Five core jobs of a CEO:
1. Nail down strategy for company
2. Deliver capital to pursue that strategy
3. Build team to execute
4. Communicate the hell out of company strategy (internally and externally)
5. Hold people accountable.
RIP good times.
It’s time to build real companies, with real technologies, to solve real problems.
With real revenues, realistic spend levels, and focused fundraises from value-add investors.
1) Attended a whole bunch of Board meetings this week on both coasts. Sharing some quick observations on what I typically see work well at Board meetings.
I moved to this country 26 years ago with a one-way ticket and $300 in my pocket.
My parents lived in Pakistan, and I cleaned toilets and washed dishes at $4.75/hour to speak to my parents at a cost of 4-5minutes per month, and to pay for books.
America is an amazing country!
25 years ago my family moved to US w/ $500
Now Im a homeowner in a city thats majority-immigrant
This year immigrants invented mRNA vaccine technology & heavy lift reusable rockets
Anyone that tries to tell you America isn't the greatest fucking country on Earth is delusional
When I speak to companies that raised $100-200m+ dollars and failed, I routinely hear: “We raised too much money, and instead of thinking strategically about the market and building products customers wanted, we tried to brute force our way through it. And ran out of money.”
I am hearing of Jewish friends all over the country going to Muslim mosques, offering prayer, holding hands, and standing together in solidarity against barbarism, hate, and racism. Just the way Muslims did after Pittsburgh.
This is amazing. May we together fight this curse.
Look asshole: you attacked the United States Congress, and tried to topple its government.
I was getting the SSSS printed on my airport Boarding cards (that meant ‘extra screening’) for years after 9/11 just because I had the same religion as the assholes who attacked us then.
People who broke into the Capitol Wednesday are now learning they are on No-Fly lists pending the full investigation. They are not happy about this. x.com/ExpertMilkshak…
