We decided as one of our founding principles to involve community while we build. Invited 10k founders last year and proved a lot of cynics wrong how we involve them! Now we are opening door to few more. Unique opportunity to be a part of history as we build

When we started building we took hard road of building creator platform (DCM is part of that) along with game

Ignoring secondary entirely through free agency and draft when there’s no clear data this group can make plays and stay healthy seems pretty lame strategy to me..

Have been an advocate for this for last decade!, so can we not lump all boomers :) Any VC that thinks a little liquidity would quench founders ambition have just backed wrong founder. It won’t happen anyways. Most successful founders are never satisfied

I call it YC phenomenon. More than anyone else, they inspired multiple generations on not only how to build but also sell (rightly so).. so much so many now prioritize how to sell. Learning to sell is important to hire and fundraise but building is 80% of your time!

6% loss for Bay Area practically covers all gains for the rest! The question is are they seed or later stage deals today. A 6% shift where we are losing mostly angel/seed deals to other areas can/will balloon to 20-30% shift in 2-3 years

So many VCs use SVB to hold funds!
