Off to blue-er skies. Join me on Bluesky:

Great conversation with @kcline6 of @VentureFizz , my backstory and best advice for folks on startup storytelling, relationships, and breaking into VC. Pretty much off Twitter now, please join me over on Bluesky, where I'm also @miketrap

@ScottJenningsKY I don't agree with you on much policy, but this helped me today. You've done a great job this election, and I appreciate your perspective. So thanks.

The value of accounting standards is not that they get you closer to the truth, just that they enable comparison by a consistent standard. Always avoid confusing these ideas.

OK, folks. Looks like Threads wins. Join me there:

@ShortOrderDad Quite sure I would 🍸

I was invited to request an invitation today. Really made me feel special.

For an entrepreneur, closing the distance to the truth is always a win, even when the truth isn't what you hoped it would be.

My campground review on @thedyrt: Best Loop at MSSF

Getting more and more AI-generated inbound fundraising pitches. Getting better and better at spotting it, and more and more cynical about the need to respond to anyone. Venture was and remains a relationship business. Community is the new content.

@bandholz Check out the Colorado ZR2. Love mine.

@CorpoTuck @MorganBarrettX Thanks, Tuck. Hopefully what I lack in young I make up for in fun...

Twitter is just a shitshow right now. Sorry... "X" 🤮 Meanwhile Mastodon is a ghost town, Bluesky is a freakshow, Warpcast is a nerdfest, and Threads fixes the current problem by creating the next one. Hit me up on Telegram if you need me.

@graceclarke It’s like a Ferrari. Awesome ride, but the price is really high. Everyone needs to decide whether they can afford it, and the default should never be to just get one.

@DEVINENASH And “news you can use,” you’re dead to me.
