China has invested a ton in energy over the last 25 years. The US has been mostly stagnant. An abundant future needs abundant energy! It's time to build.

4/ Energy is considered a solved problem. The Chinese government’s investment in sustainable energy — from advanced hydropower to next-generation nuclear — means that, relative to many other markets, electricity supply is secure and inexpensive. Everywhere we went, people treated energy availability as a given. This is a stark contrast to the U.S., where AI growth is increasingly tied to debates over data center power consumption and grid limitations.

I know, right? It’s why we started @Chime
My Administration is making clear that charging Americans for a bounced check they deposit or an overdrafted bank account isn't just wrong. It's illegal.

1/ Over ~20 yrs at @MenloVentures learning from @roku @chime @uber etc., one mistake is repeated repeatedly: Startups fail by building towards a mission vs an MVP. We’ve built a framework to help founders avoid that fate. How to design a winning MVP, using Roku as a case study:

Favorite part of @StartupGrind chat with CMO of @Chime Melissa Alvarado today: she was disheartened early in her career when she realized that traditional financial institutions have business models that rely on consumers living beyond their means.
