Reading this 2022 federal budget and just learned something that blows my mind… of the $637.7B allocated to Dept of Education, less than 10% is for K-12/SpecialEd. A whopping 88% ($561B) is for collegiate “financial aid “ (eg student loans) 🤯🤯🤯

@typesfaster That’s a good Q - in theory I guess on some of it the USG is making a 1.4% spread between the 5% undergrads pay and the 3.6% interest they pay on 30 year treasuries. Sick carry trade

@grahamgintz Warm intros are valued because they help investors prioritize their time. They only count as “warm” if you respect the person making the intro. And an intro from anyone who spends their days hawking their network for $100 a pop is not a person a serious VC will take signal from

Nothing against UFC but if @budlight is serious about repairing the brand they need to pay penance directly to the people they’ve alienated: 1) close NYC office & move all execs back to MO 2) double pay for their US-based blue collar workers 2) 10% of profits to veteran support

@rexsalisbury @toptal This is why every SAFE ever done by an institutional VC now has side letters providing protection from this stuff Results in same legal cost And it’s up to founders if they extend that to all the smaller checks Idk why this isn’t universally understood 10 years later

Big moves by my man @mattlmckinney , Shaosu Liu and Javi Vigil ! One of the fastest moving companies I’ve ever seen. From whiteboard to live and processing millions of payments in a matter of months. @8VC is proud to be invested and on the board
