreneur/close friend was pitching another VC. They realized they both knew me. VC called me “the Larry David of VC”. I’ve never been more Proud of anything anyone has ever said about me.

    I went to Nysmith in the 80s and I know Ken Nysmith. His mother (who founded the school) would be ashamed of him if she were still alive. This is disgraceful.

    Breaking via @Kredo0: Virginia's Nysmith School, one of the top 10 in the U.S. for K-8 students, has been hit with a civil rights complaint by Brian Vazquez and Ashok Roy. The complaint alleges that their three kids were expelled after complaining about antisemitic harassment🧵
