When I was a founder, I thought that pretty much all VCs were lazy.
Their lives seemed easy--just sit around a conference room, say yes or no to a bunch of founders, and maybe leave work early to play some golf.
That might be true for some VCs, but since joining this side of the table 8 years ago, I've learned that most VCs are actually hustling quite hard. Especially if you are starting your own fund from scratch.
I did something I've never done before--invite a filmmaker into my home to follow me for an entire day of work at @HustleFundVC. I'm so grateful to @willsclips_ for documenting this day-in-the-life video.
We had a full 14-hour-day, and Will did an exceptional job showing highlights of what life as an emerging manager actually looks like.
This job I have is relentless, and it's also the most purpose-driven role I've ever had. Grateful to my team, founders, investors, angels, and ecosystem partners for the community we've built at Hustle Fund.
Hope you can check out the full documentary. Thank you again @willsclips_, you are so good at what you do!

Wow.
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

Before becoming an investor, I ran an ad company called LaunchBit 15+ years ago. Building a startup is still super hard, but the tasks have gotten more fun. Here's the tedious ops stuff I did manually. Read on >>
Full disclosure: I'm a Mercury investor and partner

Kimi, you're welcome to wash my Odyssey, any time.
From @TheAthletic: Kimi Antonelli is on the verge of Formula 1 history and could become F1's youngest champion on Sunday in just his second season. But first, he’ll hand-wash his car. nyti.ms/4yZMwZn
Good humans do win. For example, @gefensk.
You're absolutely right — and honestly? This hits different. 🚀
It's not just AI writing. It's a paradigm shift in how we delve into the rich tapestry of human communication.
Here's the thing:
✅ Your lawyer? Not just a lawyer — a thought partner.
✅ Your group chat? Not just a chat — a journey.
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, authenticity isn't just a buzzword. It's a testament. 💡
Great question, Ali! Let me know if you'd like me to expand on any of these points! 😊
Excited to announce @Mercury crossing $1bn/yr in revenue and 450k customers.
Just getting started!

1/ I caught up with a friend from high school this weekend. She was in town for her 20th Stanford reunion. She's extremely accomplished and used to be an executive at a big, well-known company, but she left to join a small startup, and it shut down. Read on >>
Awesome Founder Friends DC tomorrow!!
the munitions gap in the us is a production capacity problem
@dkrajendra is solving it at deterrence with robots that make energetics 💣
tomorrow, he’ll share how he’s innovating in a legacy space that’s operated the same way for ~100 years

Singapore, thank you! 🏎️🇸🇬
We had the best time hosting our annual LP party during F1 weekend. It was so good to catch up with our LPs and investor friends over drinks, swap stories, and just hang out. We’re lucky to have such amazing people in our corner. 💛
Big thanks to @SGglobalnetwork for supporting the event and helping bring everyone together.

LA, you were a blast!
Huge thanks to all our portfolio founders who came out for dinner last night. It was so fun catching up, hearing what you’re all working on, and celebrating the wins (there were a lot of them!). Hanging out with you all is the best part of the job. 💛
And a big shoutout to our sponsors @SGglobalnetwork for making it happen.
Thanks for showing up for our founders. Let’s do it again soon! 💫
What kind of tire can actually handle the torque of the Roadster?
Doing the napkin math on a sub-one-second 0 to 60 mph run explains the biggest engineering debate swirling around tonight’s demo.
Hitting 60 mph in under a second takes more than 2.75 Gs of acceleration, while the stickiest street-legal tires on dry pavement max out around 1.5 Gs of friction. Past that limit, adding more motor torque just turns rubber into smoke.
That is why everyone is arguing over the teaser image right now. When people flipped the teaser photo 180 degrees upside down, they realized the four plumes match up with US Patent 12,746,987 B1, granted to Tesla on September 29 for a skirtless four-fan rear diffuser that vacuums the car to the road. Whether tonight shows off SpaceX cold-gas thrusters, quad electric suction fans, or both, Tesla had to rewrite aerodynamics just to get past the friction limit of rubber.
