Just your daily reminder if you're looking for jobs at startups you should bug your VC friends! I have way more visibility now than I did as a candidate across sectors / stages + it's one of the (IMO) few ways VCs can actually be helpful...

partner @kleinerperkins; previously investing @foundersfund, first pm & early eng @scale_ai; if you like infra, ML, or poker let's chat
- Once you realize you can cold message most people and nothing that bad will happen (worst case, they ignore or don't see), a whole world of possibilities opens.
- I’m excited to share that I’m joining @kleinerperkins as a Partner to invest in the next generation of history-making founders, esp. those working on infrastructure & ML applications. I’ve long admired KP's investing strategy & portfolio, and am thrilled to be part of the team!
- Today, I'm closing the door on my time at Founders Fund. It's been an incredible few years of learning, working with some of the most legendary investors as well as an unbelievable broader team & set of portfolio companies. Thanks to everyone that helped me grow!
- Product exec at startup, in response to codegen tools: “I told my PMs we are done with specs or PRDs. Prototypes only.”
- OH in SF: “I couldn’t give my boyfriend the full allocation he wanted in my seed round, so he floated the idea of us getting married instead” 😂
- Just learned a portco founder keeps a leaderboard of all investors and gives a person a point with each candidate referral, customer intro, etc. Also found out I am in the lead, but am now even more energized knowing there’s a competition... good way to gamify your cap table 😂
- I'm excited to announce I'll be investing @foundersfund! I can’t wait to partner with companies that are passionate about building a better future & not afraid to make crazy bets on themselves. As for #miami (because, twitter) -- I will go soon if this tweet gets 10k likes 😂
- Honored to be on the Midas Brink List this year! I am very thankful every day for the world-class founders, operators, and investors who trust me with their partnership. I’m excited for what’s to come - onwards!
