106 Miles

@106miles

A meetup for entrepreneurial engineers and friends. 😎 Being an entrepreneur is like being 106 miles to Chicago when it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses. 😎

Remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour … So remember, when you’re feeling very small and insecure, how amazingly unlikely is your birth; and pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere out in space…

“A philosopher once asked, ‘Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?’ Pointless, really ... ‘Do the stars gaze back?’ Now, THAT’S a question.” Neil Gaiman, Stardust ✨ 119/ youtube.com/watch?v=44cv41…

Success is not about winning a competition. It’s about making a contribution. Takers aim to be better than others. Givers strive to bring out the best in others. The most meaningful way to succeed is to help others succeed. adamgrant.substack.com/p/the-most-mea…

For the rest of my days — for as long as I live — I will always remember your lovely words: “The only love you can actually feel is the love you give.” 🤍

common Series A mistakes from me, @ilyasu & @milesgrimshaw - not enough vision - bring back seed energy - bluffing - not saying "I don't know" enough - not treating pitch as learning opp - investors w/similar investments aren't always best fit

Great (slightly nerve-wracking day) of marathon moderating with @sashaorloff @blader and @ilyasu @mercebent @milesgrimshaw and @darian314 for @mercury

This thread needs to be shouted from the mountaintops. If your entire use case is on top of someone else’s model, you’re gonna get crushed. It needs to be AI + Your own unique value proposition

Microsoft and Google just wiped out dozens of startups. A thread about competitive advantage... in the age of AI:

“Wisdom doesn’t come from experience. It comes from reflecting on experience... Gaining insight and perspective is not about the number of years you’ve lived. It’s about the number of lessons you’ve learned.” @AdamMGrant
