9/ Founders Are Liars: “The beautiful thing about founders is their ability to lie to themselves, and the number one thing they lie about is whether they have product-market fit. The great founders, limit the amount the lie to themselves” – Michael Seibel
10/ Facebook/Google = NSA/CIA: “I think it’s actually a mistake to see them as different threats. What Facebook or Google does on a fundamental level is to keep private records and information about your life which is also what the NSA and CIA does – Edward Snowden
11/ Rolling Funds, Rolling All Over Old School VC: You don’t have to raise all of the money upfront. You don’t have to go beg for money every time like a syndicate (the money is in the bank account). You can publicly talk about your fund and solicit investments. - Avlok Kohli
