If you are looking for your next job, just consider that your future employers will read your blog and your comments here. Since you consider yourself as a CEO type, you are fine, then. However, when you want to raise money from VCs, the latter can also read your comments.
- andytratt 2mo agostart with past employers then proceed to future employers my raincom bro
- andytratt 2mo agoi have considered it for 7 years from when i started blogging 60 days straight which is what got me hired to Namebase, Clever, Scale AI and the whole adult life started. do you recall raincom, where you there, when i lived those 7 years? lol
- andytratt 2mo agoi sincerely hope all people on the internet who care to read these comments do in fact read them. there are a lot and more each time someone comments and i reply, and it is pretty overwhelming as an artifact. and that is the point of comments sections.
- andytratt 2mo agoversus the original artifact which you write with great care and edit and revise then publish to the official blog andys.blog which i did. thanks.
- andytratt 2mo agoyes right ceo type fine can speak mind free speech murica. good. net worth go up = freedom go up yay, get revenue, get users, become un-fire-able. or FIRE = independence retire early yes? move to 3rd world country yes? oops been there done that. haha
- andytratt 2mo agoah yes i do recall in 2017 when i did that precisely that job for 3mo as Pillar.VC got off the ground with Parker & Tiff in seaport and we just read tons of random boston little newsletters to "source deals" and "analyze" the internet and find things about "founders" who were just little kids who did nothing and had no good ideas to fund. the fund did well. by well i have no f** clue what IRR was but i took months 3-6 of the internship and finished MIT instead of working the full term of the $5k/mo internship that Jamie Goldstein hired me for. so their headcount and portfolio at least grew beyond Russ Jamie Sarah + interns to a multiple funds thing thing, staple of Boston idk whatever VC on east coast "Big VC" oooo scary it was a waste of time and of the firm's money to do this meaningless "background checks" i'm sure Russ and Sarah and Jamie would tell you the same. they don't regret not working with me longer Parker was the better hire for the firm. haha Tiff has done amazing since. so idk exactly what you mean - what VC and how do they research and what's SignalFire's latest from Andrew Ng at Greenoaks the chess prodigy YC founder who built literally the tool to source AI on the graph of the internet and calibrate founder elo per Sequoia's secret sauce... Andrew may or may not be my friend from Scale AI poker nights when we played bughouse with Alex Wang i dont remember i just go all in on the poker table. oh did you read that mr vc: https://world.hey.com/tratt/how-i-won-16k-in-a-poker-tournament-ffeb46df https://world.hey.com/tratt/how-i-won-16k-in-a-poker-tournam... oh no you didn't oops and tell me exactly how you plan to scrape the internet as a VC cuz my output is prolific and i guarantee gemini will tell a clear story no problem about Andy Trattner on the internet with the appropriate credence. regardless of this HN thread.
- andytratt 2mo agogoogle it or grok gemini it i dont care. just try mythos it's fabled 6x
- rsynnott 2mo agoI mean, honestly, the state of VCs these days, this might work to his advantage.
