Love #SpaceX and what they do, but cannot wrap my mind around the metrics the stock is trading at. Is it being driven by all those ETFs and funds that have to buy in as part of their fund requirements? #elonmusk #tesla

Impressed with #USMNT victory over #Paraguay in the opening match of Group D at the #WorldCup2026. Now thats out of the way, its going to be about navigating the rest of the group matches without injury or suspensions!

Reviewed 100 deep tech decks this year. The single biggest red flag isn't weak IP — it's founders who can't name the competitor update that hurts them most. If I find it in 20 minutes of searching and it's not in your deck, that tells me everything. #venturecapital #startups

Everyone's funding quantum machines. Few are funding the components they all need — cryogenics, photonics, control electronics. In every gold rush I've seen in 10 years of deep tech investing, picks-and-shovels delivered the quietest, best risk-adjusted returns. #quantumcomputing

What #entrylevel jobs are still relevant for #graduates today? My prediction is that new disciplines will emerge that incorporate both STEM and non-STEM curriculum. #ArtificialIntelligence will own overly specialised jobs.

Valuation is not validation. Focus on building the business and not just chase a higher valuation. Work with investors who are aligned with this strategy. #howtobuildacompany #advicetovc
