Washington Bullets -> Washington Wizards In 1997, the team’s owner would change the team’s name to the Washington Wizards due to the extremely high crime rate in DC at the time. (here MJ playing in 2003 in his last season with a throwback jersey)

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
