Another SF founder conversation that highlighted that a lot of AI ARRs that are being flaunted are not "real" in many many cases. Unfortunate, to say the least.

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a…

Dan Ives (@DivesTech) is one of the best analysts on Wall Street.

I’m only interested in funding startups in emerging markets

Y’all can have North America and Europe.

I’m focused on Latin America, Africa, and South-east Asia.

Hey Folks, this is something I’ve always wanted to do.

Starting today, I’m launching my own micro-investment fund of $30,000/year.

It’s called @VerveLaunchFund

From 2026, I’ll be investing $5000 in 6 super early stage startups across Africa, Latin America and South East… pic.twitter.com/Rl2ynYrU3K

Early-stage founders waste too much time perfecting features no one asked for.
Focus on increasing your surface area of luck.

Ship the imperfect version.
See what breaks.
Talk to the people who actually show up.

Every “overnight success” is really dozens of rough drafts shipped…

If you ever wonder how Chinese frontier models like Kimi, DeepSeek, and Qwen are trained on far fewer (and nerfed) Nvidia GPUs than US models.

In 1969, NASA’s Apollo mission landed people on the moon with a computer that had just 4KB of RAM.

Creativity loves constraints.

Breadth matters at seed. “Spray and pray” is a lazy pejorative and LPs who insist on spreading that toxic meme will destroy the firms they invest in and and their own returns. https://t.co/UWXglSVLEe

Good read below, here’s how we thought about it

Highly concentrated approach (~10-15 investments) at seed feels like the wrong strategy for most funds. IMO it requires a level of luck that is hard to count on.

When I moved to the Bay Area in 2007, everyone wanted to go viral. Growth was the dream. Marketing was decoration.

At the core of every legal, legitimate business is service. You serve people. And you make your money. Well, no better training ground than selfless service. And no better place than a church where to learn as to why you serve, why anyone serves.
