A show ha?
It's been almost a month I haven't heard of the term "NFT", may be even more! Can anybody please tell me what's happening to those million $ assets? 👀

Another facebook is possible... Replace "facebook" with any of your desired social platform names. It's possible.

Carving your own path, entrepreneurship, or any kind of pioneership requires a high tolerance for aloneness. What makes you distinct isn’t always what makes you popular—at least not in the beginning. Because the convention you challenge is what others relies on for stability.

Bangladesh government is set to introduce an emergency helpline, 333, enabling citizens to report overpriced products in local markets and supermarkets. This helpline is part of a broader effort to enhance transparency in commodity pricing. Alongside the helpline, a user-friendly…
When a Pre-Seed investor says you’re “too early” for them 😆
I believe the most qualified person should get the job.
@ParikPatelCFA I ask him to drop showing off his qualification when referring to himself in 3rd person first.
Got this 9k piece lego titanic for my 3 year old. It’s for him. I’m not going to do this by myself at night. I’m just being a supportive dad, it’s not for me.
I think I’m allergic to project management tools. Every time I see Asana I break out in hives. Notion, I feel queasy. My brain literally doesn’t compute with these far too organized systems of working.
Pre-seed heating up. Saw a pre-product AI company (dev tools) trying to raise $5M on $30M pre. Not my sweet spot, but more power to them if they get it done!
I dropped out of UCLA in my 5th year. I was fired from two jobs for talking back to my managers; both of them called me a loose cannon. My first company failed. We spent three years building a product no one wanted, and no one would pay for. One of the biggest VCs in LA…
@MHaakonssonVI My father was a bartender. I don’t think my father has enough money to share with me, but thank you for sharing your thoughts.
No business class will ever prepare you for the amount of rejection you’ll deal with as a founder. It can only be experienced.
@darrenmarble I read: If you can't commit fraud you shouldn't be CEO? An early-stage "CEO," isn't a CEO. You're a hustler at best. Very few are primed to be a CEO at scale.
@darrenmarble I don't think this is the case... You can bootstrap a business, leverage credit cards and banking relationships to scale. I would argue this is actually a harder way to grow a business and shows the CEO is scrappy and resourceful. Never raised and built a $120M buinsess
A common question I get asked is how people decide to become founders It all starts with getting a real job and realizing you're completely unemployable
@thelilyfounder @darrenmarble Lots of trauma and the only way you pass through that trauma is a spiritual practice and empathy.
