Saw this today... As we now know, in the long term, the tractor takes over 🙂

Spent day with family at a local amusement park. People of all sorts of races, color, religions, ethnicities and even nationalities…proudly wearing red, white and blue. Such a great country 🇺🇸, esp when we hold up its values and embrace our diversity.

Red Glass focuses at the intersection of AI and the physical world. Industrial companies in the physical world are experiencing a boost thanks to AI. Check out: “AI boom adds €150bn to value of four of Europe’s oldest industrial groups” www.ft.com/content/c0f3...

12 years of coming to Board meetings for Evolv Technology. Still feels like Day One for using advanced physics in hardware coupled with ML and AI to save lives from gun epidemic and terrorism.

RED - Passion, Courage GLASS - Transparency, Clarity Glass is also molded in fire, like founders. And sometimes glass turns out to be crystalline, even a diamond. Four core values: Curiosity, Intensity, Integrity, Humility

Told a founder to ignore the noise, stay heads down, and keep building…you know, the typical VC advice in difficult times. He texted back: “Bro, wtf you talking about. This is what we are dealing with.”

Beautiful day in SF. ☀️ Especially to hear Arab-American founders building incredible tech startups in AI. Nice to see many Persian-Americans and Desi-Americans supporting them.

This truly separates FOUNDERS from everyone else. Great entrepreneurs can do all three simultaneously.

So nice to meet and hang out with former partner and mentor during GC days: Larry Bohn. Larry was earliest investor in companies like Hubspot, DemandWare, Black Duck, Kensho and others. Importantly, he is a great human and has raised dollars to cure cancer for 25 years at PMC!

We should be preparing for Great Power competition in tech, business, global influence etc. Instead, leaders are busy igniting and flaming internal culture wars in the US. They think they are fixing America but this image depicts what they’re really doing.

Glad someone posted this. The semiconductor value chain. More $$ accumulating at the top. NVIDIA isn’t just a semis company, it’s also an incredible software company.

It’s already New Years where my parents are at. Started off their new year with my most important New Year’s resolution. Talk to them more often. See them more often. Think of them more often. Act every time how they would want me to. Happy New Year!

A President of the USA who advocated for peace and human rights passed away today. This citizen of the world’s love for humanity, and passion for doing good for people, will be remembered for a long time. They don’t make ‘em like they used to. RIP President Jimmy Carter. 🤍🕊️

One moment you are pulling all-nighters at MIT dreaming of the future that lies ahead… Another moment you are doing laundry at 1am so your kids can have the clothes they want Monday morning. 🤣

Very nice to meet Jonathan Bi in person. He is doing excellent work promoting history, knowledge, and principles of philosophy in society. God knows we need more intellectual conversations around philosophy, psychology, and art! Check out his videos online.

Courage is doing the right thing, esp when it’s not convenient, not popular, and likely misunderstood. Leaders need to show courage, more than anything else. Even if we may disagree with their choices. True for nation builders, founders, CEOs, investors, every one of us.

It’s all memes and jokes until your neighbors, friends, and relatives start committing suicide. This is doxxing at another level.
