After strong consideration and strong public demand, I've decided to make it clear as to how my name is pronounced: (Moh-Sheh)
Thanks @JulianMoncadaNY for the inspiration and @BoatShuman for the extra nudge. Looking forward to not having to correct anyone anymore :)

I genuinely don’t understand why it’s so hard for people to see that Hamas is killing their own people both *literally* and *figuratively*
Would love to understand how someone struggles to comprehend this!
I would quote tweet @paulg but he blocked me
1) These are Hamas' statistics
2) anyone under 18 is a "child", even if a militant
3) Hamas/PIJ has misfired 1k+ rockets into Gaza; these deaths are blamed on Israel
4) Hamas is preventing people from fleeing

Mia energy is real & seems like it has a chance for SF-like serendipity
I came in skeptical & am leaving with a new view on the city & it’s potential
The level of excitement that @MiamiMayor has for his city is infectious. Very akin to that of a founder for their company.

Pleased to announce 🥳
Today we're launching the new shrug.vc 🚀
We haven't been very public about things, including teaming up with @MLifschitz32 and the companies we've invested in
The new site (and deck) helps paint the full picture, with lots of easter eggs ;)

It's scary how off you are. Why the hell do you think it's normal to take elderly women captive?
How would you react if your parents or grandparents were taken captive and held as a hostage? Highly doubt you'd say it's ok they're going on vacation...
What's wrong with you?

Mine is “always be the sponge in the room” (also from my dad) i.e. always be learning and never think you know everything! Something that is so important to my day to day life — especially as a VC.

Great quote from an investor update I got today:
"We plan to be 100% transparent/brutally honest in our updates. We want your hard hitting feedback, even if it hurts......If we wanted cheerleaders, we'd speak to our parents"
Keep it real w/your investors it'll only help!

You literally make it seem like they're heros for freeing 2 of 200+ hostages who are elderly women that should've never even been a thought to take hostage in the first place
G-d should send you help fast bro. Hamas is scum of the earth and if you can't admit that then your worthless

Do you agree that the main cause for innocent Palestinian deaths are due to Hamas and their antics around placing innocent civilians as human shields in all forms?
Also, do you agree that the IDF has NO INTEREST in killing innocent civilians and out of every army in the world notifies ppl and goes to the furthest extent to avoid doing so.
On top of that, calling Oct 7th just a "murdering of Israelis" is an insane understatement.
All in all and most importantly do you agree that Hamas should be completely eradicated? Because if so, then I'm un sure what you suggest the IDF do differently than what they are currently trying to do...unfortunately.

Hadrian is 🤯 and there's no one better to give the rundown on what they're building.
This one is a must read!
@2112Power is going to save America and bring manufacturing to the next level.

Hadrian builds semi-automated factories that build precision parts for rockets and satellites.
It just raised $90M from a16z, Lux, & Founders Fund.
@2112Power wants to reverse American decline and keep the solar system free.

"Track record" in venture is WAY more than just financial returns
The best founders need to *pick you* & I highly doubt they care about how much $ was made on a previous investment
The best leading indicator for future success (IMO) is how founders talk abt/vouch for you

Investment thesis -> listen to Roger.
...if you perceive a company to have spectacular potential at seed but you can’t get to your target ownership at the outset, INVEST. This is not something I believed in my younger days but certainly believe now. This isn’t a change in strategy; it’s a tactic for max optionality

People look at your cold emails (even ones who you think would NEVER open a cold email). If you write good cold emails you will get answers!
REMINDER: take the time to properly craft your cold emails!

You’re missing this: nitter.app/marionawfal/status/172…
It’s been made extremely clear by Hamas themselves that the hospital is used as their headquarters and thereby it’s no shock that it contains a massive tunnel network below (the same way it works for every other hospital, masque, school, etc)
It’s truly sad how you’re missing the point that Hamas is the one doing this to innocent babies, civilians, and everyone else in Gaza.
You can’t act the way Hamas did on Oct 7th, hold hostages in the basement of hospitals, and expect everyone to just look the other way.

Eating food and not knowing how your body responds should be a foreign thing.
It's crazy to think that people claimed to offer "personalized health" before/without this!
.@unlocklevels is one of the coolest consumer health products I’ve seen.
It gives you real-time feedback on how your body responds to specific foods.
