My experience at Planet Word museum in Washington DC! This doesn’t even use AI yet and I can’t imagine how the world will change when AI is deeply embedded into everything

Venture capital startups ?

When building a startup using VC money, your thinking and perspective has to change right away. If you walk into a meeting and tell a VC that you are building a company that will be worth $100 million, they will simply thank you and walk out. Not interested in small ideas. You may wonder why?

Something called venture math. For every 40 investments that an investor makes, around 30 of those go bankrupt. Some return some money and only 1 or 2 will return 100x or more. So when selecting companies they have to filter by the ones who can be at least $1 billion company.

The ultimate adversary is not just intelligent or merely inspirational. The most formidable opponent possesses both intelligence and the ability to inspire others.

The truth is you can’t build exceptional things in life without also convincing and inspiring extremely smart people to join you in the journey and take the risks.

“What should you do if you're young and ambitious but don't know what to work on? What you should not do is drift along passively, assuming the problem will solve itself. You need to take action. But there is no systematic procedure you can follow. When you read biographies of people who've done great work, it's remarkable how much luck is involved. They discover what to work on as a result of a chance meeting, or by reading a book they happen to pick up. So you need to make yourself a big target for luck, and the way to do that is to be curious. Try lots of things, meet lots of people, read lots of books, ask lots of questions.” - Paul Graham, founder of YCombinator
