I'm proud of this profile of Neo and me. "We hope to invest throughout a person's life cycle and regardless of directions that they take," he said. "You miss a lot if you're focused transactionally and treat a person as just serving one purpose." www.businessinsider.com/ali-partovi-...

Goodbye Sunriver, Oregon. Final night of Neo Accelerator startup bootcamp was amazing, complete with casino night and meteor shower.

Why are the words "tweet" and "retweet" registered trademarks? There's a clear argument that these have been generic words all along and not corporate brands -- doubly so now that Twitter is changing its name to "X" and there are many alternative places to tweet and retweet.
