Launched Sauron, the future of home security at Art Basel Miami. We’re building the only platform that reliably identifies, understands, and deters threats. Wouldn’t be possible without my co-founders @jackabraham and @likeavass. More soon!

San Francisco is at a crossroads. Will we enter a period such as Detroit in the 1970s or will we swing back from our boom and bust local history. I believe in the latter but it will take a lot more than misplaced good government intentions.

Seeing more 15 and 16 year olds on founding teams of high growth startups. Bullish.

Replying to @BennettSiegel and @ZacharyDeWitt
Wasnt $ABNB impossible to raise their seed round? And wasn't it at like $5m post? A lot of generational companies started off cheap and non consensus. @kevinhartz would know!
