Few understand what Brickyard is unless they’ve seen it themselves. This is expected given there isn’t a comp for what we’re doing, but we’ve also tightened a lot of screws over the last year.
Here’s an attempt:

There are 57m square miles of land on earth.

If bitcoin becomes the monetary unit of the world, having 1 BTC will be like owning 2.7 square miles of land.

It's typical for aircraft owners to fund a set $$$ to their engine reserve for every hour they put on their engines (which typically sits in a money market acct).

"Data driven decision" culture was created by boards who didn't trust their founders to take risks, and founders who didn't trust their employees to take risks.
It's great when you have clear data, but most times you don't. Founders/early employees think about their problems

Now listen. I know that Brickyard is difficult to understand. Difficult. Why would it make sense to build a company on a desert island? Because desert islands force you to spear fish and make fires, not piña coladas. And you better be pulling weight, because no one likes to be on

As efficiencies create value in the market (advancing tech), the purchasing power of each monetary unit must grow to account for this new value, and prices drop.
If new monetary units are created out of thin air, it steals the purchasing power from the existing units and prices

Ok hear me out.

Here’s a take.
I think VCs made startups a status/celebrity thing over the last 10 years.
This attracted lots of strong posers raising for the wrong reasons.
Lots of strong pitches from weak founders the past few years.
It’s always about the founder.

Brickyard isn’t an accelerator per se (no formal programming or demo day), but if you get in, you move to their place in TN to go heads-down until Series A alongside the rest of their portcos.
