Over the last 10 years I have met with thousands and thousands of founders and backed over 170 startups.

Here are the reasons VCs pass on startups - some are rarely discussed and rather personal and nothing you can do about them.

On that note, do you angel invest? :)

Don't make to-do lists. Just do the task. Whatever you can't remember is probably not that important. Do fewer things well.

First outing after a signed term sheet from our lead investor for our seed round. Such a good match . So this is what if feels like🪐🤍🚀

In South Korea 🇰🇷, the solar panels in the middle of the highway have a bicycle path underneath - cyclists are protected from the sun, isolated from traffic, and the country can produce clean energy. pic.twitter.com/2bolUlhaFZ

Love you Dave. Thank you for teaching me how to change a tire, replace my brakes, watching every episode of the Simpson’s with me, saving my life literally countless times.. always said “you can have a good life in spite of your mom, or a bad 1 bc of her”. I chose the good life. pic.twitter.com/mCyXPnkjfj

I woke up last night. At 1 am on the dot. I literally could not fall back asleep, so I laid there until 4. And then got up and went to lab. They tried reviving him from 1-4am. It’s like in some weird way my body felt that energy. I just didn’t know.

Few things bring me more joy than throwing back of shot of espresso standing at a cafe counter in Italy. Really overcomplicated a simple concept in the US.

The amount of uninvited bullying I get for being interested in crypto, blockchain, and ZK at Yale is insane. Will never comprehend why other people blatantly attack what other people spend their time on. Like I'm not gonna hate on you for playing squash in your free time😵‍💫

I’ve been using LinkedIn a lot in the last two days to do research on founders (background) and their connections - why didn’t I use it more often before (I mainly used it for messaging)?

~10% of founders we back reliably send an investor update on the 1st every month

Even if it's a holiday or weekend, the update is out

Interestingly, their startups are doing much better than the median startup in our portfolio

Correlation is not causation but still interesting

With that said, we do have some companies KILLING IT that I almost never hear from lol

But if you are not definitively killing it, this may be a good habit to get into...

I have a three hour therapy session today. That'll fix everything right?

And I know that many of you, probably 98% of you, are still in a deep state of denial about the Food and Energy Winter+ crisis. Probably, thinkin' I'm some crazy dude.

But in next four months, we will be living in a very DIFFERENT world.

Keep this tweet in mind as a reminder.

Diversification is extremely important in bear markets. It allows me to lose my money slowly instead of all at once.

There are many things my grandma and I have in common beyond our shared aversion to the Russian government. For example, a mission to make the world a better place through fabulous headwear. pic.twitter.com/6hooNBVuQq
