"But the job of VCs is to help create an ecosystem regardless of the pedigree." - this is the biggest misconception in the startup echosystem. VC's job is not to nurture or create an ecosystem - they are here to maximise returns to their LPs. There is no other truth. As far

There are a few investors who have turned startups into status games. I’ve held back on saying this for a while but it needs to be called out. They will host events only for IIT/IIM founders. Some call it a mixer, but invite only unicorn founders and flaunt selfie pics with them.

AI models' likability is making you dumber and less courageous - most AI behaves like that corporate yes-yes-mens who will agree to everything you say and won't question you back/debate/prompt you to think deeper with tough questions. even after defining the prompts/setting it https://t.co/t0mKxuyNCl

Hard problems hardly make money. They serve as a dopamine to continue and have a lot of fun. And if you are used to solving (or dealing with) hard problems, making money won't be your first priority. And that's when you make money.

Great engineers love hard problems. Not all hard problems make money.

X: recommend me a few fiction books - adventure, thriller genre (not romance, family drama). bonus: not too many characters (would rather watch game of thrones then)

Inmobi (glance) is launching something similar tomorrow , I believe. And btw, google is an investor in glance.

Cursor is now free for students (supports Indian colleges as well). The AI coding war has begun (OpenAI is acquiring Windsurf). Who wins? The developers/teams/founders/PMs who can figure out 'WHAT" to build. Notes here: https://t.co/5dCeRXZK3K https://t.co/tCgCFMEgwk

Not early employees - but the founder(s). They are responsible for the bloat (and are one in many cases). ..Because 'how many people work for you' is a status symbol. ----- In another note, looks like layoffs are happening soon at a fintech unicorn :)

Kunal Shah @kunalb11

Instead of investing in automation, early employees of startup hire people. Those hires do the same. The result is a compounding spiral of headcount bloat. Not being automation first in the post AI world is a death wish.

Curious: What’ the future of blog/text content? Will they be written for humans - anymore? Or AI? What’d be the metrics against which they will be evaluated on? What’s your take?
