    Where talent migrates, innovation follows. 55% of unicorn companies have also been founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. Embracing immigration is to welcome the gift of global talent to build and transform the US

    I love when founders of very early-stage startups write up a 1-2-page memo vs a deck. It often tells me who they are, what they're building, why they're building it and for whom in a much more thoughtful & concise way. (Should I write an example one to illustrate & share?)

    My flight is super full so I ended up in a middle seat. A couple is seated on either side of me. I offered to swap if they'd prefer to sit next to each other, and they both declined. So now I'm just sitting awkwardly in between the two of them while they talk over me. Why. ๐Ÿ˜…

    San Francisco is the only place I've lived where someone great quitting their job is met with genuine congratulations and excitement about whatever they may be onto next If you're building something new and looking to meet with others doing the same, DMs open to join something
