First, some background. Why haven’t we raised $? It wasn’t an intentional choice at first.

The future of Data Visualization, by the one and zesty @datacitron, is tool agnostic. Defining yourself by a title or tool can narrow your own growth. Define yourself by what you do, enjoy doing, and keep blowing your own mind! #Encore21 @GraphicHunters https://t.co/DzD5e9IIdA

New Data Vis Dispatch! With COP26 still ongoing, it’s another week full of #dataviz on the environment. And politics. And the politics of the environment 🌴🌳🌲 We collected the best of them here: https://t.co/pehoJgDlsn https://t.co/izCoXEhjji

The buy, borrow, die method of avoiding income tax isn't just for the ultra wealthy Someone should write a handbook on this topic for the average American and small business owner Here's what I've learned so far:

The standard problem-solution pitch treats fundraising conversations like a checklist ☑️ It has the right pieces... but it's not a memorable story 😩 Investors have to sell you to the rest of their partners. All you've given them is a list of facts. You need a better flow...

Prediction: the coming generation of AI-assisted creative tools are going to be surprisingly great. This idea of “say what you want, and the computer creates it” will be extended from programming to art. (Demo of the code version: https://t.co/twyhD8Ij5i)

@liangsays I want to learn more about what’s going on in China so badly, but I don’t really know where to start

Many “best practices” were created for a world that no longer exists. In the face of change, the routines that once moved you forward often become the ruts that hold you back. No practice is ever perfect. The day you stop being open to improving is the day you start stagnating.

Bootstrapping in 2021: 1. Setup LLC with Stripe Atlas, bank with Mercury 2. Loan the company $50 - $100k 3. Offer annual-only subscriptions for 4 months (for cashflow) 4. Once > $100k in annual rev, move to monthly plans and sell mrr on https://t.co/0jS0GovNZi 5. Profitable!

I started putting hourly rates on my time. The skill of making and managing money is more important than the money itself (as a student). This is why I think we should be introduced to making money as early as university. Imagine Getting Paid to Complete University: https://t.co/jrqteBcDGk

Nor is this an isolated case. It's not unusual for the most successful companies to have near-death experiences early on. Airbnb did too. It's because risk is proportionate to reward. The big ideas tend to be risky. https://t.co/MzkIJhd1Ye

It's happening. Elon, Zuck, all the smartest founders are going direct, building their own media arms, and routing around legacy media corporations. https://t.co/NYD43g5tks

@fintwit_news “I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars, there’s a certain freedom… that comes with that. But once you get much beyond that, I have to tell you, it’s the same hamburger.But being ambitious is good. You just have to pick what you enjoy doing.” — Bill Gates

My jaw dropped to the floor when I got this news. Facebook is shutting down the facial recognition system that it introduced more than 10 years ago and deleting the faceprints of 1 billion people: https://t.co/kzc9PhFffB

If you’re new to VC, one great way to start networking is to join slack groups that have virtual coffee matches every week. I’m a part of multiple & each week I get paired with different investors across the ecosystem. Starting with a blank networking slate is hard, try this!

God, State, Network. Theism, Statism, Numism. Numism, or the study of coins, puts a third Leviathan at the center of it all. The most powerful force in the world is considered to be neither god, nor the US military, but encryption. https://t.co/2NWGNraEx7

If we see someone throwing money away, we call that person crazy. Money has value. Wasting it seems nuts. And yet we see others—and ourselves—throw away something far more valuable every day: Time. https://t.co/eBEZ3ox424

Everytime I start BIG, I fail. Everytime I start small, I succeed bigger than I could have imagined.

@elonmusk @DrEliDavid Ahh...the UN bubble is finally being burst! Thank you @elonmusk @DrEliDavid for starting the conversation! The UN of today is exactly like the Wall Street Banks of 2008. Here's my analysis - it's a bit long, but very interesting on how the UN of today gets away scot free. https://t.co/FwAdjrAVZS
