To the VC that told me I wasnât investible⌠đ¸
A VC once told meâverbatim;
âYouâre not investibleâ
âWhat youâre doing has no valueâ
âYou donât have a deep whyâ
And I am here to remind youâevery single brilliant, talented one of youâthat even if youâre feeling like nothing is going right. Youâre burnt the F out. Youâre giving it your all but feeling stuck: What youâre doing is valuable. You are investible and eveeeen if not everyone sees your vision right away, there will be people that do believe in you and are hyped as hell to invest in you.
I promise you, weâre out here proving itâs possible đŠˇ
Gold Tweets This Week đ
1/ Sis, life isnât always about getting it right:
The most important skill you should master isnât making right decisions. Itâs surviving the wrong decision. No one is capable of making right decisions. You just try to stay alive until some of your decisions turn out good.

â¨Great news just in⨠Life isn't always about getting it right. But it is about bouncing back when you donât. No one gets every decision perfect. You actually just keep going until one of them is. Itâs a process of elimination.
There are two types of decisions: reversible ones (think of doors that swing both ways) and irreversible ones (once you walk through, there's no turning back). Make the doors-both-ways ones fast, and take your time with the second. What matters most is that you keep moving forward just that 1% every day.
2/ âThis is what we want to see AI being used forâ:
How-fucking-exciting. Innovation in its finest formâwow.
