In honor of @bscholl and team @boomsupersonic's historic supersonic flight today... here's a clip of my son doing a double aileron roll at Mach 1.1 in the sim! Plus a few from the archives:
1) Buying Geppetto and Doc cheap burritos to celebrate XB-1's first flight last year
2) Commemorating a 1/1 piece by @timmcdonagh from his 2018 WSJ illustration at XB-1's unveiling in 2020
3) My Twitter team touring the original XB-1 mockup in 2016
Ten years in the making... slowly, then all at once. Blake exists at the intersection of grit and grandiosity. Excelsior, my friend!
Could not be prouder of my friend @bscholl … and of my angel investment in @boomsupersonic - putting the literal accelerate in e/acc!
Today marks a big milestone toward the rebirth of supersonic passenger flight. For the first time in decades, a civil supersonic airplane has taken to the skies. The @boomsupersonic XB-1 met all of its first flight objectives—and we’re only going further, higher, and faster from here.
Who enjoyed having @nikitabier on stage at our @GreylockVC Collective angel summit? 🙋🏻♂️
With a h/t to @DavidSacks — I learn something every time I hang with @realEstateTrent… looking forward to tmrw night!
He was a VP of Product at Twitter.
He sold his company for over $500M.
Yes, @crazyfoo WILL be in the room tomorrow night!!!
Seeya soon, Josh 🔥
...and I'm stoked back in business with them, plus the whole @SceneryCo team and @mayafrai who helped lead this as her first deal since joining @GreylockVC!
It’s snow joke that I will miss your puns and our shared willingness to be weird at the firm’s parties… Excelsior!
Congrats team @coinbase on the debut of $COIN! My blog post: Of Missionaries and Maximalists -- in which I recount a lunch with @brian_armstrong that sealed my investment in 2017. greylock.com/portfolio-news/…
Just finished this excellent post by my partner @dwadhwani, and loved this in particular... the entirety is worth your time!
1/ Getting through a crisis is more than weathering the storm. Take action today to make your company stronger, more resilient and better prepared for the recovery. Wanted to share some of my learnings from previous recessions with other execs and CEOs. greylock.com/finding-opportu…
If you want a real throwback, here's a pic of the three of us at an Ads PM taiko drumming offsite! (You far right, David far left!) Look closely to see the rest of the star-studded team!
For almost 17 years - starting in 2003 when we shared a cubicle as early PMs at Google - I've known @davthack is a star. As we often see with the best startup teams, it speaks volumes to choose and be chosen by the same partners throughout one's career. 4/5
