Last week, I wrote 2 checks to Canadian founders 🇨🇦

I hate when I ask someone for something and they ask when I need it by... because the answer is always "now" but I can't say that because I'd be an a**hole

Today, @GetKoho announced $130M in new capital at a $1.33B valuation.
We’re very happy to welcome Mubadala, Savano Capital, @tobi, CEO, Founder of Shopify, and Michael Linford, COO of Affirm, to the KOHO story. We’re also grateful for the continued support of Drive Capital, Portage Ventures, Eldridge, BDC Capital, and HOOPP.
One of my favourite things about KOHO is that the only way we win is if millions of Canadians choose us. We cannot out-spend or out-market. We have to out-build. The progress we have made reflects the progress our users have made.
So, while we feel very proud of what’s behind us, we’re much more humbled by what’s in front of us. With this capital, we’ve earned the right to keep building on our promise to users. That job remains monumental, and we’re very honoured that we get to do the work.
I want to thank the team for their incredible work these past few years. The world doesn’t yet know how talented, smart and kind the KOHO Collective is - but they will.
I want to thank our investors for their continued trust and support. We’re lucky to have partners who recognize and support the need to take the longer view here.
More than anything, I want to thank our users. We’ve come a long way with much farther to go. We’ll keep earning your trust every damn day.
Back to work 🔥

miss the era when:
fable was a story
sonnet was a poem
haiku was shorter poem
gemini was a zodiac sign
opus was your life's work
agent worked for the CIA
& a token was something you put in an arcade machine

Porsche and Pixar unveiled three special 911s to coincide with the release of Toy Story 5.
Each car is meant to be based on a main character from the film. There's a Buzz Lightyear, a Jessie, and—of course—a Woody.

I have a feeling "AI Professionals" in this context means fake certificates from fake colleges for unprofessional immigrants

AI professionals could soon have a faster route to work in Canada.
The federal government has announced plans for an expedited work permit stream that would issue permits in 20 days or less, with measures to support future PR transitions.

If you build it, they will come
Set is ready @ElonMusk
We built it 25min from downtown Austin and can shoot anytime in the next 7 days on 1h notice.
Humanity is on the verge of becoming a multi-planet species and spacefaring civilization.
My goal with this interview is to help people viscerally feel what that future is going to look like and get everyone excited to help build it.

In Canada you have to start every Claude session with land acknowledgment first or Mark Carney will personally come & shoot you in the knee.

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) has over 2,000 employees.
Top 5 managers, make more than $5 million per year.
They have never beaten the market.
Nevada has 1 guy. Who invests in ETFs.
Does nothing. All day.
And he outperforms the CPP.
Consistently.
For further context, if CPP invested in QQQ, for the last 10 years, instead of $800 billion in assets, we would have $2.4 Trillion.
VOO would put it at $1.6 trillion.
Lesson: The government will never outperform the market.
So don’t think the Sovereign Debt Fund will be any different.
