The problem is that the same argument is used in dictatorships to ban people and activist from traditional media(print/TV). Right now, what prevents Russian government/companies going to twitter and telling them look guys, you jus

I don't know what is the right answer. It is like we are stuck between two evils. One is censorship, that is used by dominant group to silence everyone else. Another is bunch of minority groups that might have outlandish aims and use f

This is just nuts, people know zilch about risk management. It is just a wealth transfer from people with zero knowledge to professional traders and brokers. Paying of credit cards, maximising your tax return, investing in things you 100% u

It is definitely hard and stressful, but when you have your own company, it is up to you to decide how you want to run the company. You don't have to have co-founders, you don't have to take VC money. You don't have to do any

Well, I don't think Grant and Thai are scammers from SEC point of view. They run marketing companies, selling books, lectures, online courses. They also have investment vehicles on the side, but they are pretty straight forward. SEC mo

I personally hate these initiatives because they don't deal with problem at the core. They should have policies that address every fund they manage, not some 100m, which is peanuts for them. I really like how YC does it. Yes, there are

Founders always have skin in the game. It is called their time. Their lifetime is a very finite resource. In reality, very few founders just raise straight away. 99% of founders spend a significant amount of time working on their business b

It will be pretty hard to pass on company with a real PMF, irrelevant of anything else. I don't feel that 99% of what people call PMF really exists. I don't think of AI/Blockchain startups ever had PMF at Series A stage and n

Derisking business too early can be dangerous as well. Volatility unlocks opportunities. A little bit of noise in the system is the secret sauce.

YC partners doing a lot of introduction during the fundraising process. It puts them in a tough spot. If YC partner writes to an investor, this company is awesome, plz invest and then investor asks if YC is going to invest? And they get bac

The problem here is that everyone will know if YC will follow up or not during the process. Investing is game of information. If an investor can’t figure out who else will be on the cap table, they have much bigger problem. The way it is go

It is brilliant because it is brilliant and if you read 3 times and can’t see the brilliance, then.... Just stating that something is good doesn’t make it good, even though people might believe it. We have a book, which was written quite a

Controversial point, but PGs writing is F-. It seems a lot of effort goes into sounding smart, rather then delivering information required. Who learned anything from above?

Well that’s why people in power and leadership roles make big bucks. They must make sure that everyone performs to the max of their ability and at the same time limit risks. Otherwise it is work discrimination light.

Yes. On serious note, it is huge opportunity even as non VC scale biz. It is infinite in nature. I think the problem lies in gender education in schools and colleges, where people get lost in transition to adult life. Like hitting on everyo

The problem is that risk reward is so skewed in other direction. For anyone to accuse someone of sexual harassment is 100% career killing move. So when 2 people in the room, the one with least power has the most to loose in bringing accusat

But a result, you treat them unfairly vs male colleagues. Also same logic can be applied to any minority who is not in power. I can’t be in room with black, trans-gender, gay, immigrants etc. So as result the only people who you built relat
