At VerticesCap, we help family offices succeed in venture capital.

dear algo: pls show this to angel investors still tracking their portfolios in spreadsheets
i’m building @ask_angelo_
reply with the number of startups you’ve backed and the most annoying part of managing your angel portfolio
if there’s a fit, i’ll dm you
dear algo: pls show this to cracked founders under 1k followers
i want to offer 3 founders completely free ongoing advice and support, and perhaps funding
about you:
- you’re building something genuinely new and interesting, if i’ve heard it 100 times before i will ignore you
- you have early traction (real users, or at least one paying pilot)
- you have been a hustler, finding creative ways to make money in the past
- you have huge ambitions
- you’re receptive to feedback and coachable
- bonus points if you dropped out (high school / college) to build
in order to be chosen, reply to this with the most creative way you’ve made money, and your company one-liner
use verbs, not adjectives to explain what you do in simple english
no fucking ‘ai platform for x’ but tell me exactly what your product actually DOES for its users
if its sick i’ll dm you 👇

More "frontier" theses
We are excited to announce @HadickM and @tomhschmidt have been promoted to Managing Partners, joining @hosseeb and Bo in leading Dragonfly.
The promotions recognize the role both have played in shaping Dragonfly into the firm it is today, and mark the firm’s move to a broader partnership. As co-leaders, Rob and Tom will help carry forward what Dragonfly has always done: backing the founders building the future of money and markets.
Hard to be fully on one side (the VC asking for the blurb) or on the other (the founder not willing to do a blurb for the VC)
One word only:
everyone (VC/Founder) has no excuse not to build their AI brain, be it on their portcos or on their company, that can easily craft a blurb
i routinely ask for founders to email me a blurb that i can forward it along
founders should always have a blurb ready that's just part of sales
a blurb allows you to refine your positioning-market fit
a blurb also helps the company understand how customers react to product and differentiation ideas
My goal for the next 2 months is to record 3 episodes for my podcast @runwayseries (200+ ep.) about the agentic economy with:
✨ Justine @venturetwins from @a16z
✨ Ben @Bencera from @polsia
✨ Dillon @dillonrolnick from @NousResearch
Here is why: 👇
With Dillon @dillonrolnick from @NousResearch on the open infrastructure layer: why the future of agents depends on user-owned, extensible, and decentralized agent stacks.
One of my latest podcast episodes on the agent economy:
podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcas…
Now that my podcast @runwayseries is definitely focused on everyday money and everyday finance, shall I rename my whole podcast "everyday money"?
Best part is when Dill (@dillonrolnick) realises that in French "Nous Con" means "We Idiot"
