* taps 🎙 * It’s time to publicly announce @convoiventures! The infamous Scott Paul aka @scottycoin and I have raised Utah’s newest (smallest?) fund. We’re committed to being the *first* to find and fund Utah’s next breakout startups. 1/5

@wadeeyerly yessir, and sometimes they happen in moments when you are grumpy immediately before 😅

@alton_lex Not sure we’re on the same page here haha

@alton_lex A compound startup is a specific thing :)

@deathxdefeat You’re paying for Twitter, don’t live beneath your privileges :)

RT @drgurner: When you stop "hunting" - you stop living. Hunting for that first product breakthrough, the first pullup, the first "perfect…

@mrjordanbentley *more than 2x as difficult

@harveyjscott yeah, agreed our system is broken and need an overhaul. was trying to isolate to just the job aspect of the discussion. the tweet i was responding to seemed to think that immigration is bad for our economy/job situation.

@swarley75042565 Per chatgpt, don't think much of the jobs illegals are taking are things people are going to trade schools for.

@Moroni87 like this framing. agree on 3 of 4 points (construction and produce prices low, compete for housing) , question the competition on jobs though. need to do more of my own research there though.

great breakdown. haven't watched the video yet, but will. agree 100% on skilled labor. housing is a great point on the low skilled labor front, but want to see the data on low skilled labor jobs not being available to those that want them. everything I've read doesn't seem to support that. housing could be a large enough factor to offset any positive benefits of filling jobs that need to be filled that aren't otherwise being filled by native-born americans.

@Lance_Walker Great breakdown. Think we're in 100% agreement.

Hoping that KD has a post ball phase like Kobe was just beginning to find his footing on. Could watch this type of stuff endlessly

@Jowanza Yeah, great point. We’re early on all this. This next chapter of company building/VC is going to be fun.

wow, you’re totally right. there’s a reason why Parker Conrad was able to raise to go after a compound startup. Taking your point a step further though, I think with AI there will be founders who bootstrap compound startups to 7 figures ARR, making the belief part easier for VCs. You know how that goes :)

@deathxdefeat Haha no worries!

@deathxdefeat Any of this unique to compound startups?

@chandlerjward Churn’s the blocker to compound startups? How so?
