The most interesting consumer founders I know obsess about humans, deep human needs, humanity, human connection, intense human struggles that are both old and new to the 2020s/2030s, human joy, belonging, dignity, and are defiantly not thinking of humans as consumers.
The most interesting consumer founders I know are obsessing about:
* Digital Identity: Lil Miquela inspired founders
* Crypto: proving that internet money is better
* AR/VR: new ways to interact with the physical world
* Wellness: literally creating new health/food categories

Woah - handy tip from my nephew
If you’re having a hard time with glasses fogging or keeping your mask up over your nose, a simple bandaid does wonders. Learned it in the OR.

Founders of apple & twtr would‘ve been thrilled to change the world and only earn $100m. Instead of extracting billions, that value could go to lower prices (apple) or fewer ads (twtr) & better paying employees & supply chains - value to the world vs. hoarding & enriching finance

The future of social is:
-social
The future of social is:
-creators of vertical communities will choose members
-fan club vibe
-monetization via subscriptions first & tokens thereafter
-largely ephemeral
-search resistant
-AR heavy
-closer experiences w/ friends & family
-a safe “place” to hangout

one has a mortgage, kids to support, decades of firm beliefs that define her identity+friendships+community+career
one can think freely
one is highly trained at public presentation & appearing confident
one is grieving
Q: whose eyes are filled with fear?

I’m interested in physical spaces not because I’m interested in physical spaces but because I’m very interested in human connection (as an answer to many problems), and physical spaces have the potential to spark or deepen human connection.

It’s so easy for humans to think these robots feel. The threat isn’t that robots will hurt us, it’s that we’ll think they love us. And it’ll be easier to have a robot love you, despite that they can’t. It starts with Alexa wishing you “good morning”

I’d love to deploy my capital into businesses that make a decent profit while serving customers well. There’s such a thing as “enough” money/profit/returns. In fact, that’s the answer to society’s problems... good thinking
@bryce
I can answer that
@Bryce
: It would be a disaster for founders.
LPs would back out of VC funds & the entire option of raising high-growth capital would go away for founders.
Well done socialist anti-capitalists! You’re architecting a world in which we make no progress. 🤦🏻♂️

Nearly 80% of founders reported building a community of users as important to their business, with 28% describing it as their moat and critical to their success.
