    My first company @Twitch sold for a billion dollars. My second one lost $75 million in 36 months. People love talking about success, but today I'm going to talk about failure. It's time to be honest about Atrium:

    In every startup, you need: - Someone who always wants to get shit done - Someone who obsesses over numbers - Someone who is honest about shit that doesn't work - Someone who is eternally optimistic

    3. Subpoena all emails and phone calls between the Wall Street banks and Robinhood (Robinhood gives its shares to Wall Street banks to lend out to hedge fund clients to short through prime brokerage).

    10 months ago we shut down Atrium after raising $75m in venture capital. Anyone hearing that knows I made tons of mistakes along the way. Someone asked me today what my biggest lessons learned were. Here they are:
