Marc Andreessen’s Focus Alpha playlist features Hans Zimmer - whose Jewish mother fled Nazi Germany.

Meanwhile, his manifesto praises fascists and alt-right theorists.

Shouldn’t you Focus Alpha on human rights?

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

I’m too trustful for this world. April 1st is always so stressful 🤦‍♀️

Make russia small again, one r minor at a time.

What is the WORST cut you’ve done while bootstrapping your startup?

I’ll start: me & my co-founder cut our (ultra expensive) therapists.

They (the therapists, and literally everyone else) said it was a bad idea.

They were right.

When applying for the US tourist visa, you must provide your twitter handle, LinkedIn link and basically show everything you do online.

Watching so much hate speech, I feel like many Americans wouldn’t get through this process.

We have too little accountability.

Oh and I didn’t get a visa.

How do you record your product demos?

I literally have a sticky note with what I have to show, because my iPhone is busy being my camera.

Do you know anyone working on psychodelic-assisted treatment for #PTSD?

An organization providing #PAT for Ukrainian veterans, POWs and sexual assault survivors is looking to connect with institutions and foundations working in this area.

The #Nonprofit sector will likely see a talent decline because of the funding freeze 😔

Read “Apple is exploiting humanoid and non-humanoid robots” and it didn’t sound weird.

This day of my #BuildInPublic journey marks a confirmation from the very first user who starts using @getkweet.com next week 💃 The journey has truly begun 🫡

Kweet - Get new donors for your nonprofit Get new donors for your nonprofit with Kweet. Analyze, predict and improve your social media performance to grow your organisation's revenue and impact faster than ever.

Feedback is everything.

Every conversation with nonprofit leaders has shaped how we’re building Kweet, and, most importantly, WHAT EXACTLY we are building first.

That said, our #waitlist is open to all nonprofits looking to roll their sleeves and get new donors via social media ✊

getkweet.com

When we first started building @getkweet.com we thought we knew exactly what #nonprofits needed - after all, we run a nonprofit, too!

Spoiler: We were wrong.

Nonprofits come in all shapes and sizes, and our experience was just a drop in the ocean of overwhelm, manual work and wearing six hats.

Best book to (re)read right now is “On Tyranny” by @timothysnyder.bsky.social

The #nonprofit sector is entering its biggest crisis worldwide. #USAID

What YOU can do:

1. Become a donor
2. Volunteer your time and skills
3. Research your company’s matching program
4. Spread a word about nonprofits you support
5. Fundraise for them

Haha I feel like to achieve the “pro vegan” badge I’d need to add nuts 😅

Me on LinkedIn: AI, building a startup, #FemaleFounder challenges…
Me on Bluesky: look I lunch like a 5 yo.

They say “Don’t mix business with pleasure.”
But here we are.
It’s hard.
It’s messy.
And sometimes it’s too much together time.
But it’s also incredible.

Have you ever worked with your loved one?
How did it go? (Still together? Barely hanging on? Thriving?)

3️⃣ Roles must be clear - or chaos wins.
If "I’ll take care of it" actually means "We’ll both stress about it," you’re in trouble.
We drew a hard line:
You own this. I own that.

There will be overlaps. But when your essential roles are made of steel, it’s a lot harder for chaos to creep in.
